“We understand why it’s named Gretel… if you’re wondering where Hansel is, he starved to death waiting for his burger. To be fair, it’s one of the best burgers you can get in Chicago BUT you should not come here if you have any other plans that evening. It took 30 minutes longer to be seated than they initially told us (over an hour and a half total). Once we were seated, pretty sure the waiter forgot about us at our table, but it didn’t really matter because the vibes were high 👌🏼 The drinks were great, but consider bringing your own because you’ll grow a five o’clock shadow waiting for your next round. The host, Jonah, was the shining star of the evening and was truly hilarious. But our waitress kept trying to argue that “well” and “well done” were different levels of doneness, so that was annoying (and slightly concerning). Overall, the food was phenomenal, but it was a very slow experience - the antithesis of “fast” food.“

“This underrated Irish gastropub located on the corner of Lincoln and Sunnyside across from Wells Park in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. At first I was reluctant to go based on some old past reviews but decided that I needed to give it a try for myself. I was pleasantly greeted and immediately served a glass of water with a lemon wedge. I arrived during Happy Hour and ordered a Dirty Martini with Kettle One vodka. It was the BEST cleanest and clearest "Dirty Martini" I've ever received anywhere vs other places that were too cloudy with an overpowering amount of olive juice. As a regular favorite go-to drink of mine, it became CLEAR to me that for the first time I was finally served the perfect well balanced Dirty Martini. For starters, I was recommended by the bartender Ralph, the Crispy Goat Cheese that came with a tomato based sauce spread and lightly toasted Peasant bread. The goat cheese (my favorite) was perfectly fried warm and soft on the inside and a crispy light breading on the outside. It was amazingly delicious, hardy and dainty at the same time. The presentation was on point! Next was the Beet and Goat Cheese Salad without any meat added. By far, this is a true rock star of all salads. Not only is it very tasty but also heart healthy and provides great energy and libido. The baby spinach was fresh, crisp and CLEAN. All the other ingredients just made it all the more better which I paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio wine from Italy. On to the dessert, which was also recommended, Butterscotch Pecan Bread Pudding with Vanilla Bean Gelato. It blew me away. It was beautifully presented, warm, moist and just the right amount of sweetness. It was suggested that I have a small pour of dessert liqueur, Shanky's Whip, to pair together. It's a whiskey "blend" with vanilla and caramel tones and a Butterscotch aroma. I was truly taken back how delightful it tasted. Just when I thought my exceptional experience was over, I happen to get into a discussion about Ron Zacapa Rum made with virgin sugar cane. I learned about the process of how it's made and operated by a woman. It was very interesting topic. Ralph the bartender whipped up, on the spot, a new twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail using this premium Guatemalan rum. It was outstanding! I do hope they consider adding this to their regular cocktail menu. I would definitely order it again! Before I left, I did order a Reuben Sandwich to go for tomorrow's lunch. It had a good hefty amount of corned beef and still good the next day. To quickly point out a few things...they have 3 entrances. The main entrance is a revolving glass door. The other 2 doors are handicap accessible, a well lit side door on Sunnyside Ave. and a dining room entrance on Lincoln Ave. The bathroom was clean with a standard size stall and a spacious handicap stall. They have a separate dining room/party room for gatherings or to just come & eat if you don't want to dine in a bar setting with family. A kid's menu is available. It's holiday decorated and cheerful. The owner, Owen, politely answered my question about outdoor seating in the summer. It seats up to 70 people on both streets, Sunnyside Ave facing Wells Park providing a more peaceful view and Lincoln Ave facing the main busy street. I noticed alot of women here...more than some other places I've been to and instantly felt at ease. I did strike up a conversation with a small group of women who were seated along the additional tables across from the bar. To my surprise, it was also their 1st time. They were walking and looking for something to eat and the well lit lighting outside and decorations made them feel safe & inviting. The bar-back was hustling, cleaning and restocking. They have a big selection of beer and ciders on tap, bottles and cans. I noticed they serve a perfect beer on draft with a glass rinse as it cools simultaneously. This place is a true diamond in the ruff with elevated food options, cocktails & bar staples. A must go kinda place to ex“

“We went at Christmas time. They decorate the restaurant from the ceiling to the floor in lights. You can't help but get in the festive mood. We did make reservations and we came earlier and they still sat us. The staff was very friendly. I started with a cocktail called the Ramblers Rest. It was tasty. I could really taste the pomegranate notes. For appetizers we got the poutine. It is okay. For dinner I got the chef's wedge salad it was delicious. The homemade ranch dressing and the bacon bits totally made the salad. My hubby got their shepherd's pie. He said it was great. They have Coke products. They have a private area, and plenty of seating options. They have two fire places. I definitely want to go back during the summer. It looks like they have a large patio. Oh and they have a no stroller rule in the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: No strollers allowed in the restaurant.“
