Milwoods

I Love YOU Milwoods. I miss you!

Hello Milwood! I’ve never been to this place despite the fact that I would guess from the address that it’s only a mile or two away from where I live. In fact, I’ve never even seen the place so I have no idea what’s up with it. BUT they have great, delicious, fast delivery, late night, even on weeknights.
Good apps, good pizza, good burgers. Nothing wrong here!

I LOVE their cajun chicken sandwich and seasoned fries. Menu is plentiful, delivery time is good and reasonable, food is great upon arrival. This is a great place to order from if you live in their delivery area. That’s the only issue, though, and that’s the only reason I’m giving them 4 instead of 5 stars. They have a very small delivery range, and they closed their storefront so you cannot do pickup anymore. Hopefully they open up the storefront again so that those of us who don’t live in the Lincoln Park area can pickup some Milwoods if we’re nearby!

I decided to update, I grub hub contacted me later and confirmed the food was actually delivered, and left in the kitchen area at my job. Someone took my food. Bummer. Not the restaurants fault at all. Grub Hub refunded me in the end.

They have a great spicy chicken pasta. They also have really good cheese fries. The cheese is true nacho cheese. Mozzarella sticks and chicken wings are bagged food and not fresh repaired so wouldn’t do those. If you like spicy food this is the best pasta out there

I love me some Milwoods. I’ve never ordered the same thing and nothing has ever let me down. Delivery is normally quick, except when there’s several inches of snow and ice, then it’s just pretty quick.

I love Milwoods.
They have a big enough menu, and great food + prices for a place that stays open till 2am with delivery. Last time I ordered for delivery, they forgot my apple juice, which was seriously no big deal, it happens. I placed another other last night and literally within thirty seconds they called me and said «hey we are bringing you a free apple juice since we forgot last time». So simple, but great customer service which I love. They not only remembered they forgot, but took the time to give me a call to let me know they were sending it out. Most places wouldn’t give a you know what…
(Plus, you should probably try the chocolate cake, it’s amazing)

Great place to order some bar food for delivery. They have good variety in their menu, offering everything from Pizza to burgers to Soups and Salads and everything in between. I will be ordering delivery from here every week from now on.

Probably the shadiest restaurant I’ve dealt with. I’ve been here about 4 – 5 times and each time they regress. First time it was a small take out burger place with a legitimate counter and menu. Few months later it was a convenient store front with the food still available. Now it’s a shady empty store front that only does delivery. There’s something about this place I no longer trust. It’s too bad, because the food was pretty decent.
I called today for take out. The guy said the store front is closed and just hung up. Didnt even give me an option for delivery. How are they even still in business? They should just close already and move on. Especially since the are not even located at Milwaukee and Wood.

YUM YUM YUMMY! Love their mini burgers, esp with the chipolte mayo. The mini burgers are on like hawaiian rolls or something similar and taste amazing with the chipolte mayo dipping sauce… Just ordered from them again, about to try the boneless wings… hope they are just as yummy :)

The first 1-​star of the day and perhaps one that isn’t fully deserved. I usually reserve 1-​stars for truly bad experiences and it’s not like Milwoods poisoned me or anything, but there just aren’t any redeeming qualities.
I can’t really defend why I ate here more than once, but I’ve had a burger in the restaurant and had a Crunchy Asian Salad and Buffalo Chicken Sandwich delivered to me. I really can’t say a single good thing about either experience. Again, not horrible, but bad. Definitely bad. If I wish I had I opened a can soup than eaten the food a restaurant delivered to me, it’s hard to justify rating it as anything more than a 1-​star.

Just tried to order for delivery… an hour ago.
I’m not complaining about the speed of my delivery… but the fact that they are closed today, and told us and HOUR AFTER our order. That’s an awesome system ya got for selling your generic pizza and mostly frozen appetizers. We only ordered because we had a sweet online coupon.
Blacklisted.

This place has the best pizza that I’ve had around here. About a month ago I tried it for the first time and haven’t tried anywhere else, since. Always a great bet.
However, stick to pizza. Tonight my girlfriend and I deviated.
I had a meatball sub. It was pretty much what I expected a meatball sub to be, but there was only half of it. For a $ 9 sandwich I would like the whole thing. I don’t know where the other half went.
The «steak quesadilla“‘s were simply shaved Steak-Um’s between flour tortillas with cheese. Something that someone makes, late at night, on the stove when they don’t have much left in the fridge.
The Cajun Chicken Pasta Penne had three pieces of chicken and a bunch of over-​cooked pasta. It was hard to tell, through the blanket of over-​spice, if the cream sauce tasted alright.
Go with the pizza. Don’t spend $ 40 on three sub-​par dishes like I just did.

I was planning on going to the Hollywood Grill across the street, but being the genius I am, I used the paybox parking before seeing that Hollywood Grill has it’s own parking lot. As a matter of principle (and a matter of me doing everything in my life impulsively, BUT THAT’S A STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME) I decided to go somewhere on this side of the street, and pretend that’s what I meant to do. I chose Milwoods completely at random, which may mean I’m a more impartial reviewer. Or maybe I’m just dumb.
Service was unbelievable, but only in the literal «I do not believe that a professional server would act like this» kind of way. The waitress/​receptionist person was one of those beautiful but vacant people who seem to end all statements with a question mark, whether they’re questions or not. She seemed mad that she had to do her job, which I understand (who doesn’t hate their job?) but c’mon man, show a little stoicism. It’s not like the place was jam packed. After a little difficulty I was able to place my order, a Blackened Burger combo with fries and a fountain drink.
At least, the sign said it came with a fountain drink. I was actually given a Coke can. That’s 12 ounces. I’m not saying I’m the kind of person who needs to (or should) drink a lot of coke, but has there ever been a fountain drink as small as 12 ounces in history? For better or worse, this is America, and 12 ounces are not sufficient. I should have gotten two cans, or at least one Coke tallboy (which is not a real thing, but should be). My waitress offered no explanation or apology but again, she seemed even more lost than I was, so I didn’t push it.
While I waited for my food I watched the giant TV which played something resembling, but not exactly like, Rock Center with Brian Williams. I don’t know who connected Milwoods’ cable, but holy crap was it broken. Remember the TVs in Independence Day, when the aliens are using the satellites to communicate with each other and all the TVs are super distorted and fuzzy? I’m just saying, if it turns out our days on Earth are numbered, I will deeply regret wasting my time with such nonsense as a Unilocal review.
Then I got the food, which was actually pretty great. The burger was good, the fries were great and hot, and they didn’t overdo it with the mayo which, as far as mayo management goes, puts them among the top eateries of all time. I didn’t really taste a lot of the so-​called «Cajun Spices» listed and my shallow little dish of ketchup didn’t really last me through all my fries, but I am not sweating the food quality, especially when you factor in the cheap 6.99 price.
So yeah, good food. Not a terrible experience as long as you don’t mind the employees being slow on the uptake.

2.5 stars, but it’s 70 degrees in March, so I’m in a rounding up kind of mood.
The service in this place is terrible, but I wasn’t really expecting too much seeing as Milwoods does most of its business through delivery and take-​out. Still, would it kill you to take your headphones out?!
The ahi tuna i ordered was decent, and came in a HUGE portion – two pitas filled with 4 large strips of tuna each. An entrée, side salad, and can of pop came out to under $ 8.
The cheap prices and the fact that I live one block away will probably bring me back occasionally.

The best tip I can offer right off the bat is to use GrubHub delivery/​takeout for these guys. For 15 bucks they will deliver but their online/​moblie odering sucks whereas ordering online through GrubHub was so fast I did it in in under five minutes. However you must note that on GrubHub it is called «The Millwood Express.»
Delivery order was correct, delicious and fast. The broccoli cheddar soup was good, but what made it great was that it was served with warm pita bread that was really tasty and great for dipping. Vegetarians can enjoy a veggie burger here and their seasoned fries are pretty good. Its the place that can please everyone. They have pizza, flatbread, salad (and not crappy pizza-​place salad either), sandwiches, soup, I also like that they offer juice as well as soda. Its a nice suplement to pizza or Chinese food night if you don’t feel like leaving your apartment to procure nourishment.

I ordered delivery from Milwood. While eating the dip my mouth and tooth were damaged by a paperclip in the dip. I emailed the establishment — no response or accountability. DO NOT EAT HERE — & if you do be careful of every bite!

I’ve always been decently surprised by my Grubhub deliveries, until I decided to go with Milwood.
Never again.
Delivery for a large pizza was estimated at 45−60minutes on a Thursday night. After an hour and a half, we call Grubhub, who calls Milwood. Apparently they are «very slammed» and are working on it. Yeah, that’s not an acceptable excuse.
Hour and 45 minutes later, pizza arrives. Tip the dude begrudingly, and slam the door to finally enjoy the pizza.
It’s cold. Not just lukewarm. The pizza is morning-​after congealed grease cold. We are so hungry by this point, however, that we reheated in the microwave to eat. Even then, the pizza sucked. «Meaty Madness» be damned – it was mostly cheese and no bacon/​sausage/​other artery-​clogging meat as promised.
Perhaps its a different dine-​in experience, but avoid delivery. I banish you with 1-​star.

Dudes. If you didn’t know, Milwood makes some pretty delicious pizza.
The crust is where it’s at: It’s thin, but kind of chewy. I don’t know how they create it, but hot damn! It’s good!
And double bonus for the nice delivery guy that could decipher the instructions on how to get to my bat cave of an apartment off my GrubHub order.
I think I found my new go-​to pizza delivery joint.

Ordered here late-​night on grubhub. Delivery was estimated to be at 11:54PM. I called them at 12:15 to see what was up, and their phone was «busy» for about 15 minutes before I could get through, and she said the delivery driver was in the area with my order… Great. I’m starving.
She calls me back 5 minutes later to tell me the kitchen never got the order and that if I still wanted it, it was 25 more minutes. Then she immediately started making excuses.
Pass.
How unprofessional can you be to lose an order? I can’t even review food that I couldn’t eat and (hooray) everything else is closed.
The place always looks empty… Maybe this is why.
