“We randomly stopped in hungry after getting off a flight at OHare. WOW! The food was so good and beers perfectly cold. Might be the best wings I’ve ever had!! Also had a pulled pork sandwich which was scrumptious, chicken Alfredo pasta quickly devoured by our daughter. Curly fries and sweet potato fries also 🔥! Our server, Rachel was great, too!“

“We love this little neighborhood gem!!! Jackie is the best waitress we've ever had there... maybe one of the best we have ever had since moving to Chicago almost three years ago!!!“

“Great service and great food.“

“I Love Portillos it’s excellent. However on the road today. We had ordered a few jumbo dogs with extra onions. I swear one of them had 6,10 and not one of the 5 went over 10 onions. The mustard was like nothing but a faint yellow color basically nothing. Our Portillos at home is so much better. No harm no foul. Still Love Portillos. Note This Was not the Portillos we went to“

“Absolute dominance from a restaurant that is less than a month old. You thought you've had it all, that Chicago couldn't possibly have yet ANOTHER banger in Wicker Park, but i'll be damned, here we are. The cracklin' shrimp is so well done, I would eat a bowl of it. Lemony, spicy, deep fried deliciousness. The half chicken was among the best I've ever had (whatever that green sauce was, was KILLING IT) not to mention my wife's elote lasagna?!?! I can't wait to go back. THE MANAGER EVEN SMELLED GREAT. Victory!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“Amazing, a perfect evening.“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“I had heard Monti's was the best place to get a Philly in Chicago, and since I've been craving one lately, I had to give it a try. I can honestly say it's the best Philly I've had in Chicago and the surrounding areas. It definitely did not disappoint.
I ordered mine with extra mayo and white American cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, the service was great, and the whole experience lived up to the hype. I highly recommend giving Monti's a try if you're looking for an authentic Philly cheesesteak!“

“Honestly one of the best fried chicken spots in Niles! The chicken was super crispy from the outside and juicy inside 🔥 The seasoning is on point and the fries are fresh and well-seasoned.

The place is clean, service is fast, and the staff are friendly. Perfect spot if you’re craving comfort food or a quick bite.

Definitely coming back again and highly recommended! 👍🍗🍟“

Waffle Fries were the best I’ve had since they were perfectly crispy!“

“I loved it. Have been passing by this place since over a decade ago and never had the time. By coincidence I checked it out a few days ago and I ordered a double cheeseburger with onion rings and it was delicious! I also had a chilli which I recommend if you’re into dips! Very good service. Modest prices.“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“Had a short but super nice visit. 10/10 friendly and awesome people. $5 Mimosa get in my belly. Will visit again, will rave about it to anyone who will listen.“

“Pizza was ok, nothing to write home about. I got a slice of sausage, slice of pepperoni, some wings and a cream soda. Wings were also ok. I wouldn’t choose salad dressing as a dipping sauce but hey what are you gonna do. Good crunch on the crust. I bet if I ordered a whole pie and asked for extra sauce well done I would like it more.“

“Such great service (Alex) and food! Fantastic time and we were a large group.“

“30 yr customer, will never see me again, ordered soup of the day chicken with a large pasta noodle, did not care for it at all, 75% broth in large container, expressed my disappointment to Kathy, did not offer apology or to make it right,“

“Never had a bad meal! One of our staples. Love the Red Velvet pancakes, deconstructed lobster eggs Benedict and white chocolate pretzel pancakes!!!“

“Stopped for the first time and it was a great experience despite waiting to be seated which is to be expected for the quality of food they serve. It was also a Saturday. The server was great! He would make sure we were well taken care of and recommended items from the menu since I couldn’t decide from the great variety menu that they offer. I will definitely be going again soon.“

“The wait staff and cooks are fast and friendly...the owners are outstanding! Can't wait to come back!“

“Brought the whole gang. Our hostess was awesome. Got some extra bread and a Blooming Onion. Drinks quick too. And even got in without a wait at 11am on Fathers Day. The manager stopped by to check on us, so nice. Meals were on time and prepared just right. Mine was a wedge salad, six ounce steak, and asparagus. Still, the menu is great, lot's of choices. Thanks Outback.“
