I enjoyed the sports bar vibe with nicer food. My favorite dish was the Wagyu burger, but the wings were a close second. They were fried perfectly and the honey habanero was drizzled over them, creating a lovely depth of flavor - especially with their homemade ranch. The Caesar salad was good, but tasted a little like it had the cheap Parmesan on it from the can. The short ribs were also tasty, but a bit on the chewier side than I would have liked. They do have a few mocktail options for $8 each (very affordable). I really enjoyed my cucumber mocktail! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Pilsen!

Our family sat comfortably in a tall booth/table hybrid. No high chair needed, but not sure if they have them available. Smithwicks was cold and delicious. Chips and salsa appetizer was enjoyable, cheese curds were amazing and we would go back for more. Our party got Buffalo wings that were huge and tasty, sliders that were homemade patties, and two orders of fish and chips. The portions, especially for fish and chips, were wonderful. We would visit again!

This is close to Tri-Taylor and the Illinois medical district so healthcare workers and other people come in and out all the time. There is seating inside and the food came out really quick!

Mimi's Craft Kitchen was probably my favorite spot that we tried while visiting Chicago. Shoutout…read moreto Patron Chris (on Instagram) for putting us on. I'm not sure if it's a hidden gem or not but I haven't seen this spot mentioned on social media a lot. It is teeny tiny so MAKE A RESERVATION before you go, you may not get seated without one. First of all that frozen peach sidecar needs to be added to every menu at every restaurant in America! It was really that good! It was sweet and strong and just so tasty. My whole table enjoyed their food and it hit even better the next day when we warmed it up for leftovers. I got roasted chicken with greens and Mac and cheese. That honey mango chutney glaze (or whatever it was) was FIRE and not to mention the meat fell right off the bone! The Mac and cheese was also fire! I tasted my home girl's salmon bites, again FIRE! Not to mention the portions were huge! My only critique would be on the greens. They weren't bad but it had an after taste to me like it was possibly cooked in beef broth, so it wasn't my favorite. Definitely add this spot to the top of your list the next time you're in Chicago!

Went to The Loyalist for the first time last night for dinner with coworkers, including my boss who…read morewas visiting Chicago for the first time. I picked it because I wanted somewhere intimate, consistently well reviewed, and with enough hype to feel like a fun Chicago pick without being too much of a scene. Overall, I liked it! The ambiance is probably my favorite part. It's dark, intimate, very clean, and cold, which was refreshing. I can also see it being a really cozy spot in the winter. Service was wonderful, and the food was good across the board. I tried the smash burger rather than the famous OG Loyalist cheeseburger because I personally prefer smash burgers. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Some umami was enjoyable. That said, I was expecting to be a little more blown away by it given the reputation. If I'm being completely honest, I'd personally choose the burgers at Leavitt Inn, Mott St, NADC, Armitage Alehouse, or Izakaya over The Loyalist. I can't quite put my finger on exactly what was missing for me. Even the bun felt like a lot compared to the rest of the burger. That said, I do recommend The Loyalist. It's a good atmosphere, the service is excellent, and it's an easy crowd-pleaser for a nice dinner. I just think the burger fell slightly short of the hype for me.
