A decent American fast food burger. Too pricey though. $7.80 for a double cheeseburger and soft drink.

Great pastries, giant macaroons that are the best in the city, excellent music (think Wilco, Zwan, etc.), great Cafe Au Lait and a friendly staff that provides excellent service! A wonderful time.

My favorite bar in Wicker Park. Always a great laid back atmosphere filled with beautiful people. The music is never too loud that you can't chat with your friends.

My only two complaints are that sometimes the on-tap PBR tastes watery/over-carbonated/funky and the table service can sometimes be slow.

This is my mother's restaurant and I love it!

There's a great atmosphere in the dining room and I especially love the two serene waterfalls that are installed on the walls. Very nice.

Enjoy the photography you see throughout the place, as I took it! Ask if you're interested in purchasing any prints you see. Their all for sale for very cheap prices.

There are plenty of big HD Televisions throughout the bar area, so you always have a great view of the game or whatever you'd like to watch.

They also have a huge banquet area that's perfect for parties.

Now I must mention the most important and best party. The food. I love it all, from the unique bruschetta (you gotta try it!), to the juicy steaks. Be sure to ask for the cinnamon butter for your bread. It's delicious, especially when warmed. The salmon is wonderful too and I'm not even that big of a fan of fish.

Now I'll admit, there were some kinks in the prep work when they first opened, but hey, don't all new restaurants experience some growing pains? They have a new chef now and she's great! If you were disappointed with anything the first time you visited, give J. Todd's another try and I'm positive you won't be let down. And if you have any problems be sure to ask. Constructive criticism is always appreciated and they'll do everything they can to accommodate your tastes.

(Oh and the karaoke is always a blast, you should have seen me sing "Bohemian Rhapsody," my god, what was I thinking?)

Put simply, Thursdays are where it's at. With half-price Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers, it's hard to come up with a better place to go for dinner on a Thursday night.

While sometimes the burgers aren't cooked exactly as asked (too well-done when medium-rare was the order) they are still delicious. All have to do is pour some of their delicious BBQ sauce on one and it's good to go.

I recommend the Cheddar and Bacon Cheeseburger with a healthy dose of the BBQ on it. Oh boy, I wish it were Thursday now.
