“ I love Chicago food… so when flying in/thru ORD I try to grab something unique to the area and nothing is more “technical” to make than a simple hot dog. So, I came here on a recent connection thru this airport. The service was good… the food was awesome! Loved that Chicago Dog! Though it was far from the best I’ve had, it was so good it reminded me of what I miss from regular visits to Portillo’s. And seriously, you can get these in the DC area! Worth stopping in… for sure! ”
“ My experience here today was great, was looking for a place to relax for a bit (longer lay over) that wasn't in the crowded areas AND had a plug for my phone. Sat at the bar, my Bulgarian bartender was fabulous and she offered great conversation. The hot dogs and fries were tasty and came out super fast. I wish the old fashioned wasn't $26.... so I opted for a modelo instead ”
“ Maybe a touch slow but otherwise great food and great service. It was packed but still found us a table, had 3 different people attend to us during our meal and paid under $40 for 2 meals (one of them kids) and a drink. Steal of a deal at airport. ”
“ Service was a little bit slow. And the fry portion was little small for what you pay, but it is in an airport, so expect to pay more. Overall it was great food, so I cant complain too much!! If you're in Chicago O'Hare Airport, its worth checking out. ”
“ Staff was very friendly and table service was fast, especially for an airport. We sat for 20 minutes at Chili's and was never waited on. This should have been our first choice. Large portions of food, to bad we couldn't take it home. ”
