    BBQ chicken pizza
    Mike Z.

    Typical airport restaurant bar. The pizza was surprisingly delicious though and service at the bar was great despite it being quite busy.

    The line up!  Ready set order!
    Harry B.

    Service was great at the bar, ambiance was ok for an airport. The pizza was good!! So if you need a recharge before your next flight. Find the bartender and ask for a bloody Maria and order a pizza!!! Ready for the next flight. Thank you

    Food is good. Service is poor. Ambiance is okay. I ordered ham & egg sandwich. Make sure to order first before paying. They will not, remind you.

    Thai Chicken Wrap
    Belle S.

    Just landed in Chicago we took advantage of our 2-hour layover to grab a light dinner. After looking around for a bit, we decided to try Wolfgang Puck Express. Chris ordered the Caesar Salad with Chicken and I ordered the Crunchy Thai Chicken Wrap. Service was quick and the staff were very helpful as they assisted us make our choices. We sat a little quiet corner where we enjoyed our food. Great ambience despite the fact that it is in the middle of the airport! The wrap was huge and it was delicious! It was filled with crunchy peanuts, fresh veggies and it had tons of chicken! Chris's salad was ginormous! It was fresh and had the perfect amount of yummy caesar dressing with lots of chicken pieces!

    We had a layover in Chicago and had a bit of time before our flight. We dined here and had a good meal and tasty cocktails. The prices weren't outrageous for airport food. The fries were some of the best fries we have had and a steal at $4. Service was good and when we have a layover again, we may come back.

    Thai Chicken Wrap
    Marcus D.

    Ordered the thai chicken wrap and it was good. Crunchy veggies and the dressing wasn't over done, just right. Tasty and not a horrible airport value at under $20 ....but where's the chicken? Think there was a little bit in there but not much. Overall satisfied with the lunch.

    Wild Mushroom pizza
    Eric N.

    Pizza is okay, nothing special. The staff is cold and rude. I know this is an airport restaurant but basic kindness would be nice.

    Mediterranean Omelette and English Tea
    Manu A.

    So now you all know how exciting it is to eat at the airport. This was my first trying Wolfgang at O hare airport. Must say that I have been overall impressed. Quick service and they prepare the food in front of you(not a luxury that some big names give you). Ordered the Mediterranean omelette and I was happy as the portion sizes were good and so were the prices. The tea was basic tea bag affair but I wish they had coffee or maybe I didn't search enough. If you want to eat something decent, definitely recommend this place.

    Classic breakfast
    Tiffany F.

    The workers had customer service but the food wasn't worth it. We ordered the Classic Breakfast w/chicken sausage, eggs, toast and potatoes. The potatoes were dry and really they looked like potato wedges that were cut into halves. We threw the potatoes away. I asked for an over easy egg but my yoke was cooked too long.

    Chicken sausage is not that PINK! This was Pork
    Heather H.

    I was really disappointed that the menu said chicken sausage for the breakfast plate and it was definitely PORK! I don't eat pork and I was not happy. They also DUMP a ton of salt into the eggs. I had to ask the lady to not put salt. I will never order from here again.

    Goose island IPA
    Eli C.

    Service was good and it was a clean environment. I went with the baby kale and quinoa salad bc of the calorie count after being on vacation. HUGE salad and it was pretty good. Needed something to really bring it home, but it wasn't bad and I felt like I made a good healthy decision.

    3.5Not bad for an airport pizza. The workers are very nice, kind, and friendly, which is always refreshing when traveling, and the ladies at the cash register were putting smiles on people's faces. The pizzaiolo was kind of sketch at first since he tried to re-warm an already done pizza vs. making a fresh/new one, but after a minute, he decided to make it from scratch. This pizza was about $15. The place seems clean.

    Bloody Mary
    Garold T.

    Came in to enjoy a Bloody Mary at the airport. The last place messed it up with way too much Worcestershire sauce so I had to give the next place a try. Came in sat at the bar and talked with Michael S, couldn't ask for better service. He understood my frustration of trying to find a good Bloody Mary and helped me get the proper treatment I was looking for. If you ever come though Chicago airport make sure you look for Michael in terminal 3 gate K13

Their burger is great with two thin patties. The veggies and pickles with it is delicious. The bun is pretty good. The fries was decent. His breakfast is so much better than mine though! I tried everything on his plate and it was good! After we finished our meal, we also took some nice pictures at the balcony which you can see all the way to the Field Museum area on a nice weather day. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Grant Park area. We actually visited the cloud gate, fountain, The cultural center, Target/5 below, comic stores, route 66 sign, Chicago stock exchange arch, and the art institution all in that trip. Very convenient! Their reservation opens 2 weeks before. If we ever go back to Chicago, we will definitely visit them again. Hopefully I will complete my Invisalign treatment and can actual eat more food! The elevator is very "vintage" btw. We tried both the express and regular elevators and that was an interesting ride...

I actually don't like truffle or croissant but this was flaky, and the rock sugar (I think that's what it is?) on top is so addicting. the cream truffle filling was flavorful but not overpowering -- longanisa egg sandwich + hashbrown: 7/10 just wasn't a standout for me -- mushroom adobo: 8/10 it was flavorful - I would order again but not sure it's worth almost $20 for drinks, we both got the hot yam but my boyfriend got it iced and I got it hot -- it tasted better iced but it was still lacking in ube flavor. the coffee also didn't taste strong enough for me personally honestly I really wanted to like this place more but for almost $100 for everything and the long wait, I expected at least half of the items to be perfect but I felt like only the truffle croissant felt like a 10/10 for me I will say the staff was very sweet though -- maybe it's a better experience dining in, so I think next time I will wake up early to eat inside and hopefully be able to give a higher rating :-)

The salad, the thick-cut bacon, and the cheeseburger were delicious. I am not a fan of the truffle mac n cheese, but then again I don't really like truffle, so take that into consideration. Dessert was delicious! Apple Pie and ice cream were literally so good.
