    "We came for Saturday lunch and were able to walk right in. The food was delicious but I especially recommend the pimento Mac and cheese as it was the highlight of our meal! It’s a bummer the burger does not come with fries, that always seems stingy of the restaurant. The chicken and waffles were also solid but did include a few too many gristly bits. I would definitely recommend for lunch or even a mimosa-fueled brunch as we saw many groups enjoying the mimosas towers."

    "Highly recommend trying this spot in Logan Square. The fried calamari was one of their specials and was fire. Tiffany was our server and she was fun, patient, and helpful. My group had a lot of questions about the wine and she was able to make a good recommendation. The steak came out well done and the manager and waitress Tiffany went out of their way to make it right and make us feel better. They quickly brought out a new dish and were kind about it. The chicken sandwich is one of the best I’ve had in the city so don’t skip out on it. The fish sandwich and lobster tacos were great as well. As soon as we got there Amanda the host took care of us. We didn’t have a reservation but we were able to get a table outside on the patio. Overall exceptional experience because of the staff and the food far surpassed my expectations. Can’t wait to go again!"
