While visiting Chicago, we stopped by Ann Sather's to pick up some cinnamon rolls to go. The…read morerestaurant was packed, which seemed like a good sign, and after looking over the menu, it's easy to see why it's such a popular spot. The cinnamon rolls definitely lived up to their reputation. They were soft, fresh, and generously topped with icing, making for a delicious treat. After seeing all of the other dishes being served, we'd love to come back for a full meal on a future visit. If you're in Chicago, Ann Sather's cinnamon rolls are absolutely worth trying, whether you dine in or grab them to go.

For breakfast the food was fine I think based off other pictures you can tell you get what you pay for nothing 5 star worthy but for a hungover breakfast it did the trick. We came with a large group and they messed up one of our orders so that's why I knocked one star off of service. They were able to remake the order they messed up but still annoying to wait. I knocked off another star just because it wasn't the most aesthetically please restaurant.

First and foremost, the food is delicious and affordable. Win-win! My husband and I love everything on the menu, but we definitely have our favorites. My husband loves the buffalo chicken wrap and I love the caramelized onion and bacon quiche. Yum! He likes the side of chips and I love the side salad. The salad is the perfect sweet and savory combo with greens, apples, and vinaigrette. We love the staff! They are so friendly, helpful, and welcoming! We are so grateful for their kindness and professionalism! Prices are great, the space is delightful, and everything is clean! Plus, if you need items to go, they have all your needs! We like to get a full quiche to slice into pieces and put in the freezer for lunches at work throughout the week. We also like to get the pies for impressive items to bring to a dinner or gathering with friends. We love First Slice and how it is a staple of our Andersonville/Edgewater community! If you've never been, we recommend you stop by next chance you get !

Had to add my protein so added chicken. I am a big fan of all of the things that came in this sandwich so it was an easy choice for me. Great sandwich indeed. The creamy goat cheese blended everything so well together and the crispy cauliflower added a delightfully refreshing crunch. And can't forget to mention that poached pear...genius addition to add a little sweetness without over saucing and taking away from the healthiness of a veggie sandwich lol. And how can't I not get a slice of pie from a place with the word Pie In the name? Went with a slice of Michigan Sour Cherry and...WOW. PERFECT crust married to the perfect filling. I'm so satisfied right now (I literally am writing this post meal) Such a small, simple and charming sit down cafe. My type of joint. Just what the doctor ordered for lunch.

As much as I wanted to love Svea, I neither feel a call to return nor would I necessarily recommend…read moreit. It's a matter of everything being no better than "just fine," with prices out of sync with the quality of the overall experience. I ordered the Svea special and a coffee. The Svea Special includes only two crêpes and a little bit of lingonberries. The crêpes themselves were fine, completely unremarkable with nothing to write home about or complain about. Ditto for the lingonberries, not mind-blowing, but also not bad. The coffee was also just fine, run-of-the-mill diner brew, shall we say. When it comes to the prices, the two crêpes with coffee and taxes cost just over $15. I understand that the price of pretty much everything has gone up, however, given what was on the table in front of me, I am not convinced the value proposition was there. Next, in terms of the service, it was also fine. Food came out quickly enough, and the order was taken in due course. To be fair, there was one other small group in the restaurant, and they walked in after my order had been placed. As for the vibe, I did like the use of blue and yellow, as well as the various Sweden-related decor, however, given the dim, harsh lighting, the vibe was less than inviting. Final verdict: Svea makes an OK product, in an OK spot, with OK service. However, everything combined at the prices they charge does not lead to an experience I care to repeat.

They have options like pepper steak, classic mince (ground beef), chicken and mushroom and more. The chicken and mushroom is the tastiest. It's well seasoned and has good texture. The steak and mince pies are overly peppery and don't have a ton of flavor. The ground meat is smooth and not like typical ground beef which may turn some people off. The dough is crispy and well cooked. I haven't tried the sides. Prices are a bit high ($9.95 for a single palm-sized pie) for what you get but they're in Chicago and need to cover overhead. They offer frozen pies, if you prefer cooking at home. There's some meter parking and parking garages near by. This is a good place to check out but not one that will draw you back due to the lack of flavor.

I've always wanted to try Australian pies since I saw them being made on a show, so I was eager to…read moretry this place when I saw it. The store is pretty small, with only two bar stool seats inside and an option to order from the outside window. Being able to order from the outside makes this a great option for a grab and go meal. What I ordered was the beef stew and Tikka masala. Unfortunately, what I got was the beef mince pie instead of the beef stew. This was not a total loss for me since I quite enjoyed the chicken tikka flavor, with the exception of it being light with the flavor. The mince I did not enjoy, though, and I could not get behind meat mince. I know I would have preferred the beef stew since I would have liked the chunks of beef with potato. I will give plenty of credit to the flake pie crust surrounding the pie, however. That made the pies more enjoyable to try. I would have given an extra star if I had gotten the correct pie, most likely, but regardless, I will probably return if I am in the area to try the other flavors. I recommend giving this place a try, but ensure you get the correct pie to avoid being a bit disappointed.

Knock me over with a feather! What I thought of myself as a…read moreworldly guy, who has eaten just about everything, had my first, ever "Döner" sandwich ever! What's a "Döner" you ask? It's an incredibly popular Turkish sandwich, loved and adored in the city of Berlin, Germany of all places. Our son, visiting us here in Chicago (from New York) was taunting the virtues of this rather large and tasty sandwich and of course, the city of Chicago has a restaurant making this; just right up the street. Döner 97 on Clark Street adjacent to Lincoln Park is serving up this delicious, sloppy (in a good way) sandwich with all of the fixings. I had their Combination Döner Sandwich a combination of both beef / lamb and chicken kebab sandwich with tender, seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and flavorful sauces in warm flatbread. I really liked it. We also bought a Chicken Döner Sandwich with delicious chicken döner kebab sandwich: tender, seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, and flavorful sauces in warm flatbread. Also very good. These Döner sandwiches are huge like a massive Mexican burrito, messy like a sloppy Joe sandwich, but fun like French Fondue. Döner 97 was a first for me and I was pleasantly surprised!

It's more fast food than dining room, even though there are tables and chairs, if you prefer. The döner sandwiches are something special. It's clear they use fresh ingredients and put a little tlc in every one they prepare. If you're into baked potato check out the build your own Kumpir. Butter drenched potato with your choice of veggies and proteins added. A meal in itself! I sampled and loved their Red Lentil soup and Bulgar dishes. The big winner this night was the Ćevapi sausages in their special flatbread. Pro Tip: consider splitting something. The portion size is impressive. If you like leftovers, ignore my tip and get two completely different dishes that you can share the next day. Actually, that's two tips in one. So Pro Tips! The cost was fairly reasonable and the waitstaff very efficient. Cousin Mickey (his name is Michael, her's is Amelia; they DID have the nicknames before meeting each other) spent two years traveling back and forth between Germany and Turkey and he claims this fare to be very authentic. 09/25
