Get the 4-piece combo. Comes with honey butter and mini cornbread. The kale slaw is excellent and soda fountain is awesome (no sugar free options). Service is incredibly friendly and efficient.
Chocolate pavé was delicious, we splitted the Mexican Hot Chocolate and even the split was HUGE. It was a bit too sweet for me even with the cayenne(but of course, still very delicious)
Excellent place for small plate sharing - pork blade steak and roasted broccoli (dressing: roasted garlic and anchovy vinaigrette) are must orders!
When I think about this place, I make obscene noises. The burger is THAT good. Order the single (which has two patties) with egg and bacon (which is actually pork belly). Add fries. Cry with delight.
Pig face, Sugo, and Pork Belly. One can't go wrong with any of the three. The Kohlrabi Salad is amazing, Octo is awesome, and the Goat loin is delicious. Shishito peppers is just a meh.
One of the greatest pieces of large scale outdoor art in the world. Must see when in Chicago.
The shrimp with garlic is amazing. The buttery sauce has just perfect amount of kick from the chopped garlic and pepper flakes, and it's the gift that keeps on giving-dip your bread in till it's gone
Firecakes' donut ice cream sandwich is held together with chocolate espresso or vanilla bean gelato, and adorned with rich chocolate, caramel sauces, and cocoa nibs. Hell to the yes. Read more.
This creative pie shop serves savory pot pies, sweet dessert pies and the absolute best biscuits in town. We recommend enjoying them with a dab of butter and a spoonful of their house-made jam. Read more.
Unique, but tasty flavors, like cornbread, ginger, & churro. If you want something tart & sweet, wildberry lavender is the way to go.
Short rib and chili shrimp tacos are insane. The poutine is an absolute must and has to be shared. A few bottles beer/wine options make this a legit dinner option. Although I prefer takeout.
Quite a gem. The shrimp & grits transformed my generally negative impression of grits. The Pork Belly was fall off the bone to die for and the truffle pasta complimented everything else very nicely.
The dates, pork shoulder and especially those sausages on top of the paella are fantastic. The sangria is a great deal for a group-- $19 for a carafe.
Must get the Squid Ink Linguini w. Lobster- best pasta dish in the city. And sit at the Crudo Bar and ask DeAngelo to make you his French Pear Martini!
Great vintage shop with cute bistro wine glasses and other plates/glasses for good prices. They also have a cool collection of vintage postcards and posters.
What can you say? It's my favorite meal in the country whether in Chi or Miami. Stone crabs, crispy hash browns, creamed spinach, slaw and signature key lime pie pictured above.
Start with a plate of burrata and ham, or a crisp salad, or ’nduja arancini — but reserve most of your appetite for the uplifting pastas. Read more.
