| - I have been meaning to do another review of this place for quite sometime since everything has changed here. They totally changed up the menu and specials and remodeled. The new look of the dining room is pretty cool and much more open and they have a shuffle board table which is cool. The patio is still pretty cool when the TVs are operational. Service overall seems to have gotten better since they have reopened. I am not a fan of the new menu at all. They have changed the recipe of their hot wing sauce and I am not too found of them (they used to be my favorite wings in town). I have had the pizza a couple times and it is absolutely awful, even for the 5 dollar special they have most evenings and weekends. The crust is a good crispy thin crust, but the sauce has all of the flavor of maybe ketchup at best and there is barely enough cheese to cover the thing. There are also now a handful of overpriced Chicago type of items on the menu like Chicago dogs, polish sausages, Italian sausage/beef, but there are so many other Chicago style restaurants in the area with better prices I find it hard to try any of them. I have tried their cheese filled toasted ravioli which were cool on happy hour, but I think they have since removed those from the menu. As far as drinks go if it is happy hour the $3 wells are the way to go. Draft beers are I think $4 for HH and $5 regular which is strip club/night club pricey to me for a regular pint. Wells are almost $5 when it is not happy hour as well, so I would suggest getting a long island for $5 which is huge and also good. Overall even though I still frequent this place, I just cannot enjoy myself here like I used to and find myself going to Zipps more and more. They have also kicked smokers off of half of the back half of the patio, I guess so they can open those doors on nice days. This used to be a place where you could enjoy a nice cigar, a drink and watch the game. Since they have moved the smoking area, you really cannot enjoy yourself the same way. The space is more limited over on that side and the TVs are much smaller. Not to mention only one of the two TVs over there works. I would also think this change would bother non smokers too since the smoking area is now right next to the front door making all the customers walk past the smell. Such a shame what happened here really.
