July 8, 2008 From Yelp.com: Really? For the life of me, I just don't understand the appeal of this place. It just isn't that good. I've been to each of the locations numerous times, and I've been disappointed time after time…

July 8, 2008 From Yelp.com: Chicago's best kept secret! My wife and I found a 3-bedroom here for just over $110,000! (I know--you're probably thinking it's section 8 housing or something, but it's really not!) Peaceful, safe,…

July 8, 2008 From Yelp.com: A fave since I found it more than 5 years ago. Rich, homey desserts like GIANT carrot cake and a variety of pies, and a perfect "after dinner and want a little something sweet, but not a giant…

July 8, 2008 From Yelp.com: I love Cheng's! I eat here on a weekly basis after work. What it lacks in ambiance and decor it more than makes up for in awesome food for an awesome price.

July 7, 2008 From Yelp.com: Hideous food, terrible service and cold salads served on scalding hot plates. This restaurant is the epitome of crappy, salty, greasy and DRY bar food. I have given them six chances, each worse than…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Susupuato looks sketchy as shit from the outside. It's the type of place that I would walk by and wonder wtf anyone eats there. Definitely not noticeable, easy to overlook, whatever you want to call…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: I needed to revise this review... after a few more visits here, I still find this place good, just not incredible. I am not a fan of the dinner menu. In fact, I have not found much that I like to…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: M Henry has a patio! I don't know when it opened but I ate there today and it was delightful. The only downside? More tables + same size kitchen = it took FOREVER to get our food. I don't care…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Love their lunch/dinner menu. Whether it be a salad, sandwich, or entree - food here always tastes fresh and delicious. Service is gracious even when the small room is packed to the limit.

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Good burger but surly service. Maybe it's supposed to be part of the kitsche factor, but a friendly approach would go much further than the bored, "I really don't want to be here" attitude we usually…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Always the place I go to purchase the "unneeded additional beer" after filling up at Simon's across the street. These fellas are funny in that they don't put up with any shit. Personal favorite…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: This is my bar. Not in that I own it but the amount of money I've spent here over the years gets me a small share in the business. Befriend the bartenders and be prepared to do shots, even when not…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've always avoided those super-annoying waffle mongers on Clark, even though the smells were wonderful. Last week, as I was coming home from they gym, I saw a young lady standing outside of Cafe…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: Their Cotton Candy ice cream is one of the greatest things I've ever tasted. Their waffle cones are great, too. It gets crazy busy on summer nights, and I usually don't mind waiting, but the line…

July 6, 2008 From Yelp.com: I was a White Castle virgin, but no more. I just moved down the street and on a late night we hit the drive thru. It's good, I can't deny. But, not fabulous and not nearly as great as my fave…
