Default Happy Hour at Old Chicago

I am meeting a friend for happy hour tonight and I'm hoping that someone might have some suggestions for me I tried looking up healthy choices at Old Chicago, but none of them seem to be on the happy hour menu...do any of you have any idea the nutritional info on some of the appetizers? Obviously a house salad is a good choice, but I eat salads 1-2 times/day, so I'm hoping to have something different. The suggestions I came up with are:
Antipasto Salad
Bacon Cheeseburger Wrap
Turkey Burger

Any other ideas??
Thanks!!!

I used to work at Old C's. Unfortunately, besides a house salad with salsa (they got rid of the low-fat ranch), there isn't much that is low-cal. Maybe ask for a side of veggies with salsa. It sounds weird but broccoli and salsa is DELISH!! Ummm... OR get a inidivual Thai Pie and eat only 1 or two pieces of it. If it is Chicken Noodle soup night (not much of a happy hour food) that isn't SO bad.
Oh, it is a tough place to go because everything there is so darn good but so darn bad for you!! Be strong. You can do it!!

Oh... I forgot... the turkey burger is tricky. It seems like a good choice but it is not so. I couldn't find the info for Old C's but if you compare the one at Ruby Tuesday, having no sides or mayo etc., it has 45g fat and 812 calories!!! I got the info from CalorieKing. Old C's is very flexible... I would go for the side of raw veggies and just much on those!!

Oh man!!! Both great choices!! My fav is the cheesey garlic bread dipped in the broccoli/cheese soup...sigh.

You should look up Typhoon on CalorieKing. Maybe they have the info you are looking for.
