Very poor restaurant. I feel like it is a place that could be featured on those reality shows where a famous chef rescues a failing establishment. Their menu is so big it can't all be fresh. The fajitas were atrocious. Marinated in a disgusting extra salty dark brown liquid. The salmon sandwich features the ends of salmon filets. It's a joke. Why does a BBQ western place serve pizza?!? Service was extremely friendly.
Review Source:The Claim Company is an prime example of trying to do too much, and not really succeeding at any of it.
The overall ambiance is over done South Western Kitsch, that seems to cover every wall. Useless "decorations" abound as tripping hazards. At least there were no "pun" or joke signs trying to lighten the mood.
Apparently this was still the best of a series of bad dining choices in the area though, as there was still a 45+ minute wait on a Sunday Night. I was able to find a seat at the bar though and order food from there.
Bartenders were friendly, but kept tag teaming the service. This led to a few small issues in overall service. Â
The martini I ordered, dry with well vodka was mediocre, but expected when ordering well. The "one trip" through the salad bar was probably the best part of the meal. While not an impressive salad bar by any means, it was certainly passable. A few unexpected gems such as kalamata olives in addition to black olives, and a fairly passable selection of dressings promised much.
The main course was the BBQ skirt steak, which was served on a slice of garlic bread. The BBQ sauce on the steak was OK, but it tasted a lot like Heinz BBQ sauce. The meat itself was quite chewy for skirt steak and other then the BBQ sauce, not a lot of flavor. Even the garlic bread - what few bites I had of it before it became to soggy, didn't have much taste.
The green beans on the side were actually the best part of the meal. They were cooked perfectly, although for most places they would actually have been undercooked.
Over all, it was OK. I won't avoid the Claim Company, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back either.
Okay, so after waiting a few months, I went back. Â I am happy to report that the lady hovering around the salad bar, or the salad bar nazi as I called her, is GONE! That is the only major improvement. Â The salad bar has gotten a teeny bit better, but the prepared salads are always so mayo laden.
If you are coming here for the salad bar, come around 11:30am. Â That's when it is the freshest!
Eh. Gets really crowded during the day. Have you ever really hoped you'd like somewhere, and then just went "nah."? Well, that's Claim Company for me. Located in Northbrook court and including a Salad bar, it's actually potentially more healthy than any other restaurant in the area. (PF Changs has about as much salt as a can of Campbells in everything you order, not to mention having more calories than a Mcdonalds shake).
My goal was to have a decent relatively healthy meal. The reality is that the food here is fairly overpriced and not even close to the quality I would expect even if it was cheaper. Â I started with the steamed whole artichoke. This was pretty decent, except for the fact that it was $8.29. I'm sorry, but that's a rip off for a single artichoke that you steamed. You changed a 2 to an 8, is how I would word this. At $2.29, this would be acceptable. There's no creation involved even though you call it a "Claim Company Creation", and I wouldn't be surprised if it was frozen before you cooked it and served it. Â Considering I can buy artichokes on amazon for about $1.50 which is high by itself, I don't see what makes this worth 4x the premium. You can tell it's a selling point as it's at the top of the menu.
Now, lets get to the salad bar. That's what I came for, right? Oh, whoops - I forgot, they had tomato soup to give us beforehand, which tasted premade. It may have come with the salad bar but it was still pretty gross.
Then we get to the salad bar, which seems to have a lot of turnover of food but it seems to be coming from prepared frozen buckets in the back. So again we get to a theme here - if you're going to make a salad bar, employ some chefs who do so. Don't just unfreeze a block of food which still has ice in it mostly because I don't want to eat ice frozen with the food. That's just disgusting. Â Should I even go on?
TLDR: I was disappointed here, bigtime. unhealthy, lack of preparation on the food (which reflects on the chefs and/or management) and low quality (which reflects on the chefs and/or management).
I have jumped the Claim, and that means I'm sure a heck not coming back here.
This is NOT your mother and father's Claim Company. I remember when it used to be in the location of Di Pescara in NB Court, when it was plain and simple without the corny Southwestern Cowboy theme....oh yeah, and the food was good.
The place now looks like it's dealing with an identity crisis. I don't know whether to cover my ears for bad country music about to be played or wait for a kids birthday party to come blowing through the doors, but the theme is not doing it so much for me.
The food is mediocre at best. I had a burger, built it myself for $11.00. For less than that, I can get a MUCH better burger at Charlie Beinlichs, and believe me, next time I WILL.
My folks had the salad bar which is a far cry from what it used to be. The food items do not seem all freshly prepared. Claim Company used to pride itself on the quality of their food, and now it seems they have thrown quality to the wayside. Best of luck serving mediocre product to the people of the Northshore.
I give it 2 stars based on what this place USED to be, in hopes that they can turn things around. An alternative to Food Court food in Northbrook Court is an awesome concept, but has to be executed better than what Claim Company is currently putting out there.
One trip to the salad bar with a sandwich is  not great when the sandwich comes while you barely had a chance to eat the salad.  Sent back the food while we ate our salad.  When the sandwiches were brought out, the buns were over toasted and 2 of the 3 sandwiches came out wrong.  When the second sandwich came out wrong the third time, we knew there was a Big problem in the kitchen.  Although our waiter was so apologetic, the manager said 600 meals come out correct, guess ours didn't.  Although we like the menu, location and price, we won't be back.
Review Source:I used to come here years ago when it was open in Chicago, and at Northbrook Court. I liked the atmosphere better then, darker, more woody, and authentic. Salad bar back then seemed to be more extensive, and burgers were large and quite delicious. Maybe it was an off nite, but I found the burger to be not impressive. The bun was cold, and my medium rare burger was also a bit cold as well. I was looking forward to an extraordinary burger, and what I got was not that. I may go back again someday, but not for awhile.
Review Source:Let me start by saying that I was looking for a steakhouse. Â I thought this was one walking in. Â It's not. Â I had the Cajun egg rolls to start... there is nothing Cajun about them. Â They had very little flavor. Â They were just chicken and cheese in an eggroll. Â Then I had the "motherlode" burger. Â It kind of bothered me right offf the bat that the waiter couldn't even tell me how big the burger is. Â If you call your burger "The Motherlode", you should be able to tell someone the size. Â His response was, "Well, it's pretty big". Â The burger was a solid "okay" as far as burgers go. Â I had the onion roll and goat cheese. Â The cheese really set it off. Â I also paid extra to have a fried egg added to it. Â The fried egg was finally brought out to me when I was half done with the burger, on its own plate.
All in all, I would not fear going back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make a return visit.
Haven't eaten here in years. I had a burger it was a typical burger, kids had hot dogs. Service was good. Wife had a taco Salad, key word being SALAD! Now modt salads have a variety of vegetables plus add the salad shell/bowl and taco meat and you have your taco salad. This had 80 percent spicy ground beef and no real salad to speak of, my wife ate half of it and then pushed it away. Â I tried it and found it to be unappealing and not very tasty. So if your going to eat here dont have the taco salad. The salad bar is probably the best thing going here.
Review Source:Decent burger place with a nice salad bar. Â The burgers are fine, nothing special, but it's nice that you can put any toppings you want on your burger without any up-charge. Â It was also nice to see that they offered gluten free buns, as my mother is gluten intolerant so she was actually able to enjoy a burger with a bun for a change. Â I also did the salad bar add on to the burger, which was a nice way to start the meal. Â Tons of options on the salad bar, and a very large selection of dressings and pasta salads too. Â The star of the meal for me though was the potato chips. Â They were crispy and delicious!
Review Source:There are so many fabulous restaurants in the suburbs, why settle for mediocre. I've eaten here numerous times when my husband and I meet for dinner with his family. His family had zero taste in restaurants lol the salad bar is ok but often the lettuce has brown edges. The food is not fresh and nothing is natural, I break out in hives from artificial chemicals and preservatives and always react here. This is the second time this restaurant has opened in northbrook court, perhaps they should have stopped when they were ahead. If you want a delicious, fresh meal try di pescara which is also in northbrook court. You will be happy you did.
Review Source:Oh Motherload of all places to make me happy, when I'm craving a burger or steak, killer salad bar, or delicious sweet potato fries...Claim Company you've got the goods!
I've consigned myself to limiting my red meat intake, and once or twice a year when my parents come to town this is the spot I choose to reward myself. This place is legendary and made a comeback a few years ago after closing its doors. Always busy, but never too long of a wait, the service is excellent and the food comes out quickly. Here's the catch with this place though, the portion sizes are ginormous for the average eater - even the kid's menu items. Be prepared to leave bursting at the seams or carrying a take-home container. Or I say be smart on your belt and your wallet and plan to split. Though the prices are extremely reasonable for the portion size, there is no way your everyday Jill or Joe could finish an entire Motherload burger or steak.
First let me tell you about the salad bar. Honestly, it's one of the largest I've seen. I'm typically not a fan of publicly-shared food as it really creeps me out, but this salad bar is clean and very sanitary. There is also another whole section with muffins and bread items. I like to load up for the entire table to enjoy, making sure to pile high because you only get one round.
Anyone in the area who knows meat has probably heard of the infamous Motherload gourmet burger. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Choose your meat, choose your bun, choose your toppings, and load up to the ceiling if you like, because everything's included in the price. Order a side of sweet potato fries and what more can I say other than, "Yee haw cowboys and cowgirls!"
The atmosphere of this place is like being at an indoor dude ranch. The décor is a lot of fun, the restaurant is bustling with energy, and when you sit down at your table you feel like you are eating under the stars with the whole gang.
We like Claim Company. I remember coming here as a kid, then it went away, and now its back. Great salad bar. Really good burgers and chicken sandwiches. Can't beat the unlimited topping aspect as I love all that special crap on my sandwiches. Lots of breads to choose from, good muffins, just yummy. Oh, and they have Diet Sprite on tap!!! No one has Diet Sprite on tap and they do! Thank you Claim Company for bringing me one of my favorite soft drinks.
Review Source:The Motherload burger is fantastic. Its a make it your own with many choices. You can choose a pretzel roll bun and their famous bbq sauce to put on your burger. Another amazing thing there is their homemade chips. you dip one into their bbq sauce and it tastes Amazing! They also have a Motherload Challenge witch is a 3 and a half pound burger!
Review Source:The highlight here is the build your own burger with no restriction on the number of toppings you can add. For about $10 you can make a decent rather gourmet burger and the meat is good.
But that's the only highlight. The service is OK but don't expect a smile or a lot of attention. The dining room is really not appealing and almost cafeteria style and when it's packed with a few large parties it's quite noisy.
Bottom line, OK burgers but don't expect much of an experience.
I'd eaten at several different place on movie excursions to Northbrook Court, but had never spotted The Claim Company until this past weekend. Scanning the menu posted outside, the extensive southwestern offerings, plus a salad bar, looked promising. So, after the movie, in I went.
The salad bar seemed a popular choice, but having spotted a soft taco choice on the menu, that's what I had a taste for. A pleasant, friendly hostess/waitress led me through the pleasantly darkened room to a table; western decor everywhere. The meal came quickly; of the meat choices (ground beef, pork, chicken), I'd opted for the chicken, which was nicely spiced or marinated. Accompanied by a generous rice side and refried beans (does anyone really like those?), the tacos came with guacamole, sour cream and salsa, all of which added to the tastiness of the main course.
While the dining room got decently populated, the noise level and overall ambience never got annoying, and the men's room was immaculate. Overall, my visit to The Claim Company was a very positive experience, and the menu options almost demand a second try, and maybe a third.
Came here recently for lunch with coworkers. Â None of us had been here before and were excited to try it out. Â We weren't disappointed. Â We asked what their specialty was...and our server told us their burgers and their salad bar, and/or pretty much anything with their bbq sauce. Â I settled on a prime burger, so did one coworker, and the other 2 chose the unlimited salad bar and bowl of soup.
We were all happy. Â My burger was cooked perfectly. Â They have a great variety of bread (I had mine on pretzel bread...which I don't see often on menus, so that was a plus for me), cheese, and unlimited toppings. Â My burger came with their house chips, which were delicious, and still crispy after eating leftovers for dinner. Â Portions are generous. Â My coworker also enjoyed her burger.
The two coworkers who had the salad bar said it had a great variety including cold pastas and also breads (muffins, cornbread, etc.). Â I almost asked for a single trip to the salad bar after I saw what they brought back on their plates...it looked so good.
Service was great. Â Our server was attentive, polite, and helpful. Â We didn't have to wait for drinks and he was quick to bring new plates for the salad bar. Â Ambiance is very 'western' and suited to the restaurant. Â There were a few families there and it seems like a good place to go if you want a good meal with the kids after/before shopping around the mall.
All in all, a great lunch, and I'll definitely be back again for lunch and maybe even dinner.
Luv, Luv, Luv  Claim Company! I went here a couple nights ago with the family. The food is out of this world! One of my favorite dishes to get here is the BBQ Chicken Wrap. This is a flour tortilla wrap that has BBQ chicken, romaine lettuce, fried onions, monterey jack cheese, and ranch dressing. In addition, with your meal you have got to go to the salad bar. They have a wide variety of salads, dressings, muffins roles etc. So good! The only problem I have with this restaurant is that at times you can have a wait to get a table. You should plan early and reserve a table on opentable!
Review Source:We came here last week with another family and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
Positives: Excellent burgers and superb wings (app). Nice variety of items on the menu and the salad bar is great. Yes some point out that's it one trip, but lets face it for $4 add-on, most places just bring you a side salad: so quite your bitching.
Negatives: Service was poor and the waitress always seemed to be in a hurry and refills, checking on our meals,etc was almost nonexistent. We basically had to flag her down for everything. The kids pizza, which 2 kids ordered, looked and tasted like a cheap frozen pizza. No reason why something so simple can't be made on site.
Overall: Its a great option in the mall and we will most likely return. Giving 4 stars, when service was so poor, is a stretch, but except for that and the kids pizza, everything was very good.
Um.. the only reason to go here is for their burgers, which are pretty good. Â Their salad bar sucks. Â Especially in comparison to most other restaurants with such a self-proclaimed amazingly fantastical salad bar option.
I've sat down in this restaurant once for a meal, and have had take-out a few times. Â The waiter I had was really cheesy and laughed at his own failed jokes one too many times. Â The atmosphere is pretty tacky too. Â There is really no "pizzaz" to this place. Â It is in no way memorable and nothing tempts me to come back again for a sit down meal.
I work in the mall so it's easy to get take-out, but a lot of times I've noticed they aren't on top of their orders. Â And once I asked for specific sides on my burger, which I did not get. Â OH! Â I almost forgot to mention that they serve the rarest burgers I've ever seen. Â I ask for medium-rare every time, and yet every time it appears much more pink that what I asked for. Â I'm not sure if this is a bad thing because it definitely didn't taste bad, nor did it make me sick... but it just wasn't what I wanted. Â So they could work on being more conscious of preparing their orders.
The best part about takeout from Claim Co. is stealing handfuls of chocolate mints at the hostess desk while i wait a good 10-15 minutes for my order that I called in for over an hour before picking up.
anal.
the restaurant policy about not sharing salad is standard, yes. but it is only standard when the salad bar is unlimited. there was one option where you could only get salad ONCE. and you still couldn't share? i don't get it.. it's like any other entree then.. no? either way.. the waitress there was sooo anal.. she was all up on our asscracks. eeeeeek. not a good feeling when you're trying to enjoy lunch.
SWEET POTATO FRIES-- i'm not a fan of Cinnamon but they sprinkled some cinnamon on their fries. i have to say, it was a pleasant surprise. nowhere have i ever had sweet potato fries with cinnamon on it. good combination. thumbs up for that one.
CLAIM BURGER-- definitely get it with the pretzel bun. it gives it a unique look and taste. and you can CLAIM you've had a pretzel bun now. (was that too lame? hehehehe) anyways.. burger was juicy!! excellento! the COLE SLAW on the other hand.. was oddddddd. and way too green for my liking. tasted like wasabi though. if you were expecting KFC's or Popeye's cole slaw-- let me warn you now-- that is NOT what you are going to get.
SALAD-- wide variety. loved their pasta salads!!
oh what was the best part??
THEIR CHOCLATE MINT THINGS AT THE FRONT. my friends and i were so addicted to it, it's not even funny. actually it was funny when we tried to take a handful and the hostess was standing right there. BAHAHAHA. i want some more.
This place sucks. Â It should not exist in the same mall as a Tiffany and Louis Vuitton.
So, it's Friday even and we like taking the kiddo out because she loves going to restaurants. Â I figure that this place is probably like the Claim Jumper that closed in Wheeling - kid friendly, but with food good enough for me to eat, too.
WRONG!
So, the hostesses were all wearing sleeveless tops. Â It's 90 degrees out, and I'm not offended by a bare shoulder or two, so whatever - however, the manager was yelling at them about it while we were trying to get a table. Â Not exactly a great way to walk into a place I've never been before, but I didn't give it much thought.
Our waitress needed a serious attitude adjustment. Â I could see her rolling her eyes when she walked to our table and I'm assuming it was because we had a small child. Â She happens to be a very well behaved and we clean up any of the food that might accidentally fall on the floor on its way to her mouth.
The food is terrible. Â I got the fajitas because there was a sign that said they were the "best in town." Â They're not - not even close. Â We never got drink refills. Â WAY too expensive - $50 for dinner for three. Â And another waiter had to come and cash us out because after the waitress gave us the bill, she disappeared, never to be seen again.
And I mean, NEVER, because we'll never go there again.
Several weeks ago my wife and son and I sat down at The Claim Company in Northbrook. The restaurant was almost empty, yet it took our waiter a half an hour to come up to our table and take our order. He was standing several feet away from our table, but continued in conversations with others.
I was thinking: did I say or do something to offend him, neh that couldn't be. Anywho, then it took another half hour for my mediocre blackened catfish sandwich to come out. By this time my wife already had her salad from the bar. At the end of our lunch I had to find my tattoo-covered waiter myself because he was nowhere to be found, and after more than 90 minutes of bad expereince I just wanted to go. I found him sitting down at the bar watching TV and talking to other people. Nice!
We only eat the salad bar here.  We eat salads everywhere in the world.  Im a restaurant owner and hope this message gets to the owners of the Claim: The Salad Bar is my favorite anywhere.  We thoroughly enjoy eating salads here.  The Selection and freshness is impeccable. BUT....the set up is bad.  Too tight.  Should have given more space to salad bar when designing restaurant.  And the  serving utensiils are horribly impractical and ineffective. Plus, no italian vinegrette??
Still, we love eating salad here and come once per week from Morton Grove.
By the way, only reason i know about the salad bar is from you ad @ Make it Better
As a kid, I loved going to both Claim Company locations in 900 North Michigan Ave. and Northbrook Court while out in the 'burbs visiting my grandparents. The north suburban favorite has been revived with its ample salad bar, huge burgers, homemade chips, and some great Tex-Mex classics added to the menu.
For those that are into delicious, perfectly seasoned, juicy beef burgers, the Claim Company is a dream. Their Motherlode burger is freakin' epic and comes with as many delicious, premium toppings--from caramelized onions and barbecue rub to Maytag bleu cheese--as you want with no add-on to the base price. The only extra charges are for tangy Wisconsin cheddar spread or a fried egg atop the sandwich of your carnivorous fantasies. All sandwiches (whether you get a Motherlode burger, grilled chicken patty, tuna steak, or veggie burger) come with a side of chips and the option to swap that for French fries, sweet potato fries, creamy cole slaw, baked potato, or baked sweet potato.
For an additional $3.99, you get an aluminum platter that you can load as many delicious greens, vegetables, fruits, quick breads, and dressings on as your gluttonous little heart desires. I'm partial to the mixed greens with tomatoes, bacon bits, shredded carrots, jicama, sunflower seeds, and fried onion strips with garlic-herb vinaigrette. Make sure to save space on your plate for fresh strawberries and melon and mini corn- and blueberry-muffins.
Desserts are hit or miss. If your palate requires something a little sweet after gorging on all that meat, Claim Company offers two to three bite "shots" featuring their most popular dessert offerings.
So, with the solid makings for an awesome burger joint, why the three stars? The inconsistent service. Go on a quiet night and you'll receive pretty solid service with the occasional fumble. On a busy night? This popular establishment, especially since it's in a mall, seems way, way understaffed. The space can also get loud with so many young families. And, finally, I think the restaurant is still working out ordering--occasionally the salad bar just runs out of popular items (ahem, bacon bits) that are expected in a place famed for its great offerings.
Pretty good.
Took a lady friend there for an early Monday (5;00pm) evening dinner, Â Not crowded, though they were filling up as we left. Â Mix of young families and older (some rather cantakerous) diners.
Food was good, yes the decor is a cleaned up version of a trapped in the late 70s RJ Grunts ish kinda thing, but hey I respect the fact they are honoring the heritag eof the place. Â And it is clean.
Salad bar is good, as big as a Sweet Tomatoes...no as good...on some levels yes. Â Toppings interesting.
Burgers good, good sized, a lil pricey.
Yes, a little expensive, but pretty good overall. Â Staff is a little suburban mall chainy inexperienced, but about what I expected.
Woudl I go there again, sure, would I rush? Â No.
A local dining institution, The Claim Company is known for its build your own gourmet burgers (Motherlode burgers) and its salad bar (the Salad Saloon - it's no Fresh Choice but is sizeable).  The portions are generous like you'd expect from a family friendly old time Southwestern theme.  It reminded me of Chili's.  The décor is busy -it's meant to capture the look of their three previous locations.
The menu includes burgers (beef, chicken, turkey, veggie, tuna), salads, grilled meat, and sandwiches.
* Tuna steak Motherlode burger - you can choose the bread, cheese, toppings and sauces ($9.99) and it comes with a side of plain thin potato chips.  I chose a pretzel roll, blackening spice, mushrooms and sautéed onions.  The pretzel roll was the best part - fluffy, soft, chewy, slightly sweet, no salt on top.  I asked for the tuna steak to be cooked medium rare, but it was still dry on the edges.  They put very little blackening spice on the extra thick slab of tuna.  The tuna was definitely bland.  The soy wasabi dipping sauce didn't taste like soy or wasabi.
* Mozzarella sticks - these were big plump sticks, the cheese is wrapped in won ton wrappers, so it they sticks look like slim egg rolls, the skin had little flavor, the marinara sauce was okay.
My soda was watered down and flat tasting. Â I expected a little more from a local institution. Maybe it used to be a lot better.
Really more of a 3.5 star place, but part of my criticism is the interior itself, which has little to do with food or service, so I rounded up.
Ok - the ambience - it's a little cheesy and chainish. I do like the old place better in that respect - much more charm and class. But if the food is good, I can overlook it and in this case I do.
The "Motherlode" is still a great char-broiled burger with numerous options for variations. I've always received it cooked correctly and nicely presented. It's a pretty good value at $9.99 when many burgers are a little more pricey nowadays. I also enjoy the chicken quesadillas as an appetizer - their salsa complements them well.
I usually sit at the bar when I go there and service is cordial, though sometimes spotty. I enjoy the new Claim Company and feel that their burger is one of the better ones in Chicago - welcome back.
It's a shame to see other people had a bad experience. I had lunch here today and I was very pleased. The Motherload burger I had was awesome. I suppose if someone had a bland burger, they chose bland options. For my burger I took a page out of Kuma's and replicated the Mastodon (pretzel bun, cheddar, fried onions, Claim Company sauce). Again, the burger was awesome and one of the tastiest I've ever had. And it's good to know I can have a Kuma's burger without the Kuma's wait.
The decor is acceptable for the theme, but the sectioned off bar would be my preferred choice for seating.
I would hope other CC's menu items are as good, but I might never know cause I can't pass up that burger!
Other points go to:
-Mini pepper grinder and Claim Company sauce (yum!) at each table.
-Server provided extra napkins without a request.
-Dark atmosphere in sectioned off bar area.
-Big clean bathroom.
If this place ever gets Guinness on tap and waffle fries, I'd nut!
I remember eating here a bunch of times, as a kid, and I think the menu has improved quite a bit, minus the intimate atmosphere (both a plus and a minus). Â We went there on Memorial Day, later in the evening, so the staff looked tired - but they still marched on.
The BBQ pulled-chicken sandwich I ordered, was one of the best I've had, North of Tennessee. My groups shared an artichoke, everyone enjoyed their entreés, and my friends devoured their dessert.  There are a few other items on their menu, which I would like to try, so we'll definitely be going back.
The old days are gone....
While the owners have tried to recreate an old favorite, execution isn't there. The salad bar is a simple array of ingredients found at your local grocery store's do it yourself - minus some items. Not worth it.
The restaurant was snugly fit into a former retailer's space on the second floor of Northbrook Court Mall, and doesn't have much soundproofing, so with minimal traffic the place gets a bit loud.
The hailed Motherload burger was OK, appetizer of fried zucchini came out with mushrooms that were over-cooked & dry (we requested they leave those out, but who listens anymore?), and the chicken was nothing special.
It may be OK Â for a mall restaurant, but I won't be returning based on the food or ambience.
My wife and I ate here and then had the McGurgles afterward while watching a movie. Â No good.
The ambience is cheesy, the waiters push the $3.99/single trip salad bar too hard and the sandwiches were LAME.
My wife had a chicken wrap that was incredibly plain. Â No flavor, fell apart with too much moisture.
I figured that fajitas would be safe but even they were disappointing. Â There was little to no good flavor even when I loaded on the "salsa" they provided.
We will NOT be back. Â I understand that it was a Northbrook institution a long time ago but things must've gone downhill hard.
Had the mozzarella stick appetizer, appetizing indeed. Â Instead of breading, egg roll skins were used. Â Pretty yummy. Â Onto the main course. Â The Motherlode. Â Top your burger anyway you please. Â It wasn't a good lode. Â Disguising burgers with toppings is a way to cover up the bland taste of your burger. Â The ironic part is that even with all the toppings, I could still taste the blandness of my burger. Â The only saving grace was that you could chose which type of bun you wanted, and they had multigrain, which was fantastic. Â I went to this restaurant having high hopes, but was greatly disappointed. Not to mention, the plates that were given to us were dirty. We asked for another one, and that was one dirty as well. So, if you are in the mood for creative mozarella sticks and a bland burger with TONS of topping options on dirty plates, take a gander at The Claim Company.
