We had a great lunch today at Old Chicago. I had the cheddar burger my wife enjoyed a lunch pizza and salad. I always like the beer selection and found a local brew I hadn't tried before today. The only problem we had was getting seated. The host seemed to be absent, or off doing other things. We took the initiative and sat at the bar where our bartender took great care of us. read more

Very poor experience the last couple of times, very slow despite not being busy, order was wrong. Spilled a drink and the female manager was very rude and dismissive. read more

We had been travelling for 2 months and were desperate for some GOOD pizza. We passed this place on the way to our hotel and decided to give it a try. The inside is very nice. I loved all the brick and the decor. My friend ordered one of those drinks that come in a hammered copper cup, and she said it was very good. I ordered a salad appetizer that was fresh and came with some really good ranch dressing. All good. My friend ordered some garlic french fries that looked good, and she said they were good, but that's not my thing so I didn't try them (she loved them). We shared a plain cheese pizza and ordered it WELL DONE. The pizza was delicious, and came out well done, exactly how I ordered it. I like my pizza almost burned, and they cooked it perfectly. We were SO happy to finally have good pizza. We topped our meal off with a warm chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. The prices were VERY reasonable, the inside was clean and friendly, and the service was exemplary. All good, no complaints. When my travels bring me back to Wichita, I'll be back - for sure! read more

We met two of our adult daughters for dinner on Father's Day evening. Service was about what I've come to expect, the wait staff appeared short handed but managed adequately under the circumstances. My food, however, was an atrocity. I went with the 9 piece boneless wings with the dry Memphis Rub. That was a mistake. What was sent out a "boneless wings" was nothing more than chicken nuggets with an extremely hard breading. There was rarely any rub/spice adhering which would leave me believe they had not been freshly cooked and promptly seasoned. If they were, they rub would have adhered to the crust. The texture of the crust/breading was so hard that it caused a crown on one of my teeth (a molar) to become dislodged. The only thing good about the visit is that I didn't swallow the crown. However, I will have to incur expense today visiting my dentist to have the tooth surface prepped and the crown re-planted on top of an extremely over priced and unsatisfying dinner. It has been a while since we visited Old Chicago and it seems our next visit will likely be well into the future. That's a shame as I want to help the food and hospitality sector more quickly recover from the economic disaster of the last 18 months. We'll choose to spend our discretionary income elsewhere. read more

Food takes a really long time to get out!!! Service could be better but all around good food, and friendly waiters

Ordered carry out. Wanted to pay with a gift card. The card was valid, but it was a couple years old and from when they were under different ownership and their system wouldn't accept it, so the manager said. He was nice, I just feel like in that situation I'd put it on the house. At least that's how similar situations were handled in restaurants I've worked in in the past. Also they forgot the ranch which comes with the calzone I ordered, and the food was cold. read more

My daughter and I stopped by for lunch a few days ago. The dining room was pretty empty, there were two other parties aside from us and one of them had already finished. They sat us and waited about 15 min. Nobody ever came by to take our drink orders, I looked around and couldn't see anyone. Finally, one other young lady stood by close to where we were, I made eye contact with her and she quickly looked away... waited 5-10 more minutes and decided to go somewhere else - on our way out the hostess was leaned over the hostess station doing God knows what and said, "Have a nice day" there were no other people there and she had to have known we were the last customers to arrive! Customer service was HORRIBLE, operated by a bunch of kids that could care less about anything. Never going back there again. read more

Since my arival to Wichita, I have been looking for that mom and pop hole in the wall that fills our bellies and makes us smile big. While Old Chicago is neither a mom and pop or a hole in the wall, it was clean and the menue is varied. Picture Applebees meets Pizza Hut and you get the idea. I worked at Dominoes Pizza for 8 months, so I do have a good idea what pizza is all about. While there are several non-pizza items to choose from, I wanted to taste the item that put Old Chicago on the map. I bellied up to the bar and ordered The "Old Chicago" personal size Pizza and waited. They have a large selection of beer on tap. I am not much of a beer drinker, but I do know pizza and beer are the two foundations in the triangle of fun. The Pizza was very good. The crust had a slightly sweet taste to it. The cheese was a wonderful gooey mess, but tasted spectacular. I liked that the toppings had a more natural made in you kitchen look to them. All-in-all, a great experience and some good food. read more

The bar at this place SUCKS! Can't get an actual liquor order right.. ordered scotch neat, got it on the rocks. Buddy ordered tequila neat, came on the rocks with EXTRA ice. Sent it back, comes back with way too much damn ice and basically thrown at me on the fly. Explain to the waiter it's not his fault, would like a scotch neat, still get it with a cup full of ice and a cup full of bullshit attitude from server... (Food is good)... go somewhere else if you're entertaining customers. read more

Planned on going to Longhorn next door but they were packed. Went to old Chicago instead. They sat us near the back with several other Latino families. This seemed somewhat deliberate. Ironic during Latino Heritage Month. understand why other restaurants packed and they still had capacity. Won't return. read more

Let me start off by saying I am very lenient when it comes to my service: I have been a waitress for years, so I am very understanding when things come up... That being said, I am never very impressed by OC's service. Normally I go to the downtown location, and it's typically so-so. Last night, we came to this location around 8 or 9 o'clock. It didn't seem very busy: there were about three employees up front just standing around chatting as we walked in, and they greeted us cheerfully and we got sat right away. Okay, so far so good. We ended up sitting in that corner for about 15 minutes before anybody came up to even get our drink order! Many servers walked right by us, but not one bothered to ask us if we had been helped yet. Finally, a girl came up to us, 'How long have you guys been here? I'm sorry! I have a huge table in the back, and I've been working all day. From this point on I will do my best to be more attentive!' Okay, fair enough. I've had days like that too. We ordered waters, and I ordered a sampler of their Rogue Ale, because I planned on having a beer or two. 'Okay, I'll be right back!' Then we sat, and sat, and sat for at least another 10 minutes. I had given her a chance to redeem herself, and we didn't see her face again. Well, if we hadn't even gotten our drinks yet, and the service was this bad, I really did not want to stick around see what disappointment dinner would bring. As we were starting to get up and put on our coats, a different server finally came up to us, 'Have you guys been helped yet?' Sorry... We're just on our way out the door. I understand being busy, and I understand being tired. As a server, if I don't think I can handle my tables, I pass them off to somebody who is not as busy. Although this was my worst experience at OC, it is not too far off from typical service. If it's a recurring pattern, it's not usually the servers... it's a sign of bad management. The manager's job is to manage people, and oversee everything going on. For us to sit there for almost half an hour with no drinks, and hardly any service and a manager not to catch on to that? It's not a big deal, I just probably won't be back. read more

Love love this place! Today I went of the box and order a different salad for the first time. I always order crispy chicken but since I'm doing Keto, I ordered the Italian Chef said. And omg, really good! Not sure how this place is rated only 3 stars but it is worth way more. You get so much food for the price. We always take half home and therefore it's a 2nd meal. My kids always love their pizza. I've also always had the nicest waiters. Their customer service is awesome. read more

So, I would never come to a place like this, but got dragged-in by friends. It took forever (10 minutes) to get any service once seated. It took forever (10 minutes) to get our order taken. It too forever to get an appetizer (15 mins). Asked for another beer. No beer was forthcoming. Server dropped a slice of pizza on me. Yes. Dropped pizza on me. As in, there is pizza on my leg. Thanks for that, glad I had shorts on. Pizza was marginally cooked ... doughy and barely cooked. Did I mention my second beer never arrived? And I am sure I mentioned the pizza slice on my leg? Just checking. This is not my kind of joint and experiences like this one just underscore that. Nothanks. read more

I have to admit that I picked this place purely because it was close to my hotel. That said it was a good light dinner. I had soup and an appetizer and was pleased with both. The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. Lastly - give the pomojito a try :) it was yummy!! That said - the pizza smelled amazing and if I was more hungry I would have ordered that. read more

This is crap. Even for Chicago "pizza," which this is not (whether that Windy City cassoulet is even itself pizza is another discussion), this isn't up to par. The "Chicago-style" is just a run-of-the mill pan pizza like at Pizza Hut. Sauce is run of the mill, toppings are your standard variety sausage blobs and the like, the cheese is salty mozzarella from the bag, the crust may as well come from frozen. It just isn't good. I should also add that I've eaten here twice and three times at the Old Town location. There appears to be a difference in the service, as in, the Old Town location seems a little more professional and competent. For example, at the eastside location I got laughed at when I asked if they had a white pizza ("WHITE pizza?? What is THAT?"), and another time it was apparent the server had no idea about the beers they serve, unable to distinguish a Belgian-style from an amber ale. Go to Bartelli's anyway instead for ICT's best REAL pizza, if you care enough to taste anything. read more

I'll start out by saying this is a great place to enjoy a wide a selection of beers and to catch some games with some friends. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's just another chain that specializes in pizza, pasta, and sandwiches. The night started out good with our waitress and she was holding a conversation with our group of 5 people. Then maybe she got a little too comfortable and was probably too ignorant and started with some racial jokes that were funny at first. I'm guessing because we didn't say anything then she just kept going and needless to say, no one was finding it amusing anymore. To give you an idea, I'm Chinese and she called me Jackie Chan and Wong Foo in reference to the movie with Wesley Snipes. We had nachos and their buffalo chicken rolls for appetizers. The nachos were average and the buffalo chicken was soggy and all you can taste was the wrap. I ordered Chicken Parm and only the spaghetti was enjoyable because the chicken felt like rubber. I'd stay clear of this location if you decide to try it for yourself. read more

Bad customer service, rude Asst Mgr makes excuses for simple, fixable mistakes and blames customers. Food does not taste fresh. Staying near in hotel. Will never return to this location. It was so bad I contacted corporate to see if there is a resolution. Watched bartender hold order receipts IN MOUTH and then stick orders to tap wall. Basic Restauranting rules ignored. read more

Good prices, great food, and a wonderful experience! I didn't have very many expectations when walking into Old Chicago. With Chicago being one of my favorite food destinations, I figured, I'd give it a try. When stepping into the restaurant, I already knew that pizza would be my meal of choice, of course, I was enticed by a number of other options available on the menu. Checking out the appetizer menu, I was tempted to try their nachos as I imagined the mozzarella, pepper jack, pepperoni, sausage, and banana peppers piled high on each chip, however, I figured, the Sicilian pepperoni rolls sounded much better. Wow, I was amazing by the flavor that came out of that roll, while not too overpowering, the roll was loaded with pepperoni and for a pepperoni lover, you will fall in love with this roll. Combined with ranch dressing, pepper jack, and mozzarella, the roll was amazing! For pizzas, they had a few different choices for the types including Chicago-style, Artisan, and NY Thin Crust. I was tempted to try to Thai Pie (Chicago-style), however, something at the last minute pulled me towards the Artisan Chicken Pesto Pizza. I tried making a few pita pizzas in my own in the past and figured I'd give a restaurant a shot at making me one. To my delight, the pizza was exceptional. The crust and the cheese were not one, as it was a layer of bread, sauce, then a layer of cheese, however, when you took that bite, it hardly even mattered. What made this pizza SO good? The combination of the normal chicken pesto pizza in combination with the caramelized onions! The sweetness of the onions really did the trick and put me in heaven! The restaurant's environment provides a sports bar type environment with at least eight HD televisions that are on different channels for you to enjoy while you done, so it can also be a nice hang out spot after work, even if you are not looking for a meal. read more

Good place to hang out with friends, watch game, and have a beer! We always order the Sampler Platter and Thai Pie. read more

Well well, Old Chicago not good ! Cold food, waiter seemed that he was sleeping. Pizza was cold, and way way overpriced. Good beer selection. Won't go back to eat. read more

Had the meat me and steak and cheese. Had a bogo and was right on the money. $7 for a 23oz beer......ok deal

I frequent the OC near my house (not in Wichita) so we stopped in for a late night snack and a beer. The beers on tap are cold and there's a ton of options. The pretzel was a little greasy for my liking and we got the sampler apps. Server was friendly and not in our face (thank you for that). I like the layout of this location as well, with the bar being the prominent part of the building. The prices on beer are more than you'd pay in most places, but that's across the board with their corporate. The parking lots surrounding it make it a maze to get to, but once you make it there, it's a good time. read more

Definitely going down. Waited 10 mins to get our beer order and place was a ghost town at 11:40 on a Saturday. Server never smiled and was low energy. Menu is pretty much pizza or salad and is just okay. Nothing special. Won't be going back -too many other places in Wichita. read more

Pizza's, both deep-dish and pan-size, are great and filling (in the restaurant). I just wish their order to-go or pick-up pizzas are the same. The last pizza I had after a long trip was surprisingly not as appetizing as sitting in the restaurant and dining in. Eat in the restaurant or just pop a Digiorno in the oven rather than order pick-up. read more

It's very inconsistent. Order a thin crust and receive thick crust, and vice versus. When they get it right the flavors are great! read more

Great service and good selection of beers and food. Always friendly staff. One of the favorites of my wife and myself. Staff and management always willing to make things right on the very rare occasion they are wrong. Beer tour is a fantastic gimmick that gives you am incentive to try new beers and the mini tours take that one step further. So far the changes made to the food, beer selection, and how the beer tours operate under the new owner, Craftworks, have been for the better. read more

Food is great! Came get twice a day between. First night, service was quick and on point. Did was great! Second night, did was great, service was over worked. I asked for a beer and declined water. Water came anyway. I ordered apps and main at the same time, she asked about preference of arrival and I didn't care when either arrived. Both, arrived at the same time.... Much much later. It took longer than expected just to order a drink. It took longer than expected to bring the drink. Pardon my abbreviated review. Fix is great. Servers "I think" are over stretched when it's busy. My durst night was slow. Second visit was busy. read more

We love dining here, enjoy the beers they have on tap! We also enjoy ordering from GrubHub, it's always fresh & delicious! We had one mix up, with GurbHub delivering the wrong order, before I could even call, OC was calling us! Ended up the manger making it right with us, quick delivery of our order from the manager, not waiting for Gurbhub! Very nice to see the manger doing his job, for great customer service! Thank you! Bad part... I can't remember the mangers name! Super friendly very nice tho! Love this place! & GurbHub when you just don't want to cook or get out! read more

The food is always good and the staff is friendly. Manager check with each table to make sure everything is to your liking. If you are not satisfied they will make it right which keeps me coming back! read more

A really good place to eat at night. The atmosphere actually reminded me of the time I went to Chicago, and it was great! The outdoor seating is perfect in the summer and the food is always good. I like the fact that they serve a lot of fries with their burgers and that their pizza is freshly made. Because of the construction on Kellogg it will be hard to get there, but it will be worth it, so go! read more

Surprisingly excellent selection of real craft brews with offerings centered around local with Colorado and California being the primary locations for out of state beers (makes sense given the Kansas location and the plentiful offerings from CO/CA). Seasonally appropriate with many Sours and Goses as well as quite a few IPA and IPA variations. The food was so so. I had the Jerk dry rub wings which were temperature hot and seemingly fresh chicken, but these were definitely not spicy and the flavor wasn't anything special, kinda boring for jerk seasoning actually. The service at the bar was fast and friendly, especially for around 1am! That was the other plus...this was the only open kitchen I could find nearby for a late night food offering. I'd come back but might try something different from the menu. Oh also, the happy hour prices for food and beverages are kinda crazy good (actually the regular prices are pretty damned good as well). read more

Great pizza. Had the classic deep dish and the crust was excellent. Very crowded but it was a Friday evening. It was very loud as well. But the pizza was worth it and we had enough to take home for lunch the next day. read more

So this place is usually good but geez! While I write this I'm still waiting on my food it's a slow Monday night and I order two half salads it took 35 mins for salads!! Now we ordered two orders of short wings sweet Thai chilli. We waited till 10 to order and we just got them at 10:30 so if you are hungry don't come here expecting to eat anytime soon read more

This is my FAVORITE restaurant in the whole city. I moved out of Wichita 2 years ago, but I still go to Old Chicago every single day whenever I go back to Wichita. The place has the best Sandwiches, best fries, great service. I simply love everything I have ever tried there. I have never walked out of this restaurant disappointed! Their pizzas are better than pizza places. And to top it all, they have a full bar. The best restaurant ever! read more
