Delmonico Restaurant — Restaurant in Chicago

Literally one of the most consistently quiet down to earth eating halls downtown and that's rare. YES it will get a crowd during peak hours, but most do not STAY and eat so your dealing more with foot traffic then a wall to wall crowd.

The selection is what I like to call traditional Pan-America samplings, by which I mean the most common culinary dishes one might find in every cliche buffet in the USA.

Friend Rice.

Steamed Veggies

Fresh Fruit

Chicken served grilled and fried

Giant generic piece of fish

Beef prepared in 2 to 4 ways

Eggs in a salad or possible boiled

They're literally trying to let our taste buds combine into a Captain Planet into the G rated equivalent of food.

Let me be clear nothing mentioned above is meant ad an insult, they do a by the pound purchase method which people feel how they feel about this format but personally it doesn't bother me.

The seafood selection is primarily fried so if your looking for a detailed glossary when it comes to their sea food you are in the wrong place.

The back end which is rarely advertised and not easily visible due to design they have a traditional continental/almost food truck like mini order booth that deals primarily in the previously mentioned style of food.

I.E. omelettes egg sandwiches blt's however that changed throughout the day.

At the end of a long work day or on the way home you'll find something comforting to eat here as long as you have a lust for the most common foods from around the country expertly prepared.

Only thing not on the menu is cheese cakes...

The food isn't really good. I basically come here for convenience. I've had problems here before but figured I would give them another chance. Welp, this was the final straw. I ordered a breakfast special, they skipped over my order and prepared all the ones that came in after. Then when I asked about my order they said, oh your ordered the pancake special. I told them no, there breakfast special. I don't even eat pancakes, so I wouldn't order them. Instead of just owning up to there mistake and apologizing, they wanted to argue about it. Its too early in the morning for this, so I simply just asked for a refund. But they continued to want to argue. Such a waste of...

So does this place even consider how they need to check on the quality of the food they serve? I tried this out for the first time today. Salad was almost gone. Minimal amount of add ons. I got a small egg roll and 2 chicken wings . Got to y office and saw that the wings had been reheated several times over but were in fact cold and hard. The meat inside was a dark color so I’ll be nice and say they were from yesterday. The egg roll? Cold. Definitely several hours cold. The olives in the salad bar were definitely ready for the trash and while we are at it, throw away the tomatoes that have already lived well past their...
