Amy Graff: Chicago vegan legend. Reuben gets all the love but the truffle melt really, yes, melts my heart. Seitan wings are amazing starters and the peanut butter shake is the best end to your vegan junk feast.
Danielle Marks: Black bean burger, portobella prime sandwich, and tofu stir fry were delicious!
Hathor Rabiah: My favorite go to spot when I'm in Chicago. Best vegan Reuben in the world!
Tasting Table: 'Kraut fans, take note: This market and cafe has recently started making sauerkraut in house, and it's stellar. Take a jar of the "Living Kraut" home, or try it on a Reuben with house-made pastrami. Read more.
Serious Eats: Grilled Brie Sandwich at Southport Grocery is rightfully called "a grown up version of a grilled cheese" with a layer of gooey brie, fresh spinach and a delicious mess of sauteed mushrooms.
Annie Bosslet: Try the breakfast sandwich...great blend of ingredients.

Danielle @DanielleDuncan: i love the fried calamari, garlic bread, shrimp po' boy, rock shrimp (wet), they had scallops as a special (AMAZING!)- ask for beer pairing too! My fav cocktail is #3!
Men's Health Mag: Fish Bar's Sachmo Po' Boy is the classic New Orleans Po' Boy-made rich. Enclosed in a New England lobster roll is shrimp and crawfish, crispy lettuce, sweet pickles, and roasted garlic aioli.

Garlanda Freeze-Puzio: Order the lobster deviled eggs to start followed by the yummy blackened tilapia fish sandwich! It's yummy!
Erika B: The chicken dip sandwich is AWESOME. Also, their mashed potatoes are really good too, perfect combo!
Lauren P.: Lobster deviled eggs are overrated in my book. Fried egg sandwich, Brussel sprout salad and bacon potato cakes are some of my faves. Love the mini high life bloody chasers.
