    The Olympic burger with pretzel bread and waffle fried potatoes is the best! The service was very friendly and helpful even in Spanish

    Tip: Get a $1.00 Jameson shot with a free app called Bartab. You can send yourself & friends real drinks for $1.00....Download if you want to save some cash.

    Staff leaves you alone and isnt all up In your business. They take your order, make sure you are good and leave you to your own devices- perfect!

    Buffola wings and ice cold beer made my last night in Chicago. But bartender could use a smile. Or "You are welcome"

    I realized a while back that I've been coming here for over 15 years now, and it's still just as good.

    A DePaul staple. The late night menu is solid, and so is the service.

    The Greek salad is great, but be careful because the olives have pits!!!

    Not as welcoming as their Belmont location. Honestly I prefer the Belmont Cafe at this point.

    Good food. Okay service. Panic is not a pace. Slow, Medium, Fast, Panic??? No. Oh and even Walmart has a Greeter. But the food is GOOD!

    Become a respected late-night regular. Get to know those night-servers on a first-name basis.

    Service is not very good. Forgot my toast, used the wrong kind of cheese and didn't refill our water until asked. Too bad the service is so bad because the food is good!

    What happened to this place? 30+ minutes for 2 sandwiches? And when we left a low tip (cause the service sucks) Dan chased us out the door to yell about his tip. Don't go here

    Bar had me waiting 20 minutes for an order I canceled it. Friendly-SPEAKINGpatronage, but rude in that they like to block the aisles for 10+ minutes and even sit in your chair with your stuff!!
