Even though Houlihan's is really expensive, I like to splurge every once in a while and eat here. The food is great and really tasty. They don't have anything really extraordinary on their menu, but even all their standard meals are really good and, for me, unforgetable. The service here is awesome and you will likely get a friendly server. If sometimes I'm short on cash, my friends and I go in just for their dessert and drinks menu. Those are reasonably priced and worth the trip!

Loving Houlihan's. I used to live around the corner from this place and went here all the time. Some of my best times in the big bad city were at this place. They have great food and drinks. The people that hang out here have always been nice and easy to meet. I will be going here for the rest of my life.

Houlihan's is a nice place to sit back and relax with friends. The atmosphere is fun and nice for anything from meeting mom and dad to a first date. If you are around this location at breakfast then drop on by. I haven't tried it myself, but my friends all swear by it. You will spend more here than your average spot, but you are getting what you pay for.

I've been here twice in the last month and I'm constantly amazed by the fact that I thought it'd be a TGI Friday's type place, and it's not even close. Food is better, has variety [the shrooms are fantastic] and nightly specials make it easy to a pitcher of flavored long island ice tea for only $3.50. Yes, it's pricier than your usual fare, but it's certainly worth it. Their mini dessert menu is also great since you'll likely be stuffed, but a small dessert is just what's needed.

Houlihans is one of my favorite places to have dinner at. The ambiance of this restaurant is great. While it is a casual place, which you can even enjoy with family and friends, it has a very sophisticated air to it. They have large, comfy booths and dim lighting. The menu is extensive and features mainly American fare, with a few fusion items on the menu. My favorite thing on their menu are the grilled shrimp. They are amazing - a bunch of huge shrimp marinated and grilled on skewers, with a side of their great house mashed potatoes. This is one dinner place you do not want to miss!

You can't be disappointed. Everything here is mediocre. Don't come in here looking for a fine dining experience. The food is average, as is the service. I'd say this is a half step above an Applebees or Chili's. I imagine the only reason to come here would be out of convenience, but there are definitely much nicer and more quality places out there.

I can't find a reason to go back here. I found the food to be bland and boring for the most part and the ambiance isn't anything spectacular either. They're supposed to have a pretty good onion loaf, kind of like a heap of onion rings - mine came soggy. I think the burgers at South Loop Club are a lot tastier.

I would say that Houlihan’s has a better breakfast than lunch. The breakfast buffet is hearty thanks to favorites like sausage, bacon, eggs, French toast, yogurt, and sweet rolls. The lunch menu has very standard American fare like sandwiches, salads, pot roast, and chicken fingers. The menu is a huge metallic binder and can probably injure someone.

This is a good place to go for a filling meal that is affordable. I love to go here and have their tuna in the wonton wrappers. It is an appetizer but it is really great. They have a good menu that has so many different kinds of options on it, from pasta, to steaks, to even seafood. I love going here with my buddies and enjoying a good meal. We always get a good sized portion for a good price, no skimping here.

Houlihan's is a good lunch spot, although the wait can get pretty long during the weekdays. The tuna salad is great, and I also love the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. It's not listed on the menu anymore, but if you ask they'll be more than happy to prepare it for you. Houlihan's is a place to get decent food at average prices.
