Matthew Malec: Bang Bang is deservedly eponymized after its pies, but the free WiFi and bottomless iced coffee on tap makes it one of the best places in Logan Square for kicking back and getting some work done.
Chicagoist: Their biscuits are simply perfection. Served warm these massive biscuits have a fluffy yet sturdy inside and the perfect slight tang of buttermilk. Read more.
Thrillist: The thick-sliced applewood-smoked bacon biscuit comes with collard greens and a side of house-made Fresno chili hot sauce that they’ve appropriately dubbed Pao Pao Sauce. Read more.
