AnthonySeptember 12, 2012Try the Wagyu Tartare - Unbelievable. Mouth-gasmic. Smoked Uni, Summer Apples, Shitake. Can't say love enough. A must have.
AlisonAugust 16, 2010Try the bread to start. The Cauliflower was a great savory veggie option! The crisp with pork belly, and the scallops, were great seafood selections. And the goat pizza was good too..
Danielle McNallyJune 7, 2012Skip wine and go for the hand-crafted cocktails - I loved the Double Standard and Agave Fleur. The menu is like a taste-bud playground.
karenNovember 26, 2012Unusual but delicious pairings: pickled peppers + roasted cauliflower / brown butter + goat belly / pumpkin brandade + scallops. Wish I could've tried more!
Jessica LJanuary 9, 2016Chickpea fritters, scallops, duck tongue, pig face, & confit goat belly! Squash cake also!!
JesseOctober 13, 2013Toss up between the green beans and the broccoli. Bolder smoke flavors for broccoli and subtle (onion) crack addicting flavors of the Green beans.
Gautam BahadurOctober 3, 2013Favorite restaurant in Chicago hands down. Three Floyd's seasonal draft is always solid - must get the pig face, chick peas, and green beans doe
_February 17, 2015Order the duck tongue and brioche before they run out! You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu!
- John MichaelFebruary 5, 2015The cauliflower is pretty fucking amazing. So is the short rib. Pairs well with a lot of drinks.
Dora TungNovember 1, 2014Everything here is great. I loved the Pig's Face. Must call early to make reservations
- Shanon HounshellMarch 13, 2011Delicious, fall off the bone tender pork shank. Green beans unique in a superior way with some sort of nutty/citrus brown sauce. Pistachio cake/three sisters cornmeal crust for dessert="party
Jennifer StraubDecember 22, 2011Face your fears and order something daring. I highly recommend the pig face! Their dishes can be somewhat salty, so be sure to stay hydrated with water.
CJ ToscanoApril 28, 2013Girl and the Goat is a 3 month waiting list for a table but they have 5 independent unisex bathrooms so you can poop in bliss.
Lauren JSeptember 3, 2015The halibut and the pork are out of control. Order two of each and skip the wood fired oysters.
melissa rOctober 24, 2013Get as much as you can! Goat empanadas, scallops, shrimp, octopus and pig face. All are a must!
Great Food in a great space. Bring friends so it's easier to share
Everything tastes amazing! Confit Pork Belly and Pork Shank never disappoint .
Sarah PrimusOctober 19, 2012Wow! The scallops are amazing and so is the white fish! Actually...everything is good, you can't go wrong!
GenoFebruary 18, 2014You can BYOB for a $25 corkage fee, max two bottles of wine. Most wines on the menu are $50 and up.
Aaron RanfJuly 17, 2012Waiting for a table? Go with the Double Standard cocktail. Its super crispy and lemony. Perfect for a sweaty summer night!
Ekaterina RSeptember 11, 2013Food was inventive and tasty but the place does tend to take itself a tad too seriously. I got bored and left before getting desert. Spoiler alert - apple pie at next door Haymarket is to-die-for.
Cary BlackOctober 22, 2014Small dishes to pass, a little goes a long way. Look past the name, but the "Pig Face" is the best dish on the menu.
Eylul SavasFebruary 19, 2014Don't die before trying bittersweet chocolate cake with shiitake caramel gelato. That's all I can say. You'll need a cigarette after.
Jack VanOverloopJanuary 5, 2020Everything we ate was fantastic. Especially loved the pig face and the green beans
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014
Christina C.December 29, 2012Stand by bar/lounge to stalk customers to get a seat without reservations. It's every man for themselves. Fries, pig cheeks, scallop & shishito peppers are good but on the salty side. Goat was ok.
Lisa WangAugust 6, 2013Roasted cauliflower is PHENOMENAL and everything else I tried (octopus, beet salad, bread, pig face, scallops)
Anna de JesusSeptember 13, 2014Miso butterscotch boudin is out of this world. Nothing like it. Must have!
Dani SchmidtJuly 12, 2014OMG yummy! The La Paloma tequila cocktail was fantastic with the goat! Highly recommend the cauliflower as a side!
Scott KleinbergDecember 17, 2015It's no wonder why reservations are so scarce. If you can get one -- even if it's 4:30 -- grab it.
Crain's Chicago BusinessAugust 20, 2010Think you'll never get a reservation at Girl and the Goat before, say, the state balances its budget? Take the after-work bar and lounge route instead for a chance to try “Top Chef” winner Stephanie I Read more
Jake CohenJuly 14, 2015Pig face. Octopus. Veggies. Everything was really good. Make your reservation now.
Benjamin DoyleMarch 25, 2015offbeat food options. I had pig face - does not disappoint. think of tender fatty pork.
emily tritabaughApril 8, 2013Trust the servers. They know their stuff. Ask for the barrel-aged cocktail list. Get the scallops.
Lizzy H.February 19, 2014Unbelievable food and service. Perfection!!! Ask for Gary as a server -- he's the best.
Melissa BengeAugust 30, 2012Ask for Natalie. Hands down cutest server I've ever had in Chicago. Oh and she's a great server too.
Augie AugustynekDecember 23, 2019Wood Fired Whole Branzino, braised pork shank, the mussels, the escargot.
Jeff FrancisAugust 21, 2011Go with at least four people, order a couple of things each and show. Everything is unbelievable. Don't get scared off by unusual cuts and such.
Vickie WagenaarJanuary 17, 2011V: chickpea fritters and squash ravioli were outstanding - S: scallops, mmm - M: ham frites (fried in duck fat with beer and cheese dipping sauce)
Items on the menu shift often (pizza changes every few weeks). Sugo was incredible, Brussel Sprouts were great too.
KarenJune 24, 2011You can't go wrong with the grilled pork ribs...and if it's on the menu get the confit goat belly. You'll thank me later!
Brooke ErinApril 23, 2011Brennan is dreamy. The Sugo is awesome. Sorbet is maybe best dessert Ever. Try the green beans. Pass on the ham frites. We'll be back.
