    Garlic Chicken Sammy

    The food was extremely good and the Service was extremely good as well! The restaurant is clean.

    Gyro meal for $9
    Ian C.

    Good neighborhood spot for simple, no-frills food. Went in for lunch on a Saturday and was greater by all three workers cheerfully. Ordered a gyro meal, with fries and a drink, for $9. Waited about 5-10 minutes and my order was ready. Meat was excellent...hot, lightly seasoned, and plentiful. The pita was hot and fresh and the fries were hot and well done. Place was clean and had excellent service. Would definitely recommend for a quick, tasty, lunch.

    delicious gyro & fries

    I love Chicago. (see picture) Need I say more? Didn't think so. ----------------------------- I had already drafted this review as such in my head during my wonderful lunch and settled in with New Amsterdam's first new episode of the season...yay! The latter + my delicious gyro & fries was a match made in heaven. However, Kostas made the meal even more memorable when he came over to help me on with my coat afterwards, saying, "women deserve everything" and "it is a woman's world." As someone who thinks, sometimes all day, about the status of women, it was kind of a psychic, perfect thing to say to me. Ha! Earlier, after I could not find the gyro place next to my dentist's office - it might no longer be there - I yelped highest-rated gyros in Chicago and drove all the way to Nick's on North since it was also the closest one to the Apple Store Lincoln Park. However, when I pulled in, I was shocked that Nick's was just in a strip mall + didn't look good and THEN I saw a man just sitting there in the window smoking INSIDE nonchalantly and it was closed with a paper sign posted on the door that they had a gas line issue/repair. Wtf. So I went to the next place down the list - this one - and I'm glad!

    Looks good but unfortunately didn't have much flavor

Thanks to the kindness of Moe, the GM along with a few of his crew members who changed our tire in drizzling rain. They were not deterred by the fact that our wheel key did not fit the locks on our car, they asked other Eden crew members to check their glove boxes for a wheel key.

At 4pm on a weekday it was already bustling, and this place is popular for good reason! The entire vibe and the staff are just super cool. Even the bathrooms are an experience, with heavy metal music blasting in a way that just adds to the unique charm. To drink, I tried the lucky linny and blood orange sour, which were both fantastic. I'm not typically a huge beer person, but after this visit I'm well on my way to crossing to the other side. For the appetizer, we split the cheese curds. I really liked the Korean inspired twist and the kimchi aioli served alongside. I think it could've used a little more salt and arrived warmer for a nice cheese pull, but otherwise it was enjoyable. I opted for the double cheeseburger as the main event, and it was really well done. The beef was juicy, perfectly cooked, with ample high quality cheese and caramelized onions. I think the sauce could've used an extra something, but overall it was a great burger. Great experience all around. Can't recommend highly enough and look forward to returning soon!

Got it. Boozy? Check. No complaints there. Most of their food is pretty good. Went yesterday and had their nachos which were great. Unfortunately their mac of the month sounded good before we got it. Mac and cheese with mushrooms and bacon sounds great. But when we got it, it not only didn't look good it was just weird and they really missed the boat with it. They added blue cheese to it for some reason which threw off the taste, had raw tomatoes on it which added to an already way too liquidy sauce, and the pasta was way overdone. It's a shame because their pimento mac with breadcrumb crust is great. I feel like they just tried to get too fancy with that one and also forgot that if you add piping hot sauce to done pasta, it keeps cooking it. That said, service was very good and we will come back...but we will be wary of the mac of the month.

The cost was typical for Chicago, but felt a little high as the bill was $26 with tip and I drank water.

We'd heard good things about Lula Cafe, so we decided to pop over on a Saturday morning. It was just after 9:00 but the place was already hopping. After a short wait, we were shown to bar-type seating near the back of the restaurant. It was perfect. I can never say no to a breakfast burrito, so we decided to share their Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito ("avocado, tomato, potato, cheddar, green chile soffritto, and soft scrambled eggs") and holy moly was it ever good. Every ingredient was above average and placed with care, and I was impressed by the perfectly-cooked eggs. (There was nothing bouncy about these eggs, that's for sure.) Because we're pigs, we decided to also share the Lox Toast ("house cured organic salmon, gribiche, lula seeded rye") and it too was very, very good. Finally, we each got the Fruit Cup and somehow it was also amazing. The fruits were cut really well and there wasn't a bad bite to be had. Yeah, I can see why Lula Cafe is doing so well. It's a really cool place.
