Boston Blackies

what i ate- the blackie burger

came here for a quick lunch. though the restaurant was crowded we were seated quickly. but service after that was a bit slow and our waiter was hard to understand. we ordered immediately since we were on a tight lunch schedule, but 1 person in our group of 3 still ended up having to switch his order to go since it took a while to get our food.

i was disappointed in the burger. mine was overcooked and the onions were undercooked. the meat itself lacked seasoning so i had to use bbq sauce for some flavor. and the bacon was not very crispy and didnt add much to the burger. overall a disappointing burger that i wont be back for a second try.

Blackies is a decent place.  Food is good, not great.  Staff is good, not great.  Drink list could use some improvement.  If I didn't work in the same building, I probably would spend much time here though.

Met with former First Chicago co-workers, service was great, portions were good and drink selection was great.  Great time for all.
