Delane Heldt: Negroni slushy, fried fish and cole slaw are all delicious.
Kisha Johnson-Smith: Parsons is a nice neighborhood find! The hush puppies, fish & Amish chicken were pretty good. We will return for the Hot Chicken. The Negroni slushy is a must as well!!

Taco Restaurant · Near North Side · 120 tips and reviews
Carrie Collins: Had the fish and chips and pork belly. Both spot on with the flavors. Lively atmosphere, frozen margaritas, and great music complete the experience!
Avinash Salgam: The frozen margaritas are potent
Curtis Hiller: Kobe burger taco is one of the best burgers I've had in town. Frozen margaritas were boss, too. Definitely slow, though.
Ben Gasparini: Amazing DDH beers, slushy cocktails and an entertaining staff. Best brewery in Chi so far!
Clayton Hauck: One of Chicago’s best breweries. Often a line to get in but the beer is great. Don’t overlook the frozen drinks!
Paul Luning: You could argue this is the best beer in Chicago - especially hazy IPA’s (Juicy Pants, Son of Juice) and stouts (Fat Pug). Great space too, small and comfortable.
Kenney Marlatt: They do a Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 3-6 with $1 PBRs and $5 Negroni Slushies.
Justin Kadis: Get a half or full pound of peel and each shrimp and the normal or spicy chicken sandwich. Also, don't miss the Negroni slushy!
Dustin Haley: Just as good as the original, however, it is not as lively due to the patio being much smaller without any yard games.

Missy K: This place is dope! Love the cocktails, Spicy Gigi and the frozen Piña Colada are my faves. Staff is super awesome, and playing Shuffleboard is so fun! We love this place, coming back very soon!
Allison Norman: Expect 2 hr wait or more for a court, but super fun place to hang out, play board games and have a few tropical cocktails until its your turn. Perfect escape from the city (and especially winter)!
Kevin M. McNally, CMP: Remember when your Grandparents played this? This is a great venue for a night out for two or a group. Fun accented by beverages. And if you like healthy competition...go for it!

Noodle Restaurant · West Town · 39 tips and reviews
Maggie: Disappointing, not worth the wait. Beware of the yuzu slushie.
Dana Jensen: Adorable cups for the coconut slush, fast service once you're seated, and crazy yummy braised pork in the ramen. Love the thicker noodles and the intense mala spice in the regular high five noodles.
Samantha Rangel: Avoid overexerting yourself and just opt for the half spice. Imo the broth is richer and more enjoyable than the face melting full spice. Slushies are super fun size read: v small.
Kristina Shahoian: Check out the island squeeze frozen Cocktail Trailer for yummy frozen margaritas, piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris ( next to main to main stage) Wisconsin & Lincoln
