I haven't been to Monti's since it had that big, rich uncle's basement energy. The uncle in the…read morefamily whose house everybody crammed into for Friday fish fry, and the smoky card games, with the liquor bottles on the walls. Yesterday I walked in and, oh. oh WOW. Now you only get that basement vibe when you head to the bathroom. lol Monti's is a legit cool kid now, and I'm not mad at it at all. The cheesesteak? Still doing what it's supposed to do. I ordered one to go and demolished it later that night, like usual. I did sit in and have a few beers and bites. Somehow I've been sleeping on the onion rings and wings this whole time. Listen, listen, listen, Linda, the onion rings; Do Not Change Them!!! Don't you dare switch to those battered, frozen, chain-restaurant rings of bull-s. These are the good rings. Now, the wangzzzz. I'm not going to pretend these are the absolute best wings in the entire city, but they are absolutely in the "I will randomly crave these on a Tuesday" category. The meat could use a little marinade situation to bring more flavor inside, but that crispy coating holds up to the sauce like a champ. I like it, I like it, I like it. Extra points for a buffalo sauce that actually has some thickness to it and isn't just "here's some hot sauce, on a wing being called buffalo sauce. Now, I am going to need to try some of the other wing sauces, but if they hold up too. I would rather come here than go to some other well known wing spots. Honestly, I can see myself rolling through just for wings, rings, and vibes. And that Golden Monkey beer? Yeah, go ahead and keep that on tap forever. Please and thank you. haha

Ok, look, I have been to Philly. The name is wrong…read more However, this is a great place for a cheese steak. The people are great, and it is a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your sammich.

I guess to park that's not really that expensive but when you're just going in for a sandwich, it seems like a bunch. I ordered my Philly with onions and green peppers with the American cheese and it was as good as the one on Belmont. The place is a little dirty. The bathrooms are horrendous just as bad as the ones on Belmont you used to be. I don't know why it's so hard for people to use the restroom without leaving an extreme mess. So I would say the biggest downfall is how disgusting the bathrooms are. The place is older so it isn't the cleanest looking of places, but unlike the one on Belmont, I left and didn't get food poisoning. It had been several years since I had a Philly because after you get food poisoning on something you don't wanna eat it for a long time.

Chicago Pickle Eatery on Milwaukee Avenue in Avondale was a pleasant surprise when our foursome…read morewent to a nearby facility for drinks and decided to grab some food too. Although we could order food for delivery, my bud and I decided to walk over to place our order direct and then bring the food back to the bar. This gave me the opportunity to check out the eatery, which also sells all sorts of fun food snacks, beverages and products. There are a few tables should you wish to dine there. I ordered a half sandwich and my lovely wife wanted an order of cheese fries. I figured the half "Classic Reuben" would be a nice snack, but the portion looked more like a full sandwich rather than a mere half. The Reuben is served warm and tasty with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. The cheese fries were generously covered with cheese sauce, and fortunately we ate them fairly quickly so they did not become too soggy. Our friends ordered full sandwiches, and so each sandwich seemed like two sandwiches in size. Needless to say, they had leftover sandwiches to take home. Ironically, I do not believe anything we ordered contained any pickle, oh well.

My order took about 7 minutes. The bread was soft and chewy. The flavor of the meat was good. I overall enjoyed my sandwich. The shop itself is also a grocery store with limited items. I appreciate the elevated chips, desserts and gelato for sale. The cake looked so good but was trying to be good so didn't grab a slice of cake. All in all the my lunch was satisfying.

We were already in the area to check out Frank Lloyd Wright's studio and then came here for lunch afterwards. We were lucky that it was a Monday at lunch time and not a more traditional peak time to be there because we got a parking space fairly quickly and even though we saw the line out the door, it moved very fast. It's very much a cash-only and no-frills type of place. Don't come here expecting them to be super friendly to you. You go up there knowing what you want to order and they are quick and on it. When you're paying, they're already getting the other customer's (behind you) order. We went for an Italian beef sandwich to split as well as a side of fries and an Italian ice. Everything was excellent. Definitely the best Italian beef I've ever had and one of my friends said it was one of the best foods he had on his week trip here. Will definitely need to return!

I got the spicy peppers mix and they were DEFINITELY spicy! I can tolerate my spice pretty well but all my friends had runny noses and tears in their eyes after trying these. Maybe go for the mild peppers if you're not a spice lover. Overall, a good experience while visiting and definitely a hearty meal.
