Dixie Chicken. No doubt. Also, the cookie ice cream thing. You're going to pop.
onion rings. hickory burger & cottage fries. cookie in a bowl. REPEAT.
If you get Curtis as a bartender you are lucky. He is a total hottie!
ISC ChicagoDecember 26, 2014Considering I keep hearing good things, the wings are rather disappointing, and I had the Super Hot Buffalo; they're not really that hot and definitely not very plump or juicy :-(
Nancy Drews SernaMarch 11, 2012Don't get one of the tables for 2 across from bar and in front on kitchen and don't get DORI!
David SchafferSeptember 22, 2009The buffalo chicken turbo nachos here -- with buffalo chicken strips on top -- are HANDS DOWN the best nachos I've ever had.
- ISC ChicagoDecember 26, 2014The chili wasn't that spectacular; hearty but not much flavor, to be honest
Food is great here, except don't get anything with Ranch, it's terrible.
Kimmie KimmieFebruary 12, 2012Nothing special the food is ok the mixed drinks are pretty awful probably will not be coming back unless I'm starving and all other options have been exhausted
Michael BinettiMarch 29, 2013Not worth it. Sh*t show. Front is totally unorganized. Tables are jammed. Hard to maneuver with kids.
