Gilhooley's Grand Saloon

I love carrot cake, and Gilhooley's is the best carrot cake I've had in Chicago and 'burbs. I am not kidding. (I saw another reviewer say that their carrot cake was frozen but I don't care!)

The rest of the food was fine--I had a chicken sandwich on a surprise pretzel bun (yum!) with fresh fruit (actually, the fruit was really good for some reason) and the service was decent, but the carrot cake is why this place is getting four stars.

I am working around there now, but Gilhooley's doesn't open until 3 p.m., so luckily, since I'm usually done early, I won't be tempted too often to go there for carrot cake.

this place is just pathetic. the only reason why i've given it 2 stars is because the servers are very nice and friendly.  the menu is about the size of a kleenex tissue. and what little food they do have, it's mediocre at best. i ordered a brownie for dessert and they didnt have the ice cream to put ontop. my sister ordered the carrot cake and they literally told her that it was in the freezer and it may not taste so great so they let my sister have it for free. the ravioli has no flavor what so ever. the service is beyond slow. if you plan on eating there next month, i suggest you put your order in now.. seriously, they're THAT slow. i dont think i'll ever visit there again.

this place would be alright if the food wasn't bad. i was hangin with some of my SXU classmates and we ordered nachos and corndogs.. nachos were ok, but the corndogs were served warm on the outside cold on the inside. despite the fact that we could pretty much eat anything at that point of the night, it wasn't very good. stick to the drinks if you ever pay this place a visit
