    3.5 One of the airport choices at Food Hub 51 which was near our departure gate. Can order on the app but pick-up time was too long. Went to the counter instead and was faster. There is seating in that area but brought the food on the plane. Better Bacon cheddar burger with veggie toppings and fries were ok. I saw the patty cooking on the grill for a while so I thought would be dry but it wasn't.

    Why does this have such low ratings?? It's in an airport! What are you expecting? I for sure was not expecting the food to be so delicious. It's in an airport. It has no business being as tasty as it is. I got a breakfast sandwich and it came with tater tots. I hate having greasy, heavy food before a flight and was telling my husband this. But there we were. That first bite took me way off guard. The bacon was thick, with a lovely smoked flavor without any of the grease! The egg was a fluffy pillow of a bite! The bread! Oh. My. Gosh! The bread was so good. Like...are they baking it themselves? They can't be...can they? It's got great chew. The tots! A light crispy outside and the flakiest, hashiest potato pieces inside. Yes, you can get McDonald's, but this! This was beyond my expectations, which might be why I thought it was so good. There's plenty of seating for folks waiting for flights. I noticed some tables even had outlets for charging your electronics. Bathrooms are right there with a water bottle filling station too. So it makes for a very easy place to stop and gather your bearings before heading to your gate. It's clean and nicely lit, and pretty quiet. 10/10 would get again.

    Chicago hot dog and fries
    Kyja W.

    Got the job done! While waiting at my terminal for my flight home, I remembered that I didn't get to try a Chicago style hot dog while I was here on my short "long weekend" trip. Chicago dogs are my sister's favorite type of hotdog, so I wanted to make sure I had one for her while I was here. Searching for food at my terminal, I was a little panicked, wondering if I'd find a place that offered it for my lunch. A couple different workers I passed by suggested that RJ Grunts may have them, so off I went to check out their menu. Sure enough, it was my chance! The ambiance, of course, is very casual. It's a fast food restaurant in an airport--what do you expect? The line was short and while service was not the most smiley or friendly, they were polite enough and were pretty fast on getting orders cranked out. I ordered my Chicago hot dog, which came with fries. Prices are high, in my opinion. I paid a total of $18.79 (which included my tip. The side of fries looked equivalent to a small and the hot dog is standard size. Regardless, everything was tasty. The fries were hot and fresh. The hotdog was piled with the classic toppings. The relish was an interesting color, but perhaps (hopefully) that's normal?? I'm not sure why the reviews are so low, but I enjoyed everything. Thanks for completing my trip to Chicago!

    Poor service. Low quality beef for hamburger, cold fries, I did not even want to ask for hot fries.

    It's pretty simple with really high prices. Everything is made fresh to order but my fries were not fresh--they were lukewarm. I liked the burger. It was cooked perfectly. The hotdog was good too but I preferred hot, crisp fries and lower prices. Their prices are ridiculously high,

    RJ Grunts is well known for its burger and fries. I was at O'Hare in the international terminal and hungry so I stopped by. I decided to try their crispy chicken sandwich and I was not disappointed! Their bun was on the thinner side and very tasty, I would call it a premium bun--like Hawaiian sweet bread, but not as sweet--delicious! Pickles were fresh and of the dill variety, nice and tart, just the way I like 'em! Now to the crispy chicken--it was, in fact, crispy, with a light but delicious breading. The chicken filled out my bun nicely. It was thicker than your standard fast food chicken sandwich, but not too big. All-in-all, this was a surprisingly pleasant food stop at the international airport, definitely worth a try!

    It's airport food. You're going to spend a lot for mediocre food. It's fried food - it's edible but it's nothing to write home about.

    Literally mold on the bun they served. Reprehensible and vile they would serve this. Only come here if you want food poisoning.

    Horrible. There was tons of mold on the bun they served for the Chicago dog. My partner's bun was burnt to all hell. The only flavor you could taste was the tar of a hockey puck. This place is repugnant and vile and charging exorbitant fees to poison you. Don't come here. Save yourself.

    Buffalo chicken nachos

    The Original LEY Spot- so it's historically significant in the food world, and the place is regularly jammed full of people. Tables are small in consideration of the large portions (both a gripe and a compliment, I suppose). On that note, food was great- better than I had expected to be honest. Their new custom salad menu is pretty awesome as well. I think the majority of visitors will be pleased with the experience. Don't go too hard on appetizers. All portions are pretty generous.

For those who don't know, Small Cheval is the fast casual version of Au Cheval which I've had the opportunity to try in NYC. There's plenty of locations throughout Chicago so definitely make it a stop when you're in town. Now is it as good as Au Cheval? Definitely not but at one-third of the price point, it's hard to complain. The beef patties are well-seasoned with crispy edges and just the right amount of fattiness. My main complaint is that there wasn't nearly enough dijonnaise sauce or pickles, making this pretty dry. The bun was nicely buttered and toasted but almost took away from the contents inside the burger. The Famous Fried Chicken Tenders were also a good try. I could tell the chicken was clean & high quality but there was some flavor I couldn't quite place which made it a bit off-putting; thankfully it wasn't super noticeable especially with the sauces. The Golden Fries were delicious and paired well with the burger & tenders! Even the Cookies & Cream Milkshake was solid! Classic milkshake with a good balance of creaminess, sweetness, and texture from the cookie bits. The interior was also bright, spacious, and comfortable! All in all, really solid try!

It's like going to a burger place with a bar inside. I would also have to add with a side of a malt shop thrown in. The lady who took our order was very friendly. Both her and the guy making the shakes seemed competent and efficient. They were both just over worked. There was a rush when we came in so it put them behind. Everything was in good repair. There was no damage to the seats and tables and for the most part they were clean. The things that didn't work for me were the possible understaffing, and the lack of a good onion. I asked for raw onion on my burger. I inspected my burger for it and couldn't find it. So I asked for some more. She was very helpful and handed me a tiny container of minced onions. Apparently that's all they have. I do like a good slice of onion on my burger. If you're looking for a good quick bite to eat or a very tasty shake, this is a great choice! I would come back if the mood struck.

Yes they do give you a good amount of beef. -mango Italian ice 5 - I think they gave me a large size since they don't have a medium. A large is good for two people. This is one of the best ones I've had. Homemade and it tastes like eating mangos. -jalapeño poppers 4.5 - only reason I took off half a star is because one of them was missing a jalapeño and cheese. The others were fine. Not spicy at all.

Many of them are limp rather than crispy, and the oiliness is very noticeable, making them look soggy instead of crunchy. The cuts are inconsistent, with some fries being thick and others thin, which likely caused the uneven frying.

Employees were short and not really "welcoming" but it was near closing time but that should have no difference to the experience for the customer.
