I've been to West Addison a few times. This restaurant/bar is right next to the Armitage Restaurant. Addison & Armitage are two street names in Chicago. You might remember the scene in the Blues Brothers when the state troopers and the Illinois Nazi were camped outside Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, looking for Jake & Elwood Blues. That's because Elwood put down 1060 West Addison on his driver's license as his home address.
So with a name like West Addison I'm figuring this is a Chicago place....NOT! Why do they have a picture of the legendary Green Bay Packer's coach Vince Lombardi instead of displaying the beloved papa bear George Halas? My wife and I were watching the Chicago Bulls play the Raptors and all of a sudden the game was switched to the NY Knicks game, WTF. BTW, they had about 3 other games on as well. Why did you pick to turn off DA BULLS? Got some lame excuse from the waitress, complete FAIL.
Enough about the ambience and on to the food. On past visits I have had the ribs which were good but not great. I really love the sweet potato tatar tot appetizers, simply amazing. The nachos are substandard and the wings are ok. I enjoyed their burgers. But I really love their chicken strips on the appetizer menu which comes with waffle fries, this is only $6 during 3-7pm happy hour.
