Decided to come to Old Chicago instead of one of our other favorite pizza places. Mostly because we hadn't been for awhile. Service was timely and friendly, even more so than our last visit. My pizza was good, although I would have liked a little more sauce. It was fairly busy, but as I noted, the service was timely. Still on my list of places to eat. read more

Located in a safe part of Olathe, by AMC Old Chicago is a LOT of things but it starts with a good time. Walking in one's eyes are immediately drawn to the HUGE line of taps with all sorts of beers. Of course, right in front of them are some of the nicest bartenders in town. Now, some might be thinking this is a drinking place only, nope its more, much more and the kids will love the huge menu as well. I especially encourage dropping by when your favorite sporting event is on as they have TVs everywhere. I'll admit I've been coming to this restaurant since 2005 or so, I can't remember because it's been so long. That said one of the main features, one that you'll notice in my picture is the beer tour. That's right, drink up to 4 different beers a day which applies to a tour and after 110 beers, you complete a tour and get a cool prize! Moreover, they have holiday mini-tours that last like a month and have interesting limited time brew like (not my favorite) pumpkin brews. Do 10 tours and you get the stein like I have in front of me which allows discounted beer everytime you come in. Please note I don't think it's possible to not like a majority of the beers they have so I think you'll be fine. As for the food, there's something for the kids all the way up to the grandparents. I really like both the Buffalo Chix rolls and pepperoni rolls. Soft and pillowy filled with the meat of your choosing and it's always a hit. I also recommend the Italian nachos as it's a fun spin on the old tried and true nachos. The wings are also great and I like all the flavors unless its hot, I can't do the heat. The spin dip is also a crowd pleaser while the Bavarian pretzel stix are darn good. It's hard to go wrong with any of these and if you need a salad - I recommend the Caesar as it's tasty. As for the main attractions the calzones are dynamite. I have my favorite that I customize with olives, ricotta, onion, sausage and mushrooms which I believe is the best! Regardless of what you chose it will be good. As for pizzas I order mine just like my calzone. It's basically the Chicago 7 without peppers. The dough isn't too soggy or burnt but always comes out just right. Overall, I've never had a bad pie from Old Chicago. As for desserts, I'll leave that to your imagination but I do enjoy a few of them. Overall, Old Chicago is great for the family, a date, friends or whatever excuse you need to get out the house and drop by. The food is great and the beer has more selections that you can hope to go through in a month. Drop on by and enjoy yourself, you deserve it! read more

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom - Pizza Near Me - OLATHE, Kansas

my trip to Old Chicago Olathe had its ups and downs. The good was the beer. The brown lager I described in the video was very pleasant and an easy drinkable Brew. For my meal: The good were the tater tots! I got a decent amount and they were fresh and crispy. I ordered the beer burger medium and it was very close but a little bit on the medium well side on which was fine, but it was overcharred and had a burned flavor through part of it. I typically don't send food back in these types of establishments unless the food is cold, Inedible or missing key components. I've worked in these establishments in the past and sometimes you just know when not to send stuff back If you know what I mean. The bartender was very lackadaisical even though they weren't busy and really just took his sweet ol' time and never came back to ask how everything was or if I needed anything while I was eating. Right when I was about to leave he did ask if I wanted another beer, But that was a little too late. The price for this outing was less than $25 with tip so that's not bad. The restaurant itself didn't smell which is always a + and the bathrooms and dining area were clean read more

Pizza beer, pizza beer. Came here the day after Christmas for a late lunch. I had the veggie pizza that was loaded. Tried a seasonal beer. Service was good. read more

Tried eating here again, another disappointment. I got the lemon butter chicken.... It was NOT good. The chicken was so tiny! The lemon garlic butter was not particularly evident, and even when I asked for extra, the garlic wasn't really obvious. It also had red pepper flakes on it, which was a turn- off for me. I chose that dish because I really can't handle spice, so this was disappointing. The "salad" was supposed to have arugula, tomatoes, Parmesan, and onions. Mine came without onions, and if that cheese was Parmesan then I'm a mountain goat. That was likely Mozzerella, and not particularly good Mozzerella at that. Parmesan has a much more distinct flavor. The potatoes shocked me.... They were plain. Seriously. No salt. No pepper. Just roasted plain potatoes. The bartender was somewhat friendly and the drinks were good and cold, but I just can't get over how good OC food once was and how bad it is now. read more

It seems that this restaurant may be understaffed. The bartender is absent from what I think of as normal bar duties like taking care of customers at the bar. They spent a lot of time running food and bussing dirty dishes. The restrooms are not well kept, which does raise concerns about the cleanliness of other locations in the restaurant which are not customer facing. read more

Went on Sunday after chiefs lost #15 the place was dead ordered our usual pizza. Well this is were everything went sideways. Bartender talking at the other side of the bar ignoring use we finally order get our pizza it's burnt sat under heat lamp to long reorder and it's dough. Still ate it was cooked enough. This is the second time out of many times we've been there. read more

Very disappointed in our experience. The waitress we had was not bad, a little slow getting drinks out when there was NOT a full restaurant. The guy that brought us our food said he would bring us some plates for the pizza then he took the order of the table behind us (we were in the 2nd booth from the door) & then checked on 4 other tables. He NEVER did bring us plates. He left trays on the tables behind us even after walking past them 5 times. When the waitress come back, she said "oh they didn't bring you any plates". several employees sitting at the table right by the door, behind us, were on their phones & making boxes when they could've helped. The chicken on my blackened chicken Caesar salad was dry & overkill on the dressing to compensate for the dryness of the chicken. Sorry I can't tell you anyone's name because NO ONE had on name tags, etc. Ambience was louder than a was expecting for that time of night but it's still Summer so it was overlooked. read more

Went in Wednesday for Happy Hour. The bartender, while nice, had no idea about anything. I asked about the HH beer specials and she indicated they were out of coors light so no domestic happy hour special. What? You allow your bar to run out of the only domestic you offer for HH? Next I asked about the $16.99 deal as seen on TV. She knew nothing of the deal, nor was it on the menu but you can see it online. We had a beer and a margarita and left. Won't be back to this location again. You can't offer miller lite or something else when you failed to keep your bar stocked? read more

Ellie was so nice and helpful! Food was great and she got us out in time for our plans! Thanks girl

Nothing wrong with the gentleman who retrieved my order, but the rolls are overcooked and severely lacking in cheese that normally covers the top of these rolls. Old Chicago already charges a $4 "service fee" on top of every Togo order for this cheap Togo box and I assume their online ordering software. If they can't even keep the food consistent, what's the point of returning? read more

This place is gone so far downhill. On our recent visit, even my kids noted that this is the second time in a row we've been there where service was so bad that the server told us that an item would be comped off of our bill. Then the server came back and said nope, the manager wouldn't allow anything to be comped. My daughter ordered fries with her meal, and it didn't come until after everyone was done. Then they charged us for a full plate of fries instead of the cheaper add-on for kids meal. Our table was incredibly sticky, and the food was really bad. I haven't had the pizza in years, maybe that's the one thing that's good here that's keeping this place afloat? Just not worth going back ever at this point. read more

Food was ok the fries were very salty I had them remake them with no salt. The pizza and chicken was great . Service was good took awhile to get items we asked for such as hot sauce, napkins and a beer. There was music in the background and it was pretty quiet in the restaurant read more

Rude Hostess Argument Over Seating Ruined Our Visit. Went to Old Chicago in Olathe on Dec 26 at 5:30pm with a party of 8. Place was nearly empty, but hostess sat us in a cramped medium booth. We asked waiter to move to a larger empty one, he agreed but hostess argued, insisted we go back, and said she "usually seats 8 there." She was rude and unprofessional despite empty large booths. We almost left but stayed due to time constraints. Waiter was nice and seemed embarrassed. This service isn't acceptable, hope management retrains her or puts her in a non customer service position. read more

Good visit. Must've been short on staff because service was slow. When we did see staff they were very polite and quick to get us what we need. Food: The spinach dip was awful, a nearby table sent theirs back too. Fortunately the burgers and sandwiches were perfect. read more

Today my we went to lunch here and were seated promptly. The restaurant was clean and good temperature and sound level was good in the dining room. The bar seating area was louder so we opted for the dining room booths. Our server was very sweet and gave us good service and was timely in taking our order and the food came out quickly. I had the cauliflower crust pizza which was pretty good. My husband has the Jamaican jerk dry rub bone in wings and a side salad. The side salad was okay according to him and the wings were okay also. So the food in general was just okay but the service was good. read more

Tried this place tonight and, well, being from Chicago this place is an insult when it comes to pizza. Basically elevated Pizza Hut- Italian Sausage is pre-cooked- fresh vegetables are added too late in the cooking process so the veggies are not tender. Crust is too greasy for a pan pizza. Bavarian Pretzels were good- beer mustard cheese sauce was ok. Please remove Chicago from your name and it will be acceptable as pizza . Anyone who lives in the Chicago area or even had Chicago pizza knows what pizza is- this is not Chicago pizza- misleading. Perhaps I set my hopes up to high as we have so many options in Chicago and the suburbs of Chicago. People here seem to like it so that's good for this restaurant. My point- don't be fooled by the name and think that's what Chicago pizza is- not even close. read more

Place was DEAD! You think the food would come out in a few minutes.... No. Wings were cold pizza was basically all cheese( ordered a classic oc) wasn't even a pan like I ordered. Manager just walking around completely ignoring my table see are drinks are empty. Services is horrible food is as well. I don't recommend read more

I ordered a thin crust for take out. It is supposed to be 26 square pieces. I go some other crust with nine pieces. I brought this up to the hostess but she flat out lied about the crust. The pizza I wound up with was way fattening. In summary, you don't get what you order and they are liars. Go somewhere else. read more

I have such a love hate relationship with this place. When the pizza is made right it is very good. Five stars. However, that only happens about 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time the pizza is undercooked. For instance, this most recent time we ordered a large meat me on original crust and specifically asked for well done. When we got it home we found that the cheese was just barely melted and the dough was not even cooked through! We put it in the oven which fixed the cheese however the dough could not be helped. It remained gooey so we had to scrap off the toppings, take out the goo, and try to put it back together. It is very frustrating to order something and then to not have it made properly. I truly hope someone there reads this and has a chat with the kitchen to try and fix this issue. I do want to say that the girl that answered the phone (I think her name was Mikayla) was nice. read more

Our server did a great job and was running all over the restaurant attending to the few tables that were filled. Promptly took our order and kept our cups full. Appetizer arrived at a reasonable time after ordering. However, the kitchen and Manager let our server down. Ordered two pizzas, an original pepperoni and a thin Chicken/bacon ranch. After waiting over an hour we had to leave and go to our movie. We didn't even order deep dish and this delay, in a very empty store ,is not acceptable. Our server was extremely apologetic but can't say the same for the Manager. I guess our party of 5 that ordered two pizzas was overwhelming. No need to ever return. Plenty of options in the area. read more

We always come here fr pizza and canzone, always the best . The staff not so much. Tonight our waitress took our drink order and forget mine.

I love this place so much! The food here is always on point and the service is amazing. Everytime my husband and I come in town from the city we go here. It's one of my favorite places to eat. I love that sports play on the tvs in the background as well. My husband is a huge sports buff so it's always badass. I love their tangy red sauce. Being a Chicago native, that is the first thing I look for in a great Italian restaurant. Worth checking out! read more

Hi Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom Clearly you guys are not the actual Old Chicago Pizza I've been to in the past like the one that "was" in Topeka Kansas. What I thought I ordered what was supposed to be a Chicago Deep dish pizza, you know buttery flaky high sides crust and all. You know like what is sold at places in Chicago like Pizzaria UNO. We have ordered these at Old Chicago in the past. After reviewing the menu again and not actually seeing the words "DEEP" or "DISH" anywhere, I have come to the conclusion that ownership and menus have been changed at one point or another. But can you really use the name "Chicago " pizza and it not be a "Deep-Dish" That said , I have to ask why when your pizzas are so very expensive as it is, why was one of the eight slices of my very expensive pizza devoid of any toppings what so ever. That's $4 a slice at $30 pizza Do better read more

The place is split between a bar space with about 8 booths then the other side is like family dining. Service is always polite, friendly and pretty fast. Great for families due to the vast menu items. If you want beer there seems to be an ever turnover of new and regular beers. They even hav e a world beer tour if you are so inclined. They also have mini tours of several beers and the tour lasts 8-10 weeks. If you see a beer you might like ask for a sample taste. They really want you to have a great experience! Plenty of parking. Great location just off hwy35. If you want to watch a sporting event they have plenty of tv's just ask if you don't see your game and they will accommodate you. read more

We recently had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Their website states they close at midnight, so we arrived with a party of seven (2 adults and 5 kids) at 10:55 pm, thinking there would be plenty of time to serve us. Upon arrival, the host informed us that they were closing in 30 minutes. We thought that was odd but decided not to ask why since they didn't look very welcoming. He mentioned that most of the restaurant was closed but offered us a big table with high chairs or any open booth. We initially tried to sit at a small booth, but it didn't fit our group, so the host/waiter suggested we move to the large table and proceeded to get our drinks. Before our drinks arrived, a female employee, who seemed annoyed, approached us and said we couldn't sit at the bar. However, we were not even at the bar; the bar was next to us, and the large table we were seated at was not connected to or touching the bar area. This was the same table that the host/waiter initially offered to seat us at. She insisted that she couldn't legally serve us because we were "sitting at the bar," which we clearly were not, and then suggested seating us in the section that was closed earlier. When they kept changing things, I told her, "Okay, we can leave," and all she said was "Okay," gave us a side-eye glance, and walked away. It seemed like she got the outcome she wanted as they just wanted to close early. Given the unwelcoming attitude and the clear indication that they didn't really want to serve us, we decided not to dine there. This inconsistency and unwillingness to serve us despite being within operating hours were very frustrating. We hope the management addresses this issue to avoid such unpleasant experiences for other customers. We decided to go to IHOP across the street, and the single waitress in the restaurant was so welcoming. read more

From ale-crusted pizza, hot wings, mozzarella-stuffed calzones, pizza rolls, pasta, and 2900+ beers on tap across all locations, Old Chicago is the ultimate neighborhood restaurant.

Service was not good, first they take our drink order only for another server to ask again, leading to us wait another 10 minutes. We have not gotten a single drink refill from start to finish. And we have been here for almost an hour only for my friend to finally get her food. I get it when it gets busy that it takes a long time, but there are only 5 tables here. Do not recommend going here if you want a good place to eat. read more

My family visits this Old Chicago several times a year. This visit was good, as it usually is. Our server Grant was very attentive and checked in on us often. He made sure we had everything we needed and that our empty plates were taken and drinks refilled. The tables are always sticky here. I think that's just the way it goes. They didn't look dirty or anything. We ordered the pretzels for an appetizer. They are large and come with four pieces and cheese dipping sauce. Highly recommend them. I had the cheese pizza. It was good, pretty average. Two family members shared a Meat Me and also said it was good and average. The special for Monday was buy one large, get one half off, so I'd say they were worth it but not as tasty as they have been here in the past. Definitely appreciate the great customer service. We will be back. read more

A quick visit to grab a bite. This is unlike most of my visits to OC. Typically I am there with a bunch of friends and we spend a few hours eating and drinking! This was a quick stop in fairly late due to being hungry! I know... Crazy! This location is not one I go to that often anymore as I live closer to the one at 135th and Metcalf. But out here running round trying to find some specific items at Whole Foods and decided to swing on in. For those of you that have eaten here and/or are on the beer tour... you know why! So I was quickly seated as it was just me... I would have sat in the bar but there was no seating over there. My beer was delicious! The chicken pesto quesadilla "pictured" was not at all what I expected and quite pleasant! I would certainly order this again even if it wasn't on the WBT menu. My waitress was super busy yet still attentive and I couldn't have had much better of a quick dining experience. Hey all... Please see my other reviews on OC as there are many and several go into deeper details to understand this place. Thanx for reading... and keep on eating! read more

Is becoming a dive. The roof leaks badly during rainstorms, the glasses (as can be witnessed herein[see attached photos]) are disgusting to the point of having white globs of gunk inside their water glasses they're using to serve to customers, service personnel turnover changes like Kansas weather, however the food is tasty and not expensive. A good place to hang with your friends, just be on the outlook for dirtiness and don't attend during rainstorms. read more

The last 2 times we had pizza from Old Chicago - Olathe (once dine-in and once take out), The pizzas did not have enough sauce, very dry and tasteless. In between these visits, we had a dine in a Old Chicago - North Kansas City and the pizza was great! The Olathe location needs to fix this issue. read more

If you get there for happy hour, they have an unbelievable deal. Great prices on their appetizers and drinks. They are an Untappd approved venue and keep a wide variety of craft draft beers as well as in bottles. I was good with just the single topping personal pie, jalpeno pretzel bites and fantastic Buffalo chicken rolls. The other crazy thing was that when leaving, I learned that my friendly bartender was also the son of one of my former colleagues. Small world. But better than that, it's close to the Hilton Garden Inn which makes for a nice walk over and back. read more

First of all no crayons for kids menu. Super disappointed. Came in for free birthday pizza as well as free kids meal with purchase of an entree. Kids menu was very unclear (see picture and note). Essentially just annoyed because when I asked / showed manager, he told me it was "assumed" that pizza didn't come with a side. I guess I'm the 1% that didn't get it although I'm a pretty sharp person. He then walked away when I was trying to ask another question so essentially he wouldn't let me get the side of Mac and cheese included with pizza. Mac and cheese was okay- nothing special but glad it was better than Kraft. Pizza was great. Extra plate came with wet napkins but maybe it was because the plates were fresh out of dishwasher. Probably will just come back again next year for my free birthday pizza. Christmas lights were a nice touch to atmosphere but otherwise, pretty dark inside even though next to a window. read more

Most times I have been here the Pizza was alright. But, I would not rate this place as the place to go if you want good Pizza. It is nice being next to the AMC 28 movie theatre so you can get a bite to eat before going to a movie and sit in a nice environment than eating something during a movie at the AMC. I love their Pepperoni Rolls here. I have never had those not be good. But, the Pizza here is more often than not, subpar. The service is also not the best here in the times I have gone. I once went with a friend who made changes to the Pizza and then the price he got was almost double what the menu said. The waiter did not tell him there would be so many up charges for the changes. If you are looking for a nice place to meet to socialized before a Movie this is a nice place, otherwise I would not go here. read more
