Overpriced and overcooked
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

This was probably my worst food eating experience in Chicago. If Chicago is known for their food, the tourists are going to leave quickly if they enter this establishment. It was awful - and that's putting it nicely. There is not one nice thing I can say about the place. First, the server skipped over our table and went to help someone who came in after us. Then we ordered buffalo wings - instead of wings, they should have been called 1/2 chickens. It was gross, impossible to pull apart and you could just hear the poor chickens scream as we had to pull apart the limbs. It says Citysearch voted it Best Wings - I would vote it Worst Wings and trust me...I love wings and eat them often. Moving on...if you order soda, there are no free refills - seriously how cheap is this place! And we were charged $.50 for sour cream on a baked potato when NOTHING comes on it. Otherwise, our food was overcooked. Even the fries were nothing to write home about. The service was mediocre at best - she never came over to ask how everything was, which was probably good on her part because I would have told her the truth. We both had the rotissere chicken, which was completely overcooked with 10 year old corn on the cob and terrible bread. Overall, this was the worst and I'm sad I actually gave them some money. The only good thing about this experience was that I got to leave.
