Cozy restaurant with friendly, professional and amicable hostesses, waiters/waitresses, bartenders and staff. Enticing menu makes choosing a good challenge. Started with a spiked hot chocolate with Bailey's - yesss! My friend babied a yummy espresso martini. The all American cheeseburger was perfectly prepared; however, the hash browns were a tad mushy and slightly burned. The huge chicken dip sandwich was great, especially in the au jus, plus who doesn't like a mound of fresh thin fries? Our waiter, Jack, took care of us promptly before during an after. The ambience and extensive menu begs me to come back for another round. read more

3.5 - the service was great! Our server was super kind and provided great service. The inside is very cozy and warm. Decent amount of seating! I think I was just disappointed in the food. Not bad but wasn't as good as I was expecting and I felt like it was priced a but pricier given the taste. I would come back to try something else if someone highly recommended it but wasn't my favorite. read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat in Lakeview after doing some shopping @ madewell, gap & Sephora. All within the same block! Can't go wrong with ordering one of the their signature specials- rotisserie chicken! Was juicy and flavorful and went wonderfully with the fluffy mashed potatoes! Since we were sitting at the bar counter our server was also the bar tender-Luis. He was the one who gave us the suggestions on what to order which turned out to be spectacular! He also helped us get our bearings as to where we actually were. We thought Roscoe village or Bucktown but we actually were in Lakeview! I think maybe some would say wrigleyville! Don't miss this great place that serves comfort style food with relaxed atmosphere!! read more

Crosby's Kitchen is delicious for any time of the day! They have amazing brunch/lunch/dinner options that you truly can't go wrong with. They're known for their Wrightwood Salad which feels fresh, but what has truly stood out to me so far has been their Bloody Marys and their Thanksgiving Special sandwich (wish they offered this all year). They have a great Midwestern vibe going on inside, and are very organized. One thing I will say is their service can be hit or miss (feel like this depends on the server), but their well curated dishes will always have me coming back! read more

We decided to drop in a try for a table on a Friday night without a reservation. We were excited when they did have a table for two for us! But I would recommend a reservation to guarantee a table. To drink, I ordered a prickly pear margarita on our servers recommendation. It was a very satisfying egg foam and refreshing flavor. To eat, I ordered the nice little house salad with rotisserie chicken added. This was the perfect late night light dinner. The salad has a citrus vinaigrette and the chicken is exceptional. You have to try it in some form when you are there as it's their specialty. It comes with a piece of jalapeño cornbread which I think should be standard with any salad! For dessert, we had an iron skillet cookie. It was gooey, warm and delicious. Definitely a classic dessert that you cannot go wrong with. This is a great neighborhood spot for high quality food and well crafted classics. read more

Street parking with Pay to Park meters. We were a bit early for our large group reservation, but our table was ready and we were promptly seated. Server came by for drink orders. We perused the menu while awaiting the rest of our party. There's a nice selection of food and drinks. There were also some specials that sounded and tasted great! Brussels sprouts appetizer was shared with the group, a good choice if you enjoy sprouts. Crab toast was reported as delightful, and my Wrightwood Salad was generously portioned and very tasty! Food and drinks were delivered to us in a timely manner. We were not rushed, which was good because our visit was to catch up with out of town visitors. Restroom was clean! There's an inviting outdoor patio around the corner on Cornelia Ave, looks like a great place to relax and enjoy the city vibes! read more

We went for brunch on Saturday early afternoon. There is a cocktail menu along with some specials; but we opted for coffee, water, and a bloody mary. We started with some monkey bread and blueberry cornbread. We ordered avocado toast, eggs benedict and biscuits & sausage gravy. Don't forget to add hashbrowns if not included with your entree - they are fantastic!!! Monkey Bread - similar to bread yeast rolls with carmel on the bottom and some butter on top. Nothing too special. Blueberry cornbread - this was way better than expected. Flaky, full of blueberries, not too sweet, but so tasty. MUST-ORDER ITEM! Eggs Benedict - two halves with full poached eggs on bacon with hollandaise sauce. Hashbrowns comes with. These were super tasty and great! I would choose these again. I tried some of the Biscuits & Sausage Gravy. The biscuit was very dense and dry to me, but the sauage gravy was excellent. Avocado Toast - they use a brioche-type bread, which is excellent and avocado mixed with spices gives it a little kick. It comes with a side salad that looked wonderful, but I didn't try it. The restaurants has tables and booths. Although the chairs are wooden and hard if you are in place for over an hour. There is also a bar area. As for holding a conversation, it wasn't too loud during the afternoon. It was getting quite busy, but we still had no trouble talking amongst our group. Our service started off great. Discussing the menu options and famous dishes, etc. We were served water which is served from a bottle brought over from the bar area. However, we never received a refill on water and ended up grabbing it ourself from the bar. In fact, even our last round of drinks and refills were never brought to us. We asked and had to remind our server. Entrees were around the $17-22 range. I would visit again. read more

First it's a cozy, neighborhood restaurant in a nice part of Southport's shopping district. Second they have nice outdoor seating that make a comfortable day great al fresco dining. Third they are a scratch kitchen making even the pasta for dishes right there. We had the spinach artichoke appetizer. It came with some gazpacho like salsa that seemed out of place for this type of dish but the appetizer tasted good. It had a couple small hard bits in it, not sure what they were, I couldn't identify them. We also had the pasta rigatoni. It was great. Sauce had good flavor. We loved the house made rigatoni pasta served al dente. It contained generous amounts of burrata in small bits, almost cottage cheese like in size, that were easy to mix in and consume. It had ground sausage with good taste. I think they could have been more generous with the amount of sausage. It was slightly pricey. Two of us, one appetizer, two pasta dishes, no drinks or desserts, came to $80+. I will probably dine here again. Wait staff was polite and on top of most things except did have to ask for silverware and napkins. read more

Great spot in the Southport Irving Park area. I met a friend of mine to celebrate my birthday. I had the seared Aji tuna salad, but it was cooked a little too much. Several of the pieces were gray. They did make it with Romain lettuce instead of spring mix. Which was my request. It was a nice portion and the vinaigrette was an excellent addition to the salad. Had a spicy margarita, which was ok. We met on a Monday around 12:30 and there was a good sized crowd there. Nice variety of menu. We didn't mention it was my birthday so I don't know if they do desserts for that. Anna was our server and did a nice job. Great outdoor seating. It was a little chilly so we did not sit outside. The inside is decorated a little rustic and it was nice. read more

Great food and service. A neighborhood gem. Love the salads, salmon was cooked perfectly.

Crosbys kitchen has a large menu that is suitable for almost everyone. They have a lot of seafood on their menu as well. I love most of their apps, especially the lobster deviled eggs and tuna nachos. I haven't found my favorite entree yet. The side of Mac and cheese is also phenomenal. I did have a little bit of slower service during my past visit but it was lovely sitting outside on the patio I didn't mind the extra time out there. read more

Just tried this place with my daughter and her partner for the first time on Sunday for brunch. The location has a parking lot which is great, and the interior decor is very sleek and sun-filled. The environment feels light and airy. It's quiet enough for engaging in conversation with loved ones, and the best part of course is that the food was delicious. Our server was also very attentive and friendly, took great care of us. I had the chicken dip sandwich which was so juicy and fresh! The accompanying French fries were also so fresh you can really taste the difference! My daughter had the traditional breakfast and also said her meal was very good! Her partner had a breakfast sandwich with fresh toppings that he said was amazing also! Definitely recommend and will return to dine again! read more

Went for NYD (new years day) brunch. It was a more casual spot. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We started with the spinach artichoke dip which was lovely. Very cheesy and warm. The avocado toast was good too. I loved the salad it came with. The avo toast was a little spicy just fyi. The hash browns are amazing!! Would just order these. The breakfast sandwich was okay. Pretty standard. The breads were hearty which I liked. All in all, a good meal! read more

Kindest staff. I love their rotisserie chicken breast. The meat falls off the bone and is so moist + I ask for all white meat which can sometimes be dry but never at Crosby's. The menu is full of delicious protein and fresh vegetables, everything is also incredibly well priced so you can eat there weekly (like us) and not break the bank. The atmosphere is so lovely, and the staff is kind and always willing to accommodate allergies and work with the kitchen to ensure plates are to each persons liking. It's hard to find such good service, quality food and good atmosphere for this process point anywhere else in Chicago. Highly recommended! Thanks, Crosbys! read more

Dropped into town and hadn't seen the bestie and her partner in ages and this is their fave. Well we had a blast. The carnivore loved the steak and fries. As the resident pescetarian those lobster deviled eggs were a fabulous seafood-inspired Easter treat. The house salad was excellent and the side of salmon and the jalapeno cornbread were fashion and food police A+. Super amazing service--fast and friendly and why do the male waiters all look like Benson Boone (NOT complaining)? read more

Food and service were great. It's always alive and kicking inside. Cocktails were tasty.

Only been here for brunch but it's been great every time. I recommend the cornbread to share with the table. I got the eggs Benedict and which came with cheesy hash browns. Everyone enjoyed their meals! read more

My son and I stopped by Crosby's for brunch, but we found out they only serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Honestly, I see a big opportunity here offering brunch during the week could be a hit. On our visit, half of the menu was unfortunately unavailable, so we ended up ordering mostly appetizers. Luckily, our server was fantastic, very attentive and friendly, which made the experience much better. That said, I think management should be more proactive in keeping track of 86'd items. It's important for both the staff and the guests to know what's truly available. read more

Cute place and good service. We got the filet sliders and meant to ask for the bleu cheese on the side, but we forgot. I don't like bleu cheese and it definitely permeated the whole slider. Even so, the meat itself wasn't out of this world and I do was we tried a different app. The chicken dip was pretty good. I liked the dipping aspect even though it was a little messy. The chicken was SUPER thick so it was very filling, but tasty. The fries were also just alright. We were seated next to an open window and thank god because they cranked the A/C to the point where I was shivering and needed the warm air from outside. I was also a little worried that the vents were going to drip on me but thankfully they did not. read more

A great spot in the Southport area! We came here for lunch on a Friday and I was surprised how busy it was. Must be a popular neighborhood spot.

Updated Review: Kristina from Crosby's called me to discuss the incident below. I truly appreciated her follow through and customer service. It is obvious that Crosby's takes their customer feedback seriously. Hats off to a good management team who cares about patrons. I have updated my review to 4 stars. Original Review: I tried to order through Uber eats and GrubHub for delivery and the orders would not go through. I ordered through the website and a DoorDash driver was assigned. My food was picked up @645; and the arrival time kept changing. I texted the driver after 30 minutes, no response. Finally I called and he picked up. App malfunctioned and he was on hold with DoorDash customer service. No one let me know of any issues. I finally gave driver my address to deliver my cold food. Very disappointed. Crosbys has great food and I live within a quick delivery zone (under 15 min with traffic), but not sure I would order again through website if DoorDash is the only option. Very poor customer service. 2 stars, food is good Door Dash not so much. read more

Arrived in a Saturday at 3pm. Place was not busy yet tables were still not cleaned up. When placing our order we were told they stop selling their monkey bread at 3pm ( we missed it by 15 minutes) and that they normally throw the leftover away (very wasteful). I ordered a limoncello spritz which was okay, the cornbread was okay but not very warm, and steak frites to share. When the steak arrived, it was not sliced and very hard to cut. I mentioned this to the waiter and he let us know they don't cut it and that he told them it was for two and they still did not cut it. The fries were also not very fresh. Overall just a mediocre experience and I'm sorry I spent my Saturday and my money here. read more

A little over a month ago my friends and I dined here an hour before closing. We didn't have a great experience. Perhaps we caught them at a bad time. I left a review about my experience and immediately someone got back to me with concerns. They apologized about the experience we had and generously invited us back for another meal. When I tell you this was the most delicious meal I've had in a long time, I'm not kidding. The hash browns are like crack, they're so good. The blueberry cornbread was delicious, as well as the mimosas. The service was phenomenal, everyone was so nice and attentive. I was very impressed by the turn around my experience had. Mistakes happen, not every night is perfect, but they made up for it and that's what matters. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for all day dining, they truly care about their guests! read more

I recently ordered takeout as a treat on the way home. I'm a frequent guest at Crosby's and I always take my family to get brunch there when they are in town. Tonight, my to-go order was extremely disappointing. The chicken tortilla soup ($11) was not even a full container and it was 3/4 full with broth and a singular piece of chicken and a small triangle piece of avocado. I do not recommend ordering this item if you are expecting chicken in your "chicken" tortilla soup. read more

Loved eating here last month on a Saturday with a girlfriend of mine! There was a bit of a wait which was expected, but when we were sat we were glad to get a table against the window. To start- we ordered a bottle of champ with some juices, which was a perfect way to start off brunch. To eat... we decided to share a number of items- we ordered the Monkey Bread, the Lobster Deviled Eggs, the Wrightwood Salad, and the Avocado Toast. Everything was so so good, the salad I could not stop eating! Great toppings, and I'd love to try the brussels salad next time. The monkey bread is a must order- we licked that skillet clean even if we couldn't finish everything else. This was my first time to Crosby's Kitchen but definitely not my last. I'd love to come back when the weather is warmer to get a seat on the patio, and people watch all the shoppers on Southport! read more

Make a reservation! Food is good and restaurant is nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. For appetizers we enjoy the skillet cornbread and lobster deviled eggs. For mains we love the wrightwood salad, burger and short rib pasta. They have a different special every day. Only drawback to this place is that it is very loud, so keep that in mind if you like a more quiet dining experience. read more

I'm impressed with this restaurant. I do find it a bit a comical that the best dish I had when I visited for restaurant week was the filet sliders appetizer. Not to say that the rest of the food was good - it was - but the sliders were on another level. I took one home to my husband and he not only agreed with me, we've been back to get just the sliders. Honestly, you can make a quality meal from a variety of the appetizers on the dinner menu. Outside of that love affair, the restaurant is busy, gives off a cozy aesthetic, and looks compact when you're walking around. I sat at the bar, and my service there was very friendly and personable. Not sure if they take reservations, but I do advise that you make such if you're going to go. If not, be prepared to wait during the weekends, including for seats at the bar. read more

I can't...I'm literally blown away. On our way to Midway from Wrigleyville, we stopped for breakfast/lunch. The service was amazing (hope I don't get this wrong...shout out to Alfonso! Sorry if I get the name wrong--I was one Rose deep!). The food...I had the chicken dip. Yes, a chicken dip--I never even knew that was a thing. But trust me, it's a thing. The freshest, most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Worth every morsel and every calorie. My husband had a buttermilk pancake, omelette, and hash browns. He said it was INCREDIBLE. Thank you for not only go an incredible experience, but a great vibe, wonderful service, and magnificent food. I cannot wait to go back. read more

This place was bustling in early afternoon on a weekend. My boyfriend and I stopped in for lunch but they were still on their brunch menu (it was after 2 pm), which was mostly breakfast but whatever. Our waiter didn't seem to understand that talking quietly and rapidly in a loud space meant that I was going to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. Other than that he was fine. We went with breakfast items: the biscuits and gravy (which also included eggs) for him, and a few sides for me: hash browns, sausage and a biscuit. The biscuit was fine; the hash brown was a thick square (think a piece of lasagna), herby tasting but not what I was expecting. Likewise the three pallid plump links of sausage that seemed barely kissed by a pan. I cut one open and it was just not appealing, but happily the manager swapped it out for bacon which was perfectly fine (I would have also been happy at that point just taking it off the bill). The biscuit and gravy skillet was tasty, according to my boyfriend. Overall, I might come back for a meal other than brunch, but this was only so-so. read more

Our waiter was so kind. The team seated us quickly even though it was in the middle of lunch rush. It was a little too hot to eat outside but they do offer outdoor seating if preferred. We had the cornbread that has actual corn in it. I tried the ribs. Glad to know you can swap out the fries for a different side. However, the sides are a bit over priced. Overall great lunch choice in wrigleyville. read more

They were packed on Sunday brunch. You will absolutely need a reservation if you're considering brunch here on the weekend. It's also quite loud inside. As far as the food goes, the hash browns were incredibly delicious and the monkey bread was addicting. I'd go back for either of those items. The other food I tried was just OK. The service was fine and the ambiance felt homey. read more

No vegetarian/vegan options on their menu and no price listed on 95% of the menu (which allows them to gouge you at a moment's notice). I literally never trust a restaurant that can't bother to list their prices right up front like an honest business. This is just straight up bad practice. read more

The rigatoni burrata is spectacular! However, I ordered it for delivery and it was $27 for 14 pieces of rigatoni. It is for real so good, but $2 per rigatoni is absurd. Every other pasta place I usually can get 2 or 3 meals out of it. I get that prices are up but this feels like too much of a money grab...Bummer. read more
