    Hank after a bloody maria...
    Jennifer B.

    Last month, we stopped in here on our way to California and just had a couple of drinks. The drinks were good, but you can't really mess up whiskey when it served neat. This time, we actually stopped for by to eat and changed up the drinks from whiskey to bloody Marias. We ordered an Italian pizza, which cut up into about 6 slices and was covered with calabrian chilies red onions pepperoni and fresh basil. I have to admit, it was pretty good. The bartender Dan was very friendly and gave us his recommendation, and he was also very attentive to the other guests. We like him! The space overall is easy to get to and hang out in between your flights or convenient for a quick walk in/out for snacks n beverages. You can sit down or carry out everything from M&M's to an Italian Chicago-style thin crust pizza. It is located in concourse C next to the Jamba Juice. Come in and grab what you need before your next flight. Try the pizza and talk to the bartender Dan about Led Zeppelin...wink wink. He'll get you set up right! Just be prepared for airport prices, which is the only reason I gave 3 stars.

    Exquisite menu! I ordered the sea bass, it was humongous! Tasted great but was not expecting the head to still be attached. Drinks were excellent!!!

    After the second delay on our evening flight, we decided it was probably time to grab some dinner and given that this restaurant is located very near gate B6, it worked out very well! Their offerings included soup, sandwiches and brick oven pizzas that were surprisingly good. Me and a buddy shared a bowl of butternut squash soup as well as a mushroom and truffle pizza. Both were very good, but the fact that the two of those with a couple of pops came to about $30 was a bit off putting. C'est la vie in the O'Hare airport. The pizza was not overly large, but had six decent size pieces and was very flavorful for having been made in an airport. The brick oven they are cooking it in was actually pretty legit and got things done pretty quickly. The biggest down in here was the price on the pizza. It was $13.99 for a pizza that probably should've been like half that price. I am all for the supply demand curve, but the supply of food in the airport is rather high so I feel like the prices to come down a bit. That said, they know I'm a captive audience. Definitely first world problems. The butternut squash soup was also very good. Very creamy and pretty filling. It was nice to be able to dip the excess crust in the soup. The pizza and soup was plenty for a couple of us, but I stated previously the bill for a pretty small meal was a little excessive. They're definitely stressing the bounds of what people are willing to pay for slightly above average food, but that said we gladly give them more money. There's a nice bar to sit out here with plenty of beer options as well as a couple TVs. Not a bad place to spend a half an hour if you're otherwise going to be sitting at my gate. The good spot to go, especially if you have any airlines archer to help make the bill a little more palatable.

    Hate to give bad reviews but very little good to say here. Sat at bar after someone else left. No greeting. Area was dirty. Should have walked right away. Two groups came in minutes after me and bartender served them first. Hate that. Finally gets to me. Takes order. Have to ask her to clear spot of prior occupants detritus and wipe bar. (Offered to help. Busy, but I've seen a lot worse.). Order a tequila sunrise with a call tequila. She tells me they don't have it. I point to bottle across from me. No sorry or oops. She was just annoyed it was in vodka "section". Notice the place is generally a bit dirty. Order the breakfast pizza. Sounded good - eggs, two cheeses, caramelized onion, chive. Pizza was overcooked and bland. Dry and sandy. Ugh. Maybe some more onions would have helped, or a drizzle of love oil and some salt. Just awful. Clearly this place is poorly managed. Avoid.

    Thai Wrap
    Trinh J.

    First things first, I definitely should've gotten the pizza... ugh I got the Thai Wrap and I must say it was a letdown. Womp womp womp. Service was quick. Line and seats get pretty packed.

    This shows as my first check in here but I've checked in at least 4 times
    Terry D.

    Wolfgang's is hit or miss on service but in the immortal words of Ice Cube "today was a good day". While the service might be hit or miss, the pizza is always the same...interesting by Chicago standards. But if you ask nicely, they are willing to cut it into tavern squares to make it "real pizza".

    Girl & the Goat is a must go in Chicago. Between the reputation, the awards, and the fame of chef…read moreStephanie Izard, my expectations were high. I made this reservation more than a month in advance and was genuinely excited when I finally snagged a table. Thankfully, the meal delivered. The space itself is exactly what I hoped for--minimal, chic, and effortlessly cool. Nothing feels overdesigned or trendy for the sake of being trendy. The menu is also refreshingly approachable. It's creative without being overwhelming, and there's enough variety that everyone can find something they'll love. Before I even get into the food, I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Kona. She was absolutely incredible and deserves a raise. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. Service like that elevates an entire meal. The drinks were fantastic too. Strong, well-balanced, and with enough variety that there's truly something for everyone. I had both a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned, and neither disappointed. The Manhattan was bold and spirit-forward, while the Old Fashioned was exactly what I wanted--strong, slightly sweet, and the perfect companion to dessert. To start, we ordered the Pita & Dips, and thank goodness we did. The pita itself is enormous, warm, and beautifully prepared. The dips were fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. It's one of those dishes that seems simple on paper but ends up being one of the most satisfying things on the table. The famous Green Beans absolutely lived up to the hype. Kona came by and suggested pairing them with the halibut, which is exactly the kind of thoughtful service that makes a difference. She didn't have to do that, but she did, and she was right. The green beans were incredible--crunchy, savory, addictive, and somehow far more exciting than green beans have any right to be. I'd honestly come back just for this dish. The Pan-Roasted Halibut was another standout. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The acidity cut through the richness of the fish while the subtle sweetness tied everything together. It felt bright and refined without losing comfort-factor. The Goat Empanadas were exactly what fried food should be. Crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. Sometimes restaurants try to overcomplicate things, but this dish succeeded because it simply executed the fundamentals perfectly. Then came the Roasted Pig Face, which might have been the most fun dish of the night. Mixing everything together transformed the plate into something completely different from its individual parts. The textures were fantastic, and the potatoes added an element I wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed. It's playful, creative, and a perfect example of why Girl & the Goat became famous in the first place. And then dessert happened. We ordered the Popcorn Situation, and I now understand why people talk about it. The combination of sweetness, saltiness, creaminess, and crunch somehow works perfectly. That cake, the cheese component, the salty notes - everything came together in a way that sounds unusual on paper but tastes absolutely incredible. Overall, Girl & the Goat lives up to its hype. I'll 100% be back

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!
