Rick N Roxy!

We LOVE Uno Chicago Bar & Grill in Brookfield, Wisconsin.  We dine there at least twice a month.  During the Christmas holiday, they had an offer where you’d receive a $5 voucher for future service (after 1/1/10) for every $25 Uno’s gift card that you purchase, so we bought two!

Lemonade

Our server’s name was Pete and he came by shortly after we were seated and took our drink order.  Uno’s only serves Pepsi products, unfortunately, so that’s what Rick ordered.  We both prefer Coca Cola products.  I ordered a lemonade, although it tends to be very tart at Uno’s.  Once the ice melts a bit, it’s a perfect blend of sweet and tart. The raspberry lemonade, on the other hand, is very sweet – too much so, in my humble opinion.  Sometimes, it’s not any less sweet when the ice melts.

We love coming here.  Even during prime time on a Friday or Saturday, we never have to wait long – yet, they’re busy. Tonight, it’s not that busy. Tomorrow (New Year’s eve) might be a different story.

Gluten-Free House Salad with Ranch Dressing

We had an Entertainment Book coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of 2 entrees.  And here is my only complaint – Uno’s no longer offers gluten-free appetizers!  They used to have these pork drumsticks, but no more.  They do have soups, but for me, that’s more a meal. So, in order to make use of the coupon, Rick ordered cheese sticks. He said that they were very tasty.  I would have loved to sample one – they were my favorite appetizer back when I could eat such things.

Chicken Thumb Platter with Fries (not gluten-free)

For his entree, Rick ordered the Chicken Thumb Platter with French Fries.  This is something that he routinely orders – it’s one of his favorite meals at Uno’s.  It was just as enjoyable as ever, he reported.

I ordered the baked stuffed chicken with steamed broccoli. I also ordered a house salad, no croutons and ranch dressing on the side. Within the last couple of months, Uno’s has added more gluten-free salad dressings – yay!  They used to only offer balsamic vinaigrette, not my favorite. It’s always nice to have choices!

The salad was very crisp and cold – mixed greens with a wedge of tomato and cucumber.  The dressing came in a small cold container and it  poured easily over the salad.  The chicken was delicious! It was stuffed with spinach, feta, and tomatoes. The broccoli came with a lemon wedge and was steamed well (no crunch).

Gluten-Free Baked Stuffed Chicken with Broccoli

We had to wait a bit for our server to bring boxes and our check.  Unfortunately, he didn’t take the appetizer off the bill, but we didn’t realize it until he had run our gift card and charge card.  Rick had to bring it up to the front and a manager had to correct it.

Overall, though, it was an excellent meal.   The part at the end with the check was just a simple mistake, and I certainly wouldn’t grade them badly for it.   Uno’s provides an excellent variety of gluten-free foods, and it’s always an enjoyable night out for us.
