Looney Booney's Thoughts 1/16/2003

My friends and I make our way over to Chickie's (as we call it) every Monday night after work. We love Monday's becasue it is karaoke night. I personally and not a huge fan of the stage but my friends love it. They over the last few months have become Monday night legends at Chickie's. It is a great atomsphere and the staff is excellent. We go there to cool off, watch the games and just have a good time. Pros: inexpensive, good people more

Overated 1/12/2003

This place is just overated. The food isn't the best, and they work off the hype of marketing of the sports teams. It's a great marketing ploy. Cons: Crowded, Overpriced more

Good times 12/11/2002

I recently went to CHickie's and had such a great time. The staff was great. In fact I had one of the managers wait on me and they were extremely nice. I can understand that it gets hectic, so at times the staff gets flustered. But what do you expect when the wait is 2 hours long! the food was excellent. it's a good place to meet good looking people and enjoy good food! Pros: good food, good atmosphere Cons: waiting more

chicies 11/29/2002

Good Bar. Althought the menu is very lacking. It does have good food to nible. Dont expect a full meal. They claim to be a seafood place but dont expect it to rank in your top ten. The bar on the other hand is exceptional. more

A cool place to hang... 10/17/2002

IF you can deal with a wait. It's not the place ot go for a quick meal. But if you like a loud, fun place with great food, go and have a blast! Can be a little pricey depending on what you order. Don't go in there expecting a feast for $20, you'll spend that much at the bar while you wait for a table! Ignore the negative reviews here, obviously some people don't know how to go with the flow and have al ittle fun! Pros: good food, quick service, good socializing Cons: long wait for a table more

Free Beer Bribes 10/6/2002

The food was good, but dont go expecting to catch up with your friends--management escorts you out when you overstay your welcome (an hour)...he will atleast give you a pitcher but for 6 people, cmon now. Cons: management, abrupt service, long waits more

some one's thought's 9/19/2002

Disagree,food is not that good let alone great!!!! The price of drinks is a little above average and the GREAT PETE HIMSELF COULD US A PERSONALITY MAKEOVER... The reason he's so successful is because of 610 WIP Radio host Angelo Catalli who for the record is awesome and it's a chick hangout. Sorry if you disagree but that's my take on it. more

A great place to hang out, but oh, the wait! But it's worth it! As they say, "It's more fun to eat at a bar than to drink at a restaurant". Pros: food, atmosphere Cons: waiting more

  • In Short
    This spot has plenty of parking, lots of neon signs, TV sets tuned to the game and an ATM just inside the front door. Friendly servers attend to hungry families' needs. The menu isn't large, but what's not to like? Hardshell crabs in season star here in either house-style or spicier Baltimore style. Also try year-round favorites like Old Bay-doused crab fries and meaty buffalo wings.
