I really enjoyed GROUND CONTROL! Everything I had a bite of was so satisfying. The asian bbq nugz were a perfect way to start the meal. They were crispy on the outside with a great texture on the inside. I also ordered the mushroom calamari and that was really to die for. The oyster mushrooms were PERFECTLY fried and I could have eaten a second plate. I had the bahn mi for my main dish and it was delicious. Everything came together with flavors and textures. I would absolutely order it again. I will recommend this place to friends both vegan and non-vegan and I hope to return soon.

My boyfriend and I visited Ground Control for my birthday dinner and we were not disappointed! Their menu has a lot of DELICIOUS vegan options, the atmosphere is very chill/relax, good beers available, what more could you ask for? I cannot wait to go back!

The BAJA tacos were good..The rest of the service was garbage. Especially the waiter who looked like he just rolled out of bed in his tank and boxers. He had a snippy attitude while we were ordering. The wait was also too long. First and last time here.

One of the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to, and definitely the top in Chicago. Everything I've had from here is amazing but the vegan gyro is on another level. Love the cocktails too. Have been here a few times already and will definitely come back often! Everyone is super friendly too. And the music is great!

Just popping in to say the mushroom fried calamari knocked my socks off and our servers were on top of it, every step of the way. This place doesn't just make some great eats and cocktails, it seriously holds it down for my city as a foodie town. Keep up the great work!

Very nice quaint place to go. Very unique. The food was okay but didn't enjoy their peanut sauce, but my fav were the garlic fries and tacos. Very good service overall and the food is pretty good.

Pretty basic vegetarian/vegan place. As an appetizer I got the fried green tomatoes. Maybe it's just me, but it tasted underseasoned. Same with the gyro I got as my main meal, but the sauce made up for it once I got extra. They were also sold out of dessert both times I went, thank God there's a Mexican bakery two stores down. Forget the name but that place was great!

Really great Vegan options and cocktails. Good service with outdoor seating. My partner and I love this place and will be coming back

I suspect this is one of the better places for veg/vegan fare in Chicago. Some options stand out more than others, with the tofricken royal and po boy being delicious while the beet burger was entirely forgettable. The garlic fries sound appealing, but unless I'm mistaken, had a (uh... very) generous amount of raw garlic on it; sure to be a hit if you are on a bad date or meeting that you want to end early. However, the regular fries were some of the best I've had in a while.It feels weird to review under the pretense of "it's really good... for vegan food," but compared to alternatives, the effort here warrants a 5 star rating.Very casual bar atmosphere with calming lighting and relaxed servers. Get the Dr. Brown's soda!

The food was okay at best. Garlic fries were had large pieces of garlic to the point where the flavor was overwhelming.Blackened tofu po boy was not good at all. Staff is very friendly and welcoming but I probably will not be coming back here again.

I ordered for take out, I brought my food back in the car and it smelled really good so my friend wanted to go in and order. I went in with her and sat down at a table (all the tables were empty) and started eating my food. After a few bites I was told by a woman who worked there that I couldn't eat my to-go food in there. I've done that at several other restaurants before and never been told that. The food itself was okay not great, po boy sandwich was pretty good but a bit too salty in my opinion, the french fries were soggy like they'd been sitting in the to-go box a while. My friend got the mushroom calamari which was really delicious though. I might go there again just for the calamari
