“Territory Kitchen is a hidden gem of really chill and intimate restaurants in Lincoln Square. I love Chris and Vittorio’s dynamic and vibe makes it really feel like the neighborhood spot you can be a regular at. The food an awesome blend of Italian and German food, from perfectly cooked pastas to savory sandwiches and shoestring fries! The food is what brings me in, but it is definitely the chefs’ energy that brings me back!Vegetarian options: They are very accommodating to edit dishes for vegetarians. And make recommendations too!Kid-friendliness: I always come with with my friend and their family, they are so welcoming and fun with the kids. I also love seeing one of the chef’s young son helping out. One time he played our waiter it was so cute!“
“First time visit to this Chicago landmark. It did not disappoint. Amazing atmosphere where a lifetime collection of enameled beer memorabilia in an old brick building. Great beer selection of Belgian beers and craft beer and an equally impressive menu. Friendly and attentive staff gives it a neighborhood feel that you just want to go back to again and again. Can't wait for my next trip to Chicago.“
“Great place and a great addition to the neighborhood. I’ve been here a few times now and enjoyed everything I’ve had. Great cocktails too. The couple that opened it are wonderful people. The staff and owners are super friendly and attentive.“
“My first time trying this place was for lunch today and it was such a good experience! The host was very welcoming and kind, and so was my server. I tried a blueberry bourbon drink that was amazing, and had a bowl of the chili mac that was even better. I had a lovely time and can’t wait to come back!“
“We had a really nice dinner here a couple days before Christmas. It has a really cozy neighborhood feel and the waiter was super nice. They have a daily happy hour which was awesome, we got mussels and cocktail shrimp for a really good price. It is very family friendly, they were very kind to our toddler. The best thing we ate there among many good things was the apple galette dessert, it was amazing.“
“Came here on New Years Eve after a Google search in the area....thank you Google! The food, the service and everything was so good! We had the big charcuterie board for our appetizer and it was delicious. For our mains, we had the nachos (huge), the scallops, pork belly, salmon burger and grilled cheese. Everyone loved the food and we all left happy! If you're in the area, stop here, you won't be disappointed!“
“the owner jun is so nice, helpful, and funny! it's a great bar to socialize as well as eat and drink. i would come here every day if i could!i got the bulgogi burger and it was delicious- just a heads up if you do get it, it's not a typical 'burger' patty, it's literally bulgogi- but it's so flavorful and unique it's such a good item to try! the fried egg was so good on it...another good item is the bulgogi tacos they come with kimchi on them (so good)also the drinks are strong! i suggest getting the green apple soju (yum)TLDR; come to BDG, not just to drink and socialize, but also to try the delicious food!Vegetarian options: burger made with portabello mushrooms, veggie soup, etc“
“Pleasantly surprised by this place located on Bryn Mawr between Kedzie and Kimball. The initial impression was that the prices on the menu seemed a bit high given its location. And some dishes like hummus plate, which consisted of cut up carrots and cucumber with pita bread and a large spoonful of hummus, was not worthwhile at $14. Same goes for a bowl of Irish cabbage soup for $10. Having said, other items like chicken wings and burgers were quite delicious and were worth paying little more for them. Given their great beer selection and wonderful cocktails, it is worth a visit.“
“The food is consistently very good & fresh. The burgers are smaller than they used to be & more than a little pricey. The shrimp cocktail is very tasty with horseradish in the sauce. The french fries & coleslaw are also really good too.“
“So the food was good but we were disappointed that the salud style tacos didn’t come on blue masa tortilla like it said on the menu and they were unfortunately out of the Empanadas De Yuca which was the thing we were the most looking forward too.Also we were not served any rice or beans which I’m not sure if that is still a thing here but on the menu I have it said this.I definitely recommend the fried Elote it was absolutely amazing an I would definitely get it again.Drinks were good definitely recommend the lavender mojitos and the Mexican mule drink.“
“On this night we chose Legno for dinner and what a great choice! We have been to Legno’s numerous times before, it’s just right we review as one of my faves.The place is beautifully done, with dark woods and a warm decor. They have a very well stocked bar, great menu, a private event room and even their own microbrewery.As we walked in, we immediately heard the local artist singing some lovely tunes. It was so nice to be serenaded while enjoying a beautiful meal.The food was amazing as usual. Fresh and tasty high quality ingredients made every meal smooth and delightful.We ordered the Chicken Parm, Legno Mac n Cheese and the Barbecue ribs. The Chicken as well balanced and moist. The Mac was plentiful and full of flavor. The ribs were a full slab, ball off the bone and delicious. It came with home made potatoes fries. Simply delicious!I ordered a Flying Dog Gonzo to pair it all and chased that with some shared Crème Brûlée since we were full from the meal.Over all, we had a great meal, with a great serenade at a beautiful place.Highly recommend it and if you want music, come by on a Friday.See you here!“

“I had my 60th birthday party at Burke's. It was awesome! We had the party room and it worked great. We NEVER had to ask for food to be brought out as they kept up with it all and replenished as needed. We had a dedicated bartender who was great. The staff were constantly clearing plates and glasses through our 3 hours there. Such a great place and such great staff!“
“Restaurant was open and bright with a nice fireplace and great looking bar. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable when we asked about entrees. The crab cake and the short ribs were delicious. The butter cake was very good also. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely add the Lawn to our dining list.“
“We have taken several tour groups to Hangar Two by Tangled Roots Brewing Co. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly and extremely professional. We love a venue that we can trust with our clients. We plan to bring many more groups. Thank you to Caryn Z. Shulman and Earnest for treating our group as if it were your own family!“
“We LOVED this place. It’s just what a neighborhood bar should be but so much more. All of the food that we ordered was absolutely great, the portions were large and the price was right. Our server was Jessica and she was on top of everything. We order the potato skins and wings. Both were great. We then ordered Philly cheesesteaks, both chicken and steak and the steak burrito. Again, all were great! This is the kind of place that every neighborhood should have. Great food, great atmosphere, great service and all at a great price! We will be back!“
“Solid breakfast that uses pretty nice ingredients from bread to eggs to bacon. Coffee is best I've had at an airport. It's $4 but you get a refill and they give you real half & half. Service is pretty good. My guy was hit and miss. The location is good as you can generally look out the windows while eating. I considered the Cubs Restaurant before I passed on it. That place was dark and too sports-y and not very inviting. This will be my go-to breakfast when I go through ORD from now on. Prices are insane of course but this place is not any more expensive than any other sit-down.“
“I came for the Latin dancing which was surprisingly good here. Plenty of beautiful and capable follows to choose from (though maybe skewing toward the older side which is fine for me in my 50s). Only criticism is the dance floor that wraps around the bar can get a little tight, especially if the people at the bar aren’t aware of the dancing around them.“
“Great last minute meet up spot!!! I ordered one of my favorite signature cocktails ?…a more perfect GIN martini ?….I was personally served and delightfully impressed with the owner of STORMY’s… maybe ? it was the great company I met up with there… I had a pizza! Great!!! I would say if you’re ever in this neck of woods… drop in and stay a while!!! ????????“
