    DON'T SLEEP ON THE CABBAGE SOUP & CHEESE FRIES!
    Samantha G.

    Refer to previous review and just know they keep getting better and better at Cured & Crafted! New specials all the time! Onion rings and cheese fries cannot be missed. The cheese is not your typical processed cheese and the fries & onion rings are fried in tallow. AMAZING! Owner Mike takes great pride in his restaurant and works so hard to keep this place movin' n' groovin'. Kitchen staff is fantastic no doubt. Don't believe me...come and see for yourselves! You're welcome.

    Hot sandwiches have my heart! All the sandwiches here are served hot! Don't sleep on the Lomo Saltado and the Muffuletta! The steak on the Lomo Saltado was tender and loved the aji sauce! Also tried the chimichurri fries, loaded potato wedges, house slaw, and had to run away with a bag of Chicago style hot dog chips. The fries and wedges were magical! I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches! I love they have the small hospital like ice cubes. Owner Mike was super nice and love the neighborhood feel of this spot. Free parking lot makes it easy!

    Tried Cured & Crafted for the first time and it was excellent. I ordered the Veggies & Such on ciabatta with marinated feta, roasted eggplant, pickled red onions, labneh, arugula, ajvar, and balsamic glaze. It was one of the best vegetarian sandwiches I've had! It's fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without needing any meat. We also tried another Italian-style veggie sandwich and it was just as good. The homemade chipotle mayo on the side was a great addition, and the Woodwright salad was also delicious. The owner himself was there, very kind and welcoming, and took the time to talk with us about the place. The whole atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and you can tell they care about the food and the customer experience. If you're in Jefferson Park or nearby, I highly recommend stopping in. I'll definitely be back.

    This place is FANTASTIC and there's bugger all good stuff in Jefferson Park when it comes to lunch so this place is a GEM. First off THE FRIES which are skin on and epic and ALSO come with malt vinegar aioli. The owner should win an award for just this! Next up, the sandwiches. Tasty, fresh and delicious. The Lomo Saltado was our most recent and is beyond good! The soup I've had a few times; delicious. The slaw, also delicious. I could go on.. have had nothing that hasn't been review worthy! Service is also top notch warm local friendly awesomeness.

    Chicken bacon Ranch

    Awesome hand crafted sandwiches great lunch spot. If youre looking for elevated sandwich beyond standard deli stuff. Check them out. Image logo Saltado. And chicken bacon Ranch. Both were excellent

    One of the best Grilled cheese I've ever had!

    THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD!! The service was also so good, they checked up on us every 5 minutes! And the decor, was spectacular! There's a TV and paintings and lots of beautiful art everywhere! There is also music which gives it a really nice vibe! Overall 5 stars!

    Best sandwich I've had in a long time. Turkey Etc - turkey, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and bacon on a soft sesame seed bun. I also ordered their homemade onion rings with chipotle mayo. Delicious doesn 't begin to describe it. There are a lot of items to choose from. It may take me a while, but I can see myself eating one of everything their menu has to offer.

    Steven P.

    Amazing food and service. I placed an online order and everything was ready very timely and everything looked exactly like their pictures. I can't wait to try the entire menu.!!!

    Cubano sandwich with onion rings with a Side of Chipotle Mayo
    Barbara G.

    Fresh crafted excellence. From the moment you walk in you can feel the love for the Midwest from the Chicago and Great Lakes potato chips to the Midwest map art . The food is definitely created for the love of a great sandwich. The onion rings are light and fluffy battered . There's a hardcore foodie leading the way to a great sandwich / salad shop . Whether you want to go with traditional sandwich or go outside your comfort zone and try something different. You definitely will not be disappointed. The soups of the day are homemade and tasty . It's a cashless establishment so bring your credit card/ debit card . You will feel like you're over at your favorite foodie friends house !

    Chopped cheese sandwich

    Food, service and ambiance...yea they have it all. I was working in the area and stopped in for a sandwich. I saw they had chopped cheese IYKYK!! This was one of the best I have had for sure! I tried the cheese sticks too. The owner said they were new and trying them out and he asked for feedback. I was honest. Told him the chopped cheese was AWESOME but cheese sticks a little bland. The owner was literally one of the nicest guys I've met. He brought out his home made cheese curds with the green chili ranch Ohhh man those things smacked ! So much flavor Wish this place was closer to my house ! Highly recommend

    Chimmichuri Steak
    Maggie S.

    You HAVE to check this place out! Delicious food, reasonable prices and unique options, kind and helpful service. We had the Chimmichuri Steak, The Rachel, and two different orders of fries. The steak was perfectly cooked and I loved the thousand island dressing on the Rachel. I will definitely be back!

    Are any fries vegan or vegetarian? I see fried in tallow. Are the onion rings fried in tallow as well?

    Our potatoes are fried in tallow. Our onion rings, cheese curds, and mozz sticks are fried in vegetable oil.

    Looks great!! How does one see prices?

Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval. I went in with pretty ridiculous expectations considering this place has been called one of the best burger spots in the world...and somehow, the burger still delivered. That's rare. The patties were insanely juicy and perfectly cooked, with that beautiful crispy, caramelized edge you want from a great griddle burger. The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I DONT FUCKING KNOW. but I completely understand why people put Au Cheval in the conversation for best burger in America, if not the world. The hype is real. This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!
