Stanley’s Blackhawk

AVOID unless you are a die hard Blackhawks homer. I like rueben sandwiches but not here. Worst I have had in 58 years on this planet. Soggy and laden with grease. Nearly inedible. Cold fries and all at airport prices. Server was nice but could not make up for the gruel. Even McD’s is an upgrade from here. Head toward B terminal and there are several spots there far better. IME, keep walking and live.

After deciding to try this, as I have walked by it for many years. The sign said to seat yourself so I found an available but dirty table. Finally, a server stopped by to clean it up and Zi asked for a drink of water. She must of passed my table six times without the water. So I decided to order and also reminded her of the water.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was void of any sauce for it. The meal was bland and tasteless.
So with poor service and bad food, keep walking.

Service was good up until the point when I sat down at the bar and I was asked by the bartender (who I believe is the owner) what I wanted to drink. Asked for two to go beers and was immediately met with what seemed to be agitation because it’s apparently it’s wrong to want to take a beer for yourself and a friend. I was not allowed to take two to go nor was I given a single smile the whole time waiting for my beer while he waited on other customers at the bar after having taken my order. To top it all off, the beer, which is a bud light to begin with, was even more disgusting than it usually is. And for $ 9? I’ll never go there again.

It’s airport food.
Typical bar menu uninspiring.
Service was good though.
Very busy when I went here. If you have to choose between McDonalds and Chili’s Too and here this place should win.
A note, there are not really any healthy items on this menu.

Unexcusably poor service. I seated myself as their sign requests. Waited for more than 10 minutes before realizing the other customers had ordered but nothing is coming out. Waitresses attitude is absolutely no eye contact or communication what the problem is. Wanted to support the local establishment, but had a plane to catch. I went next door to Chili’s and got service and food quickly. I hope the management team takes some corrective action or it looks bad for the restaurant and the city.

As others have said, my food was warm, at best. My chicken sandwich smelled like fish. The food was too pricey for the value. $ 9 for a beer? I suppose that’s what you get with airport convenience. If you’re looking for a good meal, look elsewhere.

The place is nice because of the memorabilia, however very crowded and the service was decent. The appetizer I had was Potato chips with a cheese spread, which was good. If you have about an hour plus to spare and looking for Blackhawks swag I would stop for a visit.

At least somebody had a pleasant host. There was a seat yourselves sign at the front. The waitress ignored us so long it almost seemed intentional. We ordered the wings and footlong Chicago Dog. The food took a long time. The wings were the absolute smallest I’ve ever had anywhere. No bigger than your thumb.(not exaggerating. Asked for Ranch and they brought Bleu Cheese. The Chicago Dog was alright, but took 25 – 30 minutes. Unfortunately, this is the last thing we will do in Chicago which capped off an otherwise terrific experience.

Disappointing. Our food was luke warm & bland. If you’re just getting a drink you’ll have a fine time. If you’re hungry find something else!

It’s better than terrible airport food. They have a full bar, so that is a bonus
Decent size burger and fries, at airport prices. Freshly made, nothing sitting around, so that is a win. Stan sauce is thousand island plus… a touch of horseradish? Overall, I have had worse.
Staff is nice. Service is quick. Beer is cold.

I eat at a lot of airport restaurants and this is a decent one… If you’re looking for a sports bar type atmosphere and that kind of food. I had a great experience, fast and friendly service, really good Chicago style hotdog, and not over priced. I didn’t have anything else, so this is based off of that meal… But if you like Chicago dogs, make it a point to stop here and get one, totally solid!

The only redeeming factor for this place is the super friendly hostess. Besides that, 2 thumbs down.
Have you ever had that waiter that just gave you a look that said, «why are you bugging me?» That pretty much sums my experience here. I was here with a group of 5 people and ³⁄₅ ordered diet coke. When we asked for a refill, we got the classic look mentioned above and then he picked up all glasses by hand to refill. Keep in mind, I am not sure how he could tell the difference and which glass actually belong to who, but he seemed super offended when we asked.
Minus the awful service, the food here is not good at all. Like worse than most airport food. My burger and fries were cold and my fries actually tasted like soap. It was so bad that I had to order a drink from Argo Tea to wash down the soap taste.
I would much rather walk to Chilies next door.

Stopped for a beer with my husband and 2 kids (age 5 and 6) during an hour and a half layover. My girls got comfy coloring, 2 beers and tator tots were ordered, and we took out playing cards to play a game of rummy. We were immediately told to put the cards away and that playing cards was not allowed. I can understand not supporting a gambling ring but to not allow a family to play an innocent game of cards was insane to me. Will never return when in the O’Hare airport.

Service was seat yourself. I waited for ten minutes, no one even spoke to me. They weren’t even that busy. Left and went to Chili’s around the corner.
I’ve eaten here before and I liked it. The food was pretty good in the past. But this time the service was pretty bad.

The food is decent. Typical pub fare plus some delicious salads. The portions and prices are reasonable for a busy airport. A decent place to have a meal and a beer during a longer layover.
I stopped here on my way back home from a deployment to Iraq in 2011 and some generous anonymous person picked up my tab. Now that’s a humbling experience.

In a hurry? Don’t go here!
The service was mediocre. Nice, but not fast or attentive.
The food was ok… Not awful, but… Well. On second thought it was pretty much a step above awful. Barely.
And, unsurprisingly, the cost was certainly not worth the food or the experience.
Good luck.

1 star: ½ a star for actually getting me food and ½ a star because you can’t give less than 1 star.
On a long layover a colleague and I needed dinner and a beer. This place was basically the only option outside chilis and it had a huge line, so it must be worth it, right? Wrong.
We waited about 10 mins for a table, quickly ordered some beers, a salad (me), and a chicken sandwich (my colleague). 20 minutes later we managed to order a second drink. 30 minutes later everyone that arrived after us has food. 45 minutes later my salad comes out wrong.
The salad, after being whisked away, having the fried chicken scraped off and being topped with grilled chicken (I know because it took less than a minute to replace my custom salad), was TINY.
Why is it that restaurants feel the need to charge $ 15 for a side salad? Either price it as a side salad so I know to order 2 – 3 of them or give me a god damn huge bowl of lettuce. This is my entrée people. Lettuce is cheap. I don’t need a pound of cheese or a cup of almonds, I’m just asking for a massive bowl of greens. Even if it’s iceberg. FILL. THE. PLATE. ITS LETTUCE.
needless to say, I won’t be back and can’t recommend that you try it. But, you are probably in a hurry in ohare and reading this from the table at the restaurant. IF YOU HAVENE’T ORDERED GET UP AND LEAVE! If you have ordered, ask for another beer and your check at the next sign of your server and pray that you make your flight. Or drink enough that you don’t care.

Ate here while waiting for my flight home. Very busy but well worth the wait. And the Mikita burger and deep fried cookies. Server was quick and friendly; food was delicious; and atmosphere was nice. Will definitely eat here again.

Had lunch here one afternoon in between flights.
Ordered the salad with crab cake.
Had to be one of the thinnest crabcakes I’ve ever seen in my life. Flavor was good, just wish there was more crab!
The place was packed and very busy at lunch time — but service was still good!

The food is so so. Not too bad, but the pull pork seems to be microwaved, or not better than that from Whole Foods hot bar.
Nobody gave me menu after I seated myself. The Spanish-​speaking waitress always seems in a hurry. She gave me the bill one minute after giving me the entrée. They also had their dinner on a table right beside me.
The price is ok for business traveler, but not ok for others. Will not go back.
