I had read about how Fatso's does the char dog. I made this my last meal in Chicago…read more I went with a char dog, depression style, an order of fries, and a side of the Merkts cheddar. How was it? Fries- Delicious! Fresh cut fries, made right in front of you. They were great! Huge portion, too! Merkts Cheddar Sauce- Hell yeah! Give me a gallon of this, and I will chug it! Such a tasty cheese sauce. Loved dipping my fries in it. Great combo! Char Dog- This dog was delicious! Great char, great toppings. My only beef would be the bun. It definitely could have been more soft/steamed and fresh. It held up pretty well, but there were a couple bites where it broke and flaked apart. Hate when that happens. Still...didn't ruin the overall experience. Had a great last meal in Chicago before I headed to the airport.

This was my first time trying this location after it opened a few weeks ago. I came during…read morelunchtime this week and was able to order fairly quickly at the walk up window. I was impressed by how fast my order came out even with a large group of college kids ahead of me. Once I got my order I headed into the indoor seating area which I found to be clean and neat -but smaller than the typical sitting area at a full size Cane's. As for the food itself, a 3 pc combo, came out fast and was fresh out of the fryer. Taste was spot on but the chicken tenders looked slightly smaller than what I've seen in the past. Overall it hit the spot and I'm sure I'll be back again with my kids.

First timer here…read more This location has the most amazing people working. The cashier was really patience with me and my kids. I also learnt that canes like to scream out special order Price wise, I think its pretty decent. Everywhere else has the same price point anyways. Taste is definitely amazing. We love how tender the chicken is. We ate there when it was 40 degrees. The sitting place was definitely cold. I guess this location really gear toward carry out. Overall, definitely will be back.

Mysterious food pickup experience! This place operates incognito with no sign - it's actually a…read moreshared kitchen space. I ordered through the Jack in the Box app and somehow the pickup process went smoothly despite the secretive setup. Be warned: NO DRIVE-THRU. Also, parking is absolutely crazy. Many vendors share this kitchen, creating a constant stream of pickup customers. There's no dedicated parking lot - street parking only, which can be a real headache during busy times. Definitely one of the more unusual food pickup experiences I've had. Works fine if you know what to expect, but prepare for both confusion and potential parking struggles on your first visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Tastes just like the original Jack in the box! I loved it. I ordered while I was on my way there…read more I got 2 orders of the tacos and 2 jumbo jacks with a side of fries. I got a text about 20 minutes later that my food was ready. There is minimal signage but you're able to tell where you have to pick up your order. It's a small ghost kitchen near the uber headquarters. I was able to walk up to the counter and ask for my order. Everything was great and the tacos reminded me of Texas. I loved it!

First off, this isn't your normal McDonald's!!! It has a rotating international/global menu! Theres…read moreonly one in the US and that's this specific one in Chicago next door to their headquarters. We ordered almost everything off the global menu. Did it taste super gourmet fancy? No, at the end of the day it's still McDonalds. BUT I will say that everything felt higher quality and it was such a fun experience overall. Cheesy Onion Burger-- Just tasted like a cheesy burger with caramelized onions. Not the craziest invention but hey it's really good for McDonald's. Kung Pao Double McChicken-- I've never seen such a pretty burger from McDonald's EVERRR. Look at how gorgeous the bun is. 2 chicken patties and very, very, VERY mild spice in the sauce. Pretty good no complaints. McWrap Mango Curry-- Ok this one was a flop in the sense that the mango flavor just really wasn't working for us. It's like tart and just ... weird. Smoky BBQ McShaker Fries-- WHY ARENT SHAKER FRIES A THING EVERYWHERE!!! It tastes exactly like potato corner in the mall. They give you BBQ powder and a paper bag for you to combine and shake up yourself. Super fun 10/10 would recommend and actually tastes good. McPops (berry, biscoff, Nutella)-- Basically just filled donut holes!! Very standard like I don't know how you go wrong with donut holes. They were good! If you're in Chicago I'd recommend going just for fun. Just order everything off the global menu. It's not going to fill you up so just think of it like a snack. They DO have the full menu but ... the special part is the global part. Also as a whole, literally the cleanest McDonalds... ever I think. It's right next door to headquarters so they do NOT mess around! No self serve, they'll provide drinks in cups ready to go for you. There's people walking around ready to service you if you need anything. There's a lady by the kiosks directing traffic. Also there's SO MANY kiosks and SOOO much seating! And really clean bathrooms like wow we were so impressed.

(Although, a little disappointing) Cheesy Onion Burger: Brazil limited. Very small, just a simple layer of meat patty, cheese, and chopped onions. I have no idea where the Brazilian flavor is. Feels very perfunctory. McShaker Fries: Smoky BBQ: Malaysia limited. The seasoning seems to be five-spice salt and pepper, the smoky flavor mainly comes from paprika, plus a layer of tomato acidity. It's probably closer to Mexican than Malaysian, and rather average. Golden McFlurry: Global. Coconut pralines and caramel toppings reminded me of Ferrero Raffaello. The taste was good, but a bit too sweet.

A LOCAL CLASSIC! I…read moreloved this spot so much I ended up coming back twice. It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

I've eaten a lot of Polish Sausage in my day and I just assumed it was the kind of thing that…read morecouldn't really be improved upon. I was so wrong. The Polish Sausage they're serving up at Jim's is so much better than any I've had before that it's almost an entirely different thing. It's just so flavorful and delicious. The spicing is phenomenal and the sausage itself is extremely above average. And it's taken over the top by the fresh bun and superb sautéed onions. I joked that we should start every day with one of these sausages, and while we didn't actually do that, I feel like that would've only enhanced our trip.

This might be the best hot chicken sandwich in Chicago!…read more It's definitely spicy, but so good, and the fries are great, too. The location is perfect, right near the Bean, and the interior is spacious. The food takes a little while to come out, but it's absolutely worth the wait.

On a work trip and wanted to try this place as I saw it and there was a deal on Uber Eats…read more Ordered: Fries were soggy and just over salted Free Nuggets with over $20 order: underwhelming to say the least, the batter was off in flavor as maybe the oil was old. Also over salted. Chicken sando breading was lifeless and something was off about it but was the best thing I ate. The coleslaw was a nice texture and balanced the sando well. I'll say this, I believe the ingredients were all there but it just felt like whoever cooked and packaged it just had an off day. It tasted like it was just thrown together by someone that just didn't care about delivering their best. Gave 3 stars as maybe the delivery caused some of the poor experience.

I visited this Five Guys location to redeem an Upside offer of 12% cash back on my purchase. It is…read morelocated within the Illinois Medical District in a sector filled with many well-known restaurant chains. I must warn you beforehand, but it can be a painful experience finding a parking space in this tight lot, which also shares space with a Hampton Inn. I honestly thought that was a poor location for a Hampton Inn--let alone any hotel--but I guess it is a win if you are staying at the hotel itself. Now, I initially stopped by for just the cajun fries, but ended up ordering them with their veggie sandwich, which caught me completely by surprise as a menu item. I thought to myself, "Look at them trying to appeal to us vegans and vegetarians," which honestly is not hard at all. The veggie sandwich comes topped with green peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms. To add to the satisfying taste, I ordered cheese on it as well, turning it into a veggie cheese sandwich. My order was completed just several minutes after placing it, which gave me the chance to observe the steady customer flow and the employees working hard behind the counter. Okay, one thing I was completely unprepared for was the excessive dumping of fries inside the bag--a brown paper bag, at that! At the time, I felt as though it would have resulted in a greasy mess if I hadn't eaten them right when I got inside my vehicle. I later learned that Five Guys is known for their generous portions of extra fries. Oh my God, those addictive-tasting fries! I had one hand on the steering wheel driving, and the other digging out fries by the second, which made driving in Chicago a bit more relaxing. Once I was down to the very last crumbs, I dumped the rest straight into my mouth. Dear Five Guys, why do you make your fries so irresistibly delicious? My initial response upon looking at the veggie cheese sandwich was, "Ooouuu, that looks like a cheeseburger!" The funny thing is, I had every intention of saving it for dinner, but once I opened it up to take pictures while it was fresh, I ended up eating it right there on the spot! Oopsie! With the addition of the cheese, I must say that it was satisfyingly delicious. I am quite positive that I will return to Five Guys just to get it again, along with those addictive fries. I thoroughly enjoyed this Five Guys location and can surely see myself returning. For me, the major plus for ordering here is receiving cash back on my purchases, which I cannot complain about since it gets redeemed in a timely manner via the Upside app. Service: 5 | Atmosphere: 4 | Food: 4 ~ Live.

I plan on coming back in the near future and giving the spicy sandwich a try, for sure. In all honesty, Popeyes Chicken sandwich has more "boom" to it and City Bird sandwich lacks something I couldn't put my tongue on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my experience and the deal they had going on, for sure worth it all! Vibes were very mid though, nothing out of the ordinary.

I have been craving chicken tenders with honey mustard and ONLY chicken tenders and honey mustard lol. They always hit the spot just right and getting one for free just made it EVEN better. Their chicken is always so well seasoned but not salty, the fries come with a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley but you can opt out of that if you'd like. I also ordered the city sauce, the lemon thyme ranch and honey dijon. Everything was so well prepared and very tasty. I hate when I have beautiful but dry tenders and this was definitely not that. Oh! I also ordered a side of pickles because you can't have one without the other. My total came to 19.63 before tax and 28.63 after tip! Happy Saturday ! Get out and enjoy this beautiful day! Thank you guys for a delicious meal!
