The restaurant's menu features a taste explosion of glorious poutines, a poutine with brisket that is so damn good, and inventive signature burgers that are considered the best in the Chicagoland area.

The Vegan Birria Tacos (hibiscus flowers, spicy dipping sauce, vegan cheese, cilantro, onion, elote salad) are excellent. There were some very interesting flavors, the tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat.

Great rotating draft beer options.

The decor is very interesting with a huge dragon artwork on the ceiling in the bar area.

I can wait to come back.

We went to the new location on Belmont this last weekend & are so thrilled with our experience. From the service to the drinks and the food, everything was delicious. I ordered the steak sandwich & thought it was fantastic (I like mine cheesy & saucy). My husband ordered the "Da Bears" burger & ate the whole thing. We started with the cheese curds that the table cleared within minutes. Our server was wonderful as well, she was attentive & we never had an empty glass. If you like...read full review
