Great food & event space - only criticism is the relatively staid beer list. Add some smaller breweries on tap & in large format bottles. Put that space to use for some breweries for rare beer nightsUpvoted 3 weeks ago
Bitches Who Brunch ManagerDecember 8, 2015Voted Best Patio: Chop ShopSurrounded by beautiful brick buildings and littered with bright yellow vintage chairs, Chop Shop truly does have a picture perfect patio to enjoy a long summertime brunch. Read more
StreetWise_CHIJune 4, 2014Great atmosphere. Great food. Great outdoor space. Awesome events venue (1st Ward). In fact, we're hosting an event here this weekend - stop by Saturday and check out all future 1st Ward events. :) Read more

CarolJune 19, 2015Everything is outstanding. Get the Parpadelle with the short rib ragu. I could seriously eat that every single day. $5 glasses on wine on Wednesdays
- Bitches Who BrunchApril 19, 2016A popular spot for it’s lively patio and awarded best patio brunch for our Best and Worst Brunches of 2015, Chop Shop should be on your list of places to brunch in the sun. Read more
Meatballs at the deli are a delicious, old family recipe. Meats @ butcher shop are high quality (often local) & a great value. Dinner menu is served upstairs & downstairs after 5pm. Try the pork chop!
AubreOctober 14, 2013Spicy Italian sub is solid. Add the mild (not spicy) peppers because the spiciness is just right. You can tell them that you want to eat your sandwich at the bar then order a beer.
Heather FolsomAugust 5, 2017The deviled eggs and burger were delish. We asked to split it and they basically gave us each full orders of fries as well. Great cocktails, rooftop, and service.
Redeye ChicagoJanuary 27, 2015Treat yourself to the indulgent lobster polenta cake eggs benedict, or dig into a portobello mushroom stuffed with housemade caprese sausage and topped with a runny egg. Read more
Chris SteeleJanuary 18, 2015The butcher board may be a starter but really it's the main event. A lovely selection of meat and cheeses that pairs very well with the cocktail menu.- EaterNovember 7, 2013It's a butcher shop. It's a restaurant. It's a bar. It's an event hall. It's all of these things, it's finally open, and it's huge.
StefanieSeptember 14, 2014In the fall, great football game watching on a huge screen. In the summer, nice outdoor patio space. The burger is exceptionally good all year round.
Jaye JalsoOctober 14, 2015I have never eaten in, I have loved their Italian sausage, chops, and the marinara is the best. If the butchers aren't busy, they are helpful.
Kevin M. McNally, CMPDecember 11, 2019Great place for food and beverages (try the whiskey) and accented with Bocce Ball. Check it out when you're in the neighborhood!
Marty DiamondAugust 21, 2014You can enjoy a deli sandwich at the bar and have a beer from their awesome selection. You won't be sorry you did!- CarolMarch 26, 2015Get the tagliatelle with the short rib ragu, it was out of this world. $5 glasses of wine on Wednesdays!
Carlos BagasanMay 6, 2018Yesterday after my sister got married at Wicker Park Lutheran Church, we had a good time having brunch right next to the el train.
Brooke Morris-ChottApril 8, 2015Superb cuts of meat at reasonable prices. Cocktails and other menu items are excellent as well.
Shonelle McgeeApril 21, 2014Was in the back of the bar in one of the bigger party rooms but if your looking for a small, quaint place to drink, this is it.
Caitlyn BattagliaApril 5, 2014The squid ink pasta (on starters menu) is amazing and definitely large enough to be a moderately sized entree
Edward HenryFebruary 28, 2016The whole menu looks delicious. Chicken burger was tasty. Great beer selection. Will definitely come back
Cole KennedyFebruary 26, 2017It's a butcher shop! No, wait, it's a bar with great burgers! I mean, no, it's a music venue! All three, you say? Okay!
Such an amazing space, but sit at the bar for dinner and you won't regret it.

Trish NesbittMay 22, 2015The crab cakes and burgers were really delicious, and this place has a great atmosphere.
John CarlsonMarch 11, 2016Food was good, but there was only 1 server for lunch, so it took some time to get our order in. The waiter was great once he got to us- Excellent, high quality burger and deli sandwiches. Beautiful outdoor patio.
They have a rooftop patio. It's a total neighborhood hidden gem.
- The gnocchi is so so but the drink menu has never left me disappointed. Try the steak sandwich and all their cocktails.
Went here on a Tuesday night and they were out of half a dozen ordinary menu items. Server said it was a "busy weekend." How often do they have fresh ingredients brought in???
ISC ChicagoMarch 24, 2016The restaurant got one of the orders wrong; although they tried, they just couldn't get the steak temperature right- Wicker Park Baci Club meets here for tournaments Monday nights!
- Yesim AkdemirNovember 26, 2014Perfect burger at dinner but terrible ay lunch, the meat was burned, online was pretty fresh!!! Like no touched at all. What a dissapointment aftera well dinner...
