Food was delicious!! It’s hard to come by gluten free fried foods, like a chicken sandwich, and fried pickles. This place had it all! So many options to choose from. All the staff were so nice, and the food was made quickly. Highly recommend! I will be returning on my next trip to Chicago.

Got takeout. Worst chicken sandwich I have ever had. Like chewing rubber. The bread was similarly chewy. Fries are quite expensive for the quantity and are not very good either.

Also got beef and bison burger. They are fine. Nothing spectacular but I will blame that on being takeout.

Owner was on site and what an amazing g human being, was patient with me as I was out of town and with all the options couldn't fully decide on what I wanted on my burger, he was helpful and made recommendations and let me tell you, listen to the chef, food was fantastic, staff was amazing, do yourself a favor and stop by, double bonus points if you have any one with a gluten allergy, they have them completely covered!!!

Came with my friend who has Celiac and this is one of the best places that is able to cater to her allergy (not just food wise, but also with cross contamination) and taste amazing at the same time. GF or not, the food is delicious and the people who work here are incredibly kind. They give a good option to those that have so few restaurants to choose from. ESPECIALLY when it comes to fried food. Would love to see them expand.

Ive been here twice. First time, i ordered a burger, it was great. Second time I ordered a steak sandwich and it was bad. Barely had any meat and it was cut up in strips, which is odd.

My daughter and I both have celiac disease. I found this hidden gem on accident and came back the very next day to try more on the menu. The breaded mushrooms, onion petals and fried chicken patty are hand breaded in house and my favorite so far. We have tried all the fries, multiple burgers and chicken sandwich. All have been phenomenal. The gf buns are grilled and you just can’t find that anywhere! I want to say that my husband and mom are not gluten free and they loved their buns as well. All of the fried items they could not tell they were gf. And everyone should order the brownie because it’s the best brownie you will ever eat. This place is absolutely phenomenal. I saw a review about pricing and to be honest I think their prices are extremely reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about the food and quality. Run don’t walk. You won’t regret it.

We placed an order online for pick up, and everything was hot and delicious. I got the Big Breakfast burger, and I highly recommend it. Very tasty with a pepper jack kick with fresh-cut fries, yum.

So… this is a hard review to make. The food was NOT the issue. The service was NOT the issue either. Both were totally acceptable and quite pleasant.
However, it was the experience. For 4 people, our bill was almost $90! To add, there are no free refills AND I was sweating the entire time there due to the temps inside. I left uncomfortable, broke, thirsty, and slightly still hungry. We always look for a new place to eat prior to our flights from O’Hare but this one will be a “one and done “ experience.

To be transparent, I am far from being a cheapskate but if I’m paying top dollar for bar food, I DO expect the experience to least make up for the costs. As you can tell from my hundreds of other reviews, I ALWAYS give credit where it’s due and this like a few others is just not it. Do better guys!

LOVED, LOVED the Chicago Hot Dog!!!! The Onion Petals were a bit too greasy for my taste.

It was good, but not all it was hyped up to be as far as the reviews were. Maybe the reviews set my expectations too high?
A bit pricey

I remember how small they started back in 2013 and love how they expanded their restaurant. Amazing taste and one of the best burger joints in the area!!!
