Great place for dinner. It's small but intimate. The menu is not too large, yet it has great options. The service was top-notch. She was very attentive and took great care of our group of eight. Let's start with the grill bread with olive oil and herbs. Perfect char and great taste. Crab cakes is a meal in itself. Would have loved a bit more of the remoulade sauce, but no biggie. The lamb chops with a side of collards were full of flavor and very tender. All in all, the 1636 North is a must try. You will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to our next visit. read more

The food was okay not great. They don't serve alcohol so we went to the jazz spot on the corner. The server was sweet and efficient.

This spot is a 10/10! The food is nice and fresh and the portion sizes are amazing. Can't wait to come back into town to try them out again. read more

I drove 2 hours from NY and was 20 mins late and they didn't let me in because I didn't meet the 15 min protocol. I'm highly upset on Father's Day, I will never return... read more

Wow! What an unexpected gem. I saw their menu posted in their window, and popped in to see if they were open. A cheerful woman greeted me and offered seating inside or out. I was torn between shrimp or lamb chops, and when I let her in on my dilemna, she shepherded me toward the lamb. I sat at one of the outside cafe tables and watched the city happen around me. She showed up quickly with a plate of warm, buttery, savory biscuits, water and complimentary Perrier or any soft drink. Turns out, my greeter was the co-owner with her chef-husband, and they decided to expand from their food truck to a physical restaurant, and took ownership of this location on March 9, 2020 - the day before the pre-Covid times ended. They had to scramble to remodel by themselves, and were saved by delivery and pick-up orders. They are doing strong weekend business, but I encourage anybody to visit them on a weekday (Thursday for me). Back to my food: the herb crusted lamb chops were seasoned and grilled to perfection, and the asparagus I chose as my side was perfectly crisp-tender. I had to ask about dessert, and the Ferraro Rocher torte was spectacular. Go! Eat! Enjoy! Support this lovely couple who lovingly put delicious food on the table!! read more

I walked into this venue yesterday to help a fellow Comedian by bringing my sound equipment for his show. I introduced myself to one of the owners "I think he was an owner", I proceeded to compliment the venue and said, "hey I'm not part of the show tonight, I'm just here for the sound, but I'd love to support your venue, can I please have a menu" 15 minute later I get a menu and ordered food, 20 minutes after that they tell me they don't have what I ordered from THEIR menu. I ask them what my choices are, I order the most expensive item from those choices and 3 hours later, the show ended and I never got ANY food. As I'm wrapping up my equipment, I over hear the owners complaining about money, so I told them they need to start by blaming themselves. If their service is any indication of their business mindset, they're going to lose more than money. I'd never attempt to give them my business again and I highly recommend AVOIDING this place. Advice: Treat EVERYONE like they have thousands of followers (because I do) Treat everyone like they will give you the review you deserve (Like I always do) Treat EVERY customer with respect, before you're left with NO Customers OR respect. read more

The food here is delicious. We ordered the salmon, linguine, asparagus, truffle Mac and cheese, and the fire grilled curry mango shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. This is my husband's and I new spot, for sure. My belly is so full and we are so happy. We are true foodies, so this helped make our stay at home date night special. read more

Food is delicious. Full of flavor. Huge portions. Service was great. Have ordered take out from them as well and they never disappoint.

We really enjoyed our experience. Food took a little longer but that's because everything was made fresh to order. I'll take that any day. Costumer service was very good. Atmosphere was nice. All around great experience. read more

On 5/7/2022 a visit to 1636 North was like no other. My family and I were in search of a fine dining experience after attending the AIC University Graduation ceremony. After searching Google and weeding out several other options we decided to go to 1636 North. Upon arrival we saw an empty restaurant with one employee attending to front of house operations. We requested a table for 5 and were quickly denied on the grounds that they were fully booked with prior reservations and if we wanted a table we would have to make a reservation for another day. Sadly disappointed we headed to the Mexican restaurant across the street, in which we sat in the bar area with a view of 1636 North. After finishing our meal at the Mexican restaurant, I decided to pop back into 1636 North because I noticed the lack of activity, being they claimed to have been fully booked. Upon looking in the establishment I noticed that the restaurant had one table with 2 customers. I kindly asked if the white gentleman that were seated, if they happed to have placed a reservation as the restaurant was just as empty as my initial visit. They kindly replied "No, we just came in." Astonished by this, I began to inquire as to why my family and I were discriminated against and what made the other customers, request different than ours. Needless to say I was told to leave by the employee who's picture is attached. If you are thinking of eating here please don't support this business who clearly discriminates against people of color. It's a shame to see that in 2022 we are still faced with issues from the Jim Crow time period. What good is the food if their practices towards customers of color are that disgusting? read more

I was so happy to see they offered delivery. The flavors were outstanding, you can taste the quality of the food. Portions are very reasonable. Definitely adding them to the rotation read more

I wanted to support a Black-owned restaurant when I visited Springfield, and I'm really glad I found out about 1636 North. I got a table outside, which had a nice view of cars passing by on Worthington Street. The owners were my servers that day, and they were really friendly, offering me water and a bottled drink. I ordered the deep fried lobster tail with waffles because I'd never had it before, and I was really happy with the blend of sweet and savory. The price was reasonable (compared to Boston at least), and I was full when I was done. I hope to try more of the menu when I return. read more

Hidden gem. This place is small and simple but the food is fantastic. Everything we ordered was perfect from the wings to the lamb chops!

Not sure how to rate the place. Food was pretty good but the place was little weird. First the staff was surprised that they had customers( kept wondering what do the know that we didn't ) Then it is byob which some might like some may not. But it only had 4 tables , could hear load talk come from the kitchen. For now I would say this restaurant is fair. read more

Lovely setting with excellent service. We were seated outside. The view was very pleasant. Even though the place was busy the service was very good. The food was quite good. Drinks were excellent. Highly recommended as a good place to have a relaxing evening read more
