Spencer's Jolly Posh

Hello Today we will be reviewing Spencer's JollyPosh located on southport Avenue.

Otto:
I have known Spencer's Jolly Posh from the Logan Square Farmer's market for a couple of years. I get their sausage roll almost every time we visit the market, and I've always loved it, and we sometimes buy their sausage and rashers to take home to make ourselves. So I was really excited when we decided to go here. The restaurant includes a small store which sells a bunch of British stuff that I hadn't seen before and some things that I already knew and really liked. I got the Banger Sausage Sandwich, which was described in the menu as two of their homemade sausages on a toasted bun. At the Farmer's Market, this same sandwich comes on a baguette, and I really like it that way, but I was willing to try it on the bun. We also ordered chips (which are British french fries). The chips came out pretty quickly and were very good, and we ate these while waiting. And waiting. And waiting for our food. When it finally arrived, there was only one rather small patty-like sausage on a very large bun. You couldn't even see the sausage on the closed sandwich, and so we asked the server about it, she said the sausage was split in two (it's a link sausage, and when it is split, it is flattened out), and that's what they meant by two sausages. But I knew this wasn't right because I have had this same sandwich many times before, and when I told her this, she said it was probably different at the farmer's market. After Ruben also mentioned that he had the sandwich at this exact location and it was two sausages, the server said she would get me an extra sausage and not charge me for it, which we thought was kind of silly, because clearly the menu said TWO sausage links, and this should not be given to us as a favor. It took them so long to make me an extra sausage that my current sausage patty got cold, and we had to ask them to reheat it. The fact that it took so very long and then was wrong and then that we had to argue about whether to not it was wrong and then another long wait kind of ruined the whole experience for me. And when it finally did come, I didn't actually like the  bun very much, so I ate the sausage mostly plain, and it was so greasy that it made my head hurt. That has never happened when I've eaten their food at the market, so I think I can only give this location 2 plates. (My usual experience at the market would be a 4 plate rating.) At least there was a good selection of British chocolate bars to choose from at the end of our visit.

Ruben:
I have been here once before and it was great! So I walked into Jolly Posh with high expectations but little did I know it was gonna be a lot different this time. We got seated and ordered some Fizzie pops aka english Sodas, I got a fizzie pop called tango, it's an apple soda that almost tastes like sparkling apple cider. Then we ordered, I ordered the banger Sausage sandwich which I have had once before also we got some Fries/chips with that as otto explained in his review the fries came way too early and were not served with the sandwiches which I thought was very odd usually restaurants are pretty good with timing when the food comes. So after a 40 minute wait and I have no idea why it takes that long to put a sausage on a bun, so it comes and I see the sandwich and I'm like what the heck is this it looked like a sausage burger and there was only one on the sandwich and they were supposed to have 2 so we sent it back and we got our 2 sausages we ate and paid the check. As we were walking out, the waitress did give us one of their sausage rolls as an apology for the mix-up, so that was nice. The first time I went to Jolly Posh it was a wonderful experience the sandwich was great and Spencer him self came to our table and asked how our food was so I really do hope Jolly Posh works out these problems cause it is a very cool place in Chicago. We were about head out but we could not leave without British chocolate of course so we all get a bar and we try each others my favorite was the Aero it was a chocolate bar but there were bubbles inside.  So I will not be going to Jolly posh soon but since i think it has potential i will try it one more time. I give Spencer's Jolly Posh 2 plates.

Max:
I've never been to any location of Jolly Posh before. I have only ever tried their bangers at the farmer's market. Ruben told me that this place was great. So we all walked in prepared for some good food. The atmosphere is really cool. They have a shelves filled with british grocery items that you can buy. Before we ordered, we got some English sodas. I had Club Lemon, Otto had Lilt, and Ruben had Tango Apple. We all really liked them. Then after that, we chose our meals, and got a side of fries to share. The fries came fairly quickly, but our meals came really slowly. The fries were really good. After then we got our meals. I got the Back Bacon sandwich, it was really good, not amazing, but good. The meal would be really plain if you didn't get at least one topping, I got the Baked Beans as my topping. They complemented the bacon very well. The service was incredibly slow. I mean how long does it take to put a sausage in-between two buns, right? Ruben and Otto's Banger sausages only had 1 sausage split in to two, and the menu said it had two sausages. It made the meal look really sad. This was a huge disappointment, so we told the waitress right away. When she came, we explained what happened and that we wanted a second sausage, and she said that she wouldn't charge us for two sausages. BUT OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T CHARGE US FOR TWO!!! Why would she charge you for a second sausage when the menu says it comes with two? But at least she didn't. After that, we were all kinda disappointed, and Ruben and Otto didn't even like their sandwiches all that much. This is the end of the review. But before I'm done, I think that Spencer's Jolly Posh Could be really good, but we just weren't thrilled after the wait and the issues with our meals. I give 2 plates to Spencer's Jolly Posh actual location, but I will still keep on visiting them at the Farmer's Market.

The Smoke Daddy

Hello, Today we are reviewing Smoke Daddy in Wicker Park.

Ruben:
Smoke Daddy is truly the The Daddy of BBQ In Chicago. I walked in and i just loved the atmosphere of the place. it was country, it was modern, it was smokey. also they have added a new addition that is all windows so there is great natural light place. We decided to sit in the new addition cause we have never eaten in there. it was very nice. high tables and decor. also they have like a glass door that works like a garage door that they open when its warm out. we got to see it when it was opened so that was really cool. We started off with some nice cool root beers. Then We had some pulled chicken for an appetizer. the sauce on that thing was the bomb! Smoke daddy makes there own sauces and sells them at local small grocerys around Chicago. there are 3 sauces. Mustard Q, Sweet and Smokey. and Original. I liked the mustard a lot. I have never really had a mustard BBQ sauce so that was a really wonderful new experience. the other two were also awesome. Next for all of us, we ordered the rib sampler. all three kinds of ribs. baby back, St. Louis, and rib tips. and all of them were phenomenal. I liked the baby back a lot. great flavor. the St. Louis very good. also great rub on both of them. the rib tips were good but way to much fat and Cartilage. but the meat itself was very good. We got Lots of sides. coleslaw which was pretty good nothing special. baked beans which were okay. I'm not a huge fan of beans. and then fries. half sweet potato half regular. the funny thing was the regular fries were hot, but the sweet potato were not. we told the waitress and she got us new fries right away. What I just explained to you might have seemed like a lot of food Warning we did not eat all of it. One more thing another great thing about Smoke Daddy is that they have live music a lot of the time. and even my dad's band has played there. Smoke daddy is a great BBQ place and I am definitely going back. I give 5 plates or ribs.

Max:
The Smoke Daddy has bean in Wicker Park for a while now. They're pretty famous around Wicker Park. They even have live bands performing inside. The atmosphere is authentic BBQ. They have recently expanded the restaurant, it makes it feel much less claustrophobic. We got the pulled Chicken as our appetizer. It was pretty good. And we got the Sampler as our shared meal. Our waitress messed up our order of sweet potato fries, well, I don't actually know because when she brought our fries, they were cold. Maybe they were sitting around for a while before they delivered them? I don't know. But anyway, when the sampler came, I knew it was gonna be good, because it looked it and I have been here before and I have liked their food. there were three different kinds of ribs, Baby Back, St. Louis, and Rib Tips. The Baby Back were good, although they were pretty much tied with the St. Louis. So I liked them both. The Rib Tips, were AMAZING!!!! There were three different sauces, Original, Mustard Q, and Sweet and Smokey. The Rib tips were best with the Sweet and Smokey Sauce in my opinion. It gave it a Chicago BBQ taste. The Mustard Q was also good with the ribs but it didn't outrank the Sweet and Smokey. The Original is the most boring in my taste. It isn't bad, its just boring for me because I have it at home and I eat it with stuff often. Oh! I forgot to mention some of the sides. We got Smoked Pit Beans, and Coleslaw. The Smoked Pit Beans were delicious. Some of the best beans I've ever had. The Coleslaw was good. It wasn't Amazing but it was good. It had a little too much vinegar in it, but it was still okay. For dessert, we got vanilla ice cream. Which was good for me and Otto. But not for Ruben because he can't have dairy. But Smoke Daddy was delicious so I will give 5 plates to The Smoke Daddy.

Otto:
As Max and Ruben have already said, we go the Smoke Daddy Rib Sampler Plate with St. Louis and Baby Back ribs, and rib tips. I think I liked the rib tips the best. They were very meaty and didn't have much fat on them. My second favorite was the St. Louis, and then the Baby Back. But they were all delicious. I didn't like the Mustard Q sauce, but that might be because I don't really like mustard. My favorite sauce was the Sweet and Smokey. The Original sauce was also really yummy. We also got the pulled chicken as an appetizer, which was delicious. The regular fries were tasty. I didn't try the sweet potato fries, so I wasn't all that bothered that they were cold, but it was good that the waitress brought out hot ones right away when we mentioned it. And apparently they give free ice cream to kids for dessert. We had gotten root beers as our beverage and still had them left over at dessert, so I turned mine into a root beer float. That was a great surprise ending to the meal. Overall, I'd rate this place 4.5 plates.

Jeni's Ice Cream

Hello, today we are reviewing Jeni's Ice Cream, on Southport and Roscoe.

Otto:
We went to Jeni's on a Tuesday evening, and there was a pretty big line, all the way out the door. But it was worth the wait, and luckily it moved pretty fast. While we were waiting, we looked at all the flavors which are listed on the boards. I ended up getting the Salty Caramel and Ndali Estate Vanilla Bean. I got mine in a homemade waffle cone, which was delicious. The salty caramel was very caramely and very salty. The vanilla was delicious. I think I liked the caramel better, but they were both amazing. We sat outside, where they have some benches and chairs. It's right underneath the el train tracks, so it's kind of noisy when the trains go by, but it was nice to sit outside there on such a nice summer night. I would give it 5 plates. Or 5 bowls. Or 5 cones, since it's ice cream we're talking about.

Max:
This is some really good ice cream. It's located on southport (under the train station). We had to wait in line for about 15 minutes, but I didn't regret it because their ice cream is so good. I got the Milkiest Chocolate in the World, and the Buckeye State. The Milkiest Chocolate in the World isn't the milkiest chocolate around, and maybe not the best chocolate ice cream around, but it tastes like a milk chocolate bar. Not a super milky chocolate bar. Even though it's delicious, it's not that milky. The Buckeye State is a peanut putter and chocolate ice cream. It's called the "Buckeye State" because it's based after a famous Ohio cookie which is a ball of peanut butter dipped in melted chocolate. I know this because my family comes from Ohio, and we often make this cookie as a snack. The Buckeye State ice cream actually does capture the authentic original cookie. So in that case I loved the Buckeye State very much and that makes my review better. The atmosphere is like a modern ice cream place. I loved the buckeye state, so I'll rate Jeni's ice cream 4 plates. The reason why I won't give 5 plates is because the Milkiest Chocolate in the World was just average chocolate ice cream. But it's overall a good ice cream place.

Ruben:
Jeni's is relatively new to the area. i think its been around for a year. but this is my first time going here. and i live in the area. I really liked the location right on southport. it's a perfect addition to the street. it really complements all the stores and restaurants on that block. also its steps away from the southport brown line stop. so that's convenient. Now Jeni's is a franchise they have several locations around the u.s. and i really don't like franchises so when i found out about that i was a little bummed. There was a huge line down the block so that was a pain. i walked in and i kind of liked the atmosphere but the outdoor patio is way nicer than the seating inside. i got the sun tea melon sorbet i had to get the sorbet cause i can't have milk. they had one other sorbet but it was wine flavored. you would think they would have a more kid friendly sorbet right? like a kid like me who can't have milk  would love a riesling sorbet, right? Lol. Anyway i have heard mixed reviews of their ice-cream. i don't really understand what is the big deal about it. it's a good place but its not like a place where you should wait in line for 15 minutes. Also they are very expensive, seriously 5 dollars for a small ice cream! oh, I'm forgetting about the sorbet. it was good. it had a nice flavor to it but that's about. it. i don't like to give not so good reviews, but i give jeni's 3 plates.

Si Fu (Cino Latino)

Today we are reviewing Si Fu, an Asian Latino fusion restaurant in Roscoe Village.

Otto:
Cino Latino is good because it's two different kinds of food that I really like that you can't usually get in the same place, but it's in the same place here: Mexican and Chinese. You pick if you want stir fry, or tacos or a burrito, and then you pick your protein, and then you pick the style you want, either Cino  (which is with pickled daikon, carrots, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeño, and kimchi) or Latino (with black beans and pico de gallo). It's funny because my brother Max and I often disagree about whether we should go to an Asian place or a Mexican place, because I really like Asian food, and Max really likes Mexican, so it's perfect that we can get both here. I got the Mongolian Beef Burrito, and the style didn't really matter to me, because I only wanted rice in mine. But I guess the Mongolian Beef is a Chinese style of meat. It was really good. It was actually the first burrito I have ever had. It was really really delicious. I felt sad when I got too full to finish it. The decor was funny, a mix of the two styles. The wall behind where we were sitting had lots of shelves of hot sauce. The wall in front of us had illustrations of how to use chopsticks. It was very affordable for such delicious food. I give them 5 plates.

Max: 
Cino Latino has a lot of choices of food to choose from. You can get Latino, which is with Mexican style garnishes. Or you can get Cino, which is like asian fusion. We got chips and guacamole as an appetizer. The guacamole is very fresh tasting. I don't know what they put in it, but it's great guacamole. The chips are good, they're about average chips. I got a Latino Burrito, with Orange Chicken. It was the best burrito I have ever had. Seriously. Previously my favorite burrito was at Chipotle Mexican Grill (and I know that's a chain, but it really was my favorite burrito), but this just beat it by a little. The orange chicken is so good. It's one of the elements in the burrito that makes it taste so delicious. It was just all so good. The atmosphere is a mix of Mexican and Asian. It's a really nice feeling atmosphere with their wall of hot sauces and stuff. But since Si Fu (Cino Latino) made me the best burrito I've ever tasted, I give them 5 plates.


Ruben: 
I found this place on the inter web and the minute i saw it then i knew i wanted to eat there. I was so happy there is finally a new restaurant that is not a bar  in Roscoe Village it's been a while. We went to Si fu on a nice summer afternoon for lunch and the minute i walked in there i loved the atmosphere what can i say its chino and latino atmosphere fortune cookies at the door  sombrero's on the wall it is awesome. Also another cool addition is they have a wall of Mexican hot sauces and Asian hot sauces definitely a cool idea. So at Si fu you get to pick your meat and your bread or salad and you pick chino or latino style i got the coconut curry burrito chino style and it was the best dam burrito i have ever had in my life if you think chipotle is good imagine ten times better! The chicken was very good and the curry omg it felt like it was Kow Soy stuck in a burrito you probably don't know what Koy Soy is its a coconut curry dish served in northern thai land you can see my review of that in our Sticky Rice Thai review. Another thing that we had there was the guacamole and chips and i thought it was great the chips are house made and they are so crunchy and flaky just phenomenal and that guacamole was good too. I give Si fu 5 Plates and i have already been back once and i will be back again soon.

Ethiopian Diamond

Hello, Today we will be reviewing Andersonville's beloved Ethiopian Diamond.

Otto:
I've only been here once before, and it was very good both times. The first time I went, I might have liked the meat I got a little bit better. We got two different plates from the Taste of Ethiopia, one the meat sampler and the other the vegetarian sampler (which I did not eat). They put both on the same big plate, with the injera (the spongy pancake that you use to scoop up the food) underneath. The way they serve it, it looks like a big artist's palette with little blobs of paint (but those blobs are the food). It doesn't sound very good when I describe it, but it actually is. I only ate the meats, and there were actually only three on the plate, so I only tried three of the things. Here are the ones I tried: Yesiga Alicha, which is beef cubed then cooked in a mild Alicha sauce of onions, garlic and ginger. Doro Wat, which is chicken legs marinated and cooked in spicy homemade "Diamond Berbere” sauce. I didn't like that as much as the chicken I got last time, which was with cubed pieces of chicken in a mild sauce. The last meat was the Yebig Wat, and that was actually my favorite. It was lamb (bone-in), also with the Berbere sauce. My least favorite one was actually the chicken, but that might be because I am not a big fan of chicken legs, and that was all there was. And sadly, since there were only three meats, and everyone was eating from them, there wasn't really enough that I could eat. Next time I would get an extra order of meat in addition so that there would be more meat for everyone. If you have never eaten Ethiopian, I should mention that you eat with your hands (they don't give you utensils). They bring you a plate of injera, which is a soft pancake-like spongy thing, and you tear off little bits of it and scoop up the meat or other stuff with it. It was good enough that even when I ran out of meat, I just ate the injera alone. I really liked the sambusas, which is the appetizer that comes with the sample plate. I got the beef, but they messed up our order and gave me a chicken one. Then they brought me the beef too, and I got to eat both. I liked the beef better, but the chicken was delicious too. I give this place 4.5 plates.

Max:
Ethiopian Diamond is one of the most famous restaurants in Chicago. And I have only ever been here once before. The atmosphere is very authentic Ethiopian. They have Ethiopian paintings, and they even have a 1 stringed banjo on the wall. I have never heard of a 1 stringed banjo. We got the taste of Ethiopia as a Platter. the injera that come with their dishes are really good. injera are Ethiopian Pancakes that are not like American pancakes at all, but they're delicious. The texture of injera aren't  Really like a pancake. It's kinda hard too explain the difference but injera are more like a bread texture than a pancake texture. There were so many different sauces that I can't remember all of them. But they were all very good. I really love to mix the sauces together. So like the meat sauces are great with the bean sauces. Also, all the sauces come on a Ethiopian Pancake, so if you run out of pancake you can eat the one on the dish. It's hard to learn how to eat the Ethiopian pancakes. What you do is rip a small peace of the pancake off, and dip it in any sauce you like. I think my favorite sauce is the beef. But I love Ethiopian Diamond, so I will rate it 4.5 plates.

Ruben:
Ethiopian diamond is quite an experience. it feels like your really in Ethiopia. I have been to Ethiopian Diamond about 3 or 4 times. I'm guessing it could be more though but that's what i remember. I have always loved Ethiopian food, especially the sour bread that they call injera. injera is a quite sour bread but it balances out when you put the filling, or you could call them sauces. there were so many. it is hard to choose which one is the best. but they're all really good. some of them spicy, some of them mild, some with meat, some without. so it's nice that they have a variety to pick from. so if you are a vegetarian, you can have some. and those meat lovers out there can have some also. we had these kind of Empanada shaped things. they are called sambusas. but they had different kinds like, chicken, lentil, beef. they where quite good but i was not crazy about the lentil. Ethiopian diamond has a great atmosphere, and it has an African feel to it, and it's pretty clean.  I do Think Ethiopian Diamond is one of the best Ethiopian Restaurants in the Chicago Area so i give it 4.5 plates.

Hachi's Kitchen

Hello. Today we will be reviewing Hachi's Kitchen located in the heart of logan square on California Ave. (just south of Logan Blvd).

Ruben:
The minute i walked in i knew it was gonna be good. This was my first time at Hachi's but Max and Otto are regulars so they know everyone who works there. I was greeted very nicely and when i sat down i was presented with a steaming hot towel so nice and relaxing. the boys didn't tell me about that so that was a surprise and let me say it was a good one. I loved the atmosphere, and the look of the place. it felt very welcoming and friendly but at the same time cool and modern. We started off with some pot stickers and they were amazing crispy dough on the outside and fresh meat and veggies on the inside. very good. After the pot stickers we had some Miso Soup and it was probably the best Miso Soup i have ever had. very flavorful and i loved the broth. For my main course i had the classic California Roll i really liked it. The crab was okay nothing special but it was still decent and the veggies were also decent. I also had a bite of Otto's teriyaki chicken and that is what i'm getting next time cause that homemade teriyaki sauce OMG was it good. Hachi's kitchen is a great sushi joint and i would love to go back i give it 5 plates.

Otto:
I've been going to Hachi's Kitchen for years, and it is one of my favorite restaurants, even though I always get the same thing: the chicken teriyaki with rice or sometimes just the rice and teriyaki sauce. Their teriyaki sauce is the best I have ever had, and I've tried to find anything existing that is as good. We have bought many different brands, and we don't like anything as much as theirs. Sometimes we just order sides of the sauce and take it home with us so that we can make rice and teriyaki sauce at home. The pork pot stickers are pretty good too, although I didn't finish mine. I really like their miso soup, although I only eat the broth. The broth is delicious. I would give this place 6 plates if I could, but since there are only 5 to give, I'll give it 5.

Max:
I love this restaurant! I've been wanting to review this place for a whole long time now. I've been going here since I was very small. And it might just be the best sushi in Chicago. First off, I love the atmosphere, and the Japanese feel of the restaurant is so authentic and fancy. They also give you a hot towel for washing your hands before you eat. The restrooms are some of the nicest I've seen in a restaurant. And right outside of the restroom there's a huge wall of real roses that you can smell, that's right, roses. But now moving on to the food. I got the Soft Shell Crab Maki. It was delicious. I love how the crab legs were sticking out of the crab rolls. And they are also very fun to eat. The crab legs were fried, and I don't eat that much fried crab. And this was awesome! I also tried some of the Rainbow Roll. Its salmon, tuna, avocado, and yellow tail wrapped around a crab stick. That was also very good. Almost all the dishes they serve here come with ginger and wasabi. And that's good for me because I like my food pretty spicy. But not SPICY! just spicy. I love Hachi's Kitchen, so I give them 5 plates.

Revolution Brewing


Hello. Today we will be reviewing Logan Square's Revolution Brewery.


Ruben:
Revolution Brewing. I have been wanting to try Revolution Brewing for a year now! and let me say I was impressed. Revolution Brewing is beyond a cool awesome building, great location, and great decor.
lemme talk about the food. i had the Workingman burger. The bun was great. it tasted very fresh. The bacon went very well with the burger. The burger tasted a little too fatty and and my stomach hurt a little after. The fries were okay not amazing but better then average. We also got the soft pretzel for a appetizer and it was very good. it tasted fresh. not much salt and very soft in the middle. also the mustard that it came with, Oh my god. it tasted so good! some of best damn mustard my taste buds have ever tasted. So that's about it for food. but their service was great our waitress was very nice and the food came out in a reasonable time. I give REVOLUTION BREWING 4.5 plates.

Max:
This is a really good place to get a burger, in my opinion. I think that their burgers are the best thing on the menu. I've been going here for a long time. And everything about this restaurant is really cool. You can see the brewery through a large glass that's about half of the restaurant. And the atmosphere is very authentic brewery. We got the Soft pretzel as our appetizer. It was a delicious pretzel. It came with 2 sauces. One was a beer cheese sauce, and the other was a mustard sauce. The cheese sauce was too rich and creamy, and it gave me a small stomach ache. But that might be because i'm not a big fan of beer cheese. The mustard sauce was very good and it went very well with the pretzel. I got the Hombre Burger. It had cheese, poblano peppers, and avocado. It was very good, though I wasn't a huge fan of the poblano peppers. They were a bit smokey and not just my taste. I was impressed with the avocado. It really complemented my burger. My side was a caesar salad. It was about an average caesar salad. And i enjoyed it, but I've had better caesar salads. But anyway, I love Revolution Brewing. and it was delicious. So I rate Revolution Brewing 4.5 plates.

Otto:
I got a cheddar cheese burger with fries. Their burgers are big and good. They are served on a brioche bun which is toasted, which makes it even more delicious. I couldn't eat the whole thing. Their fries are pretty good, I think they are better than average fries. The pretzel is delicious. Soft and kind of salty, maybe a tiny bit too salty. It comes with a beer cheese sauce which I didn't try. We like to sit in the booths that are upstairs. It's nice because the upstairs is open to the downstairs, you look down on the bar from above. The walls are made out of the wood of old barrels, they are still roundish and make a kind of wavy pattern on the walls. The light fixtures have these cool covers that are made of the metal barrel rings, all crossed to make a globe shape. I like the overall atmosphere of it. There's lots of wood and it feels nice. It's fun to look down into the bar and look at all the pulls of the beer taps, which are all shaped differently and look really cool. Most of them are the Revolution Brewery fists, in all different colors and designs. Overall, I would give them 4 plates.
