Steve's Lounge

  I grew up in the area and remember their Friday nigt fish dinners we would frequently enjoy. I recently went to a birthday party at Steve's and was blown away by the chicken. Ive had White Fence Farm, Dell Rheas,and all of the other highly acclaimed chicken establisments around Chicago.This is by far superior. Worth the trip regardless of the distance.

  Steve's is a hidden jem in the frozen in time neighborhood of Hegwish on Chicago's far southside.  If you need a banquet hall, cateing for a film crew, a place to take a date on Saturday night, or a cozy bar to down a few cool ones with a buddy while watching the Sox game.  Steve's has it all and, it's all class.

  IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE HEADING TO STEVE'S...
  
  The wonderful fried chicken that John Y. talks about in his review is ONLY available on Fridays. Listen, I'm sure it's wonderful. But I went an hour out of my way to check out the fried chicken at this place based on the previous review only to be told that it wasn't available on a Sunday. So, check it out ... but please keep that in mind before making a special trip.

  Hey you guys, If you're lookin' for fried chicken to die for, Steve's Lounge is the place to find it.......and die they do!!!  Not from the chicken of course but from natural causes..... as Steve's is the place to meet up after you bury Uncle Stoshu at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Calumet City. You guessed right, Steve's is a Polish joint!
  
  I'm not kidding ya, Steve's is a well kept secret to most of Chicago!  They have the BEST chicken in town and let nobody tell you different. I drive out there if I'm having a party......and everyone is mystified by what kind of breading is on that chicken!  It's outstandingly delicious!  
  
  We can't possibly survive on just Asian, Low carb, Veggie and down it with a Slim Fast forever!  Where's the kapusta? Well, Steve's has that too! ...and yards of Polish sausage but, it's the chicken folks that keeps 'em coming back. Get it, it's the chicken!
  
  So drive on out to this vintage place, a throw back to the days when Mamie Eisenhower's bangs were still making headlines and when a real live band played at a doings (that's south side lingo for a Big Event).
  
  Call ahead, order it, "the chicken," by the tray....It's cheap too!  Hey you guys!....A reminder, Lent is just around the corner!  Fabulous fish fry every Friday night too! Steve's also serves Italian sausage and mostaccoli but I never had either, I'm telling ya, it's the chicken!
  
  ....Yes Gladys, there is life on Hegeweish!
  
  P.S.  The Chicken is available anytime. This is not a KFC,  you have to order it in advance... It's not a restaurant so to speak, it's a banquet hall.
  Order the chicken anytime.. Just call it in.
