    Best Carnitas in Pilsen! Call ahead to see if they still have carnitas available. Most of the time they are sold out by 4pm!

    I'm playing nice today *SERIOUSLY*…read more So my friend met the owner at a car wash and she wanted to try this place. So we come in on a Friday night at 830pm and it's DEAD. Not 1 other patron was on the joint. We're like are yall open, they say yes and say we can sit anywhere. It's built out lounge and bar style not a restaurant so beware. We opted for the bar since that's the only chair/table type area the other seats were couches with end tables so we knew we were ordering alot of items and didn't want to be slouched eating. Fast fwd the bartender is friendly and she took our drink & food orders. We ordered the baddest b*tch drink which is Hynotic & Hennessy for $22. We then ordered lamb chops, 8 Buffalo wings, steak eggrolls with steak cut fries. It took the food maybe 10/15 mins to come out. Everything was fresh & hot, the drink was tasty too. (Not $22 tasty, but tasty) Oh adding injury to insult they dont have real dine in plates, they serve the food in to go containers. WEIRD they did bring us little boat trays to share. About 30/45mins we notice the crowd trickling in. They had a birthday party coming thru. So we finished our food and asked for our bill to leave because it was getting party scene crowded. The owner was VERY friendly, he introduced himself and asked how things were. 2 things I should've deducted more stars for, TOTALLY DISGUSTING DIRTY WOMEN'S BATHROOM!!!! With all the women working here they don't see the filth? I mean I almost would've rathered pissed on myself! Smdh Then the parking! Horrible, they blocked it off potentially for the owner/club or vip people, but that left no parking and we had to cross Western which is a busy Horrible street to be crossing late at night in heels or whatever. So they need to do better there. I would go back to party, not to dine in.

    Been twice. Horrible service. First time the owner chased us outside. Tried again and noppppeeeeeeeeread more

Nothing standout, but I appreciated that our server removed the drink I didn't like from the bill. 8/10. The Peach-stacio (8.7/10) was my favorite drink. Sweet with nice pistachio foam, and strong without tasting overly boozy. The Vander Mill Totally Toasted Cider (8.5/10) was also easy to drink. Something Not Too Sweet (4/10) had way too much alcohol flavor, and Peat in Paradise (0/10) was honestly undrinkable. It tasted medicinal and spicy, but thankfully they took it off the bill. The French Onion Soup (7/10) had rich onion flavor, lots of cheese, and a fun pâte à choux topping. Comforting. The Loyalist OG Cheeseburger (8/10) was a really solid classic burger. The homemade pickles and grilled onions were great, and the patty was juicy. The sauce wasn't overpowering and lighter in flavor. I can see why it's one of Chicago's most popular burgers. The Corn Carbonara (7.5/10) was creamy with great crunch from the corn and hazelnuts, though I wish the pasta had a little more chewiness. The Dry Aged Duck Breast (6/10) was tender, but the skin wasn't crispy. The sweet corn and orange sauce were the best parts of the dish. The Pavlova (5/10) wasn't for me. The pineapple sauce was too sweet, and i didn't like the vegetable flavor. Overall, a little disappointed in the cocktail program but maybe I just ordered wrong. It's worth coming for the burger though.

    Man what a burger haha I wish I would have gotten the Double Cheeseburger but I wasn't feeling too…read morebig back... I did order the Burger (comes with fries, definitely brownie points) and the Deluxe Fries. The way they described the Deluxe Fries were a burger without the bun on top of fries, now how delicious does that sound. The was not mean nor nice, just mid and they did their job. Nothing out of this world. I look forward to showing friends and family this place when they visit! The only thing that would have made this place flawless was outstanding service, which is pretty tough to do when it's only carry out/a walk through joint. Thank you Craft Burger, see you soon!
