Chicago Tribune: All entrees come with your choice of one equally appetizing starter: pozole (spicy chicken soup), bean dip, seasoned fries, sweet potato fries or goat cheese salad Read more.
ISC Chicago: Some of the best wings we've ever had: cooked perfectly, sweet but not too sweet, perfectly sauced
Joanna Kalinowska: Sweet potato fries and holly quacamole appetizers are both delicious.
Roslyn Redmond: The ribs, steaks, calamari. The dinner menu offers great choices. Lunch menu needs improvements. Very pleasant environment.
Carina Navarro: Very good food with good size portions that won't hurt your wallet. The desserts are awesome. I suggest the Captain Jacks Buried Treasure. It's big enough to share!
Bob DeGraff: Good fries and good service. The blackened chicken sandwich was a little mild on the flavor.

Fox: I love this place. We come here regularly and while the new people are probably expecting something different(pull the stick out why don't you) - this is the diner from heaven. Service. Food. Friends
L Clevenger: For breakfast, I personally favour having the Smokey Mountain: biscuits topped w/ eggs covered with sausage gravy and bacon strips. An alternative would be the Sunrise Special or the Chilaquiles.
Noelle Newhouse: Really great hash browns and eggs benedict too!

Tim Mulcrone: Great pizza, great spot for catching games and the patio is perfect for happy hour, a long Saturday or a Sunday Funday.
Mo Kabre: Fabulous Pizza! The ROCCO Special is always on point! Join the Spartans for Half priced PIZZA on Mondays and great networking!
Kimberly Diedrich: Kitchen hours changed the day we walked in, kind of disappointed because we were looking for late night food. But it's a touch of Wisconsin in Illinois :)
Jena Max: Their seasoned fries are great!
Sleepless In Chicago: This place is awesome. A full menu of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and open late. Geeenious!
Jp Hochbaum: I would ignore the complaint about the beer being expensive, while miller lite is $4, all beer is $4 as well. So stop drinking beer flavored water and drink better quality beer :)

Sandwich Spot · Greektown · 36 tips and reviews
Rea Stavropoulos-Lorence: Philly steak on garlic bread and seasoned fries!
Jamie Marie: Hands down best Philly. Try it with garlic bread.
Chicago Tribune: Cheesesteaks are far greasier than Chicago Italian beef, but the toasted garlic bread nestles the amalgamated oozy mass of griddled chopped tenderloin, grilled onions and white American cheese. Yum! Read more.
Time Out Chicago: The “BBQ Twist” sandwich is as close to real barbecue pulled pork as it can get. Enjoy the Sunday dinner: salad with house dressing, fake-chicken potpie, collard greens, corn and potatoes. Read more.
