Not the best
Came here for some awesome greasy hangover food since it's so close to my house. We sat at the bar which was a cool experience, except for the waitress rolling her silverware in front of me, literally, the whole time. I get ya gotta do your side work, but take it elsewhere lady.
I ordered a tex mix chicken panini which had cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and chicken. It was decent. Huge portion. The side salad it came with was all iceberg with a few other vegetables. It did not look or taste very good. The fresh fruit was good but grapes were uber sour. Coleslaw was good. My bf ordered some kind of skillet with ham, bacon, and sausage. He said it was just ok.
The pancakes looked so so good. We both immediately regretted not getting them.
I'm sure we'll be back.
Hollywood is the closest late-night diner to my house in Bucktown. Â My wife and I have been twice; both times, we said something that roughly translates to "yeah, that was decent, nothing special; in a pinch, they're open, the pancakes and skillets are good, and the prices are pretty cheap." Â It's perfect for my visits downtown when I come back via the L and walk up Ashland to stop off for a late-night meal, but nothing that comes close to, say, The Bongo Room.
