A vegarian staple, but food disappointing
Monday, July 25, 2005
Chicago Diner is a vegetarian mainstay in Chicago, but the food is ordinary and needs improvement. The menu has a lot of interesting choices, but each of three times I've been there, I've been disappointed. The vegetarain gyros sandwhish is extremely dry on equally dry and ordinary bread, and the sauce was tasteless. I had to drown it in mustard. Coleslaw was also dry and bland. Ditto on all of the above comments for other sandwhich offerings. Breakfast is slightly better, but again, the food was incredibly underseasoned and undersauced all around. Desserts, however, were excellent. Go if you must, but you'd be better off taking a trip north to the Heartland in Roger's Park or Blind Faith in Evanston if tasty food is what you are seeking.
