Best WLM Reviews
Cursed burger hit the spot! Cooked fresh to order, loaded with bacon and cooked jalapeños, I’m glad I gave it a try. The previous reviews gave me doubts, but a really wanted a burger and had been curious about the hype. No, they didn’t announce “cheezborger” for our order (group of 4) and they did have Coke, not Pepsi ????. The fries were just ok, crinkle cut, nothing special. I’ve read a few reviews commenting the burgers were bland, but I guess if I prefer loading mine with jalapeños, sauté onions and more, then I do get flavor. The double burger was just the right size, although you can get up to a 4 party burger.
Truly you knew what you were going to get from the Billy Goat ???? before you even got in line.
Overpriced sloppy Chicago food. The Billy Goat owes everything SNL and the Belushi Brothers ????????
So stop complaining. Eat your cheeseboiger down your beer belch a few times on the plane and rave about Chicago food when you are not in Chicago
Ok, so, if you want to get full on a airport budget, go here. It's by far the best place in midway. Get a real Italian beef with all the peppers. Good stuff. And yes, if you know what an Italian beef sandwich is, it's sloppy, tasty and the service is certainly the fastest in the airport that I've found. Your neighbor on the airplane may not appreciate it much, but your stomach will!
I went here for a meal while waiting for my flight and I was quite impressed both with the quality of the food and the prices.
I opted out of breakfast, even though it was six in the morning and instead I got a cheeseburger and fries. After they call your order, they let you add your own toppings before they wrap up your sandwich which was a nice touch.
In terms of taste, the burger was actually pretty good and the crinkle cut fries (which you definitely don’t find everywhere) tasted delicious and were hot.
Definitely recommend checking this place out for a reasonably priced meal in the airport if your flying from here.
Like an honest review? Follow me.
The line at 7am was fairly long and moved pretty quick (read on and you'll know why). The cashier wasn't exactly friendly and it was difficult to understand him. But, there was two places to tip him. ???? Why? A tip shows gratitude for doing something personal for me. You took my order (your job) in the most minimal way possible and, were rather blaise about doing so. Here's my tip - get an attitude adjustment, or a different job.
When the orders were ready, rather than call out our order # at the top of our receipt, they read out what was in the bag. ???? If I was picking up for a group, like the customer two ahead of me, I would be totally lost.
The food. ???? I ordered a breakfast plate with scrambled eggs and bacon. $11.71 Not a bad price considering the location and the cost of eggs now days. The bacon left much to be desired (rubbery), but... it's an airport greasy spoon, and a fast food one at that. That being said, I would rather eat McDonald's bacon. The hash browns were mostly undercooked, with bits of burnt thrown in. Regular white bread, and a small selection of jelly were the best part of the meal (though being gf and diabetic, I couldn't eat it ????). My eggs on the other hand were partly raw. I don't mean "wet", I mean RAW. Can anyone say salmonella? I tried my best to get a picture of it because Idk how to post a video on here, but the portion of egg that was liquid encased in the cooked was about the size of the palm of my hand. Not a tiny amount. The majority of my eggs. I am already at my gate or I would have demanded my money back.
Needless to say if I ever come back, I will check my meal before I walk away.
Chicago institution so figure it is worth a try.
There are better burgers in Chicago but that said the price and quality was fair for what you can get at the airport. It was surprisingly good and if I was in a pinch I would prefer over other food options at the airport.
I had the grilled chicken breast sandwitch and it was not bad for being under $10. It is not grilled fresh and they are just reheating it on the grill. The chicken breast itself is pretty good with blend of spices on it. The chicken breast itself was fairly large I would say at least 125g. It is not served with any sauce which I think is missing from making this a better sandwich. I gave it 4 stars given the options at the airport are not that good but this seemed like a healthy option.
One of (if not the best) place to eat at Midway! I was here for a flight to Memphis, TN in the morning, and the other (two) breakfast establishments in the airport all had extremely long lines. We were able to place an order for takeout here, and got surprisingly good food without a very long wait or standing in any lines. I ordered an egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich, and it was served on a tasty bun. I would highly recommend dining here if a Midway. A great option!
