110 kinds of beer but half of them are just normal beers you can find at any local liquor store. Ordered a Chicago style pizza...not quite a deep dish but it tastes ok. I think I'd rather go to BJs. But the beer selections I got were very tasty. The left handed milk was a nice stout. Some other Colorado brews were worth tasting too. Some of the dark beers were surprisingly light but had some nice flavor.
Review Source:I'll skip directly to the service.
The service wasn't too great on my end. It was a friends birthday, and they had 2 tables reserved. On my end of things, the waitress got my drink and food order in, but pretty much ignored me the whole time. My drink was never refilled, and I waited a long time before I was able to ask for my desert that I had previously put in the order. I figured the service would be much better considering the people I was with, knew the people that worked there.
When the waitress did show up to ask people if they needed anything, she would say, "Can I help you with anything else?", and 2 seconds later she would be gone. Not enough time for me to turn around to say anything. If she could at least wait for a response from each individual, I think the miss-communication would not be an issue.
My only suggestion is that the waitress take a little bit of extra time going around asking people. It's a loud environment, so some people may not be able to hear them.
The food was very good. Had no complaints in that arena. I got their special which was a Stromboli and a dessert for 9.99. I got the Philly chicken with fresh cut veggies with it. They provided a lot of veggies with it. More than I expected, which was good.
Other than that, the experience wasn't too bad. Just a minor quip.
Good prices, great food, and a wonderful experience!
I didn't have very many expectations when walking into Old Chicago. With Chicago being one of my favorite food destinations, I figured, I'd give it a try. When stepping into the restaurant, I already knew that pizza would be my meal of choice, of course, I was enticed by a number of other options available on the menu.
Checking out the appetizer menu, I was tempted to try their nachos as I imagined the mozzarella, pepper jack, pepperoni, sausage, and banana peppers piled high on each chip, however, I figured, the Sicilian pepperoni rolls sounded much better. Wow, I was amazing by the flavor that came out of that roll, while not too overpowering, the roll was loaded with pepperoni and for a pepperoni lover, you will fall in love with this roll. Combined with ranch dressing, pepper jack, and mozzarella, the roll was amazing!
For pizzas, they had a few different choices for the types including Chicago-style, Artisan, and NY Thin Crust. I was tempted to try to Thai Pie (Chicago-style), however, something at the last minute pulled me towards the Artisan Chicken Pesto Pizza. I tried making a few pita pizzas in my own in the past and figured I'd give a restaurant a shot at making me one. To my delight, the pizza was exceptional. The crust and the cheese were not one, as it was a layer of bread, sauce, then a layer of cheese, however, when you took that bite, it hardly even mattered. What made this pizza SO good? The combination of the normal chicken pesto pizza in combination with the caramelized onions! The sweetness of the onions really did the trick and put me in heaven!
The restaurant's environment provides a sports bar type environment with at least eight HD televisions that are on different channels for you to enjoy while you done, so it can also be a nice hang out spot after work, even if you are not looking for a meal.
I miss the old building, which has now been replaced by the generic Old Chicago building. Â The food isn't terrible, but nothing that has me wanting to come back either. Â Terrific selection of beers and the beer tour is fun. Â Unfortunately with most of the bottles coming in at over $5, this is not a place you want to try to get drunk at. Â Even the pitchers of domestic beer are over $10.
Review Source:Since my arival to Wichita, I have been looking for that mom and pop hole in the wall that fills our bellies and makes us smile big. Â While Old Chicago is neither a mom and pop or a hole in the wall, it was clean and the menue is varied. Â Picture Applebees meets Pizza Hut and you get the idea. Â I worked at Dominoes Pizza for 8 months, so I do have a good idea what pizza is all about.
While there are several non-pizza items to choose from, I wanted to taste the item that put Old Chicago on the map. Â I bellied up to the bar and ordered The "Old Chicago" personal size Pizza and waited. Â They have a large selection of beer on tap. Â I am not much of a beer drinker, but I do know pizza and beer are the two foundations in the triangle of fun.
The Pizza was very good. Â The crust had a slightly sweet taste to it. Â The cheese was a wonderful gooey mess, but tasted spectacular. Â I liked that the toppings had a more natural made in you kitchen look to them. Â All-in-all, a great experience and some good food.
I'll start out by saying this is a great place to enjoy a wide a selection of beers and to catch some games with some friends. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's just another chain that specializes in pizza, pasta, and sandwiches.
The night started out good with our waitress and she was holding a conversation with our group of 5 people. Then maybe she got a little too comfortable and was probably too ignorant and started with some racial jokes that were funny at first. I'm guessing because we didn't say anything then she just kept going and needless to say, no one was finding it amusing anymore. To give you an idea, I'm Chinese and she called me Jackie Chan and Wong Foo in reference to the movie with Wesley Snipes.
We had nachos and their buffalo chicken rolls for appetizers. The nachos were average and the buffalo chicken was soggy and all you can taste was the wrap. I ordered Chicken Parm and only the spaghetti was enjoyable because the chicken felt like rubber. I'd stay clear of this location if you decide to try it for yourself.
This is crap.
Even for Chicago "pizza," which this is not (whether that Windy City cassoulet is even itself pizza is another discussion), this isn't up to par. The "Chicago-style" is just a run-of-the mill pan pizza like at Pizza Hut. Sauce is run of the mill, toppings are your standard variety sausage blobs and the like, the cheese is salty mozzarella from the bag, the crust may as well come from frozen. It just isn't good.
I should also add that I've eaten here twice and three times at the Old Town location. There appears to be a difference in the service, as in, the Old Town location seems a little more professional and competent. For example, at the eastside location I got laughed at when I asked if they had a white pizza ("WHITE pizza?? What is THAT?"), and another time it was apparent the server had no idea about the beers they serve, unable to distinguish a Belgian-style from an amber ale.
Go to Bartelli's anyway instead for ICT's best REAL pizza, if you care enough to taste anything.
This is one of our favorite family places to go. Â We always have a great time here.
The food here is awesome. Â Although a little pricey, it is well worth the money. Â The pizza is very good, as is the Calzones. Â Because of the size, my wife & I ordered one Calzone today to split and was given 2 small ones instead. Â This was the perfect size, I am stuffed!
The service is uneven. Â As with most places, you have good and bad servers. Â There are a lot of good servers, but if you get there at shift change (4 pm) it does get a little worse. Â Most of the servers want to get out and may abandon you. Â However, the good news is that they do a good job keeping servers from quitting. Â So, if you do find a good server, get their name and ask for them when you go in next time and you will get consistently good service.
In all, this is a great restaurant to go into. Â I highly recommend it.
A really good place to eat at night. Â The atmosphere actually reminded me of the time I went to Chicago, and it was great! The outdoor seating is perfect in the summer and the food is always good. Â I like the fact that they serve a lot of fries with their burgers and that their pizza is freshly made.
Because of the construction on Kellogg it will be hard to get there, but it will be worth it, so go!
I have to admit that I picked this place purely because it was close to my hotel. Â That said it was a good light dinner. Â I had soup and an appetizer and was pleased with both. Â
The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. Â Lastly - give the pomojito a try :) it was yummy!!
That said - the pizza smelled amazing and if I was more hungry I would have ordered that.
I see that this place is listed under pizza, but it's got that and so much more. My absolute favorite here is the Old Chicago Burger and the Stromboli. Their pizza rocks of course. Now, a lot of people come here for the drinks, but since I don't drink so I can't say anything about that. When I was going to Wichita State, we would come here a lot on the weekends to eat and shoot pool. Great place to meet friends and hang out. They've got a west side branch and a downtown branch as well. Oh and their spicy fries and ranch fries are great as well.
Review Source:Great food. Â The best selection of beer in town! Â The World Beer Tour card works in other states as well. Â The cleanliness of the new east location is much great. Â The service is and friendly staff is great. Â The food comes out fast, so space out your order or ask the waiter/waitress to hold your order for a few minutes if you ordering an appitizer to start. Â The patio is nice in the summer when the wind is not too gusty.
