Well, unfortunately I couldn't really eat anything. I'm nondairy. I can't eat nightshade vegetables…read moreincluding red bell peppers which are all over the menu here. And I don't eat meats that are made with nitrates. So that knocks out the whole sandwich menu. Oh and I just don't like mushrooms. It's not their problem! Believe me, I know I'm a hot mess. You can't just order a sandwich with chicken and arugula because everything is pre-made and the chicken diced up and is already mixed with red bell peppers, more like a chicken salad sandwich, rather than just a piece of chicken breast waiting for some bread and accoutrements which is what I expected after reading the menu on my phone the day before choosing it for a visit. So it's impossible to get a custom sandwich where you pick and choose what's on it. But they were extremely nice answering all my questions about the food. I could maybe get some focaccia and a side of broccoli if I was desperate and nothing else was open. But I was in no rush and just went home and made something for myself. But my partner really enjoyed it so I'm glad we stopped by to check it out. It's definitely unique and convenient if you don't have so many food allergies like I do. I had already had my coffee fix for the day so I neglected to ask if they have nondairy milk options. There's limited seating inside but lots outside if the weather's nice! Cute little place.

I've walked past Sfera Sicilian Street Food so many times and I finally had a chance to stop in…read more When you first arrive: The inside of the restaurant is smaller so they can only accommodate a smaller number of parties. In the warmer months they offer outdoor seating so it expands the number of people that can dine-in. The restaurant is colorful and refreshing. It gives Italy in the Summer, it makes you want to wear a sundress and sip fresh lemonade. Food: During my visit I ordered the Arancini Porcini which a fried Risotto ball filled different ingredients. It came with two balls which is perfect because it made it easy to share. I also ordered a slice of the Sfincione Chicago Style pizza which is a Sicilian style pizza with Italian sausage, green peppers and mushrooms. You can tell they invest in the quality of their food because everything tasted fresh. Overall: I highly recommend visiting Sfera Sicilian Street Food at least once. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very cute. They don't have a lot of indoor seating so be prepared to wait for a table if you plan to dine-in but the neighborhood invested in a lot of community benches if you opt for a to-go order.

Holy moly this rad hash and corn berry cookie are incredible. The flavors are perfect. I love to…read morecook and often find myself wanting to make little tweaks to what I'm eating on the rare occasion that I go to a restaurant. From the first bite everything was perfect. Incredible balance of flavors. The crisp finely shredded hash blanketed in quick scrambled eggs and dressed to perfection with chili crisp and slaw made me exclaim aloud with pleasure from the first bite. The cookie has a beautiful variety of textures- crunchy edges with a perfectly restrained sprinkling of coarse sugar on top, a soft center and a lightly browned bottom. Just the right amount of sweetness to bring out but not overpower the corn and berry flavors. The person waiting on me was warm and patient and helped me analyze the hot sauces, which I ended up not needing because my dish was so perfectly executed. This place is a work of art. Please come here. It is so clear that a huge amount of work, vision and love have gone into making this place possible. They truly deserve your business. Oh and for the level of delicious the prices are great. I am frugal with the money I spend food but I would have been racked with guilt to give them a penny less than what they charged.

Finally stopped in to S&B Kitchen (after thinking to try it forever) for brunch around 2:00 p.m. on…read moreSunday. I love the cozy neighborhood vibe and ambiance, unique food choices, tasty cocktails, and fresh baked goods. I had a delicious (and strong) Irish coffee with a fantastic kale and lemon feta quiche (omg), and my beau enjoyed a wonderfully tangy Bloody Mary with a fresh plate of bagel and lox (and excellent spicy "Chi-kraut"). I was impressed by the portion size, fresh flavors, and food / drink presentation. Love that it has an inside and a patio for warmer weather. Truly a neighborhood gem. So glad I came and plan to come again in the future for more unique flavors. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a good classic deli sandwich on the north side this is definitely the place to stop. The only downside is the price/portions. I feel like the prices are high because the portions are so big (which is fair), but if they offered half portions for half the price I feel like I would be more inclined to go there because I can't really finish any of those sandwiches myself and they're all around $20. The service is great though and the inside is interesting and sort of eclectic. The seating area isn't anything special but it's a place to eat your food

I doubt anyone leaves feeling less jolly than they did going in. On this visit, I started with the After Word to drink. It was light-bodied, not at all too sweet, and possibly went down *too* easily. We split the short rib poutine and I can't think of a better dish to get you through the winter. The meat absolutely melted in the mouth and the cheese was abundant and rich. Would order again in a heartbeat! We also tried the alligator bites as a seasonal special. I'd not had alligator before, but they were super crispy and spicy with an addictive gochujang sauce. It really does taste like chicken. If you've ever wanted to try alligator, this is the place to do it. For the main event, I opted for the red beans and rice hand pie. It came with a light, citrus salad and delicious hand cut fries with 3 dipping sauces, which were very fun to try. I loved the buttery pie crust but the filling tasty very tomato forward- I was missing the heat of a traditional red beans & rice and wished there was more seasoning. Still good. As usual, the portions were generous for the price and we left with leftovers. Absolutely recommend making the trek over here to give B&B a try, and will be back soon!

Then I forget for a few months, find another $20, end up stumbling across this place again and going "why don't I come here more?" This has happened three times. The most important part though- it's real tasty. Always. I'd say all of it, but I'm still working my way through the menu, but the burgers and Mac never let me down. The servers are always really laid back, and nothing feels rushed. I think it's part of the charm; somewhere to go and relax and take your time to enjoy the vibe. And you know what would help the vibe even more? Including the bread pudding on the menu full time. Keeping that bad boy stocked for me at all times. (This time was my first time seeing it on the specials menu and listen, it WAS special. So special that you should upgrade it to mainstay is all.)
