“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡”

“Highly recommend dining here! The staff and owner were wonderful to us. Pizza was excellent, really good thin and crispy crust. Toppings were so fresh, and the pepperoni was some of the best I’ve had. Not overly greasy, just plain flavourful.”

“First time going here and it was a great experience! The food was delicious. The million dollar bacon is the best, i could of got an order to go!!! The people are great and made sure we had a good meal.”

“This Capri sub is an absolute delight! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft inside—while the layers of Genoa salami, capicola, and mortadella deliver authentic, savory flavor. Fresh provolone, and a bright drizzle of house-made Italian vinaigrette tie everything together. Topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, this sandwich hits every note and leaves you craving more”

“Ice chai latte

Dietary restrictions: I love their customer service they help you especially in the morning it's better to go in the morning than go in the afternoon when there's a lot of people but besides it is because I work right next to it And there's always sales.”

“The napkins ran out when I needed extra napkins for my meal. It would be helpful if there was a better and visible sign that directed people to the pick up counter in order to pick up online orders. Otherwise, the food was good.”

“Good place to grab a steak eggs & cheese McGriddle. $2 through the app, select 'already here' while in transit to save prep time.

“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!”

“I had an outstanding experience at the Goose Island Tap Room. The atmosphere was welcoming, the beer selection was excellent, and the overall vibe made for a great time. What truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service provided by Brian Freeman.
Brian went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. He was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about providing top-tier service. He took the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and make us feel valued as guests.
It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personable approach, and Brian absolutely delivered. Because of his outstanding hospitality, I'll definitely be returning and recommending Goose Island Tap Room to friends and family.
Thank you, Brian, and the entire Goose Island Tap Room team for a fantastic experience!”

“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.”
