Old Chicago

NOT TRUE CHICAGO STYLE PIZZA. Now that we've addressed the misleading name, it is still a slam dunk for a sports bar/restaurant. The atmosphere is laid back, staff is super friendly, and the food is good for the price. As I said, it's not true Chicago style, but is pretty close for being a chain restaurant located in the suburbs of Dallas. Lots of options, and super kid friendly!

First time to visit. Great atmosphere for a Sports Bar. Lot of open room for groups or individuals. It has four large areas for seating plus several stools around the bar. I like the bar counter layout of rounded corners square with one side outside through a rolling garage door. Many tvs. If I stopped my experience here I would have given five stars. Food was good. We had the fish and chips and customized pizza with water and sweet tea. Hawaiian pizza was great, the fish was good with a little too much breaded crust taste for me. French fries were great. Here is the challenge for them, we ordered and waited. Ordered an appetizer of onion rings, which tasted great and the right size for premeal, and waited. We received the appetizer and then waited. Others were served around us and we waited. I am not sure of validity but waiter said the pizza is taking too long for our order. This 8 inch pizza certainly was a challenge for them. I would have appreciated a check on our drinks a little more during the waiting but that might be just me. Maybe we were not the right customers for this place. Four stars for good meals and down to three stars with the service. I hope I get back sometime in the future. The place has a good word of mouth advertising from its clientel.

Second time eating there and the food was just as good. Kelvin was a fantastic server. He made recommendations, was very attentive and had jokes (that was actually funny). Ordered deep fried mac & cheese bites, manicotti and a pizza. It all came out very fresh, fast and hot. The flavor was good on all three items. There were alot of nats flying around which was a bit annoying but the service and food made up for it.

We got here at Sunday maybe a little after noon and they wasn’t busy at all. The server wasn’t very good as I would run out of my drink and had to wave him down. Pizza was good but kind of misleading in my opinion. The portion size for individual states 4 slices, was thinking actual 4 slices of a large pizza but instead got a personal pizza. My kids pizza was the same size as mine for more than double the price. The wife’s chicken pesto was delicious. I still would come back but not that often, $48 for a family of four on pizza is quite a bit. Oh and the portion size of the salad was a joke, even my son that is 6 years old asked if we are going to be able to get some more.

Excellent service, good food, & a easy kick back atmosphere. Me & my daughter visit for lunch, it wasn't over crowded or too loud. She even seemed cool and she is very finicky. So all around pleased. Also a large amount to take home, pricing is decent for the quality ours was about $40-$45 with sodas.

So I had the Chicago 7 personal pizza and smoky apple wood wings.... Both were excellent! Service was a little slow, however I did overhear the bartender discussing problems in the kitchen. Service was decent. Atmosphere was OK... The chicken and pizza were very flavorful and better than what you would receive from a chain restaurant. Price was decent. I would definitely recommend eating from this establishment.
