Awesome pizza, macaroni & cheese, and a Blue Moon/pear cider draft mix called Perfect Moon. Thick crust pizza is seriously thick!

Great place good beers and good pizza! Also I your over 21, you can join their World Beer Tour for prizes and good deals! :). Over 110 beers here at any time from all over the world!!! We had the Baja Chicken pizza, minus the chicken( Vegetarian here) and it was AMAZING!!! Highly recommend if you come here! We also had the Artichoke dip, which is always great! I would ask for more veggies though and less bread! There will definitely be more visits here! :):):)

Love Old Chicago. Tried the jalapeño pretzels and the BBQ chicken pizza. Fabulous! This is a must stop when the family travels out of town. Glad I have tried a few new dishes to see that their whole menu is fabulous.

This is my favorite late night happy hour in the area! Go here for what it's good for: late night, beer, pizza, sports, service. Late night: there are pretty good deals on drinks and really good deals on food. It's very reasonably priced for the area, and consistently good food and drinks. Beer: Make sure you ask for the seasonal/LTO beer menu! They have a World Beer Tour that allows you to accumulate free stuff just for trying new drinks. They really have something for everyone. Pizza: I know they are known for their Chicago style pizza, but the thin crust was one of the best I've had. The fact that they served it that awesomely late at night says something. Sports: So many TVs everywhere showing different events, and TVs are visible from nearly every seat in the bar area, and some in the dining room. Service: It is difficult to find a place with consistently great service late at night, simply because patrons typically leave lower-than-normal tips with discounted food and drink. I've never had that experience at Old Chicago. The servers truly care about making everyone happy. Occasionally they are slightly understaffed, but I'm always impressed with how speedy and accurate everyone is. I'll be back again and again!

This is by far the best pizza that I have ever had in my LIFE. The pizza is cooked on a tray that makes it just the right consistency without being greasy or dry. My only request is to serve green olives sliced rather than whole on the pizza (they roll off easily) and to bring back Kalamata olives. It's a favorite place for a nice evening out with the family and before this we didn't go out for pizza often. The soups and salads are very good, and I highly recommend the hot pretzel appetizer. The menu is wide ranging and they do serve more than pizza which makes it another favorite for lunch, especially sitting outside in the Summer. There is a full bar, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There are TV's if you like sports but they are not overwhelming to the atmosphere. A+

Good environment, but the pizza was less then Chicago style I was expecting from other Chicago pizza places. The deep dish pizza tasted more like pizza hut.

Came to this location for lunch. I had never been to Old Chicago before. This place gave me the impression of a sports bar that serves really good pizza! Seriously, there were at least 7 flats screens showing all kinds of sports. It may have also been the beer being advertised there. This is in no way a complaint, I actually thought the place was neat. We attempted to seat outside, but ended up going back in, it was 88 degrees in Minnesota and the breeze "abandoned ship". I ordered a pizza with green peppers, sun dried tomatoes and chicken. My pizza was delish, I ordered it deep dish and that was a wonderful idea! I loved it. I had some lemonade with my pizza and it was, of course, not real lemonade. But who cares about drinking delicious natural lemonade?! ME! (lol). Derrick ordered a pepperoni and something else pizza.. I wonder if it was sun dried tomatoes.. (he wants to be like me when he grows up!). He seemed to like his pizza, but told me he liked mine better (I can't blame him!). We had a very good lunch at Old Chicago. Service was good and the food great, will definitely make it back there one day.

Great dinner overall! Chicago Seven (Deep Dish) - Great pizza. Enough cheese for me. Crust was medium, not quite what I call deep dish. The 25oz draft was massive! Ive never seen a mug of beer that big. Friendly staff, patrons seemed great. Would def go back.

We took eight hungry 5th grade boys here after a basketball tournament. Pizza was great (sausage was especially good) and while the beer selection is great (especially for a chain in the 'burbs), the Bells Two Hearted was off. Second time in a row I have experienced bad Bells. I'm not sure what it is...not flat or necessarily old but almost like something was added to it to make it last longer? Plain off. I'll come back for the pizza but I'll probably order beer in the bottle which is a shame given how many tap lines they have.

Another sports bar right next to Brunswick Zone, but the food is better than many. Their pizzas are really good as are the calzones. You have a choice of healthier appetizers too than other sports bars. Their lunch menu is also reasonably priced and they are doing a special for dinner for 2. They have a good selection of drinks, beer, cocktails and wine. They have outdoor seating as well. They have more booths and fewer screens towards the back and I prefer it for a relatively quieter dinner as the typical sports bars can get very loud.

Been hear often and don't know why. I always expect a great experience and get mediocre food and slow service. Ordered a pineapple and jalapeño pizza with my daughter and a friend. Interesting taste after it finally came. I still like the place but need to readjust my expectations before I go again.

Coworkers and I stopped in for lunch today here and overall had a good time. We were quickly greeted, the food arrived fast, and the service was nearly perfect. I had lunch salad and a pizza. The salad was great, and the custom pizza arrived as I ordered. Afterwards, the manager (Ben) checked up on us and gave me a token of appreciation since it was my first time at the restaurant. Summary: Fast and courteous service. Food arrived quickly Food was tasty Followup from the manager was a nice added touch

Football, beer and nachos? SIGN ME UP. The bar of this Eden Prairie Old Chicago is a perfect place to suit up in your purple and gold and enjoy some camaraderie. We had a blast hanging with our "new friends" at this Old Chicago (a bit of a "Cheers" bonding experience)... Had some beers and ordered the nachos, which I have to say are a touchdown in themselves. Of-course Old Chicago is no Oceanaire or Capital Grill, but it has it's own appeal.

I didn't have very high expectations when my friends said we should go there. Wow, they delivered on those low expectations. Took over 20 minutes to get a drink. When I placed my order, my server came back 30 minutes later asking if we were hungry, then I had to remind him that we already placed an order with him. When the food finally did come out you could tell it had been sitting under the heat lamps forever and a day. Save your money and find the nearest applebees.

Sports bars like this are a dime a dozen. The decor, menu, pricing and vibe are very Houlihans/TGIF/Outback. I was here on a Saturday night - which for most restaurants is the busiest night of the week - and was one of only 4 or 5 tables. Not sure if that's because this place is so mediocre or because it's Eden Prairie. The menus were greasy and sticky, and the table wasn't too much better because the dessert card spontaneously glued itself down. I had the worst brownie sampler dessert ever. It was supposed to be 3 brownies: black forest, heath bar and marshmallow/caramel. Instead it was just 3 of the same unrecognizably bad, refrigerated brownies (more fudge than brownie), topped variously with "cherry" sauce, butterscotch, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff, chocolate chips or heath bar bits. I love sweets, but this was really too much.

Dear yelp, I have uniformly low expectations, and typical disdain, for the brightly lit beacons that embody the suburban homogenization of the fine cuisines of the world. If it's not too bland, or way too sweet, then it's not likely to market well to every single demographic in this fine country... and why would you bother starting a business if you can't make EVERYONE happy? I know... I can be a snot. So, I do turn up my nose at just about everything that looks a bit too sculpted to please everyone. Old Chicago is another sore thumb in that vein... A little too much character to even approach being genuine. But, it was late, I was hungry, they were still open, and I was feeling particularly self-abusive. OK, so yeah... the walls are bathed in, theme appropriate, mass-produced reproduction kitschy "art." Not a big surprise. The menu is jam packed with Frankenstein hybrids of Italian American staples... yikes. I read up and down, and up and down, and was able to narrow it down by finding a few items that didn't appear to be bastardized too badly. The pastrami sandwich looked like a good bet and it was a little bit of a switch from the more universally available Reuben, so I went for it with fries. The appropriately friendly waiter person brought everything in good time. And... The sandwich was pretty good. The fries were good. My tea was good. So, what can I say? Snotty guy liked the sandwich. Be warned though... the portions are pretty enormous. heart, Me Oh, and ps: My second visit resulted in some sort of 4 day stomach gimp. I'm not totally sure it was from eating here, but I'm a little gunshy! Will there be a follow-up??? I don't know!

OK food and nice staff. But evening business regulars (and 5 of us discovered this happenstance amongst ourselves when we switched to Champps) got overcharged drinks CHRONICALLY with one bartender while college females brag about no tabs or 1-beer-tabs. Generally a "must-miss" unless you go for a Chicago seven pizza during the day.

Pep rolls are always good, but the service at this location was awful. Our server was nice, but the kitchen and bartenders were slow and it wasn't packed at all. We waited almost 25 minutes for our pep rolls, and getting refills on beers took way too long.

I've always had a love hate relationship with Old Chicago. The food is a notch above Applebee's and TGI Friday's, it is nothing to write home about but I've always enjoyed it somewhat after a couple beers. Where they really shined was their beer selection and the World Beer Tour, they used to have me coming back for the variety of beer alone. Now I'll explain why they deserve a one start rating. I was there recently and received the worst service of my entire life. I'm always kind and respectful to the waitstaff and can put up with a lot of mistakes but this evening sent me over the edge. I recently went here for dinner with my father, we had both had long days and wanted something easy. The restaurant was about half full but we waited 15 minutes while the lone hostess was taking to-go orders, which by itself wasn't a big problem because I'm forgivable when it comes to understaffing. Once we were seated we waited another 15 to 20 minutes for the waitress, who all the time had been serving other tables around us without ever coming over to introduce herself. At this time we already had our drink orders, appetizer, and entrees picked out. After she brought us our beers she literally ignored our table the rest of the evening. The appetizer was brought out by another waiter while I watched our waitress talking and laughing with her coworkers. After we were done with the appetizer we hoped to order another round of beers but our waitress was nowhere to be found. Finally our food comes over, brought over again by another waiter. My father had ordered a well done burger and it was cooked at the very most medium rare. This wouldn't have been such a big problem but the waitress didn't stop by to check for another 15 to 20 minutes, and at that point we had both lost our appetites. After my father politely declined a replacement burger the manager finally came over. We explained to him everything that had happened that evening. He then said he would remove the burger from the bill, but instead of comping my meal or the entire bill he leaves us with a coupon for a free pizza and the remainder of the bill. I will under no circumstances be coming back to this location, they have lost a long time customer, and I suggest you avoid it at all costs.

Old Chicago is one of our favorite places to eat. Our experience has always been great. Our most recent visit was no exception. We ordered the Bacon/Chicken Alfredo deep dish pizza. While not a true Chicago style deep dish, it was tasty and properly prepared. Our server, although a "trainee" was attentive and prompt. She brought me a "taster" sample of a beer I have not tried without being asked. Overall, another enjoyable experience at OC.

I love the fact that old Chicago has so many drink options. They even have framboise! Its a purple beer from Belgium. Great for non beer drinkers like myself. My husband found the tap selection to be impressive too. I would recommend coming here during happy hour for a better deal. I would recommend checking your local old Chicago website for the HH menu. It may vary by location. Now let's talk about their pizza since that is their main speciality. I'm a huge fan of their BBQ chicken pizza. It's tangy and loaded with the right ingredients! If you're a bread person like me, try it deep dish style! Their wings and their Italian nachos are also incredible. Come to think of it, there's nothing I've tried that I didn't like. Service is great too. The EP staff is quite friendly and very informational if you need help with selection. I've only at the patio and bar just so you guys know. I've never had to wait long for seating. The location is connected to an apartment building right across from Walmart. Because of that, parking can be a pain sometimes. I'm already craving pizza just typing this!

This place was amazing from the second we walked in. The service fast and super friendly and proficient. We ordered the Buffalo chicken rolls as an appetizer, these things were freaking amazing. Next time I'm ordering these as my meal and not sharing. Pizza was delicious and a very large menu selection. Plus tons.of beer on tap, and great happy hour and game day drink specials. We've been in the area for 4 days and we finally had a great family meal in a fantastic atmosphere. LOVED IT.

For a chain restaurant, this has to be one of my favorites! Great food, excellent rotating beer selection (World Beer Tour is a great way to try new beers!), and delicious happy hour deals! Let's break this down: 1. The food is solid. I've had one salad on the menu that I didn't particularly care for, but everything else has been excellent! Their deep dish pizzas are some of my favorites, thick and greasy but not overly so, and they have a ton of toppings from which to choose! If you're a garlic lover like me, order garlic as a pizza topping and you can't go wrong as they add tons of slices of garlic cloves, not just a few little minced pieces. Their paninis, burgers, and apps are all good options as well. 2. Beer! World Beer Tour is what's kept me coming back (almost) weekly for about 2 years now. It's basically a way to keep track of all the beers you have tried there, and the goal is to drink all 110. You get fun prizes for hitting beer milestones - t shirts (probably half my wardrobe now...), mugs, a mini cooler, etc. And it's really broadened my beer horizon and helped me discover new types of beer! 3. My favorite happy hour! Great discounts on their apps ($3, $4, $5 and $6 options) and I highly recommend their mini pub pizzas for $4- so addicting! Beers are also discounted, but I believe the drink discounts depend on the day. Either way, it's a delicious cheap way to enjoy a pizza and beer dinner!

We stopped here before bowling because the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. The food we had was what you'd expect from this sort of restaurant. I'd not eaten at an Old Chicago in nearly a decade because I just don't eat at places like this much of the time. Everyone enjoyed their food and the wine was good. We'll come again if we must.

My only reason for visiting Old Chicago as often as I do is for the beer tour during happy hour. Old Chicago is the defacto "extra building" at the business I work for in Eden Prairie, and we hang out here fairly often. My favorite server is Ari, she knows me and the rest of the crew by name, and it feels good to see a familiar face each time we hang out here. She's not just a server to me, she's a friend. The apps during happy hour are pretty good...I love the jerk wings that I bogart from my co-workers' plate after they order them. I come here for beer, and I am working on my 2nd beer tour. During the tour OC offers up mini-tours that have a tshirt prize if you try all 7 or 8 beers in an allotted time (usually a few week time frame). These count toward your regular tour, and help you try beers you might not otherwise order up. It's about as "small town bar" as you can expect in Eden Prairie.

Just had drinks tonight as I had dinner plans elsewhere. Service was very slow. Server didn't know about the beers "because she didn't work last weekend." What?! Idk! I have some friends who are regulars there and said they've never had such a server.

My favorite casual dining in Eden Prairie. I've had most of the items on the menu and have never been disappointed. The Italian Nachos are one of the best appetizers I've had anywhere, and big enough to almost be a meal for two. The pizza is very good and the paninis are fantastic. I wish they offered a traditional calzone with ricotta but the ones they do have are all good. But the real highlight is the always rotating beer selection. No matter what you like or are in the mood for, they've got you covered. I love trying new beers and every time I go there they have something I haven't tried before. I'm there at least once a month and the staff always makes me feel welcome and at home. Kudos.

Didn't eat here, but did sit at the bar and enjoy some of the brews from their excellent selection. + Huge bar area; plenty of seating at or around the bar - Sat at corner near cooler; smelled of stale beer something fierce + Bartender was *extremely* friendly had helpful - offered a ton of great suggestions + Decent local brewery representation + Prices were fair at around $5/brew - Sort of difficult to "find" all of the available brews; menus not comprehensive enough The Madison Old Chicago location could learn a thing or two from this one.

Of all the corporate-y chain restaurants you can go to, Old Chicago feels the least corporate-y and actually serves a good product. I've been part of their World Beer Tour for years which has allowed me to try tons of beers that I otherwise would have avoided but are actually quite delicious. Though their pizzas aren't exactly Chicago deep dish style, they are still some of the better deep dish pizzas in town. Plus, if you are part of their WBT, you get a free pizza every year during your birthday month! Mini beer tours are offered quite frequently throughout the year and always come with a fun t-shirt. If you're low on cash but still want to complete your mini tour, go to their happy hour. $3 pints, $2 mini pizzas and $5 appetizers mean you can fill up without breaking the bank.

My buddy and I went for happy hour during the pick your own beer Mini Tour. I got some Stone Arrogant Bastard and a Surly Furious. AMAZING beers. The best thing is that on Saturday and Sunday their happy hour is 12-6. It is the only OC I have found that does this, but they have garnered thousands of dollars from me by offering it. For the happy hour you get a 25 ounce beer for the price of a pint. Oh yeah! I got my usual happy hour single topping mini pizza for $4. Their pizza is soooo good. I watched a special on them and they use corn meal in their crust which gives it it's unique awesome flavor. The crispiness of the crust is just perfect and the sauce is splendid as well. We had lots of laughs and just a wonderful time. Our waiter was so good we told the manager that he was our best one ever, and that is huge. I have been here over 300 times, and he took the time to talk to us about beer, gave us a sample of beer, and was just an amazing server. Of course they have all the TVs on sports, which is awesome as well. I have 6 world beer tours here, and I am never disappointed.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Instead it was just 3 of the same unrecognizably bad, refrigerated brownies (more fudge than brownie), topped variously with "cherry" sauce, butterscotch, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff, chocolate chips or heath bar bits. I love sweets, but this was really too much.

Dear yelp, I have uniformly low expectations, and typical disdain, for the brightly lit beacons that embody the suburban homogenization of the fine cuisines of the world. If it's not too bland, or way too sweet, then it's not likely to market well to every single demographic in this fine country... and why would you bother starting a business if you can't make EVERYONE happy? I know... I can be a snot. So, I do turn up my nose at just about everything that looks a bit too sculpted to please everyone. Old Chicago is another sore thumb in that vein... A little too much character to even approach being genuine. But, it was late, I was hungry, they were still open, and I was feeling particularly self-abusive. OK, so yeah... the walls are bathed in, theme appropriate, mass-produced reproduction kitschy "art." Not a big surprise. The menu is jam packed with Frankenstein hybrids of Italian American staples... yikes. I read up and down, and up and down, and was able to narrow it down by finding a few items that didn't appear to be bastardized too badly. The pastrami sandwich looked like a good bet and it was a little bit of a switch from the more universally available Reuben, so I went for it with fries. The appropriately friendly waiter person brought everything in good time. And... The sandwich was pretty good. The fries were good. My tea was good. So, what can I say? Snotty guy liked the sandwich. Be warned though... the portions are pretty enormous. heart, Me Oh, and ps: My second visit resulted in some sort of 4 day stomach gimp. I'm not totally sure it was from eating here, but I'm a little gunshy! Will there be a follow-up??? I don't know!

OK food and nice staff. But evening business regulars (and 5 of us discovered this happenstance amongst ourselves when we switched to Champps) got overcharged drinks CHRONICALLY with one bartender while college females brag about no tabs or 1-beer-tabs. Generally a "must-miss" unless you go for a Chicago seven pizza during the day.

Pep rolls are always good, but the service at this location was awful. Our server was nice, but the kitchen and bartenders were slow and it wasn't packed at all. We waited almost 25 minutes for our pep rolls, and getting refills on beers took way too long.

I've always had a love hate relationship with Old Chicago. The food is a notch above Applebee's and TGI Friday's, it is nothing to write home about but I've always enjoyed it somewhat after a couple beers. Where they really shined was their beer selection and the World Beer Tour, they used to have me coming back for the variety of beer alone. Now I'll explain why they deserve a one start rating. I was there recently and received the worst service of my entire life. I'm always kind and respectful to the waitstaff and can put up with a lot of mistakes but this evening sent me over the edge. I recently went here for dinner with my father, we had both had long days and wanted something easy. The restaurant was about half full but we waited 15 minutes while the lone hostess was taking to-go orders, which by itself wasn't a big problem because I'm forgivable when it comes to understaffing. Once we were seated we waited another 15 to 20 minutes for the waitress, who all the time had been serving other tables around us without ever coming over to introduce herself. At this time we already had our drink orders, appetizer, and entrees picked out. After she brought us our beers she literally ignored our table the rest of the evening. The appetizer was brought out by another waiter while I watched our waitress talking and laughing with her coworkers. After we were done with the appetizer we hoped to order another round of beers but our waitress was nowhere to be found. Finally our food comes over, brought over again by another waiter. My father had ordered a well done burger and it was cooked at the very most medium rare. This wouldn't have been such a big problem but the waitress didn't stop by to check for another 15 to 20 minutes, and at that point we had both lost our appetites. After my father politely declined a replacement burger the manager finally came over. We explained to him everything that had happened that evening. He then said he would remove the burger from the bill, but instead of comping my meal or the entire bill he leaves us with a coupon for a free pizza and the remainder of the bill. I will under no circumstances be coming back to this location, they have lost a long time customer, and I suggest you avoid it at all costs.

Old Chicago is one of our favorite places to eat. Our experience has always been great. Our most recent visit was no exception. We ordered the Bacon/Chicken Alfredo deep dish pizza. While not a true Chicago style deep dish, it was tasty and properly prepared. Our server, although a "trainee" was attentive and prompt. She brought me a "taster" sample of a beer I have not tried without being asked. Overall, another enjoyable experience at OC.

I love the fact that old Chicago has so many drink options. They even have framboise! Its a purple beer from Belgium. Great for non beer drinkers like myself. My husband found the tap selection to be impressive too. I would recommend coming here during happy hour for a better deal. I would recommend checking your local old Chicago website for the HH menu. It may vary by location. Now let's talk about their pizza since that is their main speciality. I'm a huge fan of their BBQ chicken pizza. It's tangy and loaded with the right ingredients! If you're a bread person like me, try it deep dish style! Their wings and their Italian nachos are also incredible. Come to think of it, there's nothing I've tried that I didn't like. Service is great too. The EP staff is quite friendly and very informational if you need help with selection. I've only at the patio and bar just so you guys know. I've never had to wait long for seating. The location is connected to an apartment building right across from Walmart. Because of that, parking can be a pain sometimes. I'm already craving pizza just typing this!

This place was amazing from the second we walked in. The service fast and super friendly and proficient. We ordered the Buffalo chicken rolls as an appetizer, these things were freaking amazing. Next time I'm ordering these as my meal and not sharing. Pizza was delicious and a very large menu selection. Plus tons.of beer on tap, and great happy hour and game day drink specials. We've been in the area for 4 days and we finally had a great family meal in a fantastic atmosphere. LOVED IT.

I have been here many times but today has been the worst, not the food but our waiter. He seams to pissed off at the world and not really care about use. I usually have better with the waitress.

For a chain restaurant, this has to be one of my favorites! Great food, excellent rotating beer selection (World Beer Tour is a great way to try new beers!), and delicious happy hour deals! Let's break this down: 1. The food is solid. I've had one salad on the menu that I didn't particularly care for, but everything else has been excellent! Their deep dish pizzas are some of my favorites, thick and greasy but not overly so, and they have a ton of toppings from which to choose! If you're a garlic lover like me, order garlic as a pizza topping and you can't go wrong as they add tons of slices of garlic cloves, not just a few little minced pieces. Their paninis, burgers, and apps are all good options as well. 2. Beer! World Beer Tour is what's kept me coming back (almost) weekly for about 2 years now. It's basically a way to keep track of all the beers you have tried there, and the goal is to drink all 110. You get fun prizes for hitting beer milestones - t shirts (probably half my wardrobe now...), mugs, a mini cooler, etc. And it's really broadened my beer horizon and helped me discover new types of beer! 3. My favorite happy hour! Great discounts on their apps ($3, $4, $5 and $6 options) and I highly recommend their mini pub pizzas for $4- so addicting! Beers are also discounted, but I believe the drink discounts depend on the day. Either way, it's a delicious cheap way to enjoy a pizza and beer dinner!

We stopped here before bowling because the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. The food we had was what you'd expect from this sort of restaurant. I'd not eaten at an Old Chicago in nearly a decade because I just don't eat at places like this much of the time. Everyone enjoyed their food and the wine was good. We'll come again if we must.

My only reason for visiting Old Chicago as often as I do is for the beer tour during happy hour. Old Chicago is the defacto "extra building" at the business I work for in Eden Prairie, and we hang out here fairly often. My favorite server is Ari, she knows me and the rest of the crew by name, and it feels good to see a familiar face each time we hang out here. She's not just a server to me, she's a friend. The apps during happy hour are pretty good...I love the jerk wings that I bogart from my co-workers' plate after they order them. I come here for beer, and I am working on my 2nd beer tour. During the tour OC offers up mini-tours that have a tshirt prize if you try all 7 or 8 beers in an allotted time (usually a few week time frame). These count toward your regular tour, and help you try beers you might not otherwise order up. It's about as "small town bar" as you can expect in Eden Prairie.

Just had drinks tonight as I had dinner plans elsewhere. Service was very slow. Server didn't know about the beers "because she didn't work last weekend." What?! Idk! I have some friends who are regulars there and said they've never had such a server.

My favorite casual dining in Eden Prairie. I've had most of the items on the menu and have never been disappointed. The Italian Nachos are one of the best appetizers I've had anywhere, and big enough to almost be a meal for two. The pizza is very good and the paninis are fantastic. I wish they offered a traditional calzone with ricotta but the ones they do have are all good. But the real highlight is the always rotating beer selection. No matter what you like or are in the mood for, they've got you covered. I love trying new beers and every time I go there they have something I haven't tried before. I'm there at least once a month and the staff always makes me feel welcome and at home. Kudos.

Didn't eat here, but did sit at the bar and enjoy some of the brews from their excellent selection. + Huge bar area; plenty of seating at or around the bar - Sat at corner near cooler; smelled of stale beer something fierce + Bartender was *extremely* friendly had helpful - offered a ton of great suggestions + Decent local brewery representation + Prices were fair at around $5/brew - Sort of difficult to "find" all of the available brews; menus not comprehensive enough The Madison Old Chicago location could learn a thing or two from this one.

Of all the corporate-y chain restaurants you can go to, Old Chicago feels the least corporate-y and actually serves a good product. I've been part of their World Beer Tour for years which has allowed me to try tons of beers that I otherwise would have avoided but are actually quite delicious. Though their pizzas aren't exactly Chicago deep dish style, they are still some of the better deep dish pizzas in town. Plus, if you are part of their WBT, you get a free pizza every year during your birthday month! Mini beer tours are offered quite frequently throughout the year and always come with a fun t-shirt. If you're low on cash but still want to complete your mini tour, go to their happy hour. $3 pints, $2 mini pizzas and $5 appetizers mean you can fill up without breaking the bank.

My buddy and I went for happy hour during the pick your own beer Mini Tour. I got some Stone Arrogant Bastard and a Surly Furious. AMAZING beers. The best thing is that on Saturday and Sunday their happy hour is 12-6. It is the only OC I have found that does this, but they have garnered thousands of dollars from me by offering it. For the happy hour you get a 25 ounce beer for the price of a pint. Oh yeah! I got my usual happy hour single topping mini pizza for $4. Their pizza is soooo good. I watched a special on them and they use corn meal in their crust which gives it it's unique awesome flavor. The crispiness of the crust is just perfect and the sauce is splendid as well. We had lots of laughs and just a wonderful time. Our waiter was so good we told the manager that he was our best one ever, and that is huge. I have been here over 300 times, and he took the time to talk to us about beer, gave us a sample of beer, and was just an amazing server. Of course they have all the TVs on sports, which is awesome as well. I have 6 world beer tours here, and I am never disappointed.
