Old Chicago

Came to Old Chicago @ Shadowlake for lunch during my weekly lunch date with one of the children.  Overall, happy with the level of service(drinks were never empty) and food.

I got the half Calzone and Soup and my son got the kids burger and fries.    The soup(I think it was a green chile) was great.  My Meat-Me calzone was also pretty good.  The flavor was great, my only complaint would be seemed a little more doughy then I remember them on the bottom.  My son's burger was average, but he loved his fries.

If it wasn't lunch I would probably have hit up their huge beer selection.   Maybe next time.

I used to be a permanent fixture at this Old Chicago location until recently.  On the past few visits something has drastically changed with the pizza.  The taste that I've grown to expect has morphed into to something awful.  Even the presentation is different as they have scaled back on the toppings but ramp too far up on the cheese.  Perhaps someone in the kitchen believe if they pile on the cheese the one pepperoni or sausage crumble would be overlooked.  I have officially taken Old Chicago off of a pedestal and now look elsewhere to satisfy my pizza fix.  Or I stick to the chicken caesar salad which is plain but incredible .

Sanitized, faux-rustic chain restaurant atmosphere. Really uninteresting food. Surprisingly drab pizza for a place that calls itself a pizza joint.
