On a recent afternoon I found myself in the I Drive area and
as we drove by Uno Chicago Bar and Grill we realized that neither one of us had
been there in years and decided to give it a try to see if it was the still
good.
As we walked in we realized that it was a very large place
with very few people dining in it. I didn’t have the greatest feeling about our
choice, but we were already seated and I wanted to give them the benefit of the
doubt.
From the “Hand Made Burger” section I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Burger –
Well Done. When it arrived it actually looked quite good, it was definitely a
Homemade Patty, the bacon looked good and the Challah Roll looked fresh and
delicious.
Then I bit in to it and realized that it wasn’t well done at
all, in fact it was pink and cold.
OK, send it back (which I hate to do, but I did want to
enjoy my Burger) The only probably now is that my friend already had his meal
and he shouldn’t have to wait for mine to come back out. Then the manager came
over for the save and offered me a complimentary soup from the soup bar, then
listed the choices for the day.
I helped myself to the Broccoli Cheese Soup while my friend
ate his meal, then about the time he was done my Burger came out and this time
it was cooked correctly and was actually quite tasty.
My biggest complaint was not that my Burger came out wrong,
(It happens) but my portion of the bill was $15 for the Burger and the drink
(not including tip), as well as the fact that we were there for over an hour
and a half. I feel that although it did end up being a good Burger that you can
get just as good a meal somewhere else for much less money, an in half of the
time.
As I look at the 10 previous locations of Uno on
urbanspoon.com I see that 6 of them are already closed. I wonder if this
location will be able to survive.
