Ron JeramiahNovember 1, 2017Awesome quaint place with bad ass food and service. You’ll enjoy the ambiance and this is a must do spot in Chi-town. The double fried wings are incredible & lamb meat balls crazy good 👍🏽
EaterOctober 31, 2013The veggie-friendly menu offers plates like a chopped salad with pickled beef heart, deviled egg, beets and baby greens; heirloom tomato and burrata sandwich; arugula and parmesan flatbread.
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014Playful flatbreads, among them a sweet-potato hummus version topped with quark (a creamy white cheese) & shaved veggies, and a bacon-leek version that's a virtual tarte flambee, are ideal for sharing. Read more
Very fresh food and great drinks. Service excellent as well. The trout and creamy plenty were delicious (big portions), with a Clockwork Orange to enjoy as a drink (twist on old fashioned.)
Mary Kay HardcastleApril 13, 2013Blackboard Eats says "Peameal Bacon Sandwich is worth traveling for. Meaty and tender slabs of smokeless peameal bacon combined with a runny egg and sharp Cheddar make this unforgettable & messy."- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014With a good assortment of sturdy small plates and a handful of $13-and-under sandwiches (including a deeply satisfying French dip), even college students can — and do — find this place within range.

Nori MorgansteinMarch 20, 2013You have to get dessert! Try the orange pound cake with lemon curd, blood orange slices, and toasted coconut gelato! Good drinks, great food, and fun atmosphere!
Kirstjen LorenzSeptember 14, 2014Great ambience! I loved the decor. Glad we sat in the "library" where it was a bit quieter, but the whole restaurant has a very fun style.
Nation's Restaurant NewsMay 28, 2013Chef Nicole Pederson uses Eastern Mediterranean flavors with an Argentine spin in the crowd-pleasing shareable plate, Lamb Meatballs. Read more
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014If you prefer a liquid dessert, the interesting cocktail menu includes a "stout float" with vanilla gelato and molasses bitters — a black cow for mature audiences. Read more
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The lamb meatballs with pistachio chimichurri at Found Kitchen + Social House is one of the 100 best things we ate this year.
Geoff J.November 17, 2012Great new spot in Evanston. Gastro pub type of a joint. Classy cocktails and small plates. Try the brussel sprouts and lamb meat balls.- Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013At Found in Evanston, the new 25-seat patio is outfitted with eclectic furniture and serves dishes like "knife-and-fork" sandwiches all day.
Leticia Guerra SNovember 18, 2012Great place! Order the Lamb meatballs! Although you can't go wrong with anything! Good wine and beer list! A must go!
Sheri DJune 8, 2013Outstanding service. Great atmosphere. Very clever seating areas with mismatched chairs. Waffles with rhubarb sauce were outstanding.
RyanAugust 15, 2014Burger with garlic pickles and onion cream. They cooked it nicely med rare. Softest, most buttery brioche roll ever.- Kirstjen LorenzSeptember 14, 2014We tried all the desserts. I think the peach sundae is best - that caramel is really special.
Grainne ReganMay 21, 2016Lamb meatballs and steak dishes were amazing. Like the concept but they're short on execution.
AgathaJune 19, 2013Such fun decor & friendly servers! Get the polenta with almonds, mushrooms, blue cheese & egg. It is amazing!
Daryl GardnerOctober 19, 2014Kale and Swiss Churd Salad, Creamy Palenta and 32 ounce bone-in Rideye Steak. Dinner was fantastic.
Seth SchwartzFebruary 16, 2014This place is tasty. Simple as that. Lamb meatballs, flatbreads, and butterball potatoes. Amazing!
- Kirstjen LorenzSeptember 14, 2014the mozzarella & stone fruit starter was very good, and the trout was just fantastic.
Dan SchaefferJune 30, 2013The twice-fried chicken wings are wonderful. Sweet and crunchy with a pleasant lingering burn on the tongue.
Lee RemiasMay 26, 2013If you want a cocktail, go for the Babbling Brooke. Not too sweet. Made with F.E.W. , a local gin.
Jake SmithMarch 1, 2013The gelato is super sweet here, try some when you order the delicious Stout Float.
Greg UrbanDecember 19, 2012The giant armchairs are awesome, and the seasonal drinks are delicious, too!
Great food, fun atmosphere..it's a go to in Evanston.
Lloyd MurphyOctober 11, 2019The decor is fun. The food was good. I would return many times, if it weren't for the unfortunate choice they made to post "no weapons" at the entrance. I won't be back.
Mindy PierceDecember 16, 2012The Kale and Swiss Chard Salad with Seeds and Cranberries was pretty amazing~
Joshua TDecember 29, 2012I ordered the braised beef flatbread.... It may be the best thing I ate all year
Theresa K.September 22, 2013Meh. The chickpea balls are incredible. The ambiance and soundtrack pitch perfect. Otherwise, the meals are oily and overpriced and seating arrangements cramped.
Brett TinnesJanuary 13, 2013Amaretto Sours are good. The douche bags are a plenty here tho. So... Don't go.
