@MikeTaylorLives I'm not bashing billy goats in away, my grandpas godfather founded them, i'm just saying the original tavern on lower michigan ave. is no pepsi coke. and honestly i don't like the one on navy pier, i personally think it tries to hard to be the "Billy Goat Tavern"
I got to the one off of Michigan avenue when I visit. It's in the underground tunnels. Their food is so good. The people are kind of bitchy, but good food.
@stoneyja Hahahaha! Ross? That's yours truly yelling that out in order to entice the guy to "perform" his line...ha! Really though? Ross?? I don't know about that. Ha!
First of all, these guys are Spics, not Greeks. And second, this is not even the original, fucking restaurant. Navy Pier was a nothing back when SNL did their skit.
no man, its the other way around. the skit is based on real life!
im from toronto and theres an amazing burger joint run by greeks and theyre pretty much the same, except with the chips thing. fries and coke come in one size, lots of yellin and calling out...great burgers!
Just went to the location on Michigan Av. last night. We couldn't believe how dumpy it looked! We went in anyway just because of the restaurant's reputation. It was really neat. We even asked for fries not knowing the whole story about SNL!!!! Quite the experience!
I love this place, when my dad and I use to go to Chicago for a weekend get away, we always stopped off at the Billy goat for a beer.....and of course a double cheesberger
they sell pepsi not coke and they just sell cheese burgers and polish sausages because thats what their good at, the attitude is part of the experience its fun
The spirit of John Belushi is still alive and well in this place.

Navy Pier has a contract with Pepsi that keeps other soda vendors out. The only exception is the McDonald's.

There are tons of Greek burger joints all over southern calif so I'd assume they exist all over the country. My favorite is Johns in Palm Desert.
