I can't believe Chicago Uno still stays afloat. I like the place but it always looks like Bennigans has more people in their parking lots than Chicago Unos.

I've only been to Bennigan's a few times, but always had good food & beer when I was there.

Our local Uno's is pretty busy most of the time, but it shares a parking lot with the AMC 24.

It is probably location of the Unos. I go to the one in So. Plainfield off Stelton rd. and it is right next door to a Bennigans and the Bennigans always has more people than the uno. Not to say that the uno doesn't get business, but it is never booming with business per se. Plus I don't see too many Chicago unos around in general. Does anyone else?

That sucks about Bennigans though. My Irish friend is going to be pissed. lol.

TGI Fridays,applebees, and ruby tuesdays did on a number on them.Theres one near me on 73 that i went to a few times as of late...Gf and I went at dinner time on a saturday night because we didnt want to wait and it was absoultely dead lol.
