Comfort Food Restaurants in Chicago, IL

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

“I stopped here for a quick bite, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this place is special. Before even walking into the restaurant, I was looking at the menu outside when the owner noticed me and started a conversation. He was so friendly and welcoming that he easily convinced me to come in!

I ordered the bread board, and it was delicious! With different kinds of bread and spreads, it was honestly enough to be a full meal for me.

The owner Kirtan was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout my visit. He kept checking on us to make sure everything was good, which made me feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of.

I’m so glad I stopped by, and I can’t wait to come back when I have more time to try other things from the menu. Definitely a place worth checking out!“

“The food here is really satisfying. I took some non vegans here and they seemed to enjoy it was well! We got some milkshakes, which were really good. We tried to wings. I wish they were a little smaller, but still good. My sandwich was the best I really loved it. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-23“

“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.“

“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.“

“My biggest issue was arriving ON TIME for my reservation but being told I had to wait 30 mins for a table. Which was ridiculous. Ok fine. My other guest were literally finding parking and walking up .. when a table came up we couldn't be seated because they weren't there yet, which I get but they were literally 1 min away. They gave our table away in the one min causing us to wait longer. Which wouldn't be a problem if you hadn't told us we had a 30 min wait with a reservation in the first place. Once we were seated our server Jordan did a phenomenal job! She knew the menu offered great options and substitutions. The food and drinks were amazing. I got the stuffed salmon. Sauce on there is good but slightly salty. But I am always a member of the clean plate club and I left no crumbs ! I would go back they just need to work on that and having additional seating for those waiting.“

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

“Had a phenomenal experience here. Kind and quick service, beautiful interior, all that—but goodness gracious the food?!?? The Ropa Vieja was phenomenal, lovingly stewed and seasoned beef and fresh rice and veggies gosh DARN and to say nothing of the homemade hot sauce? Delightfully smoky vinegary kick that brought it all together. Great guac, great drinks, great dinner. The highest of recommendations! Thanks for a great meal Zully and kitchen :)“

“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“
