Years ago when they first opened, I took 4 young girls (2 were mine) there. It was a wonderful experience. It was more funny that rude. When we left, I left the waiter a good tip. He stopped me on the way out. It seems one of the mothers had given her daughter $20 for lunch. She left it one the table. I had left a big tip on my credit card. He returned the money she left to me. He said he enjoyed our group and was thankful that I left a nice tip, however, he could NEVER take money from a child. I thanked him. When we got hom... read more

well after watching the video on facebook and reading the reviews it sounds like a place for teenagers that are looking for a fun time, or someone who has been beaten down by mental abuse, never ate here never will. Glad I read before I went in.

Weird place... – The food is OK, nothing great though. The staff was very rude but reading from other reviews, it seems like that's on purpose - why would the do that? I'll never understand.. ??

Read this if you're thinking of taking a young kid here – I realize that being rude is their schtick . I just feel sorry for the random out-of-towners (like me) who don't know any better and end up there with their kids. Did the waiter really need to yell at my six year old as we sat down that he was a bed wetter? I agree with charlie8822--don't take tired or sensitive kids there and would take it farther and say you shouldn't take any young kids there. It will either leave them feeling hurt or it will teach them behavior yo... read more

Don't bring tired or sensitive kids here – I grew up in Chicago and always enjoyed eating here. Now I am 29 and I thought it would be fun to go with my niece and 3 nephews. My oldest nephew is 9 and he is absolutely delightful. He doesn't misbehave or make scenes in public. (The other kids were a little rambunctious). Our waiter was so rude, and didn't adapt to the vibe of our table. We had one special needs child so when he first came up, we told him we have one kid who can't speak and please be nice to us. I guess this was... read more

What an extreme disappointment and they do not care! – We came from Minnesota to spend 3 days in Chicago to celebrate my daughters sweet 16 birthday. Someone recommended this sham of a place to take her. The food was terrible, the staff was rude and to top it off there was a man running around making balloons for the kids. He came to us and she had seen some princess crowns he had made for several other girls. She requested one as well. They were cute - he made her something terrible, it was ugly and tried to call it a crown... read more

Brilliant! – My class and I are visiting chicago on a school trip, and we liked the experience of eating here very much. The waitor named "Swan", a.k.a Tractor, is the coolest. We all miss you already!!! And next time I visit I will definately come here again. Great food, service, and humor!!

Fun for a group – I went with a group of friends here and we had a blast! Be prepared because the music is loud and the decor is ultra-retro. The waiters are hilarious and purposely rude, so don't be afraid to have fun with them! Breaking out in song and dance is common here for all workers! The whimsical atmosphere didn't affect the food, which was very good. I recommend the burgers and malts. A great place for parties or kids

where is your sence of humor? – ok in order to go to a place like this you must have a sence of humor and be happy, cuz if not then you will hate it. lame ppl should not go here cuz this is a place to have fun and laugh. its obnoxious and fun to yell at your waiter cuz he is yellin at you. thats the main point. the food is pretty good....the dessert is very very good. i got a salad cuz i wasnt too hungry and it was good, it was funny to hear my waiter complain about everyone and then he turned to me and was all like thanks f... read more
