Wolfgang Puck Express

This review is specific for the hummus wrap. DO NOT GET IT. I often have a little challenge finding something nice to eat at the ORD bc I’m a vegetarian but usually manage to find something. Today I’m starving and thought I’d give the hummus wrap a go. Even in my terribly hungry state I pitched it after one bite. $ 10 down the drain and I’m still starving. So disappointed that they can’t get a simple hummus wrap right. It was filled about 50% full of hummus making taking a bite with out making a mess impossible — the other half was basically tomatoes which were wet enough to make my wrap soggy in the short period of time it took for me to find a place to sit. It makes me sad that someone thought it was ok to serve that.

Flight was delayed so I stopped here for dinner. Prices are high (its the airport, it happens) had a sirloin burger, which was a monster. Takes about 12 min to cook but the quality of the meat is there. Comes with fries, drink is extra. Food quality high, Price High.

Not so great, I should’ve have listened to the reviews but I saw a celebrity chef name planted on the sign, and saw actual burning wood in the oven so it was hard to resist when I was craving pizza. The pizza is too salty (granted, I got the Italian meats), the cheese didn’t have much flavor, nor did the dough or sauce. It was also pricey at $ 14+, and was not satisfying at all even when craving pizza. It’s surprising that one of the major food Mecca cities doesn’t have any decent food options at a major airport hub!

Slow service but decent pizza. If you only have an hour or less between flights skip this place unless you get something premade. However if you have an hour or more, and fresh pizza sounds good, this is a decent place for a meal. Price is fair for an airport where most food items are on part with Profesional sport arenas, or 30−50% higher price then what you might find from that place down the street from your house. Ingredients are fresh and I like the menu like adding fresh basil or tomatoes on top. They top and bake it right in front of you so allow 10 – 15 min for that but the wood fore oven and thin crust make it a cut Above most other places at this airport.
Several locations in O’Hare airport, I usually eat at the one near gate B7.
They also have sandwiches and salads if pizza is not your thing.

The food here is overpriced and underwhelming. I understand that it’s airport food, so I don’t have particularly high expectations, but I also don’t expect to pay over six dollars, plus tax, for a dinky bowl of chowder that left me wandering into another restaurant mere minutes later for something more filling.

Came here for a lunch bite. Ordered a simple turkey club and waited over 30 mins in line. Once I wine tot pay they couldn’t accept cash because they had no change and my sandwich looked void of avocado (though after careful inspection I did find a microscopic piece on one side of the sandwich). The sandwich was also made on a store bought wheat bread– when the photo of the sandwich clearly shows it with a nice thick inviting roll.
For over $ 10 and suck a long wait, I wouldn’t recommend this as your stop for food while in terminal 1. Try the Berghoff or Chilis for better food.

The food was very good and the service was nice. Be prepared that they cook everything from scratch, so it take about 8 minutes to get your pizza. Not bad for fresh pizza, but if you are rushing to your flight it might feel like forever. The bar next door lets you sit in there and eat with is excellent.

The pizza is surprisingly delicious for airport food! I ordered the Margarita. Nice bar area, but you have to order alcohol separately from your food, which is a total bummer because there’s no place to order unless you hangover one of the many seated guests. I’m guessing the lower reviews are because there are 0 charging ports in here. would be helpful, but I guess they want to us to get a quick bite and move on. seems so based on the uncomfortable seats.

It was crowded on a holiday afternoon, but I had just enough time between flights for a pizza and a beer. The Roasted Mushroom pizza was fresh, flavorful, and crisp, and the Goose Island IPA was cold and refreshing. The prices were a bit high, even for an airport, but the staff were reasonably nice.

Oh the dreaded airport dining choices!!! Choice is at a premium — you can eat and the sick little food court in the UAL terminal (I always leave there feeling fleeced and sick)…or you can try Chilies (which is at least predictable and less cafeteria)…or there is Wolfgang Pucks. I decided on WP’s a few weeks ago as being the lesser of available evils… having never eaten there, my big hang-​up was that I just had this feeling that it was a chain restaurant with a name-​brand chef’s name on it and would fall short of expectations… but when faced with the Old-​Timer-​With Cheese-​Alternative across the way… might as well try it right?
So, I almost got the Turkey sandwich… it looked like a giant cake and some woman across the way was eating it… looked quite good, but somehow felt a bit pedestrian… so I went for the slightly more-​refined pepperoni pizza… so the crust was clearly hand stretched and was of the appropriate Napoli type style. I doubt o-​hare airport has a wood fired oven, but this had clearly seen a very hot oven…
Let me make something perfectly clear… those people who wipe down their pizza with paper towels because it is «too greasy» are sub-​human and don’t deserve to eat pizza… they are «pizza-​patters» nothing more.
I have to say though… this pizza came and it was like a swimming pool full of grease — so much so, that I was a little afraid of it… I pictured myself an hour later, on my flight and all of a sudden having a reactor core overload and some serious issues at 37,000 feet… bravely though, I consumed the grease ball… it was about 10,000 degrees and instantly burned the entire roof of my mouth… the grease dripped on the plate and silently congealed…
But…it wasn’t too bad… apart from the excessive grease (which was only due to the pepperoni), everything else about it was perfect — great crust, great cheese, fresh basil, perfect amount of sauce… and much to my shock, no containment breach on the flight later on…
Easily one of the better dining options at the airport, but go for the turkey sandwich next time…

I can’t say that I wasnt a little desperate for something beyond McDonald’s or dry Starbucks breads but I had the Italian Meat and it was just right. The wait wasnt long (and i was there around 12 or lunch in Unilocal terms)
And it was hearty for $ 12. My sister and I split a pizza with about 4 slices for each of us. Like all airports there wasn’t a lot of seating but we snagged a window by the bar and dug in. Overall, exceeded my expectations for airport pizza and my grumbling traveler’s stomach was greatful.

Stopped in for breakfast.
Service was awesome. The waiter, constantine, was attentive to my needs and really made me feel good about
choices.
I got the goat chease omelette. It was ok.
I also got the crispy potatoes… they were amazing and one of the reasons im giving 4stars. They use while new potatoes, which get brined, boiled, slighly smashed, roasted in the pizza oven, and flash fried when ordered. The result is the BEST home fries/​breakfast taters ive ever had!
If you are at Ohare come by and get the crispy potatoes. YOU WILL BE HAPPY THAT YOU DID.

If I have to wait for my flight, I might as well enjoy a good meal in the process.
Top 3 Picks:
–butternut squash soup w/​cardamom cream (my favorite by far)
–roasted beet salad w/​goat cheese, arugula, almonds, oranges, & balsamic vinaigrette
–veggie burger w/​quinoa & white bean burger, goat cheese, pickled onions & carrots, arugula, lemon aioli

3 stars for their pizza and salad. Of course this is an airport location so yea you’ll pay an arm and a leg for pizza! I ordered the spicy chicken and margherita pizza for about $ 12 each. They were great! Don’t forget or skip the cheese and arugula! TIP: wait the extra 5 minutes and wait for the fresh oven baked pizza, not the one already made. It’s worth the wait. And after waiting, don’t wait to eat it. It’s not good to eat cold!
Enjoy!

Ordered the Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken and mashed potatoes. Was pretty good. My waitress was prompt and attentive. Price wasn’t so bad. And, I got a lemonade which they give free refills on! Wolf gang for the win.
Side bar: I initially went to Chilis On the Go but hated the ambiance so I got up and left (it felt like I was at Denny’s or iHop).

Breakfast Saturday morning:
I got the Breakfast pizza for a mere $ 10.29. It was full of bacon, cheese, and eggs — and was nicely crispy. They forgot the carmelized onions, which I was excited about.
My girlfriend got the Hummus wrap. She was (relatively) happy with it.
Food was decent for an airport, way too expensive like an airport.
I would give it a 3, but am dinging it a point for missing my onions. Bc I’m in that mood right now

Are you kidding me, Wolfgang Puck? $ 7 for a teeny tiny bowl of clam chowder that has more potato and less clam? NO. Never again.

When you heard Wolfgang, you expect a certain quality of food I believe. Being as renowned that he is I mean it’s more than some quality will be lost due to his vast amounts of restaurants.
My sister and I dined here when we had some time at O’hare. Hoping to avoid the food court food. Between the two of us we split the pesto chicken with crispy potatoes and some baby kale salad with quinoa.
We requested to start with the salad but both dishes came out at the same time.
Let’s start with the salad.
1. Overdressed
2. Soggy
3. Under seasoned
4. Poorly plated
Chicken
1. Overcooked and dry
2. Potatoes we’re basically burnt or else they would have been decent
3. Pesto lacked a good basil flavor and felt almost broken due to wrong proportions maybe?
I know you may be tempted to eat here when at the airport because you don’t want to pick the fast food options offered but I kind of regret not just getting a meal from good old McDonalds. I would have saved a bunch of money and have been much more satisfied.

Ordered the BBQ chicken salad. It is edible but definitely not the most delicious one I’ve ever had; however, I do realize this is airport food so you can’t expect a phenomenal meal here. I’d suggest trying pizza since you can’t go wrong with bread and cheese.
Also, the cashier worker wasn’t the nicest. You could tell she didn’t want to be there :(

Good place in ohare if you want to avoid the greasy food court.
The wife and I had an hour, which turned out to be plenty of time. The service was good and chefs were fast! We were in an out in less than 20 minutes!
We split the tortilla soup and the grilled turkey club. My wife had to substitute garlic fries for chips. Heads up– they don’t have ranch. No… Do not adjust your Unilocal settings– you are reading this right. They do not carry the most popular salad dressing and dipping sauce in the United States of America.
The soup was good. A hearty tomato based soup with chunks of tomato, plenty of spices, cream cheese in the middle and tortilla strips sprinkled on top. Also dressed in fresh cilantro.
The sandwich was huge. Loaded with (dry) grilled turkey, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, and mayo on a thick, dense ciabatta style bread.
It wasn’t fun to eat, but it did the job between flights. I would come back if I needed to eat a fast light lunch and couldn’t talk myself into indulging in one of the supper yummy, high calorie greasy options in the food court.
