“My daughter brought the noon special today bierocks with German potato salad and drink very very good I would highly recommend this place. Washington needs a good HOMEMADE cafe even the bread was homemade. Only reason why it’s 4.9 stars is because hamburger was to brown and the potato salad was a little too oily for my comfort. BUT WE WILL be back. Like she told my daughter they’re learning so give them a chance“

“I would like to leave a positive review for Blake. He was working the "to-go orders." I have had an issue the past two times I ordered a steak dinner. I get medium rare and both times the steak was well done. Which is upsetting. I called in both times and was taken care of and got an apology... Which I appreciated it. However, this time I asked to please please ensure it's medium rare. This time around my steak is perfect!!! So I wanted to say thank you Blake for ensuring my order was correct! I really enjoy this location! Everyone is always super friendly each time I come out to eat or even get it to go. Thanks Longhorn staff!“

“I had a military reunion and Old Chicago catered it for me. The staff and management was amazing and everything was ready on time they helped load everything in to the vehicle. The food was a hit with everyone and there was nothing left at the end of the night. Apparently the ranch dressing is the best around because there was a “fight” on who got to take the left over ranch home with them! It was a great time and I highly recommend Old Chicago to anyone needing a catered event.“

“I’ll recommend it because the food was good. The service was terrible. Waited 10 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order then I received my appetizer before my drink. I had no silverware to eat said appetizer with. The waitress wasn’t friendly to add to the dissatisfaction. Maybe she just had a bad day, so I’ll go back. The caramel butter cake was to die for!“
