| - Husband and I have decided to start trying different food spots from the norm. We were in the area and decided on Baby's (or bah-bee's, as Husband likes to pronounce it). I had seen an ad in some mailer and knew that they offered sugar-free lemonade (for the diabetic husband). He was excited for that, as he loves lemonade and can never have it outside the home. Anyway, we were there around 7pm on a Friday night and the place was pretty bare so I was a little skeptical. A few kids hanging in the parking lot and one person waiting for their to-go order. The cashier was very friendly. As we were looking at the menu he asked if we had ever been there and then proceeded with samples of both regular and strawberry lemonade. He suggested the crispy Phillies, and had I read prior reviews, would probably had ordered that.
We went with the original Phillies. Husband had Buffalo fries and sugar-free strawberry lemonade, I had garlic fries and strawberry lemonade. The lemonades were decent. The regulars are stored already made in the fridge counter shelf. The sugar-free was made to order with Splenda. They blend the drinks, so that's a yummy plus for me.
The sandwiches were good. Not amazing, but not bad either. I'd maybe prefer my onions and green peppers to be not as soft as they were, but I'm really not too picky. They told us that Baby's Secret Sauce is good on the Phillies, which it was. A sweet bbq-ish sauce with a little kick. Husband really liked his fries...regular fries doused with buffalo sauce...I think Franks since there was a bottle on the table. They came with a side of ranch. The garlic fries were also good and came with sour cream...reminds me of a yummy baked potato. The staff came by our table a couple times to ask if all was well and to clear the trash.
Our meals were the special - Philly, fries & drink for $8.49. Normal prices would make it a little on the pricey side, but it was good food.
The menu is diverse and I think they'd have something for everyone. They even have a peanut butter and apple jelly sandwich. I have no idea if that may be a Chicago staple, but I have never seen a peanut butter/apple jelly sandwich on a restaurant's menu...only make them at home.
By the time we left, there had been a couple to-goers and a few eating in, with a couple ordering, so I decided that maybe business wasn't so slow after all. We will definitely be back so I can try the Crispy Philly!
