Such a nice ambiance. They messed up our order pretty bad but they fixed it and we're very nice about us asking to switch tables. It was super fun for a double date, and Southport is such a pretty area. Get the brussel sprouts! read more

Crosby's Kitchen is a great spot for some good comforting American food. One of those places that works whether you're on a date, with family or friends. Good quality fresh food. Usually great service. Pretty sidewalk patio and nice open dining room-especially if you get a window table. The filet sliders are the best app! The short rib rigatoni and the salmon are both so good that we've ordered them several times. This is the place to go when you just want some simple well done reliable food and you're not in the mood for trying something new. Close to the el and usually not too hard to find street parking. Great area for strolling around after dinner! read more

I've dined here many times with my family. We came for an early dinner on Sunday. We were told the special was prime rib. Our server said the prime rib is cooked medium rare unless I wanted it a different temperature, and I said I actually preferred medium rare. When the prime rib came out, it was cooked well done. After letting our server know, he brought it back to the kitchen and then let us know that the chef said the prime rib has been on the rotisserie for too long that day and all the rest of the orders for prime rib for the rest of the evening will be cooked more at the medium temperature. He asked if he can get me a fresh one at medium temperature and I said yes. He returned with a fresh plate and this time, the prime rib was half the size of the original one, and was still cooked well done. read more

Crosby's Kitchen is exactly what you hope for when you picture Sunday brunch. Although quoted a 30-45 minute wait at 11:00am, we were texted approx. 5 minutes later stating our table was ready. Weird time management, but I wasn't complaining because we were hungry! I started with a mimosa and my boyfriend ordered a Bloody Mary; both were solid, strong choices. For food, I went with the French Toast, which had a rather unique choice of bread. I would have liked if it was dipped in the liquid for longer, and then made a little toastier, but it was still tasty as is! My boyfriend ordered the Warm Chicken Hash, sprinkled a little hot sauce on it, and was thoroughly content. Service was quick and efficient, albeit a bit rushed at times; at one point they tried to clear my plate before I was done! Overall though, a solid experience that we would gladly take out of town guests to. CK is a crowd pleaser for sure. read more

Amazing food, great ambiance and fast service. The perfect place for meeting with family or friends.

Love their burger!!! Especially with the goat cheese! Staff were very nice & welcoming

Really enjoyed our brunch here ! We started with the lobster deviled eggs which were fantastic. I got the Brussel sprout salad - definitely add chicken and it I did it over again I'd also add avocado. It was a good size and tasted great. My fiancée got the chicken dip sandwich - added avocado and bacon and loved it but it was definitely hard to eat because it was so big . If you join their rewards program you get $10 so I recommend doing that - especially if you live in the area and go to those restaurants often. read more

I went to Crosby's Kitchen for Restaurant Week and left full and with a bag full of leftovers. I started with the lobster deviled eggs which were delicious but I was lead to believe would be a larger portion then what I received. We split the salads which were all delicious. I am a big fan of the salads at Crosby's Kitchen. Then I decided to get the ribs since that is what they are famous for. I don't eat ribs that often but I'm so glad I made the choice. They were so tender and the meat practically fell off the bone. The meal ended with the carrot cake. It was moist and very rich. At that point I could only eat half of it, but it made for a great midnight snack! read more

Terrific food. Terrific service. Pricey, but generally worth it. But if you want to take your wife there to celebrate her birthday, don't expect them to make any kind of big deal about it. I went in to get a table before my wife got there, and let them know it was her birthday. Because it's a big thing. It's a big deal. I mean, it's not a cheap place, and it's kind of a special occasion kind of a place. So, I said that it was my wife's birthday. The waitress said that they don't comp dessert, but they would stick a candle in there. It was this weird kinda burn. "Throw a candle in there?" Weird, right? So, I said, you know, it's a big deal that it's her birthday, and she gave me the cold shoulder. So, I said, "if you don't want to wish my wife a happy birthday, that's on you." So, the manager came over to give me crap about making the waitress feel bad. Really? It's my wife's birthday! We come here for special occasions! Come on. "I'll find you a different server" the manager says, kinda making it clear that I'm lucky that she's not throwing me out. Just then, my wife comes in, and I say, "hey, it's my wife! It's her birthday!" So cold as can be, the manager says, "have a pleasant birthday". HAVE A PLEASANT BIRTHDAY? IS THAT EVEN A THING?? We have a really expensive dinner, and it was good. I got the special, which was excellent, and my wife got an array of appetizers and sides, which is generally a good way to taste what the chef wants to show off, which is *precisely* what she wanted for her birthday. "Wow me." And, it was ok, but "just" ok, if you know what I mean. But, you know what was super weird? The veggie of the day was asparagus, so we both ordered asparagus to go with our meal. When the meals came out, they brought pesto cauliflower with wilted red pepper. They had run out of asparagus, and didn't even bother to tell us, or come by and say, "is there a different side that you'd prefer?" or ANYTHING that when two people are dropping big dollars, you'd expect. Just, here-have-this-funky-green-stuff. No explanation. "What is that?" "Cauliflower." "We ordered asparagus." "We're out" "Can we get something other than cauliflower" "Sure. What do you want?" "I dunno. What do you have?" I got the broccoli, which was good, but, then I needed to ask for butter, and by the time the butter got there, the broccoli was cold. My wife liked the cauliflower concoction, btw, and I don't want to sound petty, but much worse restaurants handle these little issues much better. So, the big moment. The moment we've all been waiting for. The big birthday dessert! We ordered the skillet cookie, which was both very fun, and very worth the calories. But remember that candle from the snotty waitress at the beginning? The one who said that they don't comp dessert, but they'd throw in a candle? Well, no candle, no writing on the plate, no "happy birthday" piped onto the cookie, nothing. And, again, such worse places do things SO MUCH BETTER. Now, I had told EVERYBODY WHO WORKED THERE THAT I COULD SNEAKILY TELL that it is my wife's birthday, and it's a BIG THING to me, and the whole reason we were there. "Oh, it's your birthday?" says the guy who brings dessert, surprised, and he was really nice, and said that my wife was beautiful and looks 23, which was great. Then he sat down at the third chair at the table, and he and I sang the happy birthday song. Which was really sweet. Not what I was expecting -- not by a long shot -- but sweet. SERIOUSLY! I could not have made it clearer that it was a big thing to me. They could not have made it clearer that they just didn't care. Go, have a nice dinner. But, don't expect anything special for any kind of special occasion. Because they just couldn't POSSIBLY care less. read more

Service: 5/5- they were so nice, on their game with refilling water which I appreciate and checking in just the right amount (not annoying) Drinks: The rose sangria was refreshing and the perfect summer cocktails Food: -wrightwood salad- could be a 5/5 with these tips... if you only like white meat then ask or else you will get a large mix of both light and dark meat, ask them to chop the chicken or else you get these large pieces, dressing and corn bread croutons are a must and so amazing -corn bread: good but you need the butter or it felt a little dry, but the honey butter was fire -bacon potato cake: I would pass on this one and instead try another side, it was fine but the fires looked better! I would definitely go back! read more

Came here for an impromptu brunch on a Saturday morning/afternoon. There was about a 20 minute wait, but seats at the bar were open and it was full service. The menu had a very nice selection- I ordered the Wrightwood salad and my partner ordered some sort of chicken pot pie with biscuits meal..I forgot the name of it. Anyway, both meals, and the drinks, were REALLY good!! We will definitely be returning for more!! Oh- my partner also really enjoyed the lobster deviled eggs. I don't like eggs so I didn't try it but I trust his review. The food was also very reasonably priced and the restaurant was situated in a very cute/quaint neighborhood. read more

I had brunch here with friends. Good atmosphere and vibe. A lot of young people with dogs. Who doesn't like dogs. Speaking about likes and dislikes, the rotisserie chicken salad was a total dislike for me. It was heavy and overly oily, the chicken was bland and flavorless. It gave an impression that some left over roti chicken from some grocery store had been chopped up haphazardly to make this salad!. The salad itself was chewy, making me feel that they had obtained the services of the more senior members of the green vegetable family to make it. The service however was good. The baked bread was awesome. Generally it seems the sweets are good. Overall rating 3/5. Flavor 3/10.

Service was terrible. Took 30 minutes to get a cold brew and an additional 20 minutes to get our orders in. Burger was somehow burned but wet? Fries came out cold. Breakfast sandwich was flavorless. Only saving grace was the hash browns. Very underwhelming. read more

Hmm, these restaurants on Southport with high Yelp reviews are not living up (Southport Grocery and Cafe last week and CK this weekend)! After a 45 minute wait on a Saturday, we sat down to a brunch of monkey bread, a grilled tilapia sandwich with a side of bacon potato cakes, and a 2 egg, sausage, and bacon meal. Monkey bread was served up in a skillet, looked fluffy and inviting, and I couldn't wait to dig in! My hopes fell flat when I took my first bite, and the bread was still cold on the interior! What?? I notified the waiter, and he quickly took the skillet away. I thought the kitchen might just pop the monkey back into the oven for a couple minutes, which I would've been fine with, but they re-prepared the dish. The second attempt sadly wasn't any better. When I tasted the bread, it was room temperature. For a dish served in a skillet with accompanying heavy duty oven mitt, the temperature definitely missed expectations. Now that I got that monkey off my back (har har!), I will say that the tilapia in my sandwich was blackened nicely and seasoned appropriately. The bacon potato cake was flavorful and had a pleasant, crusty texture on the outside. My husband was satisfied with his brunch, and we both give the coffee 2 thumbs up. Bonus random observation: this Lakeview spot is like baby central! It seemed like almost every table had an infant or toddler diner, and the front foyer of Crosby's was occupied by stroller parking. read more

Atmosphere- warm, cozy, perfect place to go to on a Saturday afternoon during a Chicago winter! Waited only 10 minutes but worth it with the booth next to the window to accommodate my 17 month old daughter! Service- staff is awesome! Service is great and accommodating. Food- Corn Bread- Amazing! Fried Egg sandwich- best I ever had! What's not to love when you put bacon, egg, tomato, and mayo on good bread? Lobster Deviled eggs- not bad, understand the cost because lobster is expensive, just better appetizers here. French Toast- OK, a little bland but nothing that a little more syrup can fix! Bloody Mary- outstanding, especially with the Miller beer back! Location- trendy Southport area, will probably have to wait on the weekends but its worth it. I wish this place existed when I lived in the area. Great place to have a drink, watch a game, or have a good meal with family friends that are visiting from out if town! To the reviewer who left a tip for Southport moms not to bring their kids that don't know how to act in a restaurant, I have some advice for you: - Don't complain until you actually have a meal in a restaurant with your own kid! - This place is not Alinea! - The Southport mom's are the ones paying taxes in the neighborhood to have good places like Crosby's! - Let a kid be a kid! read more

1 star for Crosby's Kitchen in Niles. Do not go there for breakfast. McDonalds would be a better choice. The food served comes out cold. The hashbrowns are really a potato casserole with hidden ingredients. Hunter the manager will tell you sorry, I will talk to the Chef. The cost for this bad breakfast will make you get a second job. read more

Crosby's Kitchen was an A+ brunch spot on a late Saturday morning. We had a 30 minute wait so we browsed the adorable nearby shops until our table was ready. We were texted shortly thereafter and headed over. Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Food was aweeeesomeeee we had the bacon strata benedict (heavy and amazing) and the fried egg sandwich on thick cut marbled rye (massive and messy and delicious). Potatoes on the side for both. It was insisted that I get the potatoes -- hashbrowns that are mixed with a soft cheese and rosemary. Delightful!! We took leftovers, ate them for a late lunch, and they were still awesome! read more

This place has great service and a nice seating around outside. You get to people watch while you eat. We shared their chicken dip sandwich. Lots of meat, it was tender, and the bread was good. I'm not a big breast fan when it comes to chickens ;) but it was still very tasty. The key lime pie was to die for! I loved how it wasn't too sweet or too tart. Just right. The whipped cream was average and crust too fell to pieces but their filling was the winner here. Would definitely come back and try something else or even try out their brunch menu. Also their pricing is very reasonable! read more

Stopped in for a bite because we were in the neighborhood, and this seemed the best option at the time. It was early dinnertime-ish, like 6pm. The inside was crowded, so we opted to sit outside, with the request that we get seated out of the blazing sun. Our wish was granted, we avoided a wait time, got a shady table with an umbrella on the patio. Service was attentive but not overbearing. My water was never empty, and the server was familiar with the menu and was able to answer questions. I had the chicken sandwich which was delightful. Nice bread that was the right size and did not fall apart, tender chicken and cheezy goodness. What's not to like? The other half had a burger. Solid choice, cooked as requested. Think cut fries were tasty and not burnt - yea. Really nice restrooms, but I wish there were more of them. I want to come back and try more. Everything they brought out looked good. read more

Went here for Easter Brunch with a couple friends and really enjoyed our meal here. Between us we got the rock shrimp salad, lobster deviled eggs, guacamole, and eggs benedict, along with a couple cocktails. We all left pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed all our food (I would have preferred if the shrimp salad was just a little more hearty on the salad aspect). It's not a huge menu, but I feel this is the type of place that focuses on doing some things very well instead of doing everything so-so. The ambiance was open and inviting and seemed like a great place to bring kids to (given the number of families and kids around us). Not in our specific area but we will definitely be back next time we're in the neighborhood! read more

I moved to Chicago over two years ago, and Crosby's was the first place I dined at on the exact day I moved in. They never disappoint, and even after leaving the Southport neighborhood, I always return. I would definitely suggest making a reservation if venturing here on a weekend because they are always busy. They are kid-friendly and have a variety of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. My favorite is the Wrightwood Salad for dinner. Their brunch is also a 10/10. If you are a dessert lover, the skillet cookie is to die for. Their staff is always super friendly and accommodating. From first dates to NYE dinners, they never seem to disappoint. See you again soon! read more

Great place. Great food. Fun times for all ages. The only way it could get better is if there were two of them.

A solid 3 stars. Very welcoming and very homey. Staff seem friendly enough, and the simple menu covers a lot of ground. We were quoted 15 minutes for a to-go pickup which was impressively fast. Food in general was AOK, but sadly, turkey burger was super dry. Spinach dip, lobster deviled eggs, sausage and sides including slaw and a biscuit were delicious but temps were all a bit off. Might be the kitchen's fault but more than likely it was the thin cardboard boxes the to-go was served in. Next time we'll dine in, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. read more

We have been going to Crosby's for about 6 years. I feel that the quality of the food is seriously declining. We loved this spot as it is kids friendly restaurants and you can usually get in no problem. However, tonight's experience was just not good at all. Our drink order was messed up - which can happen, no biggie. Our guacamole looked brown ish/old and it also tasted like that. I felt kinda grossed out by it. Lastly, my salmon was seriously undercooked and raw inside. I mean it is not sushi! The server asked me how I want the salmon cooked which I was kinda like huh? I was never asked that about fish. However, I said fully cooked and she was like ok so well done. Well it was raw. At that point I was like let's just get out of here. We took the leftovers with which now I don't know why, because we threw them away. The only good dish we had was the kids chicken and the chicken sandwich with the dip.. sorry but for $109 for a dinner I should have a decent experience. I really felt icky eating this food. I know brunch at Crosby's is good so we will definitely stick to that and won't be coming back for dinner any time soon . read more

Excellent place, great service and wonderful food. Enjoyed a delicious deviled eggs, crab cakes and margaritas. George took great care of us

Great neighborhood restaurant! Really good rotisserie Chicken cooked on location. Staff is always friendly.

So we really came here because our son's name is Crosby but definitely was a bonus that it was a great restaurant! Food was really good! We got the cream of mushroom soup on a cold and snowy day to start and it hit the spot! I got the filet sliders as my app and they were super easy to eat and so yummy! I love bleu cheese and red onions with a filet so it was perfect! My husband got the chicken au jus which was soooo tender the chicken didn't even taste like a regular chicken. It literally melted away in your mouth. It reminded me of something you should eat on thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. The decor in the bathroom is awesome and the whole place just seemed homey. Really liked it here! read more

My friend and I went here for a weekend brunch and were delighted by our meals. With phase two now allowing indoor dining, we sat inside the booth. The service was exceptional and our waitress informed us of the rewards program available to us. We had the eggs Benedict and it was soooo good. I'm usually impartial to eggs Benedict, but this was spicy and flavorful and the hash was out of this world- so full of flavor and very satisfying I was so full towards the end I almost couldn't finish (which is saying a lot for eggs Benny!! Overall we were very happy with our choice and will be coming back again! read more

Had an early dinner there last night and really enjoyed it. I try to go whenever I'm in the area and it is always good. Kind of a cross between homestyle cooking and California cuisine. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and had great suggestions. Good service and good food! read more
