Comfort Food Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Bagel Miller is a go-to spot in Lincoln Square. The branding and atmosphere are fun and creative, the staff is welcoming, and the bagels, coffee, matcha, and chai are delicious. They have a gluten free bagel option too (although it is not homemade like their bagels made with gluten). The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey but still worth it for the taste.“

“Really cool environment & attentive, friendly staff and manager. The menu us creative, though it did not all land for our party. Specialty cocktail was so heavy on pour it felt like a just 21 bar. Corn soup was excellent. But other entrees were a bit heavy handed on salt, sauces & breading so individual flavors muted. Nice to have a new alternative in this area that feels upscale. Appreciate open air seating option too.“

“Very tasty sundubu, delicious sides, and good service.“

“This is an adorable diner with great food. I am an omnivore, but I thought their Country Benedict was very good. They do give you the option of eggs or tofu. I went with eggs and they were perfectly cooked. I also tried the French toast sticks and they were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient.“

“Anniversary Dinner Done Right!

Celebrated our anniversary at Kitchen Kocktails, and it did not disappoint! The vibes were amazing, but the food completely stole the show.
The Chicken with the sauce was done in perfection and incredibly juicy very flavorful. Now the Mac and Cheese was ultra-rich, cheesy, and baked just right. The Collard Greens was deeply savory and perfectly seasoned. What made it feel like home was
Combining all three on one forkful and that was unmatched. They surprised us with a desert that was so delicious to end the meal. Overall Great drinks, lively energy, and the perfect spot to celebrate. We’ll definitely be back! 🥂🍗

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“

“This place is located in the heart of my old neighborhood and the food is good. I have tried almost every potato they serve except one and I have no doubt I’m gonna like that one as well but my favorite is the pot roast potato. Everyone has their own taste to what is good but I will definitely say check them out. You won’t be disappointed.“

“This was the second day of their Halloween Town popup and it was AMAZING. Fatima was so awesome and got along with our kiddos perfectly. The food was absolutely amazing as well, I swear it was the best cheese curds and spinach artichoke dip that I've ever tasted as well. The titles of the food and drinks were so fun, and all the kids loved their "spirits without spirits". I would go again in a heart beat. Dougie (I really hope I heard his name right... if not I'm sorry!) Is the manager and he made a point to check in and conversed with the kiddos as well. If you're on the fence about going.... I suggest taking the leap and walk into Halloween Town! 🎃“

“What I love about Grand Rising Cafe is the passion behind it! I am the niece of Auntie Tam and Uncle Saleem and I am proud of the restaurant they opened up! I tried their food—salmon croquettes with eggs and rice, and it was absolutely delicious, along with the sausage and the skillet meals. I would say that I’d rather go back there than any other place because of the food they make and I can’t wait to eat there again!“
