Paddy Longs - Chicago

The appetizers were overcooked, and when we brought it up to the server, he responded by saying it would be served soon. When I asked why it was fried so much, he mentioned that the bacon strips were coated in batter, so they needed to be cooked thoroughly. When I suggested getting a different dish, he insisted that this was how it was meant to be. My wife and I were both unhappy with the service and the appetizers.

This restaurant is excellent! The bacon is a highlight here. I have dined here twice and both experiences were fantastic. I highly suggest starting with the bacon board.

I visited the restaurant on a bright Monday afternoon, excited to finally try their renowned Bacon grenades. I arrived early to meet my daughter for lunch.

The starters were overcooked, and when we told the young waiter who took our order, he said that's how they are supposed to be. When I asked why they were so crispy, he explained that the bacon strips were coated in batter and had to be fried that way. When I suggested getting a different dish instead, he insisted that's how they were meant to be served. Both my wife and I were very disappointed with both the service and the appetizer.

So this is the type of place if I lived closed to, my picture would be on the wall and they would have my usually ready upon my entry.
