A reader in search for the Sloop's best delivery:
I'm very fond of your restaurant info; I think good conversation could spark
discussion on which are or aren't good deliver-ers in this area.
This was inspired by a non-pizza/non-chinese focused night of getting delivery.
- We considered Eleven City Diner (1112 S. Wabash)- Absolutely tasty food, delivery, a bit pricey;
- Though about South Coast Sushi (1700 S. Michigan)- Crazy yummy, really costly, but untested delivery
- Almost went with Jamaica Jerk Villa (8 E. 22nd)- Good reviews, not expensive, but questionable on how often they deliver
- Flavor 180 (1511 S. State) - is close, has a weird vibe, is slow, and, well, no.- Ended up with Flacos Tacos (725 S. Dearborn) - Recommended by a friend, inexpensive,
delicious!
I know there are other reasonable places out there that we need to know about.
Who should we be ordering from in the Sloop?
We've had delivery from Chef Luciano's and was pretty happy with that. Besides pizza and chinesse, we usually do pick-up as oppposed to delivery. Anyway, Sloopers, please chime in with your thoughts.
(Hat tip: JN!)
Flaco's is a favorite. Amarit is good as well, they have good chinese/thai food. And Edwardo's for pizza.
ReplyDeleteNote that all three are in Printer's Row. Helps that PR is an established area with lots of options and the rest of the sloop is still up-and-coming.
I use grubhub.com to find which places deliver. Nice system to order through.
ReplyDeleteOpart
ReplyDeleteI order through Donna's. Insert sarcastic chuckle.
ReplyDeleteCarbon is so much better than flaco tacos. Plus they deliver too.
ReplyDeleteBig fan of Hackney's delivery. Also like Tamarind from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAmarit has been the cause of salmonella for me once before and also for two friends (all on different occasions). Therefore, I will never eat there.
ma & i (thai) has an easy online ordering system. if you already like their food, their delivery is a good option.
ReplyDeleteOpart Thai is definitely our favorite place to get delivery and when we're feeling Mexican we usually order from Carbon.
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions on good Chinese delivery? We've tried a couple from Grubhub that we haven't liked.
If you are looking for good middle eastern delivery, Reza's restaurant delivers to the sloop. Very yummy, a bit pricy, but you get 2-3 meals worth of food per entree.
ReplyDeleteI had Carbon delivery once. Big mistake. It arrived 90 minutes later and cold. Thinking about that experience 3 years ago makes my stomach churn.
ReplyDeleteCarbon and Ricobene's on 26th St. both deliver. Fish tacos from Carbon are delicious, Ricobene's has pizza, sandwiches (steak!). Also Gio's in Bridgeport delivers...really good italian.
ReplyDeletePat's pizza on south Clark! not only do they have amazing thin-crust pizza,they also have many other food items that they will deliver! I recommend the Italian beef and the burgers!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I heard that Burger Point may be delivering soon!
We get Carbon delivered at least twice a month and its a winner everytime. As someone else already mentioned the fish tacos are by far the best I have ever had Delivered.
ReplyDeleteJack - We really like Joy Yee's over by UIC. They deliver and the food is delicious. The panang curry is delightful.
Anon-Trok - We absolutely LOVE burger point. We have eaten there ever week since they opened (not a healthy habit, but its that good). If they start delivering I believe hackney's will be bumped off our delivery list.
Opart Thai is fast, delicious and pretty reasonable. We love the green and red curries, the noodle curry dish, and the yum neau. Highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteEleven City is douche central.
ReplyDeleteMalnatis. End of story
ReplyDeletehey, is a'cappella's any good? do they deliver?
ReplyDeletei bet burger point does "Dining IN" at some point
ReplyDeleteChef Luciano's has the best delivery in the SOLO, I've never had a problem with them and the food is always piping hot. And no need to hesitate on delivery from Flavor 180, the food is delish. I'm not sure about what you mean by "weird vibe", I've always had friendly service on site and on the phone.
ReplyDeleteWe lack good delivery in the sloop. Our best breakfast options, Yolk and Eleven City Diner dont deliver. Several of the options already mentioned are just ok. Burger Point has been really good so far for burgers and wings hope they decide to deliver, but we need more options. Chef Luciano is good but they are not always willing to deliver. Flavor 180 has some healthy options but overpriced and takes over an hour to deliver every time. Shocked a good take out/delivery place that is open late has yet to open. Not sure its Fioretti's office blocking the late night options or a lack of faith from new business possibilities.
ReplyDeletePompei on West Taylor St is HANDS-DOWN the best delivery.
ReplyDeleteAs for 11 City? . . . Absolutely not! Just thinking of the owner makes me vomit a little bit in my mouth.
i have had delivery from Eleven City Diner and it has always been very good. I am curious...what does the owner have to do with the food and/or delivery?
ReplyDeleteWaffles just started delivering as well, and I believe they're now open for dinner on Friday nights.
ReplyDeleteTHE SCOUT DELIVERS NOW..
ReplyDeleteThank you for the endorsement. Unfortunately, we had to stop our delivery service for a number of reasons. We welcome you to dine in or call ahead and we can have your order ready for pick up.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Rocky Gupta
Chef Luciano
Eleven City's breakfast is good. Unfortunately they don't deliver breakfast. Yes Pompei is also really good!
ReplyDeleteTamarind.
ReplyDeleteChicago Curry House.
Eleven City Diner.
Trattoria Caterina.
La Cantina Grill.
(That's my SL short list.)
Trattoria Caterina has some pretty good pizza. I wouldn't get anything else from there but I'm a regular pizza orderer.
