Chick-Cago Grille

Their hot dog is quite bad. The bun is stale. The hot dog is way shorter than the bun. They give you no fries. instead they give you nacho chips with no sauce. Once I ordered the wait was about 8 minutes for them to give you a wrinkled dog.

The $5 price sounds decent for a lunch, because this is downtown Chicago. But for a poor hot dog, without a drink, it's overpriced.

This place destroyed and insulted the Italian Beef sandwich. I thought I would give it a try in maybe giving the Italian Beef sandwich a little bit of a twist but it tasted more like a revved up version of an Arby's roast beef sandwich with some cucumber style sauce and the green sauce in the cup? Cmon what's with that? And no this isn't Jerry Seinfeld reviewing this lol. I should of stuck with my Coast Burger which is still my favorite place to go at this food court.

I'll start with my biggest problem with this place: When you walk in the door, you are immediately attacked by 2, 3, or even 4 different servers.  "CAN I HELP YOU MISS?" "CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER?" "WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?" While some people may think that seems like good, prompt business, it's nothing but annoying and rude when you literally JUST stepped into the place and haven't even had the chance to look at the menu (or are OBVIOUSLY still reading it, like come on, give me 60 seconds to LOOK!).  I've had to tell them "I'm still looking" so many times before that I've gotten too annoyed and just left without buying anything.  It's also the reason I avoid stepping into the place whenever possible, because I DREAD the in-your-face, pushy service.

On to the times when I DID grin and bear their annoying behavior:

Bruschetta salad: decent, but kind of wet tasting.  I think the chicken was wet or something. But it was good.

3 cheese pasta without chicken: Good. That's it.  Watching them pull the wet noodles out of a big container sitting on the COUNTER and throwing some sauce and cheese into it is NOT appetizing, but it was a decent amount and okay taste-wise.  Though the container they put it in spilled all over the bag I carried it in.

Pizza: DO NOT ORDER THIS TO-GO.  It was literally a PILE OF MUSHY CHEESE by the time I walked the 2 buildings down back to my office.  Gross.  The crust was stuck to whatever plate they put it on and it wasn't even cooked all the way! Yuck.

All in all, MEH. You can find much better food for the same prices elsewhere, including the other places in this food court :)
