18 reviews for The Bunny Hutch
I came in with low expectations for the food and high hopes for a fun round at the batting cages, but I was pleasantly surprised by both. The batting cages were the best fun anyone can buy for a dollar and the hotdogs were the best I've had in Chicago. I love the fact that they don't steam the buns and that its loaded with all the goodies piled on top of a juicy dog. Yum -o. Way better than superdog and half the price.
The burger was a dissapointment, but since I shared it halvesies with my man it wasn't a big deal. I quickly forgot how bad it sucked when I ate the dog!
Its a run down little shanty and the "game room" has a majorly old air hockey table, but the prices are stuck in the past too, so I say two thumbs up for cheap wholesome fun!
I've been getting meals at the Bunny Hutch since I was 5 or 6 or something. It was the first restaurant I went to WITHOUT AN ADULT!!! (because it's the only place walking distance from my childhood home while also being affordable for a 10 year old)!! Ahh, independence!
You don't expect much at the bunny hutch, but for what it is, it delivers. A shabby burger shack with milkshakes, situated right next to a mini-golf and batting cages. The burgers and fries are pretty tasty, nothing to write home about, but they do the job. They also have some nice meal deals if you want burger/fries/drink or hotdog/fries/drink.
There will be children, dogs, and bugs there... you have been warned.
The Bunny Hutch is a little burger joint next to the Novelty Golf. They were playing great '80's music when I was there. I skipped the greasy food and went straight to their ice cream creations. The turtle sundae was pretty good, and made by the best child labor in town (yes, it looks like some 10 year old does work here but he's probably family of the owners, and hell, he makes a great turtle sundae).
If I go back for more putt putt, I'm definitely stopping back at The Bunny Hutch!
I needed a burger, they needed $7.
The Bunny Hutch is a tatty old burger shack. Lots of character.
There is a quality statement about the meat on their menu. The burger delivered. Hot and delicious.
Food service crinkle cuts with some lawry's were fine. Add a shake to your meal for +$1.
Kind of dirty. Big freakn deal. I like this place.
Clueless cashiers, burnt hotdogs, or obnoxious teenagers. Take your pick of what turned me off to the bunny hutch. Throw in ridiculous prices and you have a craptastic hot dog shack. The shakes were watery, the francheezie was horrid, and the whole thing set me back a twenty spot. If this place is aimed at pampered kids from the burbs, they should put that on the door, so anyone with standards knows to steer clear.
It's dated, it's greasy, it's delicious! What more do you want? It will be full of kids, something will be spilled, you won't care much! Last time I did the spilling (all over myself, the booth and the floor). They were very nice about it.
Come on, this is a crappy hamburger shack. It's dirty and I saw a ten-year-old kid working behind the counter.
Of course, it does have a certain charm. They have a 13-inch tv with rabbit ears (ha ha) showing Cubs games, and kids' baseball teams come in here after their games. Plus, you can't beat a delicious chocolate malt milkshake after a round of mini golf at the adjacent Novelty Golf. So, that is a good ol' slice of Americana for you. Every town needs a place like this.
go here. eat. play mini golf. drink milkshakes and root beer floats. practice batting if you choose. try out the photo booth and the sex game in the game room. keep score.
the bunny hutch is connected to the Novelty Golf place, so for me they are one in the same, and everyone should go to both at least 10 times a year. i believe in the white rabbit. just go. it's truly a piece of american kitsch - timeless.
I like my food deep fried. And The Bunny Hutch has it all. Cheese and/or bacon available on most items, spicy fries, and delicious shakes. I HIGHLY recommend the Greek Chicken sandwich. I am currently suffering from eating too many cheese sticks so watch yourself---proceed with greasy caution.
You can work off some of the goodies at Novelty Golf, right behind The Hutch. Its all good.
You go here for the batting cages.
You can also go for the mini-golf or the arcade or just to get out of the city a little bit, but if you want to relieve stress and smash some balls without having to deal with the OTHER batting cage (Sluggers at Clark and Addison, ugh), you definitely go here.
They have a trashcan with a giant hippo head on it. And there's parking. Good times!
Hooray for mini golf! (TWO 18 hole courses to choose from!)
Hooray for the elaborate obstacles with fun themes. Hooray for some fun in the glorious sunshine, entertaining our 6 year old selves.
Hooray for the gaggle of little girls in the family behind us who cheered for me and boo'd for my boyfriend, taunting him with a "Girls RULE, boys DROOL!" every time he prepared to putt.
I can't wait to come back when the much-talked-about soft serve ice cream stand is open!
I remember going to The Bunny Hutch as a kid. There's nothing like playing a round of miniature golf at Novelty Golf (remember the commercial? http://www.youtube.com...) and getting a hot dog and pop for lunch. Yeah, it gets five stars for nostalgia alone :)
Note: This is a review of the Bunny Hutch, the food stand which is attached to Devon Novelty Golf. This isn't a review of DNG.
Ah, the bunny hutch. What's to say?
Well, in a few words, you'll only ever eat here if you've been in the batting cages or putted a few rounds at DNG. Let's face it; the food is borderline crap, and if you're expecting any sort of ambiance you need to get your head examined.
If you want good food of this type, you're much better served by Poochies or Herms in Skokie. But if you just don't feel like moving the car after a round of 18, the food is edible. Don't expect much and you'll be fine.
Food here is a little overpriced, given the location and the interior, but they make a true Chicago style hot dog, sauerkraut and all, and their cheese fries and shakes are delicious as well. Come here before or after you play mini golf or hit the batting cages next door. There's plenty of tables on the patio outside.
There is a common misconception , The bunny Hutch is the restaurant that is on the same property as Novelty Golf . http://www.yelp.com/bi... The Bunny Hutch when reviewed objectively on it's merits as a restaurant is maybe three stars at best . As the place I went to as kid with my family to get burger and a make your own sundae after a day of mini golf , It scores a bit higher. I haven't been here since I could drive , hopefully it hasn't changed. The memories of a weekend night , friends or family and a trip to the Hutch are still with me today . After a day putting through windmills , nothing goes down quite as nice as a pizza puff and a soft serve cone.
There isn't really anything special about this place, and it's kind of dirty, but it's gets three stars for nostalgia. I will say this, they put sauerkraut on hot dogs, and that, my friends, is rock and roll.
The funnest place to go. If you think funnest is a word. Or if you enjoy watching young boys play with bats and balls all day long. I think they're open till midnight too. Despite the outhouse of a bathroom, I felt like a kid again. Getting yelled at by overzealous fathers peering through chain link. Ah, childhood. And now, adulthood.
play video games, get a hot dog and some soft serve, hit some balls in their batting cages and go with a date to their mini golf. great date spot during warmer seasons.
