Anyway's Chicago Restaurant & Pub

Came here with our family on one of the first very nice nights of the year and sat outside. It was so pleasant! We did not notice any "fumes" from Roosevelt Road as another poster complained. We had a baby in our group and ordered her dinner first, and our server was very accomodating with that. My only minor complaint was that the baby's dinner came and we still hadn't gotten any silverware so we could not cut up her food until we got that, and the baby was a little impatient! But it was a busy night. Others have complained about the food being pricey, but I did order a filet and I felt I got very good value for the price. It was a good size, cooked pretty close to how I ordered it, and very tasty. We all ordered different things and each meal was good! There were many menu items that looked good so we will be back to try something else. Especially since they seem family friendly!

Met some friends after work yesterday for the Hawks game. They have a good selection of beers, and a great happy hour appetizer offer from 3-6 in the bar area. We had the steak fajita quesadillas and the nachos platter, both were excellent. Service was good, staff was friendly and attentive. Didn't make it to the restaurant section, but it appeared busy.

My boyfriend and I recently went to Anyway's for dinner.  We had an awful experience.  We sat in the bar area so we could watch some of the games that were on.  The waitress came to the table on several occasions to ask if we needed anything and before we could respond, she was gone.  We had to ask another waitress to refill our drinks.  We were going to stay after eating, but decided to go elsewhere because the service was so bad.  

Then we get the check.  My boyfriend gave his credit card to pay the bill.  When the reciept came, we noticed that it was a different price than the bill.  We were promised that the card was not run at that price and the bill would be adjusted.  We were also promised that the card was not run twice.  Come Monday, my boyfriend check his statement to find that they indeed ran the card twice (two different amounts.)  When he called to dispute this, he was told by an employee that they would "probably" refund the card.  He was not comfortable with a "probably" answer, so he asked for the manager.  He was then put on hold for about 15 minutes without anyone coming back to the phone.

After this experience and just OK food, I will never be back.  According to the credit card company, this is a trick restaurants like to do in hopes that people don't notice and they make an extra buck.  So, watch out!!  I will definitely be telling my family and friends that Anyway's likes to steal people's money.
