Looking for a quick bite me and a friend pulled off the highway and one of the first places we saw was Old Chicago. Neither of us generally go for chains but we were in a hurry and were both familiar with it, and also knew they had a good variety of things t choose from. The hostess seemed to skip us a few times but who knows, we were pretty burnt out from the road and were just trying to relax a bit. After 20 minutes or so we were seated and ordered some sodas and the pepperoni rolls - which are always good. When my friend told the server she wanted a burger she was asked if she wanted fries with it. After saying yes the server asked her if she wanted "ranch" fries. We said we hadn't heard of them and she said they were "kind of famous" for them. So of course she said yes to them. When I ordered a chicken pesto panini I got the same question, only she said I should try the "jerk" fries, so we could share. Sounded reasonable enough. Food shows up and the panini was pretty much soaked in oil, and very soggy. The pesto tasted like it was weeks old, and the chicken was a few dried up chunks. Easily the worst panini I've ever had. Oh yeah, and those fries pretty much sucked too. The were cold and tasteless, you can't sprinkle seasoning salt on something that isn't good to start with and expect it to be great. Then it hit me, the only reason I ever went to an Old Chicago was to drink and being on a road trip we couldn't enjoy a few cold ones. After a few beers the food isn't too bad, so if I ever find myself in an Old Chicago again I'll be sure I am able to drink! read more

This is one of our favorite family places to go. We always have a great time here. The food here is awesome. Although a little pricey, it is well worth the money. The pizza is very good, as is the Calzones. Because of the size, my wife & I ordered one Calzone today to split and was given 2 small ones instead. This was the perfect size, I am stuffed! The service is uneven. As with most places, you have good and bad servers. There are a lot of good servers, but if you get there at shift change (4 pm) it does get a little worse. Most of the servers want to get out and may abandon you. However, the good news is that they do a good job keeping servers from quitting. So, if you do find a good server, get their name and ask for them when you go in next time and you will get consistently good service. In all, this is a great restaurant to go into. I highly recommend it. read more

Its a small step above Applebee's, and mostly just for the beer selection. Food is average for a chain restaurant. Really nothing special or imaginative. read more

My first time here was a huge disappointment. It took 30 minutes for our appetizer to arrive, when the waitress told us the food would take just as long, we ordered our entrées. They arrived 6 minutes later while we were still working in the appetizer of pizza rolls, which were the best part of the meal. I got the spaghetti pie and it was stone cold in the center. I asked for water twice and never got it. The waitress was very apologetic for everything. I won't be back. read more

Decent food, they have crave-able nachos. They are so good! Tried the buffalo cauliflower, it didn't seem cooked long enough. Told our waitress and she was so nice about it. The manager stopped by and apologized, it's nice to go to a restaurant where there is great customer service. Would definitely recommend eating here. read more

I see that this place is listed under pizza, but it's got that and so much more. My absolute favorite here is the Old Chicago Burger and the Stromboli. Their pizza rocks of course. Now, a lot of people come here for the drinks, but since I don't drink so I can't say anything about that. When I was going to Wichita State, we would come here a lot on the weekends to eat and shoot pool. Great place to meet friends and hang out. They've got a west side branch and a downtown branch as well. Oh and their spicy fries and ranch fries are great as well. read more

Terrible service on a Sunday. Waitress hardly paid attention to our table and did not give us what we asked for. We had to ask other servers for spoons, to go boxes, our check. On top of that, the server added extra tip on my check and their manager never called me back. I will file dispute with my bank and have them take care of it. Will never go back there again. Have already warned my friends and family. read more

They have some spectacular servers, and I'm never disappointed in the food. From their house salad to their pizza, it's always delicious! My boyfriend and I both work nights as servers, so this is great when we want to go have drinks and/or dinner after work! read more

A chain that I had never heard of until I moved here. It's a good deep dish pizza place that has a bunch of other stuff on the menu and a ton of beer on tap. It was quite loud, which was a plus for us and our three kids( it drowns out the kid noise). It's good if you want "normal pizza". Try Il Vicino for an even better pizza. read more

The food here was a little shaggy the pizza and the pepperoni is kinda chewy not to mention the meat is really dry too! I guess it's a decent place to eat and our waitress was nice. read more

I've been to old Chicago many times but never after 10pm... last night (July 4th 2019) my boyfriend and I were hungry after the fireworks show so we went to really the only place open. We ordered pepperoni pizza rolls, grilled bone in chicken wings, and chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes... the pizza rolls weren't cooked all the way through-there was raw dough in the middle... the NEW grilled chicken wings had absolutely NO MEET on them ( they were so little I thought it was a joke) AND the worst part was the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes--- the mashed potatoes were COLD!! Almost like frozen!!! When the manager came out he was extremely rude about it as if it were our fault for coming in so late... although the kitchen didn't close til 2am!!! They took the chicken fried chicken meal to warm them up but we didn't bother eating it when they brought it back out because the manager was so repulsive we were actually scared to eat it... not sure what he may have done to our food in the back because he was so annoyed by us... needless to say we have never experienced such bad or poor service from this location until last night!!! Anyway I never write a review... this is actually my first time!!! I just felt obligated to say something... everything would have been ok if it weren't fir the managers attitude!!! read more

Not good service. Seems management has not trained staff properly. The only good thing about this place is the food.

Just tried the new NY style thin crust pizza...it was greasy but really good. Great drink selection, just wish this place wasn't so expensive. read more

I came here on a late Saturday night just for some drinks to catch up with an old friend. I had a Pomojito and she had the OC Iced Tea. Mine was fruity and very limy, with almost no taste of alcohol, so I guess it was like a hard limeade. Hers was sweeter and pretty light on alcohol too. After that, we both had some wine because it was $4 wines during their late night happy hour specials. read more

A good place to hang out in Old Town. The food is tasty from soup, salad, and pasta. Not so much for pizza. I mean, the pizza is decent but not to compare with the ones served in Chicago. They have a good selection of beer. Friendly service, too. read more

Great service! Great food! Manager took care of most our bill because our food took too long to make which we didn't even notice we were good with the amount of time it took but we appreciated the generosity and thoughtfulness of the management!!! read more

The food is decent but not enough to continually come to this establishment for their poor customer service. I came on a Friday night, not as busy as usual. There were plenty of empty booths on the right side of the restaurant, the waiter promptly said we would have to sit on the left side on the high top bar side. And if we wanted to sit at a booth, we would have to wait awhile... so we sat at the high top bar side and our lungs continued to fill with the poisonous odor of cigarettes. Amazing... read more

This place was the first dinner I had in my business trip. We were looking for a quick spot to eat and stumbled into this place. It felt like Applebee's, but when we got the food, it was actually better. I would've rated it better, but the waitress didn't bring my silverware even after I asked twice. I had to go up to the greeter to get the silverware which was a little rude. read more

I knew the pizza was good but the hamburgers are pretty good too. Good service too which always makes the experience solid. Thanks OCPT!

Just love this place...the food is always amazing and the staff just rocks!!!! No matter what the hour OC is always serving hot food along with a very long list of beer from all over the world. read more

I miss the old building, which has now been replaced by the generic Old Chicago building. The food isn't terrible, but nothing that has me wanting to come back either. Terrific selection of beers and the beer tour is fun. Unfortunately with most of the bottles coming in at over $5, this is not a place you want to try to get drunk at. Even the pitchers of domestic beer are over $10. read more

Service is terrible. Took 30 minutes to get a salad. Many service staff just standing around. No team work. Never bring a large group in. Almost 50% of reviews say something similar so it is quite obvious they don't care about service. read more

We come to this location 3+ times per week. We frequently order food and drinks. One time when we could not finish our order they refuse to give us a box. We are not abusing the $2 appetizer policy but good service would give us a freaking box. We even offered to pay extra for the box and they refused. Terrible terrible customer service. There are a few great servers but management and most servers are terrible. read more

My husband and I came for an early dinner around 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. The dining area only had a few tables (as I believe most people at this time requested bar seating). Our waiter took great care of us and our drinks were filled often. Our appetizer and meals arrived fast and were delicious. Overall a great experience! read more

Well it it has finally happened after 10 years of eating at old Chicago I have finally had a average to below average meal lunch today burger was not very good and service was slim. read more

Was cruising for lunch after shopping nearby with my parents and was greeted with friendly service and a neat atmosphere. Waiter was attentive and filled drinks up and checked up on us a lot. Ordered the Chicken Fetucinni Alfredo and was greeted with a crunchy garlic bread and loads of Alfredo pasta and plenty if chicken. Few tough bits but good, the noodles were a gelatinous mob of tough chewy over cooked noodles. Would've been better off with the club sand which. read more

Great food, but service leaves a little to be desired. Everyone was nice, but the hostess that seated us seemed really annoyed to be there. We asked if we could have a booth, and she rolled her eyes and said sure. I saw her just be annoyed with everyone who came in. Waitress was nice, though. read more

I ordered a stromboli. I ate half of it and realized there was no meat. Apparently, my stromboli was switched with that of a vegetarian. (They apparent;y took a bite with the meat!) However, the manager reacted well enough by giving me a free meal. Pretty decent response in my opinion. read more

I've only been here a couple of times with friends, and I have to say so far all of my experiences here have been good. The food is pretty good, prices are a bit too high but aren't too crazy, and servers have always been nice. The reason I give it three stars instead of five though is just because I know many people do not have a good experience like I have. Just the last time I went here with my friends as we were walking to our seat another couple got up out of their booth and begin leaving, a waitress ask them why they were leaving and they said they have been waiting 30 minutes for her to take their order but still hadn't, The waitress tried to stop them by apologizing and saying she'll take their order, but they said it's too late and left. And judging by reading the other reviews on here I can tell that kind of terrible service must be very prevalent here. So while my personal experiences have been good here, I can tell that's not the case for many people. read more

No one that works here seems happy about it. Hostesses did not smile did not say hello. Waitstaff is slow and did not smile either. My tea glass sat empty for quite a while. Food was fine but nothing to write home about. Restaurant was not very busy, now we know why. read more

Unless you really want to have a drink along with your meal, you can find better places to eat. I have tried their pizzas and calzones and they were both average. Pretty cool atmosphere, but I don't find the quality to be worth the price. read more

I go to Old Chicago at least once a week sometimes even twice. Usually go to the Old Town location since it's closer to me but I was meeting a friend here. Bradley was our server & he was THE worst server I have ever had in my life!!! He was rude starting off. I was on the phone when he came to get our drink order & I heard him say as he stood there, "So I guess I'll just have to wait... Or maybe not" then he walked off. He kept rushing us to order. Then we were done eating, just watching the football game & drinking, he kept asking were we ready for our ticket (once again rushing us). We would've ordered 3 more beers if it wasn't for him being so rude trying to rush people out. I still gave him $3 tip because I was a server before so I know what it's like to make a living off of tips. The food was amazing as always (wings, pizza rolls, nachos, beers is what we ordered) but the service was so horrible makes me never want to go back to this location... read more

Absolute the worst service we have received by any restaurant in a long time. The hostesses were not friendly and did not provide any level of customer service whatsoever. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was no one waiting and we were told it would be a 30 minute wait. After an hour, and watching everyone seated before us, we approached the hostesses and voiced our concerns. The two ladies said they could not do anything and we were free to leave. We should have requested a manager but I doubt it would have made a difference at this place. I would not recommend this place to anyone that values any kind of customer service. read more

Cockroaches Not the best not the worst server's try During football season very loud people cheering at the game management seems to be focused on the game instead of the customers off season great place to eat and hang out with friends the food is pretty decent the whiskey burger awesome the staff is very friendly and try their best to accommodate you sometimes they succeed and others they fail but the best experience is to come after football season during you will have a lot of "LOUD" yelling it's quite annoying actually...The drinks are pretty much not worth the price but I prefer to drink at home.... Since the cost of booze is cheaper at the liquor store the bar tender melody is pretty easy to get a hook up with if you know what I mean.How ever The cockroaches in the bar area have got to go this place needs an health inspection The liqour store is a better place to get a great beer half the price.They really need a mixologist. The drinks aren't worth the money! read more

Had a business lunch here, got the buffet. Pizza was pretty good. Only complaint was the waitress constantly interrupting our conversation to ask if everything was okay. Five or six times in 40 minutes is excessive. Especially when she interrupts whoever is talking at the table. Good food, annoying staff. read more

We were in Wichita to visit our daughter, her boyfriend, and baby, and decided to go out to dinner. Her boyfriend was doing some sort of Beers Around the World promotion they had going. We also had our 2 kids with us, 11 yrs old and 7 yrs old. They had a kiddie menu for them, and they enjoyed their food. It's the usual fare, pizza, chicken nuggets, mac n cheese. But they liked it. I ordered an appetizer, the cheesy fries. I'm sure that's not the right name, but that's what they were. With bacon toppings. They were very good, and it was a large serving. My daughter ordered the Nachos Grande, which she shared with my husband. They both really enjoyed it. My husband also tried my cheesy fries, and said the Nachos were much better. My daughter's boyfriend ordered a burger, which was huge and it looked delicious. All in all, the food was great, the atmosphere was nice. There were several TVs positioned around the dining room and the bar. Although, it was pretty dark in there. Us older folks had trouble seeing our menus. We had to use our phones' flashlights to see, the lighting was that low. And our waitress was a little...shall I say, slow? She didn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed; but the problem was that it took a while to get our food (which could've been the kitchen's fault), to get refills, to get our check. She was also easily confused by a joke my daughter made about me wanting the biggest margarita. She got confused because I had already asked her for a Dr Pepper. But other than the slowness of the waitress, it was really good. read more

The trip down the Kansas Turnpike from Topeka to Wichita almost always inspires a trip to Old Chicago. I've been going to Old Chicago since I was a teenager in Colorado at what I assume is restaurant #1 in Boulder, CO. My standby order has always been "The Chicago Seven" but today I tried one of the featured pizzas, "The BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger." If I see the three letters BBQ on a menu I'm usually game. I was tonight, and was blown away. Ground beef, shredded cheese, green onions, bacon, diced tomatoes, fried onion shreds, (some accidental stray pieces of chicken and green pepper) and a VERY generous slathering of a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce made for a magnificent pizza. If only they knew how awesome those two stray pieces of green pepper were in the mix. I'd suggest trying it with the green pepper. That fresh burst of flavor was incredible--and FWIW, I'm one of those people who isn't wild about the excesses of green pepper on pizzas, but in this instance found an exception. read more

I hate ordering from here but it's the closest to the house. Called in to make an order. I was placed on hold for over 10min. Had my girlfriend call who was with me and she was put in hold the services before me yet I called first. I would go to the downtown location if you have the option. Better customer service. read more

110 kinds of beer but half of them are just normal beers you can find at any local liquor store. Ordered a Chicago style pizza...not quite a deep dish but it tastes ok. I think I'd rather go to BJs. But the beer selections I got were very tasty. The left handed milk was a nice stout. Some other Colorado brews were worth tasting too. Some of the dark beers were surprisingly light but had some nice flavor. read more

Ordered a large deep dish pizza and it was dry, over-cooked, little sauce and almost no cheese. Side house salad had about 4 small chunks of lettuce and a ton of small carrot pieces. Service was very slow and inattentive. I used to love this place but it is going downhill. read more
