Julie BrownFebruary 2, 2015The baja taco is super delish!! It is a combination of cabbagy coleslaw so you get a dose of veggies with fried fish, kind of a good and evil combination but isn't balance what life is about?
Behrad EatsMay 16, 2013You simply can't go wrong with The Big Bay: double griddled American cheeseburger with grilles onions, house-made pickles, ketchup, mustard & spicy mayo.
Redeye ChicagoSeptember 23, 2014The menu offers fun twists on classic lunch fare such as clam chowder with pancetta, and grilled cheese with bacon, avocado and an over-easy egg. Read more
Abby MeixnerDecember 16, 2012Great assortment of new American small plates. Try a charger and spirit, blood orange and cinnamon was great. Knowledgable staff and cozy clean atmosphere.
Daniel PedrozaNovember 11, 2015Tacos we EXTREMELY good. Everything was so perfect until the time to pay came. They for some dumb system limitation could not split the tab for each of my friends and I pay separate.
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The sidewalk cafe out front features plenty of comfortable chairs and umbrella-topped tables, on a quiet stretch of Delaware Place. Read more
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The Big Baby burger at Little Market Brasserie is one of the 100 best things we ate this year.
Serena MayAugust 10, 2013For brunch, go for the short ribs poutine & deconstructed banana pie! Very satisfying and unexpectedly light.
BrianMarch 28, 2014Excellent California Merlot. Slightly hyperactive and overbearing service. Great food. Try the squash soup.
Dayon DMarch 2, 2013The best server in the house is a female by the name of Shamama (Sarah) Cheema. Personally request this girl, you will not be disappointed!
ShannonSeptember 27, 2014Love this place and love that they allow dogs in the patio. Food and service is awesome!
Carla HamOctober 8, 2013Get Poli's "homage to his childhood on the Little Market menu: the Big Baby, a classic South Side cheeseburger." - Eater
Deviled eggs. Poutine. Awesome sandwiches. House-made sodas that go awesome with bourbon. Love.- Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The best food here is the stuff that will take years off your life. Read more
Peter GoringNovember 13, 2014Our server Campbell was terrific, see if you can sit in her section (apparently the whole place on slow nights)- Time Out ChicagoMarch 20, 2013To eat The Big Baby is to imagine being hooked up to an IV that injects your bloodstream with bliss.
Danielle BauerJuly 31, 2013Amazing veggie burger! Lentils, cumin, avocado, goat cheese, tomato. Yum!
Barry MJanuary 20, 2013Vanilla Hibiscus soda + Makers Mark = amazing. Try the smoked salt soda as well
Giselle ValdezSeptember 1, 2014Deviled eggs, salmon and burger are delish! Ask for Zack as your server.
Nick BaldwinMay 2, 2013Come for happy hour 5-7 daily and get a free American style "tapa" with each drink.
Heidi WhiteApril 20, 2013Smoked salted cream soda is a lot smoked, a lot salted and a little creamy... Beware!
Nicolai LonerApril 15, 2013Food is great, petit filet is absolutely wonderful as well as the crab gnocchi. Downside: service is slow, lack of personality and waiter seemed not to care whatsoever. Meh experience.- Heidi WhiteApril 20, 2013Fixed!! Blood orange and cinnamon soda is much better!! And waitress switched it out for me!
Ieva SasnauskaiteJune 7, 2013don't get their Poutine dish! Lets just say it was a plate of fries with NO short rib!!!
