Their brunch is shockingly good. Fried chicken and beer pairings, decked out bloody maries and a pretty solid burger. I would go back, but I think my food baby is still hanging out from last weekend..

This downtown restaurant marries chic sophistication with approachable, down-to-earth charm. Try the house-made minimuffins with locally sourced fruit jams for breakfast. Read more

*The* place to take clients if you work for a Publicis agency and want an impressive lunch. Attentive service, wonderful burgers, sexy, slick decor, and pimento cheese on everything.

Love this place!! One of my favorite spots for lunch during the work week. You HAVE to try the truffle Mac & Cheese - it is amazing! Also love the ham & cheese sandwich with the tomato soup!

Pretty legit breakfast. Some guests at the hotel get a $15 credit for breakfast. This gets you eggs, meat, potatoes, and toast. Not bad.
Jenn ZinkhonAugust 12, 2015
Slow service, non-updated menu. Gave us the wrong beer and insisted it was right and didn't even ask if we wanted something different. Up side: the food is delicious and they have a great beer list.

Release your kids from the chains of boring food and nudge them toward the buffalo tenders instead—they’re marinated in cumin, coriander and other spices; then fried and served with blue-cheese sauce. Read more

We recommend the SPE-certified Little Gem Salad. The cranberry yogurt dressing is incredible! Read more

Great duck tacos. There's two entrances, one without a front desk. Not much outdoor seating so plan indoors for more ambiance and also a fooseball table.
Michael CDecember 11, 2015
Charcuterie and Cheese plate, Everything Pretzel, bone in pork and great local craft beers.
Marcie D.October 24, 2012
I'm sooo disappointed...they completely changed the menu! It's only one page 2-sided with maybe 12 options...I was soo lookin forward to that phenomenal Mac n Cheese!!
CarolNovember 9, 2014
The burger is good, but very pricey! The cocktails were strong and the music was great. A very small menu though, with limited selections.
Caitlin SalzbergSeptember 2, 2013
Fantastic place! Incredible food, interesting drinks and great service!!

Great roasted chicken, with barley and peas they make it like a healthy chicken fried rice.

They have the best burger! Get the blue cheese on it- worth the $14!
DebbieMay 21, 2013
We all enjoyed our food and thought our service was good especial for a table of 12.

The vibe in this place works well with my personality. Nice chill spot.

Inflated Loop prices for the same gastropub fare you can find done better on the north and west side. That said, the food and drinks weren't terrible and there's not much else like it downtown.
J Monique CollierAugust 25, 2013
Have the vanilla bean cream cheese cinnamon bun. It's amazeballs especially when warm
SelenaJanuary 23, 2015
Three words: Fried Chicken Sunday. You're welcome.
Ed WygnalJuly 13, 2014
The music almost made me fall asleep in my split pea soup. Small menu but they have founders and three Floyd's.

All the soups are good, especially if you add a poached egg.
WillDecember 13, 2013
The butternut squash soup is worth the trip alone. Really good place.

Good free breakfast if you are Hilton Honors Diamond status
Don MoukYDecember 21, 2012
Nice ambiance and setup / music. Try the steak... It's a winner!
Randal CooperOctober 1, 2016
Asking for tomato on the burger resulted in a $4 surcharge.
Jeffrey ZeldmanNovember 28, 2014
Deviled eggs to die for.
Michael TumbaliJuly 22, 2013
The B8 Burger and Banana Blueberry Cake. Do it!
KristinJuly 26, 2011
The turkey panini is enough for two! The hangover cocktail is delicious, but sip it slowly!
Chase TurnerAugust 19, 2011
The mac and cheese is good, but the full size is too rich for lunch, get the small and a salad or app.
Shannon JeropkeDecember 10, 2019
Kinda pricey but the food is very good!

Sit towards front of trains that run through here, less crowded.
KristaJanuary 25, 2012
Sadly, the lunch menu has changed. The chef seems to have changed too. Not so happy with the food now.

Jo Jo's are a great thing to share.
Carol MarrJanuary 2, 2014
Fairly slow for a not-busy early dinner. Chili was very good though
Kelsey LassApril 21, 2013
Horrible service. They brought the wrong drinks, 3 of 5 meals ordered were incorrect and they spilled food on us. Nothing done to correct their mistakes except say sorry and hope that stain comes out.
Larisa GrollemondDecember 26, 2015
Good draft beer list!
Barb-o-joyMay 26, 2012
The hipster veggie sandwich is shit. Don't order it. And the Mac n cheese has meat. Limited options for vegetarians.

Beer. Burger. Bacon. Fried egg.
Kate K.July 22, 2011
Lunch special, $15 for half-sandwich, soup or salad and a martini or craft beer!
MelissaMay 26, 2013
Great ambiance but food is meh. Not worth the price. If you have to eat here, get the sea salt fries if they're still on the menu

You've made it to the right place, now get shopping!
