    We had to wait 45 minutes for our food. The order was wrong. My husband ordered a burger medium and he received it well done. I asked for dressing on the side . It came with dressing on the salad. The manager was kind and took care of the matter.

    The food was good, service was decent. It was pretty crowded so we expected the food to take some time but it took a very long time and was not as ordered when it finally came. It took awhile for them to correct it as well, while the rest of the food got cold. Overall, I would give it a second try.

    Pleasant Surprise Next to Millennium Park. Our family of five needed a place to eat after ice skating. We were looking for something in the $$ price range, not a chain, full service bar and takes reservations on OpenTable. Rudy's reviews seemed positive so we tried it out and really liked it. When you enter, there is a long, full service wooden bar ahead of you. Dining area is in the back. It is small, maybe a square of 3 tables by 3 tables with a lower ceiling than the bar area. There are televisions you can see no matter where you sit. The host and server did great. We ordered burgers, a grilled cheese and a BLT. Everyone liked what they ordered. I really liked the fresh cut fries. They seem to have par baked large potatoes, cut them to steak-cut size, and fried them. Really good. The chocolate shake was above average. Forgot to mention the pickles that come as a garnish: deliciously fresh and crunchy - must be homemade. With two non-pickle eaters in our bunch I got to also enjoy theirs. :-) We'll definitely be back.

    It took forever to get our entrees. We got our appetizer quickly and then didn’t see our server again until he delivered our food 45 minutes later. A Manager did apologize for how long it was taking, but at that point it had been 30 minutes. And we were seated by the bathroom, even with a reservation. Once we got it, food was pretty good.
