Chicago Joe's

Eh, food was so, so. Not like it used to be.  Potato salad? The drink I ordered had to be returned 2 times, was horrible.  But three times the charm.  The service was pretty good because the hostess handled the drink issue with a smile, but we got dirty looks from the bar maid who messed it up twice.

Hmmmm not sure why the bad reviews but my friends and I had a great time at this place!  We were starving so it was great that they brought bread to the table.  We all ordered entrees and it came with soup or salad....we got the gumbo and it had a nice taste to it.  We all had something different (ribs, seafood, and chicken) and we all enjoyed it.  This spot is def not a 5 star resturant but a great casual place to enjoy friend time. Plus our waitress was singing too...we need to take her to karaoke lol.

The atmosphere seemed a little kitchy, but we had really nice service, so I can't fault a place for having a "theme" and sticking with it, when they have good service.

The food is a little pricey for what you get. The menu seemed like it had some good options and not so good options, and you have to eat there a few times to figure it all out.

To be honest, I got the mini-burgers, and that is why I gave it 3 stars. I felt like they were too thick, and boring. Expect sliders or some taste when you order mini-burgers, not just a big burger cut in thirds. Yet the fries were really good, so that saved it.

My wife had the fish and chips and it was pretty good. Again though, it seemed like the total dish was a little lacking in something, just didnt get WOWED by it.

I would definitely stop in again, because of the service, and because the food is GOOD just now WOW, but it deserves a second chance since we did visit on a late Sunday evening.  We plan to try the brunch.
