Skybridge Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

I was super excited to come across this gem while waiting for my connection at O'Hare. I intended to order the Gyros Platter, but they were out of the gyro meat for the day, so I opted for the Chicken Pita. The menu didn't say it came with fries, but I made sure to ask and the employee said that everything is served with fries.

The pita was delicious and only $12!! A steal for airport food. The chicken itself was packed with flavor, char-grilled with a Mediterranean seasoning. The other toppings were lettuce, onion, tzatziki, and tomato. The serving of fries was also very generous, and they were perfectly fried.

Service was incredibly quick. They had all the ingredients ready and just needed to assemble the wrap, so the whole process was only a few minutes.

There is seating, but it's just 2 high top tables that seat 2 people each, and both were occupied. I ended up carrying my food to my gate and...

This one star is dedicated purely to the single staffed bartender who I watched during my 10-15 min stay be rude to potential customers, turning them away - a rather curious thing to do given there were only 2 other gentlemen at the bar. After eating my bowl of soup, I asked for the menu once more to order more food, as I was on a long layover. Then the rudeness was turned on me because she said the food I had been ordering was meant to be ordered somewhere else behind me, although she was bringing it to me from behind her bar and I was clearly ordering off the menu she provided. She then began to chastise me about not ordering alcohol, it being only 3:00 in the afternoon. I actually would have loved to have a few drinks before my flight, but chose to cancel my additional food order and future drinks due to her confusingly unappreciative attitude...

We had three and a half hours between flights so we decided to explore O'Hare International Airport. We were looking for a place to have a very long relaxed lunch. Most of the airport was pretty crowded, as were the restaurants. We finally wandered into the the wing where our gate was located. It was pretty empty.

That is where we found Skybridge. We found seats at the bar right away. The bartender was very friendly and engaging. His recommendations for drinks were perfect. The food was really good. I had the Chicago Style Hot Dog and my wife the BLT. Both were excellent. The French fries were very good as well, made even better by the bartender's suggestion of celery salt. The bonus was the fun conversations with other patrons. It was a great place to spend a couple of hours...
