90th Meridian Kitchen & Bar

First time here. Love the ambience. The menu is eclectic and may not be for everyone. But is was good.

Most outrageously priced burger I’ve ever had the misfortune to have ordered. 25 dollars before tax and tip for a a burger no bigger than a McDonald’s cheeseburger. An absolute rip off and wont ever return after coming here for years.

I hit up 90th Meridian Kitchen & Bar last weekend and it was straight fire! This spot’s got that dope vibe in a cool old building right in the Loop, and the food’s got some serious global flavor—ordered the jerk chicken sliders and truffle fries, ran me about $25 with a craft beer. The sliders were juicy as hell, and those fries? Crispy and fancy, fam. Bar’s legit too, had a solid IPA that hit just right. Service was chill, not rushed, and the whole place feels like a classy hangout without being stuck-up. Definitely sliding back soon—Chicago’s got a gem here!

90th Meridian Kitchen & Bar is a hidden gem in the Loop—perfect for a laid-back but classy meal. I stopped in for lunch and got the truffle burger ($18) with a side of garlic fries ($5), plus an Old Fashioned ($12). The burger was juicy, packed with flavor, and that truffle aioli just hit different. The fries were crispy and had just the right amount of garlic kick. The vibe is stylish but not pretentious, and the service was on point—super friendly and quick. Spent around $35 before tip, and it was worth every penny. Definitely coming back for happy hour!

Lots of rules and added and surprise costs for not that great food. We took a work lunch group during restaurant week and were told that no one could order off the main menu if any of us wanted the $30 restaurant week menu. Some were disappointed because they had wanted a different lunch item but they went along with the group. Most of us ordered the chicken which was dry but glaze was good. The pasta portion was laughable. Cookie was delicious. When bill came, waitress wouldn't split it which was understandable because there were 7 of us. The bill she brought included the tip and tax and came out to $39 pp. I paid and everyone zelled me their portion. Then I got an alert from my bank that was about $15 more and when I asked about it the server told me it was a 3% processing fee and showed me some super small print on the receipt (not on the bill). Since everyone had already zelled me for their $39 lunch I got stuck paying $56 for a crappy lunch. We all felt nickled and dimed from the moment we got there and then I got left paying way too much for mediocre food. We wont be going back.

Went here for happy hour but the menu was very different from what they had online and had much higher prices. Not really any value as far as I'm seeing for the food

Almaz and the rest of the staff was amazing. I had a passion fruit margarita and she made it perfect not too sweet and the same every time.

Order was delayed by 45 mins- tbf it was middle of holiday season but still Food was not great, especially for downtown value. Burger was dry, crispy, & overcooked. Popcorn Chicken app was TINY & dry. Was out of the other apps I wanted. Out of the steak that we wanted. Everyone else told me their order was also mid. There's also a 3% credit card surcharge by the way. The only good was in the end they comped the apps since it took 45 minutes to come out.

Fantastic Atmosphere, food was a little dry but would eat again. Service was good but nothing great. Spent a long time waiting for food.

I waited over 5 minutes to be seated. The food was ok basically average. I have had better for that price.

Was not expecting much, happy hour menu (no regular menu items) should be clearer. Ordered popcorn chicken and sliders (how impressive could they be?). It turns out: very, when done well. The dijonaise and cheddar sliders were packed with flavor and the chicken, which looked pretty average, was tender and delicious.

Our first time to Chicago. We were touring the Rookery building. After the tour we were hungry. We started walking towards the Federal Reserve building. Just as we crossed the alley there was this wonderful smell of steak. So we went in and found the restaurant. We shared the Steak and Potatoes with the au poivre sauce. Incredible! The wait staff were very attentive. The chef's passion came through the food. The waitress expressed this passion when explaining the au poivre sauce. Fair price. To finish off the meal we had coffee and cookies. My wife had the Fruity Pebbles cookie. She said it was like Wilma Flintstone had baked it herself. I would come visit you every week if I lived in Chicago. Thank you!
