Tonight was my wife's birthday. I took her to Old Chicago for dinner to this location on Iliff and Buckley. I also had my two kids and my three nephews all 9 years and under. Exactly one hour passed since we had ordered our food and no

We have had consistently good food and service at Old Chicago. Especially like the calzones and pasta dishes. We don't go there to watch sports, so we usually sit in the side area away from the bar; more quiet and easier to chat. Love their beer selections.
4Food is good, espwcially the personal size pizza. I like the thin and crispy crust. Actually everything I've had has been good - appetizers (doughy pretzels) and calzones and larger thin crust pizzas - not too much of anything, a well-balanced blend of cheese, meat and sauce.
The bar service is slow at best. Most of the wait staff is good and quite sociable - have had one waitress who is a bit standoffish and heard others say the same. Overall, the food is good, the bar service mediocre and most wait persons are quick and friendly.
What drew me to the establishment was Wednesday night trivia which they have just eliminated. The explanation form the manager was that Saturday was so much better. Duh! Saturday is better everywhere, naturally. The woman who does Saturday trivia is harsh - hard to understand with way too much volume in the mic. Otherplayers have mentioned it also but she seems to disregard their comments. I'll now go elsewhere for my trivia.

Pros: Good personal size pizza and most everything else I've tried.
Cons: Slow bar service. Most waitresses good, a couple not so good.
Always a great place to watch sports, fill my belly with beer & food, or test my brain with a little trivia. Efficient & helpful service makes the time that much better.
