    Sitting outside and enjoying this mango smoothie
    Bob C.

    Food Great Service Great Price Great Always a great time. Today I had red velvet pancakes and chicken sausage and washed it down with a mango smoothie Wow a must stop if you're in the area

    Quick bite, great service, great food. We would absolutely recommend trying the breakfast tacos and the frutos rojos waffle (specials menu). The waffle was soft and had a great flavor. Luis was a fantastic server and had a great attitude!

    Extreme French Toast
    Steph W.

    Our server was top notch, I feel bad for forgetting her name but she was consistently checking on us without being overboard. Kept our bottomless mimosas coming and refilling coffees. The food was excellent. I have a hard time choosing what to eat so I was beyond happy the had a Benedict platter to try multiple options. Got the extreme French toast as well and it had fresh fruit and great sauce. We will definitely be back

    We spent 42$

    Server was so rude . She didn't give us what we asked in our to go order. When I returned she had an attitude and was pushy towards me like wanted me to leave right away after I gave them business . Server name was House S . She had short hair and was heavier set . She makes the restaurant have a bad vibe

    Mote Pillo!
    Renee P.

    Stopped by for a quick brunch on the way to Lake Geneva and was pleasantly surprised by this spot! The service was super quick and friendly and we actually split the Mote Pillo since we didn't want to load up too much before we went hiking. I've never had Mote Pillo before which is an Ecuadorian dish of hominy (big corn) with eggs and spices and it was the perfect hearty breakfast , like the ultimate comfort food. The salsa on the side was tasty and the coffee there was delicious as well. Would love to come back to try other dishes too!

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Lateef A.

    Service is pretty good and the food is interesting. I love their chilaquiles which I get often. I recently tried their version of the Chicken and Waffles. It wasn't my favorite but I appreciated their twist on it. I usually dine here a lot during the spring and summer and sit outside on the patio. There is always plenty of available parking in the area. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

    Good food that arrived quickly. We came for lunch and the portions were good. The llapingachos potato cakes were pretty yummy and very unique.

    Delicious  Mole Benedict

    They need to fix their waitlist service. They are not calling the right numbers. Not very good way to run a business.

    4.5. Uninteresting but clean dining room hides some cooking chops. Cool Ecuadorean specials hiding inside a menu full of good things.

    If you're in the Lincoln Square, and want a good breakfast, Savanna is the place. The coffee was decent. The are a lot of options.

    No good vegan options :(…read more I got the green salad and added avocado (paid extra just for 30% of an avocado) and extra dressing. Overpriced salad for sure. Also the outdoor seating was horrible. No umbrellas so we were melting under the hot sun the whole time. My friends enjoyed the fries but said the burger lacked veggies.

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

My friend and I each ordered a burger and fries for ourselves. The NADC burger ($16) was decent, but it didn't blow my mind like people have raved about. I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality. You could taste the difference of the oil these fries were made in. They were nice and crispy and very good! I could keep eating them and would rather get the fries than the burger next time. I'd probably still get a burger since I need some meat and savory.
