The flavorful chicken recipe is consistent, juicy, & crispety crunchy every time. Their potato salad is better than most I've had even at the best BBQs (no onions!) or they offer the more popular, sweet potato fries or the lesser known baked beans. They also have what sounds like some delish desserts but we were too stuffed to try. I reiterate, I consider this tiny, unassuming, (clean) hole-in-the-wall a fast food joint...so you order at the counter, grab your tray, & see yourself to your table of choice either downstairs or up. They also have a short counter with stools at the window that seats 3-4 in case you want first row seating to hurried passersby or the occasional dog walker cleaning up. Oh, & there's air conditioning! Like real, good ol' 'Merican air conditionin's!!! Be aware of their non-American hours though, as they close for siesta in the early afternoon to reopen later for dinner service. What's more, their customer service is on par with their food! There's a small, young crew of locals (didn't meet actual Corey, who is apparently a real person from The South) that run & maintain the place. I mentioned it's fast food but only in menu not in prices. There will be no 5€ combo with fries & a drink. I understand it's an elevated version & I certainly appreciate it, but I'm skeptical of the locals making this concept a raging success as they're so used to cheap eats, especially at lunch time. On a last note, my friend & fellow USA expat would beat me with a chicken leg if I didn't mention their playlist. A variety of either old school hip hop or R&B...like, the real sh!t. I will definitely be returning to get my fingers & lips all greased up!

Milk shakes bring all the boys to the..table! No, but really, their milkshakes are to die for and probably only one of the few spots they make them at Milan. From burgers to burritos, spaghetti and meat balls to Mac and cheese, ribs to veggie burgers. They've got it all! The best part is everyone can find something to eat in their wide variety menu. ***Vegetarian and vegan friendly*** When you walk in, immediately you're eyes get lost with all the cool stuff on the walls and awesome decoration. You seriously feel like you walked into a diner from the 50's. This place is big enough for groups and you may make reservations ahead of time! Everything is made fresh to order and the food is pretty good! Definitely a place to go to in Milan near the San Siro stadium!

We were shown to one of the empty tables pretty quickly and had plenty if time to look over their extensive menu. We waited. And waited. And waited.

At this point we decided they were probably understaffed and moved on down the road.

The waitress brought out an iPad-like tablet that you use to view the menu and place your order. There's a ton of different options and you can, of course, customize how you cook the meat. We started off with a mixed platter of appetizers that included chicken nuggets, onion rings, and three different sauces. I decided to go with the Smoky burger with fries for my meal. When I took my first bite, I felt satisfaction that I haven't felt since I arrived in Italy! Huge amount of meat (instead of huge buns, additional buns, or a ton of lettuce that you'll find at other American-style venues in Italy). My previous forays into American burgers in this country left me disappointed in the amount of meat, I wasn't expecting American-sized portions and was thoroughly stuffed by the end of the meal. Just because you're stuffed doesn't mean there isn't room for dessert. I chose a slice of pistachio cheesecake (cheesecake with diced pistachios sprinkled liberally on top). I love pistachio and I was satisfied, though the meat was my favorite part of the meal. I would 100% recommend Smoky's to those looking for an authentic American burger experience, especially homesick American tourists. I would love to come here again.

I met with some yelped, some friends and some family members for a Sunday funday brunch at this little corner of the good ol' comfort food of the land of star's stripes. We ordered: - Onion rings (some slightly over fried) with beer batter with honey mustard .... YOLO!!! - cheese burger with raw onions and French fries (truly appreciated) - pulled pork sandwich (I needed a a shower afterwards.... which means it was TRULY amazing)... it was so wonderfully cooked and the meat melted in my mouth. - baby back ribs with BBQ sauce and French fries (wonderfully cooked, extremely soft and chewable) - hot wings (ÜBER-spicy) and some a tad too over-cooked with gorgonzola sauce. - pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream -super huge and decadent burrito with 3 sauces (guacamole, sour cream and jalapeño) The squeezed oranges were very nice and the bottled water was good as well. The beer on tap was from Piemonte and very good indeed. Everything was truly great... EXCEPT for the coffee. .. that tasted burnt. Everything was amazing and tasty and I surely will come back over and over again to try a few more options off the menu.... Welcome to my home away from home... BRAVO!!!

Cecily's place is what I would call the most authentic American food I've had in Italy, and thanks to her you can eat real bbq baby back ribs, yummy burgers and the best apple pie in Milan (among other delicious dishes). The place is not big, about 10 tables, you can see that Cecily is always taking care of everything, from the entrance where she greets you, then explaining every dish at your table (I loved the explanation about the Animal Fries: "Italians complain that it seems we gave them leftovers, but that's the way they are, it's a typical L.A. dish, so don't complain if you order them" - seriously, Google them if you don't believe it) and always checking up on you, if you need anything and if the food's OK. I've been here for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner where we left super full and satisfied (first approach to their apple pie, yummy!): turkey, potatoes, mac n'cheese, dips, brownies, etc., then for drinks and to watch the game (it can be a valid alternative to a sports bar - big screen, beers, onion rings, what else do you need?), for dessert (apple pie!) and for dinner again last night. As starters, we had the shrimp pil pil (spicy and hot, probably not the best choice on a hot summer evening... we were sweating) and the animal fries (loved them, I would also order them as bar snacks to watch the game); then the famous baby back ribs (be ready to lick your fingers) and the blue cheese burger which was a mess to eat (the patty was too juicy and the bun got too moisty) so I ended up eating it with fork and knife but it was very good and cooked perfectly to my taste; the sides were also good: creamed spinach and cucumber salad with tzatziki... as if we weren't full enough, we had the apple pie and the cheesecake, both great. Prices are average for restaurants in the city center and considering the quality and authenticity, well, hats off to Cecily!!!

It happened though, and I found Hamerica's. This is an "American" place that has Brooklyn IPA on tap. The nachos were heavy on the Velveeta sauce and not real cheddar, but it's forgivable. I placed this order to go, and it was prepared with lightning speed. It was a late (10PM) on a rainy Sunday night, no other patrons, but a delivery guy came to pick up an order. Cute place: I'd definitely return if afflicted with a crude craving for non Italian food again.

Tex-mex in Milano?…read more I came for business lunch one day while in town. I suppose they picked this restaurant because I missed American food??? Yes, they serve some Tex-Mex food here and I don't have any comments on them as I only ate what considered traditional Milano food. We were a group of 12 people and when we arrived, they had a table ready for us. Considering it was a lunch time, service was prompt and food came fairly quick. Since i didn't have any more meetings that day, per their recommendation, I tried Aperitivi. Their drink was made with Prosecco, it was a tad sweet for my liking but it was refreshing nonetheless. We shared some meat plates and can't go wrong with Italian ham. I tried some sort of meat with mayonnaise on top. I was told it was a traditional food there. It tasted like tuna mayonnaise.... it was good but since the portion size was big, I eventually got tired of eating. I suppose it was Texas size?!?! This place was packed at a peak lunch hour and I recommend making a reservation if you want to be seated right away.

My first impression of Columbus was that they were a disco as a steady stream of 20-something young women we entering shortly after they opened at 7 dressed in all manner of finery being admitted by an ear-phone connected bouncer at the front door. Throbbing music hits you in the face after you enter. Apparently this place is some sort of aperitivo (like happy hour but full priced drinks with free appetizers) hot spot that has hit a chord with budget-minded young folks. The food station had over a dozen munchies from fried potatoes and corn tortillas to cheese and meats. We however were looking for dinner and were escorted out to a quieter open air patio where numerous fans were keeping things comfortable. After 11 days in Italy we were looking for a change of pace so as a starter ordered nachos (described as corn triangles with cheese and jalapeño on the menu). I ordered fried sticker strips and chips whither we more like Burger kings chicken fries, or long thin chicken McNuggets with thick cut French fries. They even had packets of catsup on the table! My wife got shrimp tempura -5 jumbo string in a very light batter that she enjoyed. Dessert was the 3-chocolate mouse that was also pretty good. When we left, the place was packed, mostly with young people enjoying the free chow and drinking spritzers, daiquiris, and other cocktails. An interest and happening spot to be sure.
