"I have eaten at Woody's many times but this is my first review of it. If you follow me, you will remember that I am partial to Prime Rib. Just like the Chicken Fried Steak is the touchstone of any Diner, so is the Prime Rib for any Fine Dining restaurant. The thing is, Woody's is more of a Roadhouse, but their Prime Rib can compete with those white tablecloth establishments. Woody's offers Prime Rib Dinners on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only and only after 4:00 PM. The portion served is huge (see my photo and is accompanied by a big baked potato, au jus, and horseradish sauce. (If I had to fault the plate, it would be that they do not include a vegetable but, frankly, there is more than enough to satisfy almost any appetite. The meat was tender and juicy and cooked spot on to my preferred doneness of medium rare. Woody's coats the roast with a peppery dry rub, which is a perfect complement to the meat. The price (as of this writing is $24.99, and has not risen since before COVID. To their credit, unlike many places, Woody's does not tack on a surcharge. I added a small green salad (bleu cheese dressing, of course and an Arnold Palmer to drink (free refills , bringing my tab to $32.47, not including a 25% tip. Three cheers to Woody's for offering a 10% discount to active and retired military, police, and fire personnel. (Please note: This discount can only be applied to regular menu items and, since it is a week end special, the Prime Rib is not eligible. By the way, Woody's has a very complete menu, so don't be put off if you're not a carnivore. I have never had a bad meal or a poor experience at Woody's so, with confidence, I can say that Woody's is Highly Recommended."

"This review is an update from one I wrote two months ago. We were generously invited back by the restaurant owners for a complimentary meal to make up for our previous experience. My husband and I truly appreciate that Chicago Waffles West Loop wanted to rectify the mistake from our first visit. This time, our experience was wonderful, and I have nothing but positive remarks. The owners reached out to us via email, sincerely apologizing for our earlier visit and inviting us back for a redo. We visited on a Sunday afternoon with a reservation for 1 PM, and upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the owner. We were seated at a lovely table in a cozy corner. I ordered the Cheddar Waffles with Beef Brisket and a Mimosa, while my husband chose the Country Fried Chicken with a Berry Mojito. The beef brisket was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the waffles were light and fluffy inside, perfectly golden and crispy on the outside. I enjoyed every bite! My husband commented that his chicken was also tender and juicy, and he found his mojito to be delicious—smooth and perfectly balanced. As an extra treat, the owners surprised us with a complimentary waffle flight that included chocolate, red velvet, green tea, and buttermilk waffles to take home. Overall, our experience was fantastic. I highly recommend Chicago Waffles West Loop as a great spot for breakfast or brunch with family, friends, or that special someone."
