    Appetizers include mushroom and rapini tart and braised pork hand pie, entrées offer biscuits and gravy and a chorizo sope. There are also a selection of biscuit sandwiches such as crispy pork belly.

    Enoch Simpson sells the hand-crafted gourmet doughnuts that put him on the Chicago pastry map, but he also makes tasty contemporary comfort food in the form of fried chicken and biscuit sandwiches. Read more

    Pricey but tasty mimosas, great bloody Mary's with mini cheddar biscuits, and amazing biscuit sandwiches! Try the pork belly next time!

    Endgrain’s pumpkin donut is a moist, cinnamon-rich cake is lavishly glazed and scattered with a crunch of toasted and crushed pumpkin seeds. Read more

    Paul the bartender was awesome; highly recommend the flap steak: perfectly smoky sauce, well balanced with potatoes and green bean (singular because there were only, like, three on the plate)

    The biscuits, which have a slightly crunchy edge and perfectly soft, buttery interior, are a revelation. Read more

    The butterscotch bacon donut is criminally delicious. I came late in the day after they were done serving donuts, but they were nice enough to give me leftover samples free of charge!

    BYO, the A/C was broken, and they had run out of 2/4 evening entrees. with a limited menu, that's a big "oops" that aside, the perch appetizer was excellent, as was the smoked chicken pot pie

    Biscuits and gravy were very good, as was the rhubarb lemonade. Bacon was like candy.

    The biscuits were as good as advertised but the texture of the doughnuts was off and I didn't think they were very flavorful, either.
