text: A couple of my friends really enjoy this place, but no matter how much I try, I just can't warm-up to the place.\n\nThey do have a decent tap selection, which includes a nice mix of local micros and tasty macros.  Not in the mood for a tap?  Check out the large selection of bottled brews.  Their beer menu is excellent because it lists the style, the origin (city/state/country), and ABV.  Pricing is a bit higher than you'll find at most of the locally-run pubs.\n\nThe food and service is where I have to take away a star or two... The food I've tried has been greasy - from the chicken tenders to the pizza rolls to the regular pizza - it's all been terribly greasy.  It tastes hyper-processed - I think another reviewer made note of this, and I couldn't agree more... And, it's overpriced - count on spending around $22-$24 for dinner, a drink, and a soda/tea.  \n\nService is (wait for it) spotty.  I've been to this location five or six times, and have only once had a really good server - we sat in the bar, and our server was excellent.  He never let a glass go beyond 2/3 empty.  Sitting in the dining area has resulted in less than favorable service, even when the place wasn't busy.\n\nSo... Old Chicago... I'm sorry, but I have to give you a \"MEH\" rating.\n\nFood = 2 stars (greasy; seems sub-par)\nService = 2 stars (very spotty; sit in the bar for best service)\nValue = 2 stars (pricey)\nMISC = 3 stars (good beer selection)\n\nWith places like Roman Candle, Rosatti's, Glass Nickel, Buck's, and others very nearby, I can't justify hitting Old Chicago.  Sorry.
