As you push through the blue door, this small space opens up to a sheik eatery, white plates with blue flowers adorning the tables... framed by pale blue felt back chairs. Staff are inviting and knowledgeable. Everything was so good! The kale salad was perfect with the perfect amount of dressing, you could taste every item in it. Have to come back for the other salads. Perfect hot toddy and exceptional carrot cake. Will def be back. read more

Amazing! One of the best meals I've had! Everything was phenomenal. We shared a few appetizers: beet tartare with plantain chips, sweet potato empanadas with chimichurri, crab cakes, and cheese curds with ranch. All awesome! The cheese curds are extremely addictive. You've been warned. The soup of the day was potato leek and I enjoyed my cup. I loved my Brussels and Kale salad!! Best salad I've had in a long time. Every bite was bursting with flavor. It was well balanced and perfect. My boyfriend really liked his salmon entree and my friend enjoyed his Cobb Salad. Fantastic cocktails too. Very smooth espresso martini and the Lavender Rita had a nice kick to it. Excellent and attentive service. Beautiful restaurant. Lovely and romantic with the dim lighting. Nice place to go for a date or special occasion. There is an upstairs too. Very spacious venue. I'm so happy my friend suggested this place. It was a very memorable meal and I highly recommend coming here. read more

For our annual New Year's brunch, we chose Blue Door Farmstand. Having been to Blue Door Kitchen & Garden before, I wanted to try another one of their restaurants. The aesthetics were charming, original and very farm style. We were seated upstairs, but there is an elevator if needed. We ordered several appetizers and they did not disappoint. The drinks were stiff and delicious, and the coffee was just as good. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. By the time my entrée arrived, I was already a little full, but everything I tried was fantastic. I would definitely come back! read more

We were super hungry and decided to get a quick brunch at blue door. We have been to their other location, blue door kitchen and garden so we're excited to try farm stand. They had a 45 min wait and we got a table right in time. The service was fast. The ambience is cute and cozy. We got some mimosas, veggie burger with salad and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Except for the tomato also, the food was very very very scrumptious. It's hard to find a decent veggie burger and blue door nailed it. I will definitely be back! read more

Two floors, filled with natural light and heavy plant life stapled with antique doors. French inspired place, this was a great experience. I grabbed the BKT wrap, sweet potato fries and a blueberry muffin OF COURSE. Ingredients are fresh and the food was carefully prepared. Upon request, the bartender curated a custom cocktail for me, and it was amazing. Thanks Blue Door team! read more

I've come a couple of times and it is always pretty good. We stopped in for lunch and tried: - Farmstand Burger - Sesame Chicken Salad The burger was cooked perfectly and the salad wasn't bad. It was packed, but the food came pretty quickly so no complaints. A great spot to meet up with friends. read more

A solid brunch with a cute, rustic yet airy ambiance. The perfect place when you're looking for a slightly healthier and elevated take on classic dishes. The carrot hummus is a great opener, hard to go wrong but had refreshing veggies + great texture. The sweet potato empanada shareables were delicious - perfectly salted which is harder to achieve than one might think. The Greek omelet I ordered was okay - tasty but also nothing special! Service was great, place was busy but they made you feel at home. read more

Got a big table for a casual bridal shower. We were a little squished into a corner and the service was alright. The brown line wrap was pretty yummy and decently sized. Mostly egg. I wish it had come with a salsa or aioli or something. It also got pretty soggy. Still tasty though. read more

We went here for brunch on restaurant week. It's a nice venue with good space and light. We sat in the front. We split the apps of sweet potato empanadas and sweet potato hummus which were both very tasty. I had cornbeef hash and eggs. It was good and the portion was large. I had to take half home which air fried great tbh. But looking around the dining room, they had numerous breakfast platters that looked super tasty too. It's a cute spot. Service was friendly and accommodating. read more

What a lovely place! Blue Door Farm Stand reminds me of a quaint French inspired restaurant. The atmosphere feels relaxed and chill. As Restaurant Week aficionados, we like to go on gastronomical adventures. Blue Door is one being on our list. I found the wait staff accommodating. They addressed the problem very quickly. The server quickly came back with a salad with no onions. The manager came back with a small cup of honey. Which I really appreciate. The food tastes wonderful. I enjoy eating the vegetables burrito. It comes with avocado, eggs, red peppers, and cucumbers. Divine! The menu for Restaurant Week offers Tiramisu for dessert. Of course, we need to have tiramisu being one of our favorites! Come and enjoy the fresh and delicious food. Bring a date, family or friends. read more

Meh. There was nothing special about this place. Our mains (chicken Alfredo and short rib) were dry and under seasoned. The service was not very attentive. My cocktail was fine, but the server didn't even ask me if I wanted another. The Brussels sprouts were bland and not roasted long enough. I don't even cook often and I've made more flavorful Brussels sprouts than these. read more

Went here with my friend for brunch, the mimosas were really good! The place is really cute too, relatively small but really cute decor! The avocado Benedict was nice and fresh, it was arugula heavy but honestly it was just what I wanted that day. I would come here again! read more

As a girl with friends who are always late, I love that BDFS seat you before your entire party arrives. The space is shabby chic and cute. The service was sweet but slow. Took over 15 minutes to be welcomed and put my drink order in. After ordering, the food took almost an hour. It was a busy Saturday at noon, but not THAT busy. The food was fine. I ordered the Farmstand Burger - fine. My friend got the Arugula and Fig sandwich - fine. We enjoyed catching up while waiting for the food, but the food wasn't worth the long wait. read more

Our daughter took us out to lunch to the Blue Door Farm Stand as it's one of her favorites. It's now one of our favorites as well. The interior is set up very well and is nicely decorated. There is also a second floor with even more seating so don't be fooled by the small interior of the first floor. Our wait staff were prompt and friendly and anticipated all of our needs. We were presented with the best dilemma of having to choose between many delicious sounding option, which guarantees that we will return. I love it when restaurants offer a simple menu with fresh ingredients. My Cobb salad was one of the best I've had. There is ample street parking and the restaurant is close to several shopping area. Stop by the next time you're in the area and you will quickly discover a gem! read more

Stopped into Blue Door Farmstand with a colleague for a quick lunch, and it ended up being such a great experience! I really liked the simplicity of the menu everything felt approachable, fresh, and thoughtfully put together. My colleague ordered the fig and arugula sandwich and raved about the plantain chips on the side. I went with the burger and fries, and I have to say the pickles on the burger stood out they added such a great flavor that made the whole thing memorable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with the open doors and airy, open-concept layout. It's the kind of space that makes you want to linger. Service was also excellent the staff was kind, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Prices were very reasonable given the quality of the food and overall experience. I'd definitely come back, not only to try more from the menu but also to explore some of the little shops nearby. Highly recommend if you're in Chicago and looking for a spot that combines great food, good vibes, and fair pricing! read more

Had a very enjoyable dinner here. I got the short rib. Portion size was generous and flavor was great. Stewed in carrot, tomato, etc. very tasty. My only complaint was that they had no whisky cocktails. But I was able to try a nice cherry chouffe beer instead. Service was nice. It is a bit hectic on a Friday evening. But overall great experience! read more

Came in during a weekday afternoon for lunch. It wasn't busy and I was able to get seated right away. The hostess was very sweet and gave a warm welcome in. However, the remainder of my service was kind of the opposite. My waiter wasn't rude, but he seemed like he didn't care. He just took our order and gave us the check. Another waiter would come by more frequently to fill up our water and take away our plates . This lackluster service wasn't a huge deal to me until I saw a man, who seemed to be the manager, approach the table adjacent to me and ask them how their meal / service was going. He then proceeded to kindly ask if any of them were Yelp reviewers and advised them that writing a review would be appreciated. One gentlemen at the table stated that he was a Yelp reviewer and would post something (not sure if he did). Shortly after the man, who I believed to be the manager, came by with glasses of wine for their table... I just think that's interesting. I didn't see any other table get this treatment, so just curious as to why these people in particular were singled out. As for the food, I originally came in to try the Brussel and Kale salad that people were raving about on tiktok. I ended up ordering the Lincoln Park combo with the Brussel Kale Salad, a half grilled cheese and a cup of tomato soup. While I will say the salad was delicious, the grilled cheese and tomato soup wasn't anything amazing. Would I go back? Meh, maybe to order takeout. For others who would still like to try out this restaurant, street parking can be a pain if it's busy so be advised. Additionally, the restaurant does take reservations and I believe they are on OpenTable so plan your visit in advance. read more

I visited Blue Door Farm Stand for lunch today with my sister. It was a last-minute decision, and while the ambiance was cozy, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Since there weren't any regular tables available, we sat at the bar, which worked fine. I ordered a drink--pretty sure it was called the Bourbon Berry--and it was fantastic! Refreshing and well-balanced, it was definitely the highlight of the meal. For my entrée, I went with the Farmstand Burger with bacon, egg, and avocado, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The burger was overcooked and dry, and the egg wasn't runny (which is kind of what I was hoping for). To top it off, they didn't have BBQ or steak sauce, so I couldn't salvage it. I barely got through half of the burger. While I appreciated the friendly waitress and the drinks, I left feeling underwhelmed by the food. I'd be open to trying something else from their menu next time, but I wouldn't recommend the burger. read more

A cute interior, my friends and I came here for brunch. We were seated immediately but even though it wasn't super busy, it took a long time for our food to come out. I got the cobb salad with no bleu cheese which wasn't bad. My group got the grilled cheese/tomato soup (my friend really like it), the sesame chicken salad, and the burger with sweet potato fries. Overall a little slow and the chicken seemed like it could've been less dry/higher quality but a good aesthetic restaurant that's relatively healthy and that you can grab last minute reservations at. read more

We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks here for our wedding. The service was absolutely exceptional. All of the staff were so friendly, flexible, and responsive during planning. The venue was beautiful and needed very little additional decorations. Our meal was great too! All around perfect. read more

I'm giving this place five stars for the service alone. Our server Mairead gave incredible food recommendations (and warnings as necessary). The restaurant was pretty quiet when we arrived, but it never felt like she was hovering over us. She was happy to help, and I would definitely ask for her to be our server again! The food was alright. A bit pricey for what it was. But the cheese curds were phenomenal, and that's coming from someone who KNOWS a Wisconsin curd. Drinks were delicious and adorable. I'd also highly recommend the affogato. The balance of espresso and vanilla gelato was perfect, and I ate that up despite being incredibly full. Thanks to Mairead for that recommendation, too! read more

i've heard great things about blue door farm stand so wanted to check it out! i ended up going after running a half marathon so I was starving and wanted something satiating that was going to make my body feel good, and i think blue door was the perfect place for that combination. i got the corned beef hash, which i've never had before, and i really enjoyed it. i found the ratio of ingredients to be exactly what i wanted (veg : meat : potato : egg : salsa). it's definitely centered around fresh, clean ingredients so there's no frills and I really appreciate that you can taste the actual food what it is instead of a overpowering/dominating sauce. the salsa complemented everything nicely but it didn't threaten to be the star of the show which i really liked. one thing I'll note is that our hostess was acting a little strange and she was a little unhelpful and unfriendly. i also had to request a new glass of water because mine came with a lipstick stain on it and my waiter assured me he would bring me a new one, but i did end up having to ask 3 times before i finally got it. i'm not too nitpicky about customer service having worked as a waiter/hostess in the past - i get it - but i think it's worth mentioning in this review. read more

Booked a brunch reservation and I will definitely be coming back. While I waited for my party, the host offered me to sit at the bar which I was really excited about because I NEEDED a coffee haha. The transition from the bar to our table was so smooth and everyone was really kind. Most importantly though, the food was delicious! I had a soup, chilaquiles, and a zucchini muffin for dessert. The chilaquiles were perfectly crispy and so flavorful. I wish I had ordered zucchini muffins to go because I couldn't stop thinking about it for a few days after haha. read more

We came in for lunch and had the 1/2 salad and soup meal and a full sized salad. My salad was amazing - kale, almonds, Brussels, parm and an amazing dressing. Everything in the menu looked great.

Five stars for being able to seat a table of 8 people last minute for a Friday lunch! We were looking for a restaurant to seat our large group around the Armitage area, and we're so lucky to have found Blue Door that was so accommodating. The menu is a crowd pleaser. Big salads, burgers, an abundance of sandwiches and soups. You really can't go wrong here no matter what dietary restrictions you or your group might have. We started with the cheese curds and crab cakes. Visually, the curds were beautiful but when we received them, they were a bit cold and stuck together. Still delicious, but if they'd been hot - they would have been super super delicious. The crab cake was tasty but not exceptional. My friend and I split the brussel salad and burger with fries. The salad was great, and the burger was better than expected. Very, very good double patty with perfect fries. Would definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to friends that are in the area. Not quite a destination restaurant, but a reliable space for big groups! read more

I met 2 friends for dinner on Thursday night for one of my friends birthdays, reservations were at 5pm. They sat us at the best table by the windows. There were a few mosquitoes flying around. Our server seemed pre occupied as she had a group of friends visit her at work, and one returned to retrieve a beverage to go. Once we ordered and our food came my friend got a veggie burger and asked for cheese (cheese was absent from her veggie burger), my crab cakes were delicious but barely hot/warm, when I saw the next table besides us had ordered them mine didn't even compare, my salad was 1/2 the portion of there salad on the plate and the crab cakes where a bit bigger and garnished to perfection- mine not do much. I was having food envy for sure, and a little disappointed. I ordered them mine potato and leak soup it came out no garnish - no cracker or bread served either it, and the temp was Luke warm. My friend asked for a to go of the Mac n cheese with with jalapeño peppers which she had gotten there before, and they diced them up and cooked them with the meal but when they brought it to her, she had a container of mac & cheese and raw jalapeño slices in a separate container. We spoke to the waitress and she took them back to have them corrected it but then when my friend got home, it was just mac & cheese with one slice of cooked, jalapeño on top of her mac & cheese. Our waitress also informed us before the birthday girl arrived that they could only bring out a muffin with a candle. No other dessert would be provided. It would have to be that we paid for a dessert of her choice which we did she ordered the s'mores brownie and then the muffin appeared with a candle as well. Don't get me wrong. I'm was just a little disappointed at Blue door Farm stand as I had been just a month or two ago to blue door kitchen and it was excellent service was excellent. The hummingbird cake they brought my Friend for her birthday was excellent and the waitress was very attentive. Needless to say it was an off night for some at this location. We weren't even asked how our meal was, as our waitress seemed busy, hard to get her attention. Seemed short staffed as well that night. read more
