First time to Crosby's Kitchen while on our first Chicago visit. Service and food were both exceptional....our server was Matti and he checked in at just the right times to make sure we were doing well. Ribs and sliders were on par and the deviled eggs set the stage for both. Definitely on our list when we return to Chicago. read more

Cannot speak highly enough of this little gem, mostly for the amazing food and wholesome energy here! Great spot to end after walking around Southport shopping. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and relaxed, making it an easy place to settle in for a meal or grab a drink while taking a break from exploring the neighborhood. Everything feels thoughtfully done, from the food to the overall vibe, and it's the kind of place that leaves you feeling happy you stopped in. read more

We came for lunch on a Friday. We sat in the back corner below the old kitchen cabinet "art." The lighting was too bright and the room felt cold. We shared the lobster deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts. The deviled eggs were fine but to me the flavor of the lobster is lost in the egg filling. The Brussels sprouts were strange. We had asked other bacon on the side and it came out cold and limp... the sprouts were really greasy and they were topped with a strange tart flavored dressing. They were not enjoyable. My ahi tuna salad was what very different from what I am used to tasting. The dressing was too tart and overpowered the tuna. The greens were also overdressed and way too wet. Others had the Wrightwood salad, the turkey burger and the salmon and all enjoyed theirs. read more

Dined here on 9/11/2026. I came here on a Friday night at 7:30 PM. I was with my three friends and we wanted a dinner before our night out. I got a tequila drink, my friend ordered a cucumber spritz, and we also got espresso martinis. The drinks were good! I ordered the turkey burger which was good, but nothing crazy. My friends ordered salads which were presented well but the taste wasn't anything crazy. Great place to take someone who is really picky, but I would not recommend you to take your friends here for a special night. Overall good vibe inside and the service was awesome. 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

Always a great experience. Went this week and AC was not out, but staff super nice and honestly wasn't too hot in there. Food is always 10/10 no matter what I order. Steak frites and French dip sandwich are favorites. Great drink selection. Frequent at this neighborhood spot. read more

A very solid, consistent American food spot. This is the kind of place I know the service will be friendly and the food will be good. This is the kind of place I take my parents when they come into town. I personally really like the lobster deviled eggs and of course anything including the rotisserie chicken. Good place to stop in while shopping around the area. read more

I've only ever had lunch or brunch here, but honestly, I'm always super impressed and satisfied. It isn't an easy place to go with his friend or family and they have lovely outdoor seating that allows for dogs. The blueberry cornbread is one of my favorites in the city and I always get it. They have good breakfast. I found this, but my favorite things are the wrightwood salad and the chicken dip. It's just a super reliable place in Southport and a really meal! Big fan of that patio! 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

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

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

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

Slightly elevated American comfort food is how our server described and I'd have to agree. While it was simply just ribs and coleslaw, they add a kick that turns it up just a notch without overdoing it. The portion size was great, just enough food to clear the plate without feeling stuffed. Service was quick and friendly, pleasantries from every employee in our path. I thankfully made a reservation, even on a Monday night, Crosbys seems to be one of the popular Southport spots for dinner. 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

In town visiting some friends and they took me to Crosby's Kitchen for lunch . At first I was a little disappointed that there did not seem to be many vegetarian options. I ended up getting the Wrightwood salad without chicken and it was amazing!!! I was blown away. The service was good and the ambiance was nice -- it is a pretty busy place but the booths are great. Would definitely come back for more Wrightwood salad read more

I was so disappointed in our early Sunday dinner with friends at Crosby's Kitchen. The server was excellent and the atmosphere pleasant. My wife and I split a turkey burger which was very good. However, the Wrightwood salad was inedible. The service stated that the rotisserie chicken was one of Crosby's signature dishes. Unfortunately, the salad came with grizzly, slabs of dark meat. It appeared as if the chicken meat was sliced off the drum stick and thigh. Not my expectation of rotisserie chicken pieces. The fries were as cold and hard. Maybe I should just stick with brunch! 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

Visiting from Ft Worth Texas and wanted something after the Cubs game. Our server Kylie was outstanding. She was meant to serve. Sweet smiles no matter what we asked, attentive to our needs and made suggestions that were wonderful. The beer cheese with chips surprised us as we expected queso dip and it was more like pimento cheese. Make reservations before ya come so you don't have to wait. If we lived here we would be back. read more

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

Overpriced but you are in Wrigleyville afterall. Lemon blueberry pancakes had maybe 3 blueberries in them total; no lemon flavor was detected. Blueberries were in a syrup which was tasty. Service was solid. 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

Kylie was great! Fast friendly service, good food, loved the outdoor seating that had plenty of space and wasn't crowded into the sidewalk.

Service is always great. Some of the food is subpar (croquettes are just fine) but everything else is delightful. Big fan of the chicken with a side of spaetzle Mac and cheese for a comfort meal. Very kid friendly so sometimes not the calmest environment but good for families! read more
