I like the amber beer in particular. The pizzas that I've had are good, although, I have to wonder what they mean by thin crust, Chicago pizza. I don't think the menu writer has been to Chicago. As to the idea of eating anything other than the pizza, forget it.\n\nOn a recent trip to Chicago Brewing, we got the steak sandwich and the Huli chicken sandwich. The steak sandwich comes on a large roll with the steak inside smothered in some sort of mayonnaise based glop. You would have to unhinge your jaw to take a bite. No problem though, the greasy stuff they coat the steak with acts as a lubricant and with only a slight tilt, the top slides right off. After I scraped off as much of the oily mess as possible, I took my first bite. I found the meat sufficiently tough that it would take a school of Piranhas about a week to consume. Resorting to a knife, I chiseled my way to a second bite only to discover I was eating a solid piece of gristle. Disgusting. My waitress agreed and I was spared paying for this tribute to the lowest consumable grade of meat the USDA permits restaurants to legally serve. \n\nThen there was the Chicken sandwich. It was so dry that I do not believe it could have been served in a place where smoking is permitted due to the imminent fire hazard posed by the flammable material found in the bun. The skin on the chicken could not be pierced by anything short of an industrial laser, although, I'm certain that any Texan would love to have a pair of boots made of this stuff. Eating it, however, is out of the question.\n\nGo to Chicago Brewing for beer and pizza and avoid getting too adventurous when ordering from the menu."^^ .
