Fantastic lunch specials. We like to get a half sandwich, salad and fries, but they have choices. The associates are all terrific. Well knowledgeable about what they serve, and attentive. We often come with our two big dogs, there is a wonderful outdoor patio and the associates always bring a big bowl of water for our furry friends. I love the holy cow sandwich, tender juicy thin sliced sirloin steak with grilled onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms topped with melted provolone served on a fresh house made roll. Depending on the season i honestly enjoy a side sald with ranch dressing to accompany my sandwich and always always always I enjoy the crisp beer battred french fries. On cold days I absolutely enjoy the creamy house made tomato bisque soup, it's an out of the park home run! My granddaughter absolutely loves the minestrone soup and the fried calamari, my favorite appetizer is the house made spinach artichoke dip served with house made French bread! Selmas pizzas are absolutely wonderful! They make everything in house so it's easy to get pizza exactly how you like it, and if you don't see what you're looking for on the menu, just ask they can make it your way. You can't go wrong with Selmas. The kitchen is bright and open easy to watch the chefs at work. They offer great kids parties where the kids get to work with the chefs learning and creating their own pizza! The dining area, the bar, the patio and restrooms have delightful Chicago and Wrigley Field decor, and are always very well maintained and clean.
BEWARE!! Had been coming to Selma's for 11 years and never had an issue with my orders or food. I received a doordash gift card and decided to order online. I CLEARLY ordered my pizza without PEPPERONI and even paid doordash fees to have it delivered and all totally $50 when the pizza is actually $26 if we would have just driven 15 minutes to eat there. Anywho the RECEIPT SHOWS NO PEPPERONI and the manager DID NOT want to admit to their mistake and said it was NOT their fault so they could NOT REMAKE IT or REFUND US. Doordash did not want to refund us either because it was SELMA'S Fault for not looking closely at the order. I will not be buying from Selmas they were not understanding and did not provide a resolution. They did not care and shoved the problem over to doordash when the issue was WITH THEM ADDING PEPPERONI when it did NOT SAY TO ADD the pepperoni. I'm so upset and disappointed.
2/26/26 6pm. Ordered fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms for a vegetarian family member. Specifically asked to keep it vegetarian. She found chicken pieces while eating. Called them up and talked to manager. She lied that it automatically comes with chicken. On their site and online menu, they have fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken fettuccine alfredo. You can add protein to fettuccine Alfredo which costs extra. I know as I have ordered alfredo with chicken before. It is an add on. Manager did not offer to cancel charges. Asked to give us some future credit. No thanks. Never coming to this dreaded place. I didn't need the money but it was disrespectful to lie and to pull a quick one by insulting my intelligence.
$4 beer, $4 soup and a $14 Calzone with 2 toppings. I really liked the Honey Blonde House Brew and the soup was very good - with the exception that it should be served with some type of bread. The bar tender asked me right away if I wanted a dinner roll and after the first was done I asked for another which was not an issue. Overall the place has a great atmosphere, low playing current and past rock music from various time periods. The tables are clean, the people are friendly, the waiters, servers and hosts are on point and I will be back. Unless my Calzone fails, they earned 4 stars. They lost 1 point because I was asked to wait for the manager to place my order at the restaurant and they never came. When I walked over to the bar, they gave me service right away.
Ordered the extreme meat pasta, expecting a fair ratio of sauce to pasta, felt like I paid $20 for a bunch of noodles. I would urge Selma’s staff to be a bit more generous with the sauce, isn’t that what a customer is paying for? And how much more would it actually cost them to add another scoop or two of sauce. See below, the picture on the right is what’s advertised on their website, the picture on the right is what I received. Very unsatisfactory. No extreme meat for sure and definitely not enough sauce.
