It has been a bit now since I visited and sadly was disappointed in my experience. I called ahead to order so pick up would be easier. The staff member was having a difficult time understanding me but we got my order in and everything seemed clear! When we went to pick up our food, we noticed the inside wasn't super clean and they had fans on in both eating areas. The woman at the register helped a couple of others before calling me up so I could pay for our order. There was no confirmation of items just my name. When our food was ready, they were missing the small french fry. She immediately got defensive saying she didn't charge me for it and I could pay still. Another staff from the back came out and also chimed in. I was happy to pay for the fry but everything is made to order so we had to wait a bit. The food here is very good. The wings weren't as crispy as normal but that could have been from the wait. Overall, there could be some service improvements made and better communication among staff.

We had a Beef & Sausage Combo (dipped) an order of fries with cheese, and a Maxwell Street Polish. Service is pretty quick. We had our food fast and dove in. Starting with the Maxwell, it's a great sausage with some snap. The sport peppers give the acidic bite balanced by sweet onions. I tried stuffing some fries on as well. The Beef & Sausage Combo was good, but that's a tough one to eat when dipped. You're not putting it down. I probably could have gone with a fork and knife. The beef itself is lightly seasoned, so the addition of the sausage boosts the flavor.

There's not much in the way of food except some cookies and pastries. Cool place to have some beers and get food. It's unique from most delis because this has slots, so it's also a gaming parlor.

Wendy's Takis Meal Review By Louis D'Antonio, Read Write…read moreReviews As a longtime fan of spicy foods and Takis snacks, I was eager to try Wendy's new Takis-inspired meal launched this June. The combo includes a Takis chicken sandwich, Takis fries, a bag of Takis chips, and a drink and promising a fiery, flavorful experience. First off, I have to commend the staff on-site; the manager was exceptionally friendly and attentive, which made the visit pleasant. The Takis fries were a highlight seasoned well, and packed with that signature spicy lime tang I love. The bag of Takis chips was also enjoyable, delivering that familiar crunch and heat that Takis enthusiasts crave. However, unfortunately, the star of the meal -- the Takis chicken sandwich fell flat. The chicken itself was dry and lacked flavor, and the Takis topping on the sandwich was soggy and limp, detracting from what could have been a fiery delight. As someone who appreciates spice, I was disappointed that the Takis on the sandwich couldn't deliver. Overall, while the fries and chips were solid, the sandwich didn't meet the mark, especially for fans of spicy, crunchy snacks. I'd rate this experience a 2.5 out of 5 stars. It has potential, but some improvements are needed to truly capture the Takis experience on a bun. To improve the Takis chicken sandwich, consider adding more seasoning and crunch to the chicken, and using a crunchier topping.

One of the days I worked remotely and had a table for a few hours. I noted how clean and neat the café was and the good condition of the furniture and carpeting. I've seen some really rundown Panera breads. The service was fine and some of the servers were more friendly than others, but I could not possibly complain about anything. The closest thing to a complaint is that I stopped in one evening around 8 PM, an hour before close, and asked for a cup of decaf. They didn't have any, but the server was super pleasant and said she'd be happy to bruise them for me. No problem. Also, something I've never seen after working remotely at many Panera's, someone walked around offering samples that they're baked goods. When I picked up the lunch order from my office today, they included a sample of a baked good in my bag. Really nice touch, no complaints here. I don't really love food at Panera, maybe just the soup. Prices have gone up and that the corporate decision but I think this is one of the nicer cafés that I've been to.

I took it up to the register and told the guy of my mistake offering to pay for a new one. He insisted that was unnecessary and gave me a corrected latte on the house!

It was well prepared, fresh, and delicious. I also indulged in a couple bottles of their smoothies, blueberry with avocado, banana, bananas, cane sugar, and a strawberry banana with the same cane sugar also vegan friendly. I originally learned of this place when I worked in Tinley Park a couple years ago and drove all the way from Chicago today to go there to treat myself. As usual, I was greeted with kindness by Chris, who was working the register at the time. The ambience is surreal, it provides a quiet place to enjoy your food, read, work or if you need to just reflect on life. This is one of my favorites and although they're not close to Chicago, it's worth the drive! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have my avocado rolls. I really enjoyed those but everything is still good. I wish I could get more vegan options on the menu but overall, Avocado Theory is a 12 out of 10.
