We had gone here for dinner. It was right next-door to the Avid we stayed at. Our waitress was training a new girl so we got twice the service. Friendly and helpful. Large dining with a bar with everything. Also outdoor dining but didn't see any umbrellas so we sat inside. I got the Apple, walnut salad with chicken also blue cheese and walnuts with a creamy herb dressing and it had a little spicy kick to it..Hubby got spaghetti pie -thin spaghetti Alfredo sauce, Italian cheeses, baked in a small loaf pan and topped with cheese and marinara sauce. It was bubbling hot when it came out. I got to eat the last couple of bites I think I will try to make this it was really good. read more

Ambience is typical old Chicago. Although tons of dirty dishes everywhere. Staff is super nice and kind. All of my food came out incorrect. Burger was completely overdone beyond well done. I ordered a medium. Wings came out wrong. No manager visible. Really you only got to blame management here. The staff is super nice. I'm trying to do their job. I don't recommend anyone come back to this place. read more

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom - Most beer out! Taps for others take over 5 min to pour. - Pizza Near Me - Hays, Kansas

Stopped here to have a lunch meal before a large dinner was planned in the evening. We were greeted and seated immediately. The hostess was super customer service oriented and the server was also very much so as well. We saw that they had lunch specials for $9.99 and also Oktoberfest specials on beer: $4 pints & $5 tall steins. We ordered: Cheesy Sticks Starters, 2 Old Chicago Chopped Salads, 1 Oktoberfest Beer, and 1 Heineken 0% Alcohol Beer. Everything came out within a good amount if time: about 7 mins for the starter, and 10 mins after that for the salads. The cheesy bread was pretty good, hot and flavorful. It came with a marinara dipping sauce. The salads were tiny and served in small bowls. They definitely were not worth $10 each, but maybe $3 each, as they were side salad size, not lunch salad size. We had excellent customer service here so I kept it at 3 stars. The food quality and portion sizes was a bit off. read more

They act polite and nice, but false advertise and frankly; they do not understand people have a right to their own opinions. They are unprofessional, whether you want to work for them; or you are just dinning at the place. read more

The price value is horrible, I ordered it to be delivered through DoorDash and the restaurant substituted Coke zero for Diet Coke. I don't like Diet Coke. They didn't bother calling me reaching out and look how small this portion is. read more

Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom - I don't believe this is $20 worth - Pizza Near Me - Hays, Kansas

So here's a serious question-- does the water in Hays have a high sulfur content? We live in California and our daughter is starting her freshman year at FHSU. We've happily eaten at this Old Chicago location twice in the past 60 days (once in July and once in August) and both times could smell sulfur. The pizza is consistent and the price is spot on. Service is great (everyone is pleasant in Kansas) but we had to be moved the last time we ate here in August due to the noxious smell emanating from the kitchen. Other restaurants in downtown Hays do not have this issue and we did NOT notice this issue staying at the Hilton near by. read more

This was a great place to eat. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. The place was clean including the restrooms. It wasn't that noisy nor was the prices too expensive for what we got for dinner. If I am ever back in town, then we definitely eat here again. read more

We sat at the bar and very much enjoyed the bartender company as well as the locals around us. Games were on TV. The drinks were alright and the food pretty decent. Not bad for a quick stop, especially if you're overnighting in a nearby hotel. read more

The food was delicious service mid been here a lot it was overall great I do recommend this place Collin out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered chicken "tenders" and they were like shoestrings. My wife ordered grilled chicken, which they were out of chicken...so she ordered "wings". They were still frozen inside. We asked for something else on the menu and they were out of it. The waiter brought out the last two "tenders" they had since I asked for some more food. Horrible experience. Then still got charged full price for trash food. Don't go to this place read more

Amazing food would good service. Would only recommend if you're willing to spend a pretty penny. Not the cheapest place

Pizza, beer, and service were all excellent! We were traveling and this hit the spot! Hoping they are still here the next time we are traveling through. They seem to be slowly disappearing around the country. read more

The food was really awesome here. Who knew that their spinach and artichoke dip is really the best out there. Like the chips they serve with it are perfectly cooked crispy. And the salad was freaking awesome read more

Very happy it's our first experience at Old Chicago. Nice selection of beer on tap and in bottles. In fact, I found several of my favorites and also discovered a new stout that was delicious. We split an order of the pepperoni rolls that really were the star of the night. They easily could be an entree and would be delicious. I had the 'Meat Me' deep dish pizza, which was good but over had better. My daughter did a make your own pizza, which she liked, but she was also full from the pepperoni rolls so she only ate half. We split an individual cookie pizza for desert, which hit the spot. Other than one blip at the bar, service was fine. Looking forward to trying some of the locations close to me in Colorado. read more

While staying at the hotel next door, I was looking for a takeout for dinner. Popped into Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom. What a great decision. Best pizza I have had in ages! Great service. Ordered the small size veggie pizza with thin crust. The crust was crispy. The veggies were perfect--not overcooked or soggy. I loved the fact that this pizza was so fresh, not overly saucy or cheesy. The girl that took my order and packed up the takeout, included plates, napkins, plastic ware, and Parmesan cheese and red pepper packets in my To Go bag! If you are ever in Hays, KS, give it a try! read more

I normally would give Old Chicago in Hays 5 stars But they took my favorite item off their menu. It was the Tuscan chicken pizza. So I tried the new salad which was the southwest chicken salad. The salad was so-so. The service has always been good. read more

The thin crust pizza was amazing and the bartender with dreads was very friendly and helped me navigate the menu.

We ordered take out Large deluxe it was loaded with goodies and a small pepperoni, it was average. Overall I would recommend read more

Just okay. We stopped in for dinner after stopping for the night while returning to Colorado. We ordered some appetizers off of the happy hour menu. The Buffalo chicken rolls were just OK. Seems like they use canned chicken in them and they were probably made a long time prior to being served and just heated perhaps of the salamander. The wings were actually very very good. We both enjoyed those and they were crispy and tossed in the sauce that we asked for. The little pizza off of the happy hour menu was OK had a lot of sauce little cheese, but nothing to brag About. I ordered the oatmeal stout and was brought a lager. She quickly changed that out to the stout that I asked for the stout is reasonably flat. It does have a head on it, but it's not tasted very fresh. All in all it was an okay dinner for a stop over, but I probably wouldn't come back. I feel like I have been to better Old Chicago chains. I'm not a huge chain fan however, I feel like old Chicago has rarely let me down. read more

Traveling to Colorado Springs we stopped in Hays Kansas for the night (pro tip...keep driving a bit further to the next town) We had our Staffordshire Bull Terrier with us so I hit up YELP looking for dog friendly patios for dinner. Old Chicago was the first on the list with decent reviews so we went. There really wasn't anything wrong with this place but it didn't ring my too bell for any prize. It could have been that I was tired from the 10 hour drive or that it was hot...or that it was Wednesday night and the patio was dead so there was no atmosphere. The food was fine/good, we had a thin crust pizza, boneless wings, and Ceaser salad. The wait staff was very very friendly, and the service was speedy. If I lived in that town I'd probably revisit however just driving through I would try another business. read more

We hosted a sports team dinner at Old Chicago in Hays this past weekend and could not have been happier with our experience! From scheduling to ordering, Raegan was so easy to work with. The night of the event went so smoothly. Allison and Raegan (even though they were short staffed) did a fantastic job of exceeding our expectations. And the food was really delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Jenni Sauls read more

Walked in behind a large party and was seated (they allowed us to choose.. So we picked the bar) it was 2 us of. We started off with some pint beers. It was only $3 because it was after 9pm.

We stopped at Old Chicago during an overnight stay in Hays while driving cross country. We picked it because we had our dog with us and as other reviewers stated, they have an outdoor patio that allows your dog to join you. We were happy we didn't have to eat another meal locked in our hotel room!! We ordered a few drinks to start with that came out fast and then enjoyed some Buffalo wings and a Tuscan Chicken pizza on pale ale crust. The wings were good and the blue cheese dressing that came with it was delicious!! The Tuscan chicken pizza was very tasty and hit the spot after a day of driving. The best meal though was the plain chicken breast they grilled for our dog after we asked about it. He loved it and we really appreciated the extra effort. They even cut it for him!! Our servers were also SO friendly. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Wow what a great surprise. Walking distance from hotel and not expecting such an excellent dining experience. Our server Maddie was 5 out of 5, friendly, fast, answered our questions with a smile, took care of a minor issue immediately. We had a large pizza and it was superior. Fresh basil, caramelized onions done perfectly, nice thin crust, just the right amount of Italian sausage. Even the Caesar salad came with chilled plates. All in all one of the best "on the road" surprises of our numerous road trips. read more

After a tire blowout on the highway, Old Chicago was our resting place. Very unexpected and we were all a little worn down. Ten of us stopped in and the staff was more than happy to seat us at the bar, where there was not a wait. Our bartender/waitress was Roxy - she was a ROCKSTAR. Such a kind heart and easy to create conversation with. She definitely lifted our spirits before we headed back on the road. The drinks were strong and gave us the pep in our step that we were searching for. Since it is convenient to access off the highway, don't hesitate to stop in here for a quick bite to eat or refreshment. I hope Roxy can serve you and make your day a little brighter, like she did for us. read more

I am immune-compromised, so THIS MATTERS to me: OLD CHICAGO DOES NOT REQUIRE COVID-19 VACCINATIONS, BUT OFFERS SIGNIFICANT INCENTIVE$$$, TO ENCOURAGE THEIR STAFF TO GET VACCINATED. YAY, #1! On road to OKC from Denver. Old Chicago just off I-70, exit 159, to the North and a teensy bit back West ~ but WATCH OUT for the ROUNDABOUTS upon exiting. Yes, I realize they're a good construct to aid traffic flow, but, YIKES!!! I wasn't expecting them (there are several in succession, in all directions) so navigating was a little tricky ~ and, it didn't seem like other drivers were either. Okay. You've been warned. Informed of 10-20m wait for table seating by Dustin, a super friendly, deep- dimpled, polite, attentive young man. (Noon); no wait for a seat at the Bar. Yay, #2(!) ~ I'm hungry and, need to get back on the road in a timely manner. No issues with bringing my ESA, Millie, into the restaurant. Yay, #3! Opted for the $8.99 lunch special - 2 topping individual pizza (3 crust choices) along with choice of a Garden or Caesar salad. Pretty good deal! Yay, #4! Tanner, the Bartender, greeted Millie and me promptly and was professional and on his game. Let me know he'd be with me soon, but it'd be a minute. Tanner was true to his word. He knew the menu(s) and happily answered all my "foodie questions," YES, they have ANCHOVIES! Yay, #5! I was able to order and be served in lightening speed, after a very short wait. They have a garage door styled window that they opened for more bar access but, not before confirming with ALL bar patrons, the decision was "okay." NICE! Yay, #6! Lexi, one of the managers, easily identified because NOT wearing a black shirt, also checked to make sure my visit and meal were going well. Yay, #7! Garden salad was ample and adhered to my odd specifications. Yay, #8! Pizza on its way. Pretty certain it will be topped with just the "right" amount of anchovies and artichoke hearts. (Be jealous, all day long!) Ending review so I can enjoy the rest of this trip. Yay, #9! Ariel, BEST BARBACK, evuhhhr, plus, BEST HAIR in entire place. He made sure anything I needed was instantly provided. Give this man a RAISE! Yay, #10! #YelpReviewDone, Yay, #11! read more

Traveling from Denver to Columbus, we spotted a billboard advertising the Old Chicago pizza place in Russell and immediately decided to try it for dinner. Despite their name (Old Chicago Pizza), their menu includes a variety of appetizers, soups and salads, pizzas, wings, calzones, burgers, chicken and fish and chips (I may have missed something but you get the picture). The pizzas come in 3 sizes (individual, medium and large) and three types of crust (thick/Chicago style, thin and tavern). We ordered a medium thick crust Chicago 7 pizza which was basically the "works". The pizza was delicious / exceptionally good. The gal working the host stand and pickup area was great. Very personable and pleasant. Service was great. read more

we stopped at Old Chicago on the way between Kansas City and Denver, after a long road trip. As Chicagoans, we can confirm that the tavern-style crust is for-sure well-made, and it made us feel like home. The service was excellent, with wonderfully helpful servers. It really did feel like a chicago tavern in there, and was really fun. We especially loved the veggie pizza, and loved the fact that they put artichoke hearts on it. We loved it! Thank you Old Chicago! read more

Easy on and off from the highway. Pizza was really good and the service was beyond good. They have a shaded patio which was nice.

Website said closing is at 9pm. Sign on the door said "closing at 8pm until further notice". Walked up to door at 7:54, and the doors were locked. I understand if there are staffing issues in todays word. But if the sign on the door says 8pm, that's when you should lock the doors. I'll never go back. read more

I know this is a chain by the decor inside and I have been to one in Wyoming once before. I must say the pizza is pretty damn good. Not quite what I would consider Chicago Style Pizza but it was good in its own right. They have a ton of beers on tap and I had a couple local Kansas brews. A hef and a stout (in a can) which were both tasty grog. I sat at the bar of course, my favorite place at any restaurant. The bartender was awesome, by the name on the receipt his name was Anton. He remembered my name the whole time and checked on me often while keeping busy. Really great guy and a great bartender along with great food. Cheers! read more

After almost two weeks of travel to several different cites, my husband and I decided on Old Chicago Pizza in Hays, KS for our last dinner on the road. It was a great choice! I had the Bacon Cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and waffle-cut fries: Absolutely delicious, ordered medium to medium-well so none of the burger was pink inside, but was juicy and full of flavor. The fries were cooked just right, not too dark, and piping hot. My husband had spaghetti & meatballs. It was a huge dish of spaghetti in red sauce with 3 large meatballs, and he loved it. It was just what we needed: good solid food, served hot and exactly what we expected. It's days like this when every travel day is an adventure & sometimes the restaurants are a gamble...we knew we could count on Old Chicago Pizza, being a well-run chain, to deliver on exactly what we wanted! Our server Jacy was attentive and a pro. We were at dinner early (5:30 PM on a Thursday), so the restaurant was fairly quiet when we arrived, with the music not too loud--which we always appreciate! We could hear it as a lovely background to our dinner, but no one had to shout to be heard. A wonderful evening out in every way. read more

I went here last night, AKA Black Friday around 6:30pm with my family. We only had less than a 5 minute wait to be seated. Once we were seated we ordered drinks. 3 of us ordered beer. The beer took forever to get to our table. Close to 10 minutes. We then order the food. Old Chicago was busy tonight. Every table was full. The food took an hour to be brought to our table. It was cold when it came, too. And then they didn't even bring everything, which is a huge pet peeve in my book. They brought 4/5 entrees and said the last one would be out in 3 minutes. 3 minuets came and went and no food. It took over 10 minutes. Most of us were almost finished, so it was very annoying. I ordered the double bacon and cheese burger. It was pretty good. It was a huge portion. My fiancé ordered the wings and said they were very good. My dad ordered the pork belly burger. He also said it was delicious. He did say it was on the smaller side. He wasn't full afterwards. My step mom ordered the nachos. The portion was huge! They did not skimp on the toppings! And finally, her grandson ordered the stuffed artichoke chicken pasta. This was the dish that took forever to get to the table. He said the chicken was good, but the pasta was awful. He said it tasted like canned spaghetti o's. I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 because I feel like they had a bad night and their service wouldn't regularly be this horrible. read more

Does not have an updated menu on their website. Although they did make up for their mistake through adequate customer service. The feel of the room was a little off putting, but to me that's just because of the store layout. All in all, it was a good stop but I would not plan a trip solely to dine there. read more
