I remember there was a huge hype on "Shake Shack" when they opened this Mag. Mile location back in…read more2014. I also vividly remember the company's IPO in 2015. Well, I enjoy going to Shake Shack because the restaurant is usually clean, food tastes fresh, and entire family can find something they like to eat (my kids certainly love their extravagant milkshakes). My mom and I didn't originally plan on coming here, but we didn't see a crowd inside the restaurant and we were looking for a quick spot for lunch on a rainy Sunday. The ordering pad was easy to use; I also was able to apply the coupon I wanted to use. It was my first time I tried the Chicken Shack. I liked there were multiple pickles placed inside the sandwich to balance this crispy, thick, showstopper fried chicken breast. The app. reminded me of the promotion so I was able to take advantage of it. I ordered my mom a shroom burger. For those who don't know what that is, is a vegetarian sandwich with fried stuffed portobello mushroom with a plenty amount of cheese. Therefore, it can be messy to eat. Nevertheless, this is my go-to choice since I don't see any other fast food restaurant chains offer this. Service was relatively quick for a busy Sunday. Most importantly, we were able to fetch a table without any difficulty. I occasionally receive promotional offers from their app., so I will definitely be patronizing "Shake Shack" whenever I encounter one.

Kari's Rating 8/10…read more As someone who is always at This Portillo is considering it's very close to where I live, it was decently busy this Sunday evening around 7:30. There was a large cluster of individuals in line to use the kiosk because they seem too scared to talk to a human-even though there's absolutely no line to talk to the women up front. It's kind of sad realize how antisocial people have become but also, I know it's beneficial to use a kiosk for the company because they're getting really fast data results, people tend to add more of their order because they're not being watched and they're able to do it in an antisocial way. Honestly, it's actually really fascinating. This place is always busy so as normal, we waited for about 20 minutes. It's OK, it looked like they were a little bit short staffed as 95% of the population of the restaurant was waiting in line. It's usually backed up at this location as it's super busy and very popular but tonight, I can't tell if it's because they're just backed up, or if no one can hear the number because they use those funny one liners after each number which makes it harder to hear the actual number called. I think this location-as it is mostly a tourist spot-is usually very clean. Tonight, it was not. I think it might've just been that one table around us, but whoever sat there before the fries were all strewn about and the sauces were all over the table cloths and there were napkins everywhere, and it just looked kind of bad. Since it's not normally like this, I figured it just was a one off or it might've just happened.

Yes, definitely worth a stop here when in Chicago.

We came in for a late lunch so luckily we had no issue getting a table but the place was still busy. I will say the staff once we walked in were so friendly and that was great. Once seated I ordered myself a drink and went with something I don't normally get and that being a Lemon Drop Martini and let me tell you this was one of the best Lemon Drop Martini's I have ever had. So go I ended up ordering another as lunch when one. For our lunch we order of course a Deep Dish Pizza with Onions, Mushrooms, and Sausage. We also got an Italian Beef and added cheese and Giardiniera. Our Italian Beef came out first and the bread was great. It was very fresh crusty on the outside but soft inside. The Giardiniera added made for a great bust of flavor and it also came with Au Jus on the side for dipping so you can make it as wet as you wanted and that strong bread really helped with that too. The Chicago Deep Dish Pizza was also great. So, so cheesy and that sausage was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Clearly made in house. So if your looks for a great restaurant with an amazing staff, great food and drink and right off the river then Bongiorno's Italian Deli & Pizzeria is the place to stop in at.

Solid restaurant but not my cup of tea…read more Service was active. After we came in there was a rush of customers. Our servers were still engaged with us even though there were many customers to attend to. They also helped answer any questions we had. Restaurant was clean and well organized. Music wasn't on loud and we felt comfortable in our seats. The food was alright. Upon tasting, we could tell everything was well made (fresh tastings, balanced flavors and fluffy bread) but it wasn't exactly outstanding or that much better than average. Maybe if we tried something else we'd enjoy it that much more but we don't know. Also something that was just a slight inconvenience was that the bathroom was on the second floor.

Now I'm in Las Vegas and they're still not there, unfortunately. But I was so ecstatic to see that this was here in Chicago! If you like hot sauce and different types of salsa's & sauces, this is the place for you for sure!! Peri peri hot sauce is delicious and from their store in particular, it's the best!! I've gotten some of their sauce from the grocery store before, trust me that's not what you want. You want to try this!! I recommend getting the grilled chicken breast with on the bone with skin! Any chicken dish is delicious though with that hot sauce! I like to get it with "hot" when I order it, and then I dunk it in the medium with a touch of the lemon & herb.. Thank me later!

Horrible food at this location. They are spoiling the name…read moreof Nandos Bunch of kids running this place. Neither they had no idea about the whats in each dish, neither they know if substitution can be made, WORST neighbor they know how to cook. Any question asked them was let me check and 3-4 staff members had to consult. Food that came in was not as per Nando's standard. Garlic bread was not crunchy, crispy, very little garlic, Burger seemed not fully cooked. Bowls were not that great either. 5 of us spent $100 but it was bad. We have been to one in Oakbrook multiple times and food is very good. I personally have not been to one near millennium park but heard thats good too. But this was bad.

I loved my burger on sourdough and our server "Shoe" was excellent! Very attentive and friendly despite the obnoxiousness that they're known for.

Burgers and chicken tenders/sandwiches is basically it (a few salads) but if you like a good burger you should like it. And they sang to me on my birthday and comped the tiny sundae pictured.

My husband and I started with the 'Street Corn Dip' which was elote-style corn, jalapeño, fresno chiles, cotija cheese, parmesan, lime, and cilantro. It was creamy and fresh. I honestly could just come here for this dip. I think husband got the 'Hell's Kitchen Burger' which was pepper jack, applewood-smoked bacon, spicy aioli, tomato-jalapeño jam, mashed avocado. I am not 100% on this but whatever he got, he loved. We shared the 'Truffle Fries' which were DELICOUS. I ordered the 'Beer Cheese Soup' and a 'Chicago Hot Dog'. They were both really good. You can't go wrong with a Chicago Hot Dog. For our ending of the meal, my husband got the 'Cookie Skillet' which was warm chocolate chip cookie, chocolate syrup, english toffee sauce, and vanilla bean ice cream. I got the 'Oreo Creme Brulee Shake' which was exactly how it sounds and so different than anything I ever had before. The service was very friendly and a good pace. We were in no rush, our flight was several hours delayed.

I knew my shake was over the top so I should've expected really bold flavoring, it was just a bit too intense for me. I also don't recall being able to choose a size and this amount of shake is wayyy too much even for two people. My boyfriend and I shared and still couldn't finish it. The hot dogs I guess should be consumed there and in the moment. Ours were wrapped all of 5 minutes and the bread was already soggy. The chili dog was underwhelming. The little peppers they sell on the side and in some Dawgs are fire!!!! Best thing I had was their onion rings. Super good rings here. Crunchy and tasty. They come with a sauce. I don't remember which one I got but it tasted like raw seasoning. Also wayyyy too heavy. I was super bloated after this meal. Def a one n done for me. I enjoyed it but wouldn't go back.
