Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near West Town, Chicago

Ramsen • July 27, 2018The Aloe it’s Me drink is probably best on the menu. Spicy and sweet. Shawarma and the hummus are awesome too (shawarma is basically a sliced steak and not actually shawarma but still fantastic).

Marie L. • May 30, 2023Filet mignon cooked to perfection and excellent sides, order the steamed broccoli. Decor and music are a mood.

Lindsey S. • May 3, 2013Order the cornmeal cookie. Better yet order 6. It's one of the most amazing cookies I have ever eaten.

Michelle T. • February 3, 2013Best sushi in Chicago. Amazing bites of fresh fish in inventive preparations. I love this place. Basically order every roll on the menu, both pearl apps, and try the specials!

Whit M. • July 9, 2016Grab a drink while you wait in line, and make the tough choice between some of the best pork belly and brisket around. Don't forget the slaw.

Adam R. • July 14, 2018The best local coffee in Chicago. I love their special lattes. The rock/metal music adds to the character. But know, this is where they roast the beans, so it's takeout only.

Scott Kleinberg • December 19, 2015Try the military latte, which is a unique combo of matcha green tea, espresso and a little cocoa. It isn't sweet, but it's creamy and flavorful. As you can see, the owner truly is a latte art master.

Jennifer A. • June 24, 2015Subs! Great selection of pastas and don't miss the Bari pasta sauces in the fridge. All are like homemade -- but you don't have to make them!

Lena D. • December 2, 2019The food is authentic and amazing. We've been coming here for years and it only gets better. The service is personal and warm. We live in the NW suburbs and the drive is an hour long. Totally worth.

Don W. • July 27, 2010Hands down the best subs in the whole city. The Italian, Prosciutto, and Spicy are all staples... but if you want your mind blown, order the house speciality; The Mr. G

Elliott C. • February 5, 2018If it’s your first time, definitely try the Longanisa; if you’re coming back for seconds, branch out to the Tocino. (Enjoy the Lugaw, and make sure to choose their garlic fried rice, not hash-browns!)

Rishad T. • April 14, 2013The best thin crust pizza among the 25 I have been too in Chicago. Try pepperoni mushroom and green peppers!

Chicago Sister Cities International • August 23, 2012Pierogi lovers unite! While these polish treats are Kasia's most popular star, delicious Polish food of all varieties can be found here---just like in our sister city of Warsaw.

Steve R. • December 13, 2018Amazing new place. Great beer, great food, chill space and folks. Great place to hang.

Kurt H. • April 26, 2017Serious burger place! The best burger I ever had in Chicago. Try the classic burger and the amazing marrow bones with marmalade.

Shawn C. • June 30, 2023Two scoops and a waffle bowl. Flavors are seasonal so ask to taste as many as you like 🍨

Mike • February 26, 2017Best Italian bakery (and pizza!) in the entire city. You can't go wrong with a slice of sausage, or a biscotti, or a loaf of bread, or some cookies, or - anything!

Jeffrey K. • December 1, 2013The best buttermilk pancakes in town.

Thomas B. • August 17, 2021Hiroshima style was our favorite. Great drinks as well. Food comes out and it laid down on a center table “hot plate” of sorts. Great place for dates

Nick B. • July 12, 2019Highly recommend the duck slap noodles and the bone marrow potstickers. One of the best meals you will ever have!

Carrie g. • August 12, 2013Definitely the best coffee and coffee bar in town! I always have so much fun when I stop in. :) the staff always has fantastic recommendations!

David Z. • August 4, 2019The Loyalist burger is my favorite, above Au Cheval/Fatso's in Chi, Minetta Tavern/the Spotted Pig/Upland in NYC and NOPA/Spruce in SF

Max M. • July 16, 2016This pizza is insane. Try the pistachio pesto and the tre carne. My two favorites. Also, don't be afraid of the chili olive oil. It makes the pizza so much better. I even bought some for home.

Alec • June 21, 2011Sweet potato tots and calm outdoor seating, Alicia, one of the most beautiful women in Chicago. Love this place
