"Yuck, never again..."   My Rating

	Review: OK, so not only is the food bland here, but it's served in a place that had (or may still have) a rat infestation! I stumbled upon a list of restaurant closures and found this article. Sick! And I even ate there around that time, yuck! http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/10/health-inspectors-close-wicker-park-eatery.html My original review: Posted on: Sunday, January 27, 2008 Review: Today I had the Veggie Hash, which was pretty good [but I've had better and leftovers aren't as good]. In retrospect, I wish that I had tried one of the seitan dishes, but there's always next time. This is a nice place to eat alone at [or with a group of people].   Pros: * * Cons: Closed down by health inspector * *

After reading that I think I'll give the place a miss. Just the name of this place makes me squirm!. response by peasonearth - report abuse -

"Definitely worth trying"   My Rating

	Review: I really like Earwax. I have heard both good and bad reviews but I think it's a great place! The food is good, the decor is silly and colorful, the staff is friendly.   Pros: good food * friendly staff * Cons: small-ish * usually a wait *

"It's a deal, it's a steal."   My Rating

	Review: This place is awesome, plain and simple. I've eaten here for years and can't recall being disappointed once other than a poorly made vegan peanut butter chocolate shake. Sorry guys, but that was weak! However the rest is pretty amazing. I highly recommend the BBQ seitan burrito (vegan optional), the Jamaican jerk salad (vegan, unbelievable), or the black bean burger. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is pretty legit too. To top it off there's a great atmosphere, delightful wait staff, and fairly priced. I will be eating at Earwax for years to come. I love this place!   Pros: Food is incredible. * Fairly priced. * Friendly staff. Cons: Can be a wait at times. * *

"Just can't get with it."   My Rating

	Review: I suppose if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd come for a coffee and to rent movies, but every time I've gone in for a snack, I've regretted it. It's not too expensive and the quality's pretty average, but everything's sorta sloppily thrown together and nothing tastes good. Dishes are quite bland and oversalted. Feh.   Pros: Decent location * Vegan options * Movie rentals downstairs Cons: Bland * Not a good value * Sloppy

"Worth a visit"   My Rating

	Review: The vegan banana nut pancakes are the best! If you're not in the mood for breakfast food, it's not the most inspired menu, especially for a vegan. However, the staff is really friendly and it's a great place to just sit and chill :-)   Pros: Vegan banana nut pancakes! * Great people * Cons: Limited vegan options * *

"OK, but I wasn't impressed"   My Rating

	Review: I was intrigued when my friend who took me here insisted on having dinner at 4:00 PM, and the place was packed. It must be even crazier at peak mealtimes. The "homemade vegan chorizo" in my burrito seemed to be just TVP with some seasonings - the texture was all wrong, from what I know of chorizo (which admittedly isn't much). The burrito was just the TVP and some refried beans - some actual veggies would have been nice, but I guess it was my own dumb fault for not reading the menu closely enough.   Pros: veganizable items clearly marked * and there are a lot of them * Cons: crowded * not really my kind of crowd * food isn't that great

"Not Boring, I had a tastey Veggie Hash"   My Rating
304 gr8vegan	Posted on: Wednesday, December 05, 2007
	Review: The place could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, but hey its in hipster (I don't even know what that means) Wicker Park. The vegan veggie hash was amazing (I think the soy sauce did the trick). I didn't expect much from the decor, but it has a good crowd and an ATM near the back. (Its CASH ONLY)   Pros: veggie hash * * Cons: cash only * *
