My husband and I came here for lunch on a Thursday and had our baby with us. Walking in we were warmly greeted by the hostess and brought to our table. She asked us if we wanted a low table or a high table and if we needed a sling or a high chair. Our server immediately came over and got our drink order and let us look over the menu. Their menu has a lot of really good options from sandwiches to pizza and hamburgers. I decided on the Italian beef sandwich and my husband got the Halas Burger. The food came out extremely fast and was hot and fresh. My sandwich was a roast beef sandwich with onions, peppers and cheese dipped in au jus and severed with a side of au jus and Giardiniera. It tasted great. The flavors all went really well together and the giardiniera added a great crunch and slight heat to the sandwich. I got onion rings as my side, which were hot and crunchy. The Halas burger was a burger patty topped with an onion ring, mozzarella and boom boom sauce. The patty was well cooked and fresh. With the onion ring and everything else it was a great burger. The fries that came with it were hot and had good flavor. Windy City is a great lace to come and get some good food. I can definitely see it being a great place to watch a game and have a drink or two with friends or coming and just grabbing some food and hanging out with friends or family. We will definitely be back to try more things.

I stood at the counter waiting while she was focused on texting on her phone and did not acknowledge me for an extended period. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, "Are you ordering?" and then continued looking at her phone throughout the interaction. Her attitude came across as rude and uninterested in helping customers. The restaurant itself was also not clean. The drink station was dirty, the cola machine appeared unclean, and the floors were sticky throughout the dining area. While there were several employees working, there seemed to be a lack of teamwork and professionalism. At one point, an employee was loudly yelling "Give me a second!" across the restaurant to another team member, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for customers. Overall, the combination of poor customer service, employee distractions, and cleanliness issues made for a very negative experience. I will be hesitant to return unless significant improvements are made.

Rather than toss them in sauce they coat them in a rub: Original, Fire, or Blazin. Blazin is a bit on the hot side for me but okay if tried separately. The rubs are so tasty you don't even need the sauces, but they are flavorful as well. My favorites so far are the spicy bleu cheese and the spicy garlic. I thought the sweet chili lime was a bit too watery and didn't love the cilantro lime ranch but I really haven't gone wrong yet. I wish I could go more often but Big Kahuna is on the pricier side as far as wings go, though the drum wings have a good amount of meat.

The chicken here is definitely good, maybe smaller in size compared to what I'm used too - regardless, flavor and crispiness is basically the same. What I found odd was that the menu was drastically smaller than the ones I've been to in Miami, which would offer other Korean staples like tteokbokki and fish cakes as additional side options. Maybe the Knoxville food scene just doesn't justify carrying those other options. I feel like this locations business is primarily takeout and delivery based since there was basically no other customers inside the physically restaurant dining in. Pricing is pretty crazy though compared to other local fried chicken options. Would not recommend the calamari as it was just average. Definitely recommending to just stick to the chicken if you do go here.

We were their with my son and friends, so did the $35 combo with 2 pizzas and 2 sides. The cheese pizza is fairly pedestrian, as is the cheesy bread. The positive here is the char the oven puts on the crust. The star was hte salad, which has strawbeerry and proscuito. They had run out of the correct lettuce mix for the salad, but I think I likely like it better with the spring mix we got. Proscuitto is a bit different than I am used to, but not a bad addition. It worked better on the pizza, which also had spinach and roasted garlic. Ended up with some leftovers, even for 5 people, so a decent priced experience. THe spicy marina sauce is the better of the tomato. The cream sauce worked well with proscuitto, spinach, and garlic. The spot is laid out nicely, with indoor and outdoor spaces. There are ample drink choices to choose from, including teas, lemonade, and the stadard coke products. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

On several visits, we have specifically requested that our garlic cheese bread and salad arrive before the pizza so we can actually enjoy the appetizer and salad course first. Tonight, we again had a very clear conversation about this request, yet everything arrived in the exact opposite order. What was most frustrating was being told that "the pizza comes out when the pizza comes out," as though there is no ability for the front staff and kitchen to coordinate timing. In an open-concept restaurant where the order staff and kitchen are working side by side, it seems like simple communication could easily solve this issue. We truly enjoy the food and want this restaurant to succeed, but proper pacing of a meal is part of good dining service. Appetizers and salads should enhance the experience -- not arrive simultaneously with or after the main course. We hope management will take this constructively because the food deserves service that matches its quality
