"THE Pot pie! This is the ultimate comfort food. Perfect for a rainy Chicago evening. The roasted beets are one of several creative sides to choose from. Whimsical take on a diner atmosphere. The Lucky Platter is worth going out of your way for!"

"Blind faith is open in the indoor and outdoor areas and ready for business. My mom and I came for lunch and sat outside. She was very happy with food, service and atmosphere. The restaurant makes every right measure for COVID 19. Unfortunately, it was my first time in a restaurant for almost 5 months, so I had a lot of anxiety and was concerned about glasses, cutlery and fresh BUT staff were understanding. While the food is great, I would return because the manager was so incredibly friendly. In these times of COVID 19 it is really nice to see someone who really cares about their community and restaurant."

"Found this place by accident. Was heading for Sunday brunch at Tommy Nevin’s, as we hadn’t been in nearly a decade, only to find out it had closed down. Walking back to the car and passed this place. Nondescript on the outside but went in anyway. The entire staff are very friendly and welcoming. Family friendly. The food we had was delicious! I had the crab cakes (the best I’ve had outside of San Francisco) and my wife had the fresh smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and bagel. We will definitely be heading back and will bring friends the next time!"

"A very decent restaurant! Although no the best Korean place I've been at, it definitely was good as of itself. Their serving portions are very sizable one of these dishes could be enough to serve 2 people! Their Kimchi pancakes are a must get! they taste amazing. Dolsot Bibimbaps are huge but an amazing eat as well. I had the omelette rice, which was a huge omelette with a side sauce capping Korean fried rice. It was an amazing meal, but too big so it became repetitive 3/4 of the way through. Nonetheless, this Korean spot is great for a casual eat!"

"Went there for the first time with my family from out of town. We all ordered different things and every dish was delicious! I had the breakfast burrito and would recommend the food and the restaurant."

"The service i received from entering the establishment was very courteous and professional. It's rare to have workers at fast food joints who actually like their job enough to be so positive. The people here are patient, polite, friendly... Just a joy. Every time I go they never fail to amaze me. Seriously. Never had a messed up order, And I loved the whopper and onion rings. The whopper is so tasty and delicious, the onion rings served hot and crispy, you taste the onions on it. The quality of food is so good. It was top notch customer service I received. Would definitely recommend burger king.."

"My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite on a rainy Saturday. The service was really friendly. There is a nice patio but of course we couldn't use it because it was raining inside has nice booth seating. I had the veggie quesadillas which were an appetizer but they were great for a lunch. They were really good. Crisp tortillas loaded with grilled veggies and cheese. My companion had the nachos which, unfortunately fell short of the mark. Basically they were chips with cheese. It's like to go back and sample some of the other offerings before I judge them soley on those nachos."

"We always have a super nice time there! The baristas make awsome drinks and they have vegetarian options on the food. Fast, effective and kind service! You bring drinks to your table yourself but they serve the food and buss your plates super fast. Whatever food we ordered we never regret our choice. Yesterday we had the avocado wrap and the shroom omellete. Both super delicious!"

"Huge fan of Tapas restaurants, Spanish food and style of small shareable dishes. Great interior design! Ordered bunch of different dishes, potatoes were good just needed some sauce on the top. Bacon wrapped dates is something you will like when you try, it's outstanding! Goat cheese in tomato sauce is always the most favourite dish on the table, so complex and great combination with toasted bread. Octopus was fresh and cooked god, but calamari we didn't care, chewy a bit and sauce wasn't our taste. But all in all it's great experience and everyone should try Tapas! Great journey from Evanston to Barcelona!"

"Smylie Brothers Brewing Company was really cool!! I enjoyed the food, beer, ambience, and good service! Ordered the cheeseburger with a side of Mac and cheese and my friend got the Pulled pork sandwich with fries. The BBQ sauces on the side were great! We loved our food!!! Some of my favorite beers I tried were the Brett Pulver (a Golden Ale fermented in red wine barrels! It is like a Cabernet beer! If you like sours..You will love! , the Farmhouse was delicious(light tasting farmhouse ale , the bock was great(This baby took me to Munich, Oktoberfest!! , the Wolcott IPA was my friend’s favorite( If you like hops!! This is your pick at Smylie! , 2019 Belgian Strong was tasty(Tastes like a tripel! This is a hard hitter! . They were all good beers here! Got some take out beers to go also. Got a 4 pack of the purple line and the farmhouse. The purple line was a fruity treat!"

"I probably went here once a week for a couple of years when in school. The Wreck is just an amazing hot sandwich that I can probably eat everyday for a month. The great thing about Potbelly is that the quality and taste are the same everywhere—I’ve never had a bad Wreck before and all tasted the same! Incredible quality assurance!"

"I can honestly say That I ate indoors there once and that was the First and Last time I will ever make that mistake The burrito I ordered fell apart after I got it Like I couldn't even take a bite and the whole thing busted and spilled out in my lap I mean it looked great when wrapped in the tortilla Would have looked better and tasted good. Had I been able to bite into it prior to the damn thing breaking because of poor quality, in which also I wasn't intending on wearing the stuff on my lap due to that happening However I decided to give that establishment one more chance I had this burrito bowl with Carnitas in it from there for take out Which is supposedly deep fried pork I could definitely tell it wasn't made correctly I got kind of sick honestly I couldn't tell what was wrong but it was **** as heck the meat I am referring too Was wondering if hand washing and proper sanitation Had been practiced Obviously not I can't eat there anymore And I love Mexican Food I can not risk getting some sort of food borne cross contamination in the event that something goes wrong out of someone's carelessness when deciding not to follow proper sanitation protocols"

"very bad customer service. hours are listed on the door and online. the place should be open at 11 o'clock, was there at 11:05. when I tried to open the door, she was locked and a hired came out and said they were not completely open. I had no problem waiting with that, because it was only 5 minutes after they were open. when I waited, I could see her cleansing and “order” but she was on the phone all the time. when it was 11:30 a.m., the worker came out and said: wait for cake or ice? when I said ice, she reacted well that we didn't do that at the moment. there was no excuse for the inconvenience. when she expected from me and another customer, she said that what happened when they were short workers, and if the closing shift did not do what they had to do. very bad customer service at a place where people should be friendly as many children go in and out."

"Awesome, roomy patio. Excellent cocktails and decent beer selection. Food menu was small but tasted delicious. We tried the burrata with pesto and nachos to share as appetizers, and had the tuna poke bowl and burger which were both excellent! I would definitely order these dishes again! Only suggestions would be: expand the food menu (or let patio guests order from the other two restaurants downstairs). Also we didn't have access to the lawn games area because there was a party there, so it would've been nice to have been able to play bags or giant jenga while we waited for our table to be ready."

"If you’re looking for delicious and original Midwestern cuisine, this is the place! Farmhouse works with local farmers and growers to bring the freshest local produce, meats and dairy to each dish. As you peruse the menu, you’ll notice the food source is listed next to the dish, which is nice. We decided to share several of the dishes, which was a wise choice as many of the selections sounded too delicious to pass up! Dishes included the Farmhouse salad, hummus with lamb, chicken thighs, baked mac-n-cheese, and the house made pickled jar. Although the portions were generous enough to share among the three of us, we left room to enjoy the maple poached apple bread pudding and ice cream. All was delicious! The Farmhouse also offers a wide selection of crafted beers and they make their own hard cider. The wait staff are friendly and service is excellent. The menu often changes based on available ingredients so returns trips are suggested! Highly recommend a visit."

"The first time I came here, I was alone and starving. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and fell in love. I live far away, so I knew I may not come back for a while, so I ordered a plate of gyoza to go. I signed up for sitting around for another 10-15 minutes, so I was really surprised when the waiter came by with a Mochi ice cream and said 'I 'm sorry for the wait, here 's some ice cream for your troubles! ' I found it so nice because I ordered the to go app knowing I would be waiting a bit but they acted like they were doing me a disservice for cooking the food! They are some really nice people over at TTS and I plan to go again soon!"
