My parents like it so we've had it as dine in and carry out at the Metcalf location several times over the years. I've never had, what I'd call anyway, a good meal, nor have I been impressed. The sides have always been decent but the meat unimpressive.

I guess everyone has different tastes.

95th and Metcalf was the worst for me. Clay and I hit up one in an industrial district that was the only one I ate at before trying OP. Won't go back. Industrial or bust for me. My very favorite, and it was Clay's too. I'm very interested in Q39 now.

Jack Stack probably has the best sides in the business but their meat sucks for flavor.

Thanks for confirming that I'm not crazy.
