After a week of juicing and water only, I was more than ready for my first solid meal. I came…read moreacross Elephant + Vine, a vegan comfort/fast food spot at 2315 N. Lincoln Ave., and between the menu and the name (yes, the elephant caught my attention), I knew I had to check it out. There's plenty of street parking in the area, I went on a Sunday, so meters were free. The interior is bright, green, and inviting, with lots of seating and great natural light coming in from the front windows. There's also outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service is counter-style, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's fairly simple, but still fun and satisfying. I ordered an Impossible burger, tater tots, and a strawberry almond milk smoothie. My friend got fries, so I was able to try both. After over 40 days without fried food, I was especially excited for the tots and they did not disappoint. Overall, the food was good and solid across the board. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely satisfying. If you're vegan or vegetarian and craving a classic burger experience, this is a great option. The smoothie was good as well, though I personally prefer fruit-forward smoothies with lighter juices, so the almond milk base wasn't quite my favorite, but it still complemented the meal nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit-down spot with a cute atmosphere and a solid Impossible burger at a reasonable price, Elephant + Vine is a great choice. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

06/03/26 - My Ta Shih/Grandmaster & I were hungry after class. I was giving him a ride back to the…read moretrain station as his car is currently in the shop & we decided to grab a bite to eat. We went to GG's Chicken Shop on Southport next door to Little Goat Diner (one of Stephanie Izards restaurants). Neither of us had eaten @ GG's Chicken Shop. When we asked for a recommendation the guy working the counter asked if we had eaten there before. Neither of us had & he suggested the Original Fried Chicken sandwich which was delicious. This sandwich had a nice crispy plump fried chicken breast w/pickles, shredded cabbage, hot honey & spicy mayo on a bun. This was a delicious blend of the fried chicken w/the crunch of the cabbage & pickle & the hot honey & spicy mayo. This was an excellent choice that we both enjoyed the sandwich. Dam I was so hungry I scarfed it down before I even took a picture of the delicious sandwich

I asked for an extra side of sauce to dip it in & that helped significantly. We did LOVE all the sides. The mac & cheese was soooo good (and I am hard to impress when it comes to mac & cheese. It tasted way better than it looks). The brussel sprouts were perfectly crispy & not soggy at all. The fries were seasoned great and were sooo good dipped in the ranch. Even though the wrap was disappointing, I would still go back and try their chicken sandwich instead or one of their salads!

Not all the time I like this, but its a real treat for me and ive got a significant tolerance for heat, not crazy but its up there. The Lil Insanity rub on my wings from Fry The Coop almost brought me to my knees. The flavor starts off a bit bright and peppery without overtaking the chicken. Then a smoky heat starts to slowly build, something that in my experience harkens a soon to come and significant uptick in heat. After that it just gets hotter until the heat in your mouth is all that exists. The coleslaw and pickles help, the house sauce (excellent), and the Mac n cheese help and are all delicious. I threw in the towel after 3 wings and am nursing them one at a time again the next day. I just want you say I am so so happy with my purchase / experience. So, so hot without sacrificing flavor. Couldn't be happier. 5 stars, can't wait to order again.

The ambiance here is like a party with old friends. Was lucky enough to get invited to the Soft opening today, and cannot wait to go back already. Everyone from the moment you walk in, just feels like they are all ACTUALLY happy that you are there. Spent some time speaking with a Manager named James, who had a ton of great recommendations, and one I did get, their Thai Mango Salad (was actually on his name tag for his favorite item), was fantastic! Had at least 15 employees say hi to me with big smiles, and tons of compliments which you just don't see nowadays. Thank you to Mendocino Farms for choosing Fulton Market as a place to open up.

We went on a Tuesday and they do half off wings, so we got bbq wings. Everything was awesome. The sweet potato fries were really good. The sandwich was good. The steak was great.
