    All the way dog.
    Karen N.

    This bourbon girl really wanted an Old Fashioned. I guess a Manhattan is all an airport bar can make. Drinks were great and I finally had a chance to try the hot dog. Darn good. The woman who was sitting next to me said it was the best she ever had. She asked for another. No complaints here.

    Alfredo a bartender was very nice immediately upon walking in. I rarely leave reviews , but I had been strolling the airport for 20-30 mins trying to find a place to grab a drink or two for my 5 hr layover . Got my first drink because he greeted me the moment I walked in and was patient felt that deserved at least one drink . He Consistently asked if I wanted another and was genuine and nice to everyone I saw him interact with while I was here... that being said I stayed for more than just one , two or even 3 drinks . Simply for the hospitality he showed . If you've been in an airport you know it's hit or miss with employees . If you want to enjoy a drink with a Hospitable bartender . Stop here . You won't be dissapointed . Most of their drinks are bottled few are on tap , they also have a full bar .they are located around the corner from the food court between H&K.

    Chicago Style Hot Dog
    Giorgio N.

    It was tasty with fun toppings, but they beef they used for generic hot dog meet. I was hoping for Polish sausage like real Chicago style hot dog. Still it's not bad and fairly priced for airport food.

    This man is the only person in the state of Illinois that was a jerk to me about breastfeeding as he refused to give me ice for my milk cooler during my 4 hour flight delay. As he only said "No, I'm too busy" I just have to assume he's a half-assed barkeep. My friends in the business could make a drink while doing 15 other things simultaneously. #badkarmawillcometoyou

    Chicago's Revolution Brewing's craft IPA, "Anti-Hero"
    Mark D.

    After having a 1 star experience with a bar at gate K-3, I walked further down the concourse to K-10 to discover Skyscrapers. It was not crowded at all and had a clean, bright atmosphere. Once again, I have a review that is based greatly on the actions of a single employee. This person would be the bartender, Carmen, a Romanian beauty with a most intriguing accent and an effusive personality. She made sure all her patrons were happy. I ordered a Goose Island IPA on tap. When she poured it, it just looked a little off color with too much foam. She immediately poured it out and said no way she'd serve that to me. I was going to order a Goose from the bottle, when she suggested another local IPA instead, Revolution Brewing's Anti-Hero. This was a very good IPA I would not have experienced if not for her. And since I was leaving Chicago, I decided to get one more Chicago Dog. You would think an airport bar would have a fairly corporate bland Dog, but their's was actually pretty good, with the requisite sport peppers and poppy seed bun! I finished up with a chilled shot of Jameson. It was a nice pour, but a tad expensive, but that's just how it is at the airport. I was having such a GOOD time with Carmen and the other patrons that when I glanced at my phone, I saw that my flight was boarding, and I had to beat a hasty exit! All in all, one of my better airport bar experiences, and I've had quite a few!

    Chicago Vienna Beef Hot Dog at O'Hare Airport

    Well if you're stranded or have sometime between flights, I recommend this great little airport bar. It is little, but its got big Chicago O'Hare Airport heart. I recommend the Vienna Beef Chicago Hot Dogs. You must order it fully loaded, if you don't you ain't living

    First time in Chicago so I had to try the national sandwich of Chicago! Al's beef has been serving…read moreup Italian Beef sandwiches since 1938. They have won several awards for their sandwiches and are said to have the best Italian Beef in Chicago. With all this being said, this was certainly a must eat on my trip! Their menu consists of their famous Italian beef, along with Chicago dogs, burgers, sausage sandwiches, chicken, and fries. There is definitely something for everyone here. The inside is casual and reminiscent of a fast food eatery. Really liked the yellow accents throughout the restaurant. I will also note that it was extremely clean inside, which is always appreciated. Ordering is simple and they will call your ticket number when your food is ready. All the food is served made to order and very fresh and doesn't take too long to come out! I ordered the Regular Beef, wet, with both hot and spicy peppers per the workers suggestion. Ordering the sandwich wet simply means the bread is dunked in the gravy/aus jus. If you want the real deal, this is how you order it. The peppers are optional as well, but complete the sandwich. The sandwich consists of their famous Italian beef roasted and sliced, served on freshly baked French bread. I can see why this sandwich is so highly regarded. The Italian beef that is made in house each day is tender, flavorful, and just perfect! It isn't chewy or tough either. The sweet and spicy peppers paired nicely with the savory beef. And the fresh French bread covered in the gravy--phenomenal! The gravy adds a lot of flavor to the sandwich. You do have to eat it quickly, otherwise the bread will fall apart, oh but it is so worth it. I got fries with a side of cheese sauce to go with the sandwich. By far some of the best fries I've had. Not super crispy, but not soggy either, the texture was just right. They were salted perfectly and dipping them in their velvety cheese sauce was a treat! A regular sub is roughly 6 inches and quite filling. The sandwiches are stuffed with ample amounts of beef. The price is also excellent considering how much you get. Overall, I would say Al's Beef lived up to all its praise. My sandwich was very memorable and was like nothing I'd had before. Everything is so fresh, between their beef, bread, and fries, it is all made in house. This isn't just some fast food spot, it is an institution. I was impressed with everything I ordered, especially the fries. They take a lot of pride in what they serve. This is evident in their customer service. If you are visiting Chicago, don't think, just go--you won't regret it!

Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

I joked that we should start every day with one of these sausages, and while we didn't actually do that, I feel like that would've only enhanced our trip.
