We were the first ones in the restaurant for an early Sunday dinner.  The hostess was also our waitress but service was still very good.

Our meal began with bacon wrapped dates, very well done.  The bacon was crispy and the blue cheese wasn't…More »

I love this place!  Excellent burgers and a very good beer selection!  Although they are a tad bit pricey for drinks, I don't mind supporting small craft breweries.  I've tried at least 5 different burgers here and all of them have been superb.  On…More »

I loved everything about our first visit to this restaurant.

Went on New Years Eve and it wasn't overly crowded, at 7pm I was quoted a 25m wait (which was realistically only 15m).

We both had coffee which was very good.  We also heard that the french…More »

This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Chicago.  I am former military and drinking copious amounts of coffee was a part of daily life, and it was awful tasting crap.  But coming to Kickstand and getting a cup (or two) of delicious metropolis,…More »

I've been to the Belmont location many times and I've tried many different breakfast items here (Southern Decadence, French Toast fantasy, few different omelettes, and a couple breakfast wraps).  I must say that I am always happy with the quality of…More »

Aje's is conveniently located just a couple short blocks from my apartment, which is great because their menu is perfect for a quick breakfast or light lunch.  My favorite is the downtown club, but all of their other wraps and salads very good as…More »

We ordered the Tandoori chicken, chicken vindaloo, vegetable samosas, naan, and two desserts.  EVERYTHING was delicious.  The reason for our gluttony was the http://restaurant.com coupon we used (spend $45, get $25 off).  Even without the coupon I…More »

Been here twice now for breakfast.  While the decor isn't the most welcoming, the food and service has been excellent.  The caprese and tijuana benedicts are both delicious.  The chai french toast is another good choice off the menu.  My girlfriend…More »

This place is great for quick, tasty food.  I've tried the chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp tacos and I really can't comment on a favorite, they're ALL delicious.  One taco uses two small tortillas but they fill them with so much of the ingredients…More »

Pick me up is good for any meal, but I most often come for breakfast.

The omelettes are by far my favorite with the GORP taking first place.  Once I had a huge appetite and overly sweet tooth that led me to the chocolate chip pancakes...  There was so…More »

I am going to echo most of the comments that have already been made:

+ Pannenkoeken are wonderful.

- Space is absurdly limited.

We came as first time diners with a groupon in hand.  I tried the sausage and havarti while my girlfriend had the apple,…More »

My review isn't going to add anything new to the past bad reviews.  By now Lucky's has had enough time to change the reoccurring issues with their food but I get the feeling they don't care.

Been here twice, I can't even remember the first sandwich I…More »
