Most Disliked

Some patrons note the limited indoor seating, especially during peak hours, making it occasionally difficult to find a table. The busiest time tends to be Friday at 5 PM, which can lead to a longer wait for food. Although the staff is diligent, a rushed lunch crowd may cause slight delays during peak dining times. A few customers have also expressed a desire for more innovative menu options beyond the classic offerings. However, many still appreciate the core menu for its quality and comfort. Additionally, some might find the cozy atmosphere a bit too close for comfort during busy periods, lacking the space for larger groups.

This small place is full of life! I ordered a polish with fries (which was absolutely delicious...Fresh Fries...love, love, love). It was the convo I had with the staff that I enjoyed the most. We talked about family, old movies, cd's and tv shows while I waited on my order. I really enjoyed my visit; so I'll be back, especially since I was invited back.

My dad and I are from south Texas and had lunch at this place years ago while visiting family in Chicago. I still dream about the food to this day! My dad and I ate at the small counter and had a great time. It's a father-daughter experience I think fondly of still after many years.

Windy City is without a doubt a true staple of our community. I’ve been coming here for the past 25 years, and every time I walk in, I feel at home. The quality of the food, the friendly service, and the welcoming atmosphere make this restaurant a special place. If you're in Chicago, especially near Midway, this is a spot you can’t miss. From the first bite, you’ll understand why it has been a neighborhood favorite for so long. Highly recommended!
