Comfort Food Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Fantastic food and service!!!“

“What a great experience! All four of us enjoyed everything we ordered. The food was delicious and fresh and the service was friendly. We are going putting Blue Door on our list for when we are in Chicago next.“

“Intimate setting with great staff who are always welcoming and warm. Their cocktails aren’t just thrown together; they take weeks to perfect their recipes with the final product being works of art. Their Old Fashioned is my favorite so far and the mango shrimp is my favorite entree. Their lavender/mint tea latte is unique, luscious and calming. Save room for Diego’s homemade desserts, they are luscious! Great food, great cocktails, great staff, great ambiance.“

“Great music by Ivan Singh!“

“I had some extra time to spend in the area and came across the shop. Everything was great, food, service and the atmosphere. I appreciated the opportunity to talk with the owner about his journey in making bagels. I can’t wait to get back and try other sandwiches.“

“Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.“

“Good food, good variety. R&B classics playing in the background. What more could you ask?“

“This review is for the cookbook- This is the second cookbook I’ve purchased from The Chicago Diner, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been packed with flavor, easy to follow, and the kind of food that makes you excited to cook. You can feel the same passion and creativity that I am sure has made their restaurant legendary woven into every page. The instructions are clear, the ingredient lists are accessible, and the results? Absolutely delicious, whether you’re cooking for longtime vegetarians, curious omnivores, or anyone in between. I love that it offers both classic comfort foods and inventive twists, so there’s always something new to try. Owning two of their cookbooks now, I can say without hesitation that The Chicago Diner has earned a permanent spot on my kitchen shelf. If you want recipes that are approachable, satisfying, and guaranteed to impress, this book is a must have!“

“Amazing place to visit. The staff is friendly and helpful.“

“After a mishap with their online ordering system, the owner went above and beyond to make sure I still had a vegan meal for Christmas and my birthday! I live out of town but usually order every time I visit my sister in Chicago. I've never had any complaints, but I'm very grateful for this particular meal that I get to eat tomorrow. Thank you, Kitchen 17!“

“No surprise that Chicago got first Ukrainian ethnic restaurant recommended by Michelin guide! Guys, if you want to experience truly authentic and the highest quality Ukrainian cuisine - don't hesitate! Delicious, beautiful, very affordable food with some unique touches. Borsch, holubtsi, salo, even medovyk cake - seems simple, but they found the ways to highlight something special in every dish. Highly recommended 🙏🏻 #ukrainiancuisine #michlenguide“

“Review based solely on breakfast.I enjoyed the cinnamon French toast and a latte, as well as the basic breakfast dish; all were impressively executed with delightful flavors and freshness. I didn't have high expectations, given that hotel food can sometimes disappoint, but this turned out to be a delightful surprise. Although the service was a bit slow and there were some order mistakes, our waitress was sweet and helpful. I'd definitely dine there again.“
