    Really nice since it's only 12 and empty
    Damian P.

    I have to admit that I thought it was a cheap imitation of Hooters, until I tasted the exact recipe. Asking more questions I found out that it's the offspring satellite of Hooters and that although the concept is the same, the difference you will see is that there are no Hooters girls per say. Which is okay for me, as I am here for the beer and chicken wings. I was quite surprised that it was empty and I love the fact that the girls and guys are very accommodating and quite polite when you ask them for extras. I did like the fact that the recipe is exactly the same, so no hybrid taste there, nor experimenting with the original. The colors in the joint are exact but something is definitely different coming here, and that's not a bad thing. I rather enjoy a little bit of mystery. And please be mindful that you should pick up after yourself once you are done, of course they will do it for you but tip that way at least they know they are being appreciated. It seems no frills so go ahead and take your tray up to the receptacle and just show politeness, as I stated before this joint is not that big and just a satellite of the Hooters corporation. Did I tell you to try the fried pickles, please do and tell me what you think. And again I must say I am disappointed reading so much negativity on the staff, as the day I went in they were quite accommodating and very helpful with suggestions. They customer service actually put them to a 5 star and I can appreciate great service.

    So much foam!!!! Lol

    Waited 19 minutes at the bar before anyone even looked my way. No one even asked would i like to order. Just kept bagging orders. No one knew how to pour a modelo on draft. Pretty sure this will be my last time coming to this hoots location. Had to come back to say one more thing... if you as a bartender poured a beer and made too much... why would you put the extra in a cup with a lid and then when your customer pays for another beer give them that beer your mistakenly over poured into a plastic cup that sat off to the side for a long time!!! Yeahhh no that sealed the deal. No longer a hoots consumer!

    Not going to lie, we were pretty disappointed in trying this place for the first time. We ordered the 20 piece boneless wings for $17.99, and added the make a meal for $3.29. The fries were good, ranch was good. We chose the bbq flavor and also medium for the wings. They put a lot of bbq, which was good, but the medium wings hardly had any sauce. Also, the wings on top were bigger but on the bottom of the plate had very small wings. They were also cooked a little too long, which made some hard to chew. One wing had a weird bone or hard texture (picture will be attached). I wanted to like this place so bad because I love wings and their hooters medium sauce is amazing. :-(

    The menu.

    Y'all Hoots is like if Hooters and Wingstop had a love child. It's adorable and I love it. So what's the difference between Hoots and Hooters? Well, for one, the menu is downsized. No more burgers, grilled cheese, and you only have the garden salad with the option of ranch or blue cheese. But they do give you the option to make your wings, buffalo chicken sandwich, ect. a meal for $2.99 more - sweet! They also brought back the 5 wing option. Honey thai sauce made the cut on sauces you can choose from, which I was thrilled about because I'll gladly use that on my salad in place of ranch (don't knock it until you try it!). The bar is downsized as well, you're give the option between 3 draft beers, a few bottles, a margarita, and red sangria. Another notable change is the uniform - the white tank and orange shorts are replaced by khakis and orange tees. So, overall, the ambiance is fast-casual. Great for a lunch break or just taking some wings home with you. Hoots is a new concept that i can see catching on! Give it a try, you won't regret it.

    Don't waste time! The servers are rude and know nothing about the menu. Prices are jacked up for no reason. Food took a long time and was cold.

    Got this delicious food here along with their Homemade sangria and it was delicious.

    Workers apparently don't like to work. They stop taking orders by 9pm when they close at 10pm. So why stay open until 10pm??

    While the food is good, the wait times(even when ordering ahead) can be a bit too extensive even when there are very few guests.

I try to explore two or three different neighborhoods per week, and today traveled to Little Village (from my place in Edgewater). This was my first trip to el barrio since the last time I had just duty at 26th and Cal, about four years ago. By 11 a.m. or so I was hungry and ended up visiting El Tecolote. As soon as I walked in I realized I'd been there before, back in 2018 or 2019 when I was Uber-driving between jobs. That's so long ago that I don't have specific memories. I just remember that I liked El Tecolote a lot! Today I liked it a lot, too! I had juevos rancheros, which were wonderful. The dish consisted of sunny-side up eggs that were nice and runny, just the way I like them. In my experience, restaurants tend to overcook sunny-side up eggs these days. Is that due to people getting sick and filing lawsuits? I don't know, but I hate overcooked eggs, and I thank señora for nice and runny eggs! The red rancheros sauce was delicious and had lots of bell peppers. Also a side of rice and creamy refried beans, plus some excellent, hot corn tortillas. And some very tasty tortilla chips. More than anything else, this breakfast tasted like . . . Mexico. I went to Isla Mujeras four times in the 90s, and today's meal brought me back to those happy trips. Two TVs near the front door were tuned to the same news show, and later the same soap opera. Although I don't speak Spanish, I enjoyed checking out the news and could easily figure out the top story, of course. And I was able to see that Spanish-language soap operas have the same over-acting as their English counterparts! Muchos gracias!

Walking into the Chicago Grand Avenue Joe's was like walking into a full elevator - difficult, but not impossible. This place was jammed, on an early Thursday night.

I know "Joe's" menu very well and I ordered: * Their Wedge salad with a ton of accoutrements and asked for this salad to be chopped and tossed. It was excellent * Their fried calamari with two dipping sauces which was also very good and filling. * A light pale pilsner that (again) was very good paired excellently with my order. I guess what I'm trying to say is - this place earned such a stellar reputation that being in this sea of happy diners is well deserved. The staff was accommodating, the ambience was wild and wooly and the people were enjoying themselves, to no end, me included.
