I haven't been to any of their restaurants in the past 5 years, except for a quick jog inside to get a dozen cinnamon rolls occasionally. I do remember them serving "adequate" food when I was there last time...but nothing memorable enough to make me PLAN on going back there, especially if one lives in Wrigleyville when there's too many other choices! :) Zz.
