I ordered a burger with fries. Both items were on the saltier side. They have a big menu soI would possibly give it a try for breakfast or lunch.

This is my third time at Gretel and the food was even better than I remembered it! We came around…read more5pm on a Sunday and there was only about a 10 minute wait. They sat us downstairs. I had only sat upstairs at the bar and outside, so I was happy we were able to see the downstairs. It's very intimate down there with only a few tables, while the upstairs is a lot more of a lively bar atmosphere. Service was good and fast. They are known for their burger but I am not a huge burger fan. Their other food is amazing though! Even my boyfriend who loves burgers agreed that the chicken sandwich was one of the best and maybe even better than the burger. Definitely get the mac & cheese, chicken sandwich, and french onion soup. The french onion soup was super cheesy and the mac & cheese was so creamy and perfect. Typically I don't like bacon in mac & cheese, but I love that they don't overdo it here where it overpowers the entire dish. It was only some tiny pieces of bacon just for the flavor.

Came for the burger, but stayed for the drinks. Maybe I chose a bad night, but I thought the burger…read morewas disappointing based on its hype and Gretel's reputation. Hands down, the saltiest burger I ever had in Chicago. At least, they were generous with the fries. Laidback vibes and cool space, I would come back to try the other cocktails on the menu with friends.

The food here is AMAZING!!!! Everything was delicious and made fresh to order. The food came out…read morehott!! We did the great tasting experience where you get 3 entrees, drinks, wine and dessert. It was definitely worth the money. But if you share the meal experience you have to also buy an entree (fyi). The waitress was nice and patient. Even though we had a reservation it took a while to be seated when there were open tables but there were only two waitress for the restaurant. The food takes a minute to come out after being ordered (45 mins) but it was piping hot and fresh. The ambiance was nice. They were playing old school Luther so it was vibe. Bc this food was so good , I'll give it a 5 but if you go be patient. It'll be worth the wait

I was very disappointed in the taste of the center piece lobster, though. My date got something else. I don't know how, but this place made Brussels sprouts taste good for a bit. Service was great.

Went to Luella's Southern Kitchen on a whim and I'm already figuring out when I can go back. The…read moreroom has an easy hum to it. Nobody's performing, everybody's happy to be there, and the staff treated us like they were glad we showed up. Start with the sweet tea. It's the real thing. The Nashville hot chicken and waffles is the move. The heat has actual flavor behind it instead of just burn, and it builds in a way that keeps you going back for another bite. Then I tried the shrimp and grits and had a small crisis about which one I liked better. Still haven't settled it. The grits were creamy, the shrimp had real seasoning, and I cleaned the plate. Fair warning: none of this food is for anyone on a diet. That's the point. Come hungry, wear the forgiving pants, and let somebody else count things for the day.

We ordered our food and sat down to wait, and the biggest issue was one of the young employees…read moreworking around the dining area. He had curly hair, was light skinned, and appeared to be either a waiter or busser. While we were seated, he bumped into my chair at least three times and even hit me in the back of the head while trying to move around the area. He apologized each time, but after it kept happening, it became frustrating and uncomfortable.He was also spraying 409 heavily at the table right next to us while we were eating. It was so much spray that I genuinely felt like it may have gotten on my food. On top of that, he repeatedly dropped things around our table and seemed to have a difficult time maneuvering through the dining area. It honestly made me wonder if the table placement itself was part of the problem The food service was also disappointing. My meal came out first, and I had to wait quite a while for my sister's chicken biscuit. When it finally arrived, the chicken was not cooked all the way through. My pancake and bacon were both good. I just wish the overall experience had matched the quality of those items. Between being repeatedly bumped into, being hit in the head, cleaning chemicals being sprayed next to our food, and undercooked chicken, it made the experience difficult to enjoy.

I came here to try their famed chicken sandwich...and it's totally worth the hype! Sandwich came with a side of fries which should be the standard for all sandwiches in my opinion. Probably the best chicken sandwich I have had in Chicago (so far). My whole table was here to try the chicken sandwich, but I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. All I needed to know was they have a happy hour menu.

Whether it is pasta, burgers, or even a sweet treat, Hangry's got it all. It is a hidden gem in Chicago, and that is something I cherish. Service has always been very kind. Just recently, the server gave us a sample of the Pumpkin Spice Horchata before we decided on ordering it. This is super generous of them (they gave a big sample haha) and we fully appreciated their gesture. Dining area is spacious enough and we came in around 6:45PM. There was still plenty of room to dine-in or for those who are waiting for their take-out orders. The Chicken Diabla is probably one of my favorite pastas from Hangry's. It is not your ordinary alfredo, but rather an alfredo with a spicy kick and mouthwatering flavor Each time I visit Hangry's, I never fail to order an horchata slushie. My all time favorite is the Ube Horchata Slushie. It has the right amount of sweetness with a flavor that you'll never find anywhere else. Can't wait to come back here again for another comfort food craving Seasonal Flavor: Pumpkin Spice Horchata Slushie (definitely give it a try if you haven't! it's not on the menu, but you can ask for it) Favorite Drink (you must get): Ube Horchata Slushie

Their cocktails are gin-focused, and the two that we got were really tasty. The service was friendly and quick. For drinks, we ordered the Jester and Zigzag. The jester was refreshing and tasted a lot like celery. The zigzag was clarified and my favorite out of the two. For our charcuterie board, they have you choose a minimum of three (cheese or meat) for $8 each, then everything else on the board is complimentary. It came with bread, pickles, grapes, jam, mustard, and nuts. We chose the red rock (a blue cheddar cheese) and purple haze (soft goat cheese), plus the wagyu pastrami (I liked this a lot). The burger was alright to me. The fries were really good. I would come back just for the drinks because they were delicious!

Last, but definitely not least, is what they're famous for: the spicy chicken sandwich. It is absolutely amazing, and you have to order it with the fries. The fries are so good that they're worth the trip on their own! It's a small place, so I'd recommend getting there early to beat the crowd. One word of caution: go easy on the hot sauce. It's seriously spicy!
