Hey guys, I'll be passing through Chicago this week and wanted to pop into the CIP up north. How is the place and what do you guys reccomend?

I'd recommend going on a weeknight if you want to get in and out, the wait on Thurs-Fri-Sat is often over 2 hours in the evening.

I'll be passing through during the afternoon, so I was planning on a late lunch.

It's all good!

I've enjoyed:

Drinks: cheeseburger in paradise, lady of the sea, hemisphere dancer

Appetizers: mini-cheeseburgers, conch fritters, crab cakes, onion six-strings, sweet potato chips

Sandwiches: jerk chicken wrap, el cubano, pulled pork

Pizza: pepperoni, cheeseburger

Dessert: banana pudding YUM

Have Fun! I managed to win a Dos Equis neon bar light there Saturday night!

(I live a charmed life!)

For future reference, the Chicago CIP doesn't open until 4 during the week. I learned that the hard way today.

That s*cks! I hate it when that happens.

Yeah, it just kind of topped off a less than stellar trip.
