Yesterday, I was at O'Hare Terminal 5 waiting for my flight to board when a delay happened…read more No biggie as this is what happens in today's world. So, I'm walking around, and being a bit hungry I saw The Hampton Social satellite restaurant and decided to give this famous restaurant a try; and it was packed, which was a good sign. I ordered their fried chicken sandwich with Cole slaw. I got a stool at the bar and waited for my number to be called. Within 10 minutes "5120" was hollered "your order is ready for pick up". I grabbed my bag, walked over to my stool and lo and behold I got a very salty smash burger with fries? What the hell? I didn't have the time to replace this mishap, so I ate as much my palette could handle. I was disappointed and salted out. I'm sure their regular stand alone restaurant is good and something like this would never happen.......but there I was very dejected!

After my flight was delayed 2 hours, I decided I needed something to eat…read more The Hampton Social was close to my gate and they had seats open and available. I decided on the breakfast sandwich and an espresso martini. The breakfast sandwich was delicious! It came with scrambled eggs, cheddar and bacon on a toasted buttery croissant. It was absolutely delicious! It also came with a side of fruit (pineapple, honeydew and grapes), which was very fresh and also delicious. To drink I had an espresso martini. It was very good. My server and bartender was Sean. He was attentive and checked in on me often. I also found out they offer their cocktails to go. This is good to know if you're trying to catch your flight. For the breakfast sandwich and espresso martini it cost about $40 including tax. I found that to be very reasonable considering it's at the airport.

They are partnered with Crust Brewery which has a barcode on each table and you can order the pizza online and they bring it right to you. I feel like Crust Brwery should be another review but all i can say is their pizza was really good and definitely ordering that again! The drinks at Petes Tiki Tiki however are in this cute Tiki cups and it is worth your money because they dont skimp on the liquor. So definitely worth the price you pay. Service is great you can either go up to the bar to order but therr are also people going around to check on your table. Definitely coming back! Hapoy drinking!!!

I love Bub City! This place is honestly awesome. I love that they play country music at times…read more There aren't many places that play country music in the Chicagoland area as far as I know. Also, there's always live music and the vibes are great. I also really enjoy how they decorate, especially during the Christmas season. It's always so festive and bright inside. The food is pretty good too. It's a better version of "bar food" but I haven't ever had anything that I didn't like here. Such a fun place. Highly recommend

I came in for an early lunch, so it was kind of quiet. Coming after my meeting to recover from the business part of my trip, I had a couple of rounds of their Hop City beer, along a pulled pork sandwich and waffle fries. The meat was one seasoned and the barbecue sauce those sweet, had enough of a spicy kick. I'm leaving at three stars, not because it was bad, but rather tagging it with a placeholder list. I will definitely stop byI if I were in the area, certainly not or during a sporting event. I do believe they also have live music in the evenings.

Parking isn't the best. Good if you like beer or anything in a can! Sure there is a pool table and some games. Cool decor. Best part of this place was the bartenders ability to make time to check on people even. Alexis truly was outstanding as a bartender especially given she was the only one. The bar is a local bar, dive like and patrons aren't very welcoming. Everyone knows each other and stick to their clique.

A short fuse and a close call…read more After Emily and I checked in to our hotel room, we wanted to stretch our legs and see if there was anything nearby for some beer and some food. Turns out, Short Fuse was right up the road and a 5 minute walk got us there. For a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but not dead, so we got seated right away. We ordered some beer and took a look at the menu. While nothing really struck our fancy, our waitress made a comment that if we did want any food, it might be slim pickings as they were running out of stuff. Turns out, this day was the last day they were open. Talk about timing! After she mentioned that, I started to notice that people were buying bar signs and various other things. Emily started off with a Guava Gose and I grabbed a Krankshaft kolsch. We sampled each other beers and we both really liked what the other ordered. I don't really know what a gose is but, damn, was that good! I've had Krankshaft before so I knew what I was getting myself in to. We ended up ordering a second round of the same beers and let each other sample the other's beer a little more liberally this time. While we were kind of hungry, nothing on the menu really struck our fancy, especially considering they might've been out of it. Room service took care of those hunger pangs later after a few more beers in the hotel bar. Online reviews for this place seemed hit and miss but I really enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the place. We did contemplate buying some bar signs on our way out but declined as we don't know what we would exactly do with them. It sucks to see a small business close but they did say they may try to open up a new place in a new location in the future.

Food taste really good here…read more The down side is some of the things we wanted in the beginnning they didn't have like pizza dough and they did not have the UFO bun to complete the burger. Anyway we ended up getting something else. We had steak taco salad, steak, wrap, and kids cheeseburger. The food taste GOOD. The the steak was seasoned well it was not tough very tender. I would definitely recommend. They have parking on the side of the building. They also have an outdoor eating area

Inside was pretty empty, we were there on a Thurs night and it seemed like mostly a few other corporate groups and regulars. There's a room with slot machines which I thought was interesting. Quick service, large portions and food came out fast. 4/5 chicken caldo soup - spicy but really flavorful 2/5 wings - dry rub was a bit too dry for their liking 3/5 friend got a salad with poppyseed dressing but didn't end up using the dressing as it had a bit of a strange consistency for her. She said it was okay tho. 3.5/5 ultimate grilled cheese, added a burger patty medium and red onions. The burger was good but cooked more medium well. Waffle fries generous but didn't care much for the ranch. 3.5/5 jambalaya - friends enjoyed it and the serving was large. 4/5 bread pudding was tasty and so was the ice cream. Service was great and it was just what we needed to get us some extra food. Menu was extensive and she indicated all was made fresh. Not necessarily food I'd crave & seek out if I was back in the area but it was pleasantly surprising and exactly what we needed!

Even with a lot of toppings. The beer was ice cold. The only kinda meh was the appetizer pretzel. The beer cheese was kind of like a liquid nacho cheese with beer mixed into it that made for an off putting texture and the mustard sauce was just Dijon mustard squirted into a cup. Needed to be thinned out a bit. Over all 8.5/10. The pizza made up for the appetizer meh-ness

Parking in the area…read moreis easy (well provided you make the correct turn into the correct section of the parking garage). The building itself doesn't look that big from the outside, but once you are the venue is really large. Upon walking in they had a section for merchandise sales, a couple of bar area, a lot of standing tables (no seats anywhere), a main floor in front of the stage, as well as an upstairs. The upstairs area looks to be a great place to enjoy any concert, but that's why it's reserved for VIPs. They did a great job of transforming the place for the show. Lots of fun lighting special effects, fun t-shirt gun giveaways, dry ice floating bubbles - which I never saw before in any show, and of course the balloon drop at the end. Also the music was loud, but you could still talk to the person next to you - well loudly of course, but I didn't feel like I had to shout. I had only a sip of a margarita which was a bit sweet for my liking, but overall a great place to catch a show and do something out of the ordinary!
