The…read morewebsite and doors say they open at 11:30 and the doors were locked and lights off so we decided to go get coffee next door in hopes that they opened at noon. At noon, they unlocked the door, no hello or greeting - just straight behind the counter and to the kitchen for us to order at the screen in the front. The screen was filthy (they just opened as a reminder) we couldn't tell what was in the 'combo' and then when we were going to order the boneless chicken wings, as they were gluten free when we ordered them years ago, I asked one of the women in the kitchen to confirm. She said no, I don't think so. And walked away without any further guidance for what I might be able to eat on their menu. It's not a preference, it's a dietary restriction - so we walked out from there. They clearly had no interest in helping me or our business. A real disappointment after driving 30 minutes out of our way to try and enjoy it.

I am so glad not to have read the negative review of the Gather Half Chicken before our visit as my experience was amazing. The breast is seared and juicy and the thigh is Southern fried both without bones on a bed of polenta with crispy onion. All was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. As my wife does not eat mushrooms, she opted for the hamburger. After moving the mushroom slices to the side she made me share the chicken with her. Our son enjoyed his Fusilli as well. We were about to go elsewhere for ice cream, but the coconut and lime semifreddo caught my eye and it was a knockout! shared by all.

Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

This was my second time trying Cluck'n Wings, a newer spot in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square. I love…read morewings, and since they serve halal food, I wanted to check them out. I'm not halal myself, but I appreciate supporting diverse dining options. Ordering online was easy though pricy--my four buffalo wings with ranch were ready in 15 minutes and were just over $12 (before tip). Pickup was simple, the staff were friendly, and I even got a bonus fifth wing. There were a few tables inside, but I chose takeout. The wings were jumbo and meaty, but the heavy breading and sauciness made them soggy rather than crispy--just not my preference. If you like thick, saucy breading, you might enjoy them. The first time I placed a takeout order, I unfortunately got sick afterward. The owner reached out and genuinely wanted to make things right, which I appreciated. That's why I decided to give them another chance on my own time and dime and order the same exact meal--I believe a business should be judged by how it handles situations, not just by one-off issues, which can happen anywhere. This time, I didn't get sick! While the wings weren't my style, Cluck'n Wings has friendly service, easy ordering, and fills a niche. If you're looking for halal wings with a saucier, breaded style, it's worth a try.

All the food was delicious and brought out quick. Loved the Mac and cheese squares! The drinks were well balanced and I had a delightful Bloody Mary! All the portions were generous and well worth the price. Excellent quality all around! The location is amazing in the heart of Ravenswood.

Anyhoo... onto the lightly spicy fried chicken and honey butter biscuits. I catered 50 pieces dark meat and 30 biscuits and they were hit and still as delicious as I've ever had them, crispy, flavorful... all for $113. Only complaint is they said my order would take 25 min and it took close to 40 min. They've always underestimated the time it took to make my larger order fresh fried, but I learned to adjust my expectations and plan for delays when I order from them.

It was three of us meeting for dinner and some drinks. My friend had white wine, hubby had an Espressotini, and I the watermelon-cucumber marg. We ordered the cauliflower ceviche, the Cauliflower wings, and the Brussels sprouts as appetizer. Then as an entree, my friend had the Jalisco Burger, hubby had the Salmon, and I a Salmon Caesar Salad. I personally loved the salad and the appetizers were great. Everyone else ate ALL their food, so I assume they also enjoyed it. The location was actually having an 80s night and there was a Dj and space for dancing. There were some people there dress for the themed night and it was just a great vibe. Talking with our friend and eating made us lose track of time and then it was time to leave but before we did, we met one of the owners who actually recommended I come by and visit. (Shoutout to Marcos ) He is the most warm and sunny person, and he was so grateful we actually came by. We had a shot and honestly I'd come back because of him. He told us a little bit about him, his family and about the restaurant backstory. I truly recommend you coming here, you will have a great time. Oh, and almost forgot, they have outside sitting, so you know it will be a great time when you just want to have an outside patio vibe with friends and some drinks. P.s. As you can tell, there are only two pictures. I was so, involved in the moment with my friend's stories and then the appetizers came and nothing else mattered. We all lost track of time and just enjoyed the vibe, the beautiful night, and time with friends, drinks, and food. Oh and 80s music.

It was served with aioli and a healing serving of chips. I've never eaten seafood and been vegetarian for over 30 years, but my boyfriend had a taste and also thought it was good and said they got the right flavor profile. He got the burger and tots and said both were very good. I'll definitely be back!

We stopped by here on a Friday for dinner around 6:30/7pm (4 people total)…read more The restaurant is a good size - we didn't have to wait for a table and didn't have a reservation. Loved how cute it was inside and that they had music but it wasn't loud. FYI the style here is self service; you'll order at the counter and take a number back to your table to wait for your food. They have a paper menu but note that there are some pizzas listed up at the counter that look to be seasonal/rotating. If you're ordering for pickup or ordering ahead, maybe consider calling ahead to make sure you know all of the options. LOVE how they have both single slice or whole pie options. We got truffle fries, the mushroom pizza, and the bbq chicken pizza. FYI the pizzas took ~30 minutes to come out while people ordering by the slice obviously got their food a lot sooner. Next time we'll probably come and just order by the slice. The pizza was DELICIOUS!! It came out hot and with a very CRISPY bottom! The mushroom was my favorite but honestly really liked both. Jimmy's was both generous with toppings while not over saucing the BBQ chicken (which made it both easier to eat and kept it from getting soggy). So glad we decided to try out a new place!! Jimmy's is now in my top 3 favorite pizza spots in Chicago and we'll definitely be back!

I have a cousin who grew up within walking distance of Budacki's so it's a huge part of his life story, even after he moved to the suburbs. That said, he tends to take me or my older brother here whenever either one of us come to visit from Texas. It's safe to say that we share his immense love for the nearly 50-year-old hole in the wall. Up until Thursday, I had two visits. For my most recent one, I ordered the Letter A , or the red hot combo. Aside from a pair of what I believe are the best hot dogs in the world, the meal comes with fresh cut fries and a drink. I confess that I didn't get a good look on the price, but I can assure you that you get your money's worth. Each of the red hots was made fresh and specific to my request. I wanted them dragged through the garden, and the kitchen staff delivered. What I sank my teeth into are a Vienna beef decorated with a tomato, sport peppers, a pickle spear, onions and hints of salt and mustard. All of which are held together in a soft bun. The dogs were paired with a delicious, abundant amount of fries. They were so good that I finished them even before the tube steaks themselves. In Chicago, it's nearly a law to keep your red hots free of ketchup and on your fries, but I ate my long taters without ketchup. That's how tasty they were. Before I forget, I should mention that there's an outdoor dining area for customers to enjoy their food at. The neighborhood Budacki's is in has gone through several changes, but the restaurant has withstood the test of time. Sadly, however, the heir to the business, Jae Lee, recently passed away. And this review is dedicated to his memory.
