Guest Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 We went to Burger Monday on Saturday. Honestly, it was disappointing. The burger was at best mediocre. The service was fine, and the owner was very friendly. My wife doesn't allow me to have burgers often, but I have had far better ones at The Beef, the bar at #5 and the bar at Lampy's, and although I hate chains, Outbacks. It will make a fine alternative hangout for the State Street crowd, it will not be competition for Lost Dog. Once the novelty of a "new" establishment wears off (ala Sonic Burger) they will be in trouble. I wish them luck, in order to bring in the adult crowd as repeat customers they will have to improve the menu and the product. I agree. Burgers were big but dull, greasy, and messy. Ice Cream sandwich couldn't cut with a knife! Yes, improve the menu and make it a bit easier to read. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sauce Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Nice article in the paper today about a few downtown places. I think it is a great thing. Once the student housing opens hopefully we see a lot more opening up downtown! The owner of Mondays said thet served 850 meals in 3 days, that is what the expected to serve the first month. So there may be kinks because they are much busier than they anticipated, which isn't a bad thing! The prices sound very resonable, anyone who thinks they are not is a cheapskate. And stop comparing the prices to a #2 at McDonalds, that is not even real food. Try Amici. Great pizza. Great stocked bar, and the sauce is very good!

Guest Guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 No. ^^^ An Italian beef is a sandwich of thin slices of seasoned roast beef, dripping with meat juices, on a dense, long Italian-style roll, believed to have originated in Chicago, where its history dates back at least to the 1930s.[1] The bread itself is often dipped (or double-dipped) into the juices the meat is cooked in, and the sandwich is typically topped off with Chicago-style giardiniera (called "hot") or sauteed, green Italian sweet peppers (called "sweet"). Italian beef sandwiches can be found at most hot dog stands and small Italian-American restaurants throughout the city of Chicago and its suburbs. They are difficult to find outside the Chicago metropolitan area. However, Chicago expatriates have opened restaurants across the country serving Italian beef, Chicago-style hot dogs, and other foods original to the Chicago area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_beef UMMM Sarcasm. I know what Italian beef is. I watch food network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest years ago Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Is it as good as Al-Jo's was a long time ago in the same place? Best pizza (or hotpie... as they called it back then) ever!!!! Years ago Cortese said 'hot pie'. They had the best thick pizza and chunky sauce. Now their pizza is thin and terrible. Sauce is awful. Inconsistant too. Even the box says pizza no longer hot pie.
