Ate here last night and had the turkey salad, which was fabulous. I love this place on a weeknight before a show, especially since it was all rainy. It made it more cozy. Anyway, everything is recommended there, and veggies are always a side choice if you are shying away from the potatoes like I am.

Ate at the Wicker Park location on Sunday…This place is the Joy Yees of sandwich shops. I was presently surprised by the whole place. Service was friendly, beers amazing and had great (almost) philly pretzels. I will say this place can be overwhelming on the sandwich combos but they give you plenty of suggestions if it proves to be too much.

This location is way less crazy than Chinatown’s. I’m really never disappointed here. I keep forgetting their soups can feed like 4 people tho. The tapioca freezes are amazing. They beat anything I’ve had out in Seattle.

This is the first Thai restaurant I ever ate at, and still has the best spring rolls and gyoza I’ve ever had in a Thai place. The same people also own Singha, which is also great.

This place is ok, but it doesn’t hold a candle to u Stanley’s Chirpin’ Chicken.

As far as steakhouse chains go, this isn’t too bad. Pushed to the wire I would probably rather eat at Smith and Wollensky’s, but the veggie sides and salads are really well done.

I will always give Jimmy John’s 5 stars because I went to school in Charleston, IL. Turn in next week when I give LaBamba’s 5 stars even though there are waaaaaaaaaaay better Mexican places in Chicago. I’m a fool for nostalgia.

This Lebanese restraunt knocks the pants off of Noon o Kabob which is right over the brown line about a block down. They give you crazy amounts of food for cheap! We had 4 entrees and it worked out to be about $15 per person. It’s BYOB w/a $2 corkage fee.

Buffet heaven. However, no butter chicken on the lunch buffet on the weekends. However, it’s all samosas all the time otherwise. The only thing that I’ve ever been dissapointed in food wise at this place is the tandoori chicken.

This place is all around great. The margaritas and the food are both worth it. The outdoor patio is also good, but if you go in a group of 5 or more, be prepared to sit in the back by the garbage cans. But you won’t notice the smell if you are drunk.
