    Vienna Dog.
    Derek W.

    Tasty Chicago classic Hot Dog. Friendly and efficient staff! About $8 is not too bad of a price.

    Top-shelf view of Galileo.

    A quiet place to sit down awaits, should you have the persistence to seek this place out. Very low key, and out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the very busy Terminal 1 of this airport. The place has about 4 beers on-tap: G.I. IPA, BL, Sam, and Stella. I went the cocktail route during my visit, working with the bartender (JB) to create a Paloma with what they had on hand (i.e. no Squirt). There are ~25 bottles comprising their top-shelf, so there a suitable number of options available. All in all, a nice place to kill some time before progressing onward from O'Hare.

    This is the whole bar.

    Atmosphere is cold. Really cold. The place is basically an airline ticket counter with a big screen TV, about 20 liquor bottles, and 3 beers on tap. To their credit, 2 are fit for men to drink, and the other is Bud Light. They had NHL on when I was there, so it wasn't all a loss, but it's not a comfortable place to grab a drink and have a chat. I would never go there intentionally again.

    A Chicago Dog...breakfast before my plane departs the windy city...!!!

    Casual, watering hole for relaxing after a long day.

    But it's a great place to have a drink before your flight if you're going out of gates B15 or higher.

    I had a great experience at this restaurant! Especially considering other airport food I've had…read morethis was delicious! I had the fish sandwich which was a good size, super crisp and flakey, and the toppings (gribiche aioli, pickles, onion, arugula) gave it some awesome acid and freshness to brighten it up. I chose to get fries on the side which was an up charge from kettle chips but they came out hot and fresh. Honestly for the quality of food and venue provided I definitely think it is a good value - not only by airport standards. Thomas was my server and he did a phenomenal job! There was an option to use a QR code menu but he saw me struggling with it and gave me a physical menu. He gave me good recommendations and also helped me move tables so I could charge my laptop.

    $15 Paloma, was alright. $10 soup, also fine but I wouldn't…read moreorder again. One piece of sausage and felt like from a can. $18 wings, crispy and salty. At first it was good, but the bones kept breaking. I have not had that issue before with wings before. It was weird. The dill sauce with it was good. Service was solid! I was sat and served everything within 15 minutes. And got attention given how busy it was. I am impressed with how quick they are since it's an airport. Overall nice place to chill and grab a beer during a layover but not the spot to eat food or cocktail. At least not for these prices. I know I would get a better experience at the Chillis down the hall.

    We had the opportunity to visit the Flagship Lounge in terminal 3 at O'Hare before a long flight…read more To enter, you must enter through their security where you need to show either a Business Class for First Class boarding pass - without one you can't get in. When you get past the security, you enter a good sized lounge with plenty of food and drinks. Interestingly, every food item is labeled and the labels let you know about any allergens in that item. They also have a stocked bar with various liquors as well as beer and wine. Everything was good. I tried everything I could so the list is long and, frankly, I don't remember everything I ate. All I can tell you is the food was very good. There is plenty of seating, so unless they have a lot of flights going on, you can find a seat. The seating was comfortable and we took a table by the food which we frequented... The wine selection was much better than I expected and I enjoyed some Pinot Noir. This was a great experience - one we don't take advantage of often. So, what I can tell you is it is much, much better than sitting at the gate. :)

    Not bad. Probably a 3.5. If I had to rate the flagships I've been do I would these from top to…read morebottom: JFK Soho Lounge DFW Flagship LAX Flagship Chicago Flagship Heathrow So, near the bottom of those but certainly better than all the basic Admiral Lounges and their equivalents on other carriers, and much better than Amex Centurions which are overcrowded, style over substance, and often gated by waitlists. This location is spacious like the other flagships but often has a bunch of people in it. The reason Soho rates above the rest is they gate access to One World Emerald customers only so it's a much more relaxed and considered space. This one allows in Sapphire as well so there's a bunch of bodies in here.
