1. Flying Saucer Drive-In
In honor of my first Canadian review, I am going to attempt to be humble. But it's hard when Niagara Falls is hiding a darn fine invention such as this. I'm almost proud to be (sort of) 1/4 Canadian (on my mom's side).
The facts are pretty neat to…More »
2. Munchies & More
Chicago, IL 60618
(773) 583-7882
If I had life to do over again, I would have built up a business nest egg and opened a quick slice pizza place (heavy on the grease) named "Munchies." It would be the kind of place that would have food to satisfy those with the condition contained…More »
3. Arnie's Dog House
Whiting, IN 46394
(219) 659-3004
I have a crappy old car (hope it's not reading this right now, oh wait cars can't read) so I ended up taking U.S. 12 to the Indiana Dunes (to avoid sputter, sputter, freeway die). On the way we passed this little diner called Arnie's. My two hungry…More »
4. Billy Goat Tavern
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 222-1525
In a way, I'm almost disappointed. I have been to multiple locations of the Billy Goat Tavern (of SNL "cheezborger, cheezborger, cheezborger" sketch fame) and I have never been belittled, put upon, told off, corrected, or otherwise made to feel…More »
5. CND Gyros and Lounge - CLOSED
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 467-4195
Categories:
Delis,
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
This place begs the metaphysical question: is it possible to have a neighborhood dive bar where there is no neighborhood? It also begs a second question of: is it possible to have a trucker bar where there are no truckers?
Wandering around the area…More »
6. Teresa II Polish Restaurant & Lounge
In my attempts not to look weird, I occasionally end up doing weird things. See, I had waited for 20 minutes to catch the CTA Holiday Train on the Blue Line, so I wasn't going to just ride it for one stop to Belmont (where the errands I needed to…More »
7. Chicken Run
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 227-2370
Categories:
Mexican,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Logan Square
I'm in the minority here it seems because: 1) I'm a vegetarian and didn't eat the chicken and 2) I went there for breakfast and not lunch or dinner.
I don't recommend this place for weekend breakfast at all. The service, despite the restaurant being…More »
8. Golden Apple Restaurant
While I ate here on Sunday night I was fantasizing, I have to admit.
No, not about what you think I was fantasizing about (especially if you were part of the Yelp Late Night Dining Crew that was there with me). I was off in a dream world trying to…More »
9. Choi's Chinese Restaurant
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 486-8496
Category:
Food Delivery Services
Neighbourhood: Logan Square
There's a huge wellspring of anger about a certain coffee shop with a non-competitiveness clause just down Milwaukee from Choi's. The rule they put in place was that their next door neighbor can't sell individual croissants. Well, I'm starting to…More »
10. G & G Restaurant
If I were put in a Pavlovian experiment, I would positively confound the researchers. You see, each and every time that I eat at G & G, I get ill. These maladies range from simply being a bit run down at work to all-out think I have food poisoning,…More »

Recently updated lists from Michael G.
ROT Me? (8)ROTDs! I don't know if I'll ever figure out the formula; but to whatever mad scientist created it and all the people who FUCed me so I could get it, thanks! |
Newbie Near D.C. (17)Places I went during my first three months in my new area (even if I wrote the reviews later). Watch out for gross generalizations based on first impressions. |
Hoodbridge And Manassty (4)Prince William Parkway's dueling cousins - Manassas and Woodbridge. Neither is as bad as their nicknames would suggest. |
The Bigger City (30)Where can someone who lived in Chicago go that is more exciting than home? Not too many places. New York is one. NYC from a Washington D.C. by way of Chicago perspective. |
One Of The Cool Kids (70)When I stop Yelping obscure, and start Yelping where the masses do. My reviews of Yelp's most reviewed places (over 200 reviews besides mine). |
Show Me The Way To The Next Mu-Se-Um (24)The whisky bar can wait until after dark. Museums around the world. |
Arlingandria (6)Two Virginia cities that used to be part of Washington D.C. and have the urbanity to prove it. |
Get Your Group-On (28)I'm not much for the herd mentality, but I do love a good deal. Groupon supplies a lot of both. |
Put Your Balls In The Little Hole (3)It's A Mini-Golf List. Sickos! |
Watching People And Things Crash Into Each Other (8)Sports venues and teams. |
