    I wanted to have a good experience because I loved all of the reviews. My sandwich took 15 minutes and I was the only person in there. I actually had to tell the employee I was trying to catch a plane and had to go. Extremely underwhelming. Also my sandwich was $13!

    Nice sit down spot. Best breakfast I've had all week, and for the entirety of our vacation. Nice quiet spot at 9am on a Wednesday. Good variety.

    My husband and I came from South Dakota and this was one of our "must try" places for our first visit to Chicago. It did not disappoint. Without a doubt the best grilled cheese we've ever had. Love how everything is locally sourced. Great food and great service. Very impressed!!! Will be back the next time we visit Chicago.
