This was my first and sadly my last time here! A friend of mine who has eaten there on several prior occasions suggested the place. Since she spoke so highly of it, I really wanted to try it.
At first glance, I was very impressed with the decor, but that's about the only thing that impressed me. My dining companion said that she only gets one thing when she dines at Chicago Brewing Company -- the Shrimp Cocktail. When they brought her plate of shrimp out(it was previously served in a cocktail glass), the first thing she said to me was "the shrimp are smaller and the price went up since the last time I ate here."
I wanted to try a Chicago Style Pizza and so I ordered one. The first one came out, I didn't like the sauce they used although the toppings were quite tasty (bacon and chicken) We asked if they would re-make the pizza this time using a white sauce and they obliged. The second one came out but was obviously under cooked. I had one piece of each pizza, a coke and just because I didn't eat much I ordered a root beer float.
My companion and I both left unsatisfied. Within less than an hour, I became physically ill. From reading the reviews here it seems like most of the people like the place but that was not our experience. Unfortunately, I can't agree with everyone else this time. In my opinion the food is mediocre at best and priced a bit on the high side. A complete and total waste of $40 and talk about something that will ruin someones day? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have posted an accurate, fair review. Thanks for taking the time to read. Hope your experience (if you decide to go here) is leaps and bounds better than mine was!
If the business owner is willing and should happen to see this review; I would graciously accept a refund but I don't believe you could ever convince me to return.
