Ok ... so we had some time before our flights out of O'Hare and wanted a "local" burger joint …read more.. searching Yelp, the Landing Strip came up highly ranked ... let's be honest ... it's a bar with a kitchen - maybe even a dive bar with a kitchen (any place with g-strings hanging from the ceiling should be classified "dive" in my book). When we pulled in their were more motorcycles than cars - so a "biker dive bar" is even more appropriate. Anyway - the bartender/waitress was amazing - great personality, on top of her game and assessed the old couples as not normal clientele - but happy to serve. Food was great - we got some burgers some fries and beer. Better than anything in the airport - and much more entertaining. I'll be back ... but probably not with wives (the restrooms were a bit rough).

We were in town recently and decided to check out R Place after it changed ownership (formerly…read moreChances R). Upon arrival, we were greeted by a security guard at the door--no issues there. A woman seated near the entrance informed us there was a $10 cover charge for males. My friend and I paid, while our wives were allowed in for free. Not even ten feet inside, the same security guard stopped us and said the cover was actually $20 per person. I pushed back on this, and he ultimately let it go. Once inside, we realized we were the only customers in the entire bar. The music was extremely loud--so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak--but we ordered drinks anyway. My wife later approached the security guard to ask about the inconsistent cover charge, given that the bar was completely empty. When my friend's wife went over to join her, another security guard intervened and told them they needed to relax and that they were not allowed to touch each other, even though they were simply holding hands. After witnessing this interaction, we stood up and approached the security guards to understand what the issue was. Unfortunately, the response we received was rude and disrespectful, especially toward paying customers. To avoid further confrontation, we chose to leave. Based on this experience, we will not be returning to R Place.

Inside was pretty empty, we were there on a Thurs night and it seemed like mostly a few other corporate groups and regulars. There's a room with slot machines which I thought was interesting. Quick service, large portions and food came out fast. 4/5 chicken caldo soup - spicy but really flavorful 2/5 wings - dry rub was a bit too dry for their liking 3/5 friend got a salad with poppyseed dressing but didn't end up using the dressing as it had a bit of a strange consistency for her. She said it was okay tho. 3.5/5 ultimate grilled cheese, added a burger patty medium and red onions. The burger was good but cooked more medium well. Waffle fries generous but didn't care much for the ranch. 3.5/5 jambalaya - friends enjoyed it and the serving was large. 4/5 bread pudding was tasty and so was the ice cream. Service was great and it was just what we needed to get us some extra food. Menu was extensive and she indicated all was made fresh. Not necessarily food I'd crave & seek out if I was back in the area but it was pleasantly surprising and exactly what we needed!

Even with a lot of toppings. The beer was ice cold. The only kinda meh was the appetizer pretzel. The beer cheese was kind of like a liquid nacho cheese with beer mixed into it that made for an off putting texture and the mustard sauce was just Dijon mustard squirted into a cup. Needed to be thinned out a bit. Over all 8.5/10. The pizza made up for the appetizer meh-ness

This was our third visit to Modern Plate and I think the food keeps getting better! The Only negative was the electric scooters and bikes flying by the outside tables and past the signs saying please walk your wheels. Don't let that deter you the place is fantastic, just be careful when you cross the sidewalk, or sit inside at the impressive bar!

The group agreed that the drinks were not great. The cocktails tasted off and the sodas had no carbonation. Would definitely come back!

The sandwiches on the menu look tempting, and the dessert list was mouthwatering. I highly recommend.

The sauce was tangy and zesty. I inhaled the pasta in record time and our server was nice enough to bring extra bread so I could use it to scrape up as much sauce as possible. My wife really enjoyed her rigatoni vodka ($22). Our server Enid was friendly and personable. I'll be back to try even more marvels off the menu. If everything is as good as my bucatini, Ciao Isabella is going in my permanent rotation.
