Everyone was super nice and helpful, informing us about their menu and the offerings. I got a bowl with arugula, tomato and peaches, corn, salmon, and pesto. I loved all the summer flavors and they went so well together. Truly delicious. My standout was the peach and tomato side. Now, do I think it's vastly different than sweet green or dig? No, but the staff is nicer. Next time I'm in Chicago I wouldn't go out of my way to get this, but it's a great lunch choice for those in the city itself.

I thought the passion fruit lychee matcha spritz was a very unique flavor but it was really good. The pistachio croissant was also a great treat with more pistachio custard inside. The sandwiches were also super fresh and delicious. One thing to note is I got a kale salad (from the fridge section) and there was something very hard and crunchy inside I felt like I was going to break a tooth so I had to throw it away. Besides that everything was wonderful here.

I come here probably four times a week for lunch. You should, too. It's just great. The food is…read morehealthy. You feel good after eating it. Also, everyone is nice. Theo is the man. Such good service always. Denise is awesome. So is Adriane. I don't know the names of the other people behind the counter but they're great, too. They work hard and it doesn't go unnoticed. Also, the team makes me feel welcome when I hang out in there. I am a writer by trade, and as a writer, I benefit from having almost exactly the same routine every day for months at a time. And in the dead of winter in Logan, my routine, weirdly, was walking twenty minutes to go to FARE. I got to know Katie, who manages operations, during those months. I also met Liz, who does seemingly everything. She also took over as manager of the Logan Square location when they needed it earlier this year. A crazy feat. Love to see a leader getting their hands dirty. Anyway. I really like this place. Right now my go-to order is a salmon plate with the tomatoes and peaches, elote salad, sweet potatoes, and lemon vinaigrette. Tomorrow, it might be something else. There are so many combinations and they're all delicious and filling. If that sounds like your jam, give FARE a shot.

I really enjoy something so spicy its challenging, nay punishing. I love it. Some of my favorite…read morememories are of eating foods that set me on fire almost. Not all the time I like this, but its a real treat for me and ive got a significant tolerance for heat, not crazy but its up there. The Lil Insanity rub on my wings from Fry The Coop almost brought me to my knees. The flavor starts off a bit bright and peppery without overtaking the chicken. Then a smoky heat starts to slowly build, something that in my experience harkens a soon to come and significant uptick in heat. After that it just gets hotter until the heat in your mouth is all that exists. The coleslaw and pickles help, the house sauce (excellent), and the Mac n cheese help and are all delicious. I threw in the towel after 3 wings and am nursing them one at a time again the next day. I just want you say I am so so happy with my purchase / experience. So, so hot without sacrificing flavor. Couldn't be happier. 5 stars, can't wait to order again.

After a week of juicing and water only, I was more than ready for my first solid meal. I came…read moreacross Elephant + Vine, a vegan comfort/fast food spot at 2315 N. Lincoln Ave., and between the menu and the name (yes, the elephant caught my attention), I knew I had to check it out. There's plenty of street parking in the area, I went on a Sunday, so meters were free. The interior is bright, green, and inviting, with lots of seating and great natural light coming in from the front windows. There's also outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service is counter-style, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's fairly simple, but still fun and satisfying. I ordered an Impossible burger, tater tots, and a strawberry almond milk smoothie. My friend got fries, so I was able to try both. After over 40 days without fried food, I was especially excited for the tots and they did not disappoint. Overall, the food was good and solid across the board. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely satisfying. If you're vegan or vegetarian and craving a classic burger experience, this is a great option. The smoothie was good as well, though I personally prefer fruit-forward smoothies with lighter juices, so the almond milk base wasn't quite my favorite, but it still complemented the meal nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit-down spot with a cute atmosphere and a solid Impossible burger at a reasonable price, Elephant + Vine is a great choice. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I got the reuben sandwich and turkey pesto panini. The size is also pretty decent so u will be full, even if it doesn't look like it right away. However unfortunately i didnt love it the sandwiches. There are no bread options so you're stuck with the rye bread for the ruben and although that's traditional- you need stronger ingredients to balance that out. And unfortunately it was a little too dry and there wasn't enough sauce, cheese or fresh sauerkraut to balance it out, especially with the layers of meat. Same with the panini which was somehow worse, i've made better ones in middle school lol. Really for both i can give a 2.5/5 at best. I like that they have halal meat and a limited menu so options aren't overwhelming. But my feedback would be to offer people different types of bread to choose from and really perfecting the skill and ratio of what makes a perfect sandwich. For $30 for 2 sandwiches I expect to be wow'd and craving another fix in a week and that's just not the case here. I hope they can improve and get more business!
