Prairie Tap

I didn’t like the beer selection, and liquor prices were super high. I had a Caesar salad with chicken and it was actually better that I expected… Or at least more food anyway. :p I probably won’t return though.

When observing this restaurant stall at the airport, I didn’t see B*TCH on the menu, however that’s exactly what We got when We ordered our meals to go.
While I have no idea what the woman’s name was who took me and my fiancé’s dinner orders, you better believe that if I did, I would have let it be known and her boss (if he/​she read this Unilocal review) would fire her. I really cannot get over HOW INCREDIBLY RUDE and JUDGMENTAL she was! It’s as if SHE were the one who just got off a 20 hour flight, sitting next to crying 2-​year old twins, that also had horrific turbulence… But no, she had simply just been working her JOB that she APPLIED FOR… And shockingly got hired to do.
Any who… Let me make a note about the food…
— The Steak Sandwich: I got a «yum-​huh-​umph» when I acted how the sandwich was, so I’ll take that to mean it was a good choice on his part.
— Salad with 2 sides of grilled chicken and 2 sides of grilled salmon. The chicken was top notch, seasoned to perfection… The salmon was bland and tasted like that pre frozen crap you get at like Costco or something… The salad with fine too, using romaine lettuce BUT… I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR NO CHESSE, and what do you know… I found globs of melted cheese underneath my protein… As if the chef started adding it to my meal and then realized it said NO CHEESE on the order but was TOO LAZY to start over. Awesome. Well thanks for trying to poison me while embarking on an 8 hour flight! So sweet of you…
Sadly, despite the amazingly tasty chicken and the steak sandwich that pleased probably the pickiest person on the face of the planet… I have to give this place ONLY 2 stars because… Ugh that #%^*%!? of a server… Was just… So so so rude.

Ordered two drinks from a not so happy bartender. Both drinks were served in small portions, not very strong at all, and for an expensive tab. Not doing this again.

Stopped by here to watch a football game before boarding a flight back to LA. Service was rude. Ordered some cheesesticks and a Coke and it came out to $ 12. Sheesh.

Very small bar, maybe 20 seats total. Fills up because H and K gates have few other options for getting a drink. Service was ok, wings and beer were ok, just normal bar food. Nothing more, nothing less.

Poor service. Used to be my favorite place at O’Hare but they took gyros off the menu and Kent is checked out. Had to ask for a beer and food despite making eye contact multiple times.

Terrible slow service. 22 bucks for a crappy chicken sandwich and a tap beer. Only way they are in business is because of limited options for travelers. Walk a little further and go somewhere else.

This place is a tiny, compact, busy bar with a kitchen than turns out freshly cooked classic bar food. I got the salmon sandwich with slaw and fries $ 13. That was may be the healthiest dish on the menu. The slaw is tasty but tiny so I quickly finished my little plastic tub. The bar staff gave me another without me asking… mind reader! :)
The service was friendly and chatty. The seating was pretty cramped on a Thurs night but once the H & K gates close it clears out around 7.40pm.

The service was pleasent, the food was decent, but none of that matters when your server is sick and coughing into her hands, and all around the dishes she is serving you. I was grossed out.
Also, 1Bud Light draft is $ 10.82. What’s up with that!

Great chili ! But I left my iPad at the bar I have left hundreds of messages with every department and I never got a call back!

This place sucks! One of the bartenders was practically sleepong at the register and the other goluy avoided euee contact. Our table was dirty and i asked for the plastic cups to be disposed of, after several minutes the sleepy guy came around and took the garbage but did not clean the table. We asked to place andorder after waiting for 15 minutes to be waited on, and the guy had us yell it to him over other guest sitting at the bar. Unprofessional! The food was cold. We saw it sitting up there for over 5 minutes and my husbad walked up and asked for it. It was cold and nasty. We disn“t even eat half of it.

Decent pub food in the H and K food court in terminal 3. There is a good selection of salads, appetizers, and sandwiches. The service was fast and the bartender was very nice. I had the buffalo wings. They came with buffalo sauce on the side which was kind of strange, but they tasted good. The Caesar salad was not bad the dressing came on the side. Overall it’s a good place to stop when you have time in O’Hare.

A bit pricey for an airport.

I like the Chicago style hot dog! But the service is …

I have been purposely routing my change of planes through ORD for years just so I can have one of their incredible rib-​eye steak sandwiches. I travel loads. and at $ 12.99 it is the best deal going in any airport I know! Oh yeah, they close at 9PM so tell your pilot to throttle-​up and park at gate K4 in terminal 3 (PT is directly across). On tap: Bud, Bud Light, and Sam. Seriously. What other airport food is deserving of five stars? Zip.
This place is an Oasis.

O’Hare was one of the layovers my friend and I had on our way to Alabama. We left Hawaii on a red-​eye. When we were able to FINALLY have a layover we could actually eat at, we were HUNGRY. Prairie Tap was located in the food court in the airport. I was really hungry so I was looking for a eatery that didn’t have a loooong line. We were in Chicago, and I would’ve wanted to try some deep dish, but when we passed the pizza place, the pizzas were sitting in a heating case. Kind of bummed because that meant it wasn’t fresh.
Anyway, we decided to check out the Prairie Tap. My friend and I both noticed the Mushroom & Cheese Burger. We both ordered it. I ordered mine with a salad side Ranch. My friend ordered her’s with fries. The burger itself was pretty big. I liked that there was a nice amount of lettuce, and it wasn’t Iceberg. I can’t say the salad was that great though. It was pretty plan didn’t have much of anything in it. The croutons were stale. The burger was average. I didn’t finish it all.

I hate to say it, but I’m slightly bummed that I chose this place over McDonalds. For the $ 12 (I tipped, even though I wound up ordering at the bar and then going up to the bar to pick up my food…), I got a very mediocre burger and some lame seasoned fries. It’s nice to sit in a better spot than the food court, but it really felt like a bad economic decision.

The Prairie Tap is as close to a community haunt as you can get in one of the busiest airports in the world. Armed with Frank Lloyd Wright inspired décor, standing tables and a small bar, and good eats, the Prairie Tap is the best place in the ORD to wait for a delayed flight or grab some grub to eat on the plane.
The owner has a great bar-​yapping personality. He can chat you up while pouring up glasses of drought beer for others. M has talked to him about running races while she waited for her mushroom burger.
We’ve gotten burgers and dogs here on a couple of occassions and have been pleased. Not the best burger you’ve ever had, but it sure beats the fast food joints in the nearby food court. The portions are generous and the food is flavorful. I’m sure that we were the envy of coach with our warm plates of food from Prairie Tap.

Making a quick stop to grab a bite before your flight? Running through the American terminal, head to the food court and sit down at the Prairie Tap. This place has some of the best coconut shrimp I have ever had. For being an airport joint, that is great! The prices are pretty standard for an airport location.

On the way back home to Dallas on a busy Thursday night in O’Hare all me and some co-​workers wanted was somewhere to sit and a cold brew: Prairie Tap was the only place with the perfect storm.
Beers were exactly what we wanted: huge and cold. Food was meh. I ordered the buffalo shrimp and expecting giant fried shrimp covered in buffalo wing sauce I was greeted with a few small fried shrimp and a couple dipping sauces on the side. Maybe the chef needs a trip to Hooters to figure out what Buffalo (insert meat here) means.
