Delicious and fresh food! I had the rotisserie chicken dip and it was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries that came with the sandwich were good too. The waitress was great and brought us refills of our soda water. The ambiance is really nice and it has a cozy and upbeat vibe. read more

Had a wonderful time here... it was busy, so we ordered and sat at the bar. Had drinks and dessert only because we already ate dinner somewhere else. No matter- Phil the bartender was very attentive, friendly and we were recommended the Key Lime pie and Carrot Cake. Phenomenal- excellent taste- the carrot cake- frosting not crazy sweet, and was extremely moist. The key lime was also outstanding- not strong citrus tasting- and just an excellent pie as well. Had two drinks, and a coffee, and overall a pleasure to be there, moreover- wasn't so loud there that you're not screaming in order to be heard. We will most definitely go back for a main course/dinner in the near future...but if you're looking for a good trip to satisfy your sweet tooth, this place won't disappoint. Clean place, bathrooms (important) were extremely sanitary, and the people working there were all around very friendly and welcoming. We'll be back: Thanks again Phil- you were a pleasure to converse with. (Excellent Service as well!!) read more

Popped in on a Saturday for an early dinner, sat at the bar. Drinks were good, we ordered a dirty martini and an old fashion. Food, I ordered the rotisserie chicken, good as always and my bf ordered the half slab of bbq'd baby back ribs. Issue with the ribs considering they're labeled as "the best in town". The half slab is priced at $19 or full slab $34. The sauce is not made in house, it is smoke daddy bbq sauce. For $19 I would expect a little more meat on the ribs and less fries and coleslaw. Charging $19 for a plate FULL OF SIDES is absurd and insulting to the customer. We could have went down the street to chilis for the same price and more rib meat than was what plated at Crosby. The half slab is no bigger than a McRib. Most of that slab was all BONE. The manager was kind enough to replace the ribs for another rotisserie chicken and complimentary second round of drinks. They stated they'd take the complaint to corporate. Not sure who is in charge of purchasing meats but cmon, the meat to side ratio is completely off with this dish, along with the pricing. There is no way potatoes and cabbage take up half the cost of $19. Either change butchers/meat vendors or rename this plate to fries and coleslaw with a side of SOME ribs. read more

What a great place for a family friendly lunch out! Went for Valentine's Day with our infant and they were able to accommodate a space for our stroller at the table. I love their skillet cornbread and really enjoyed their brunch. Twist with a blueberry skillet cornbread and maple butter. You can get their bloody Mary virgin. Their arugula Brussels salad was a nice compliment and a nicely cooked piece of salmon on the side. Service was super attentive and accommodating. Would definitely come back! read more

Crosby's kitchen has a couple locations in Chicago area, including one in the suburb of Niles. They are an American cuisine restaurant that has a lot of good standard dishes . We went during brunch /lunch and one of their most popular items is their cornbread in a pan which can be eaten directly out of the pan and very good! I got the chorizo tostadas for breakfast which I thought was decently hefty but maybe not as flavorful as I was hoping. The chili lime melon was a nice complement . Great for groups, families, couples . Great service. We went with our little one so appreciated that they gave us seating that was very suitable and we never felt rushed . #suburb #Chicago read more

I hosted a bridal shower for my future DIL on Saturday at Crosby's Kitchen in Niles. It was wonderful! We had the Library (room), everyone commented on the lovely decor. We were a small group of only 20 people, the room was perfect- cozy but not crowded although we could have comfortably accommodated ~10 more people. It was completely private with no noise from the busy restaurant. We were able to connect our own playlist to the sound system which made it even more personal. We chose to do brunch. The food was amazing! I'm still dreaming about the lemon blueberry pancakes and the unbelievable potato casserole. We also had eggs Benedict, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. For appetizer we had the deviled eggs with hot honey. I'm not usually a deviled egg person but they were delicious. We brought in our own donuts as well because we needed GF options. The service was fantastic, always there when we needed something but never hovering. Thank you Carlos and Gabby (servers) and Katie from catering. I book a lot of events for work and I will definitely keep Crosby's Kitchen in mind. As the mother-in-law to-be it could have been stressful but I was able to enjoy the shower just like all the other guests. It was flawless and made me look great! read more

Came here for a family member's baby shower and we all raved about the food! Definitely come here for brunch. The prices are typical of a brunch place and it was definitely bustling on a Sunday around lunch time. Service was friendly and prompt and the waiters checked up on us pretty frequently. Standouts to me were the monkey bread, the spinach dip and the eggs Benedict. The room where they held the event sat about 40 comfortably and you could definitely have more people as well. The booths throughout the restaurant would be perfect for hosting a small get together or girls brunch. Lots of parking around the restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. read more

I have been to Crosby's Kitchen several times now and they are a go to of mine. You can't beat a scratch kitchen meal! They make everything fresh right in their kitchen! There's plenty of comfy seating (a big plus for me) and there's a parking lot so that's covered! An easy location for a meet up with friends or loved ones for brunch or dinner! read more

We shared the blueberry cornbread that came in a skillet. It was sweet and savory a weird combo for me. I would prefer the regular cornbread. I got the Brussel sprout salad. It was good but only had bacon bits for protein so it was pricey for $16. They are kid friendly and had a lemonade and candy station. They also have a kid crafty item with paper to draw on There's plenty of parking. There's additional parking next door at the eye center read more

If you haven't made it to The Niles location yet, now's the perfect time. I'm not exaggerating when I say we had one of the most tender, juicy, smoky filets we've ever tasted--cooked to absolute perfection. Whether you stop in for the sliders, filet, or the bang bang steak salad, you're in for a treat. We ordered the mahi-mahi sandwich, steak filet, and the bang bang steak filet salad. For dessert: a rich, moist carrot cake and a zesty Key lime pie that hit just right. And the drinks? You must try the Veronica Green--not too sweet, just the right kick of spice, and seriously delicious. Service was top-notch--warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The manager even came by to say hello. What really stood out? Despite the bustling crowd, he rolled up his sleeves and jumped in to help his team. Total class act. The ambiance is equally impressive. There's a lovely outdoor patio, plenty of cozy indoor seating, and a stylish bar area perfect for unwinding during happy hour (Monday through Friday, 4-6 PM). The decor is adorable--elegant yet inviting, with that just-right balance of charm and comfort. We'll absolutely be back on our next visit to Niles. Can't recommend this place enough. . read more

Fabulous! My friend and I went for lunch. We started with the most delicious cornbread I've ever had in a skillet. Then I ate the Wrightwood salad so hearty and tasty.

Late post We celebrated our aunt's 88th birthday yesterday and had a private room reserved. The space is clean, and the ambiance and decor are modern. Parking is ample. The staff is warm and welcoming. Although I cannot remember the names of our servers for the evening, they were pleasant and very accommodating. From time to time, other staff came in to assist. We had a prefixed menu served family style. For appetizers, we had their mini filet sliders and Wrightwood salad. Our two entrees were rotisserie chicken and salmon. The sides were mashed potatoes and charred broccolini. For dessert, we had their skillet cookie. Cocktails were separate, and hubby and I ordered our usual amaretto stone sour. Everything was tasty, but there was nothing of a wow factor. It is a great neighborhood establishment, and by the time we left, around dinner time, it was getting crowded. They have a Lincoln Park location, too, and when we are back in the city, we wouldn't mind visiting them to try their brunch menu. read more

I had food from here many times delivered or pick up. It was our first visit dining in. The server Lily was nice, interior is pleasant, facility was clean and nice to be in with family or friends. Food was nice too. Some items are pricey for its taste, like the prime rib quality, the potato bacon croquette, or filet sliders, and I had extra salad dressing that tiny portion of extra dressing was 5$, but my kid really likes their mahimahi sandwich. We will still order some items to go from time to time especially during Lent. My kids love their mahimahi sandwiches. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got to with a good friend! We decided to go for Brunch, which is only on weekends until 2pm. They are located right on the corner but have a parking lot. The restaurant wasn't too crowded but we were still seated right in between 2 other tables. I would have preferred to have moved and should have asked. It was hard to talk and we were smashed at a small table where it lacked a ton of privacy. Our server was very friendly and helpful with questions - explaining the restaurant and popular items. We decided to start with the Monkey Bread with cream cheese frosting! It was really good - like a pull apart cinnamon roll. We also got a Traditional Breakfast, Wrightwood Salad, and a side of fries with ranch. Everything was pretty good! The hashbrowns with the breakfast were really good almost like a creamy casserole. The fries were crispy and seasoned- however the smoky dipping sauce wasn't my favorite. The salad dressing had a great flavor but I wish there were more toppings in the salad. The salad was still enjoyable. We would go back back- overall experience 4/5. read more

I attended an event in Skokie during which lunch was provided by Crosby's Private Events & Catering, an arm of their restaurant biz. The main entrée, wood-fired rotisserie chicken, disappointed because it was all dried out. In fact, much of it went uneaten. It was accompanied by rigatoni in vodka sauce and mashed potatoes. Both had cooled to room temperature and the 'canned heat' was not sufficient to rewarm. The house salad was excellent, but unfortunately this ran out before everyone got served. An abundance of leftover dressing caused us to wonder if a tray of salad got left behind at the restaurant. Very good cornbread, however cornbread does not a meal make. read more

Came here on a Friday evening. I made reservations but didn't seem like they were necessary. We were seated inside but it was freezing cold in there with the air blowing right down on us. Our server though, she was so nice and accommodating she moved us outside which was awesome. Ordered the prime rib and steak salad with spinach artichoke dip as an app. Dip was decent, the prime rib was not, and the greens on the salad were bitter. My issue with the prime rib was that the edges were too well done, the cut itself was a very small portion(i did not finish it due to hogging the dip and half a bucket of popcorn from the movie we watched earlier). Mashed potatoes were good. Horseradish had some weird sweetness to it that it couldve done without. Our bill for those 3 items and a diet coke came out to 110$. Def felt like I got ripped off but whatever, you live and you learn right? I can't recommend this place. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because our server was very friendly and did a great job, and that goes a long way. read more

My friends and I returned for lunch. The parking was still very crowded, but definitely felt more spacious inside with less people. My friends enjoyed their burgers, I just ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer (so good, so flavorful), and someone else ordered a salad. Our server was very friendly, very efficient, and brought out a dessert for our friend's birthday. Our booth was spacious, we had an enjoyable lunch. 4.5 stars read more

Our first time here. Our server was polite and let us know that Crosby's is known for their rotisserie chicken, prime rib beef and baby back ribs. The menu is not expansive - which was fine with me. She also helped me with gluten free options. Fries, mashed potatoes and potato chips are gluten free. They also have gluten free buns for burgers. +$3 for gluten free buns. We had an enjoyable dinner experience. The ambience is inviting, our server was great and the food was good! My only call out would be the fries were salty (I still ate them cuz they were good - just a tad too much salt) and my prickly pear margarita was toooooooo sour. Bartender was kind enough to remake it. There's a parking lot, however it is always packed. If you're in the area, check them out! You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been wanting to try Crosby's for a while since the establishment looks really nice on the outside and the reviews have been pretty decent. I was looking forward to the rock shrimp tempura appetizer and the cornbread based on reviews and photos. Unfortunately the tempura shrimp must have been a seasonal item, as it's not on the menu. There is now a grilled shrimp option, called calypso shrimp, which I reluctantly ordered along with the cornbread. The appetizers came out in less than 10 minutes. We had no silverware. We had to wait 5 or so minutes before they brought it to us. The shrimp came to the table and was really underwhelming. It is 5 pieces of shrimp. The flavor was okay. I found the components of the dish to really not be that cohesive. You tasted some warm notes in the seasoning on the shrimp - mostly allspice or cloves. I didn't taste coconut. The calypso sauce was a mix of sweet, spicy and mustard. It wasn't appealing as it looked like squiggles of yellow mustard, and the pineapple salsa didn't do anything for the dish. The flavor was just okay. Boring, and did not want to reach for another piece after the first. Not worth $3.75 a piece. The cornbread had good flavor but it wasn't moist. It was crumbly and a little on the dryer side. Also, for being served in a skillet, it was only lightly warm. It would have been more enjoyable if it was hot. The butter was pretty good. I was really hoping that this would knock my socks off, but as I was eating it, I was trying to convince myself that it was better than it was because I was worried that the underwhelming first course was foreshadowing what was next to come. I ordered the salmon, and my boyfriend ordered the 1/2 chicken. Our waitress came back to the table and let me know that they were out of broccolini and if I'd like asparagus. Fine by me. The food came out pretty fast. The salmon plate was very boring. Just a piece of salmon on the plate with a pile of asparagus. Nothing aesthetic for $28, and it looked a little small. The asparagus was inedible. No char or color or anything, they were just smoked and the smoke flavor was so incredibly strong. I left it on the plate. The salmon was good. It had a great crispy edge and good flavor. I would have liked a little more sauce. My boyfriend's half chicken was a little on the smaller side, and it was suppose to come with mashed potatoes. It arrived to the table with fries instead of mash. He was looking forward to mashed potatoes as it was an entree and we were trying to eat a nice dinner, but instead got some dry shoestring fries, which were warm, not hot and most of the fries were crispy little pieces like the fries that end up at the bottom of the fry container. The chicken had good flavor but was definitely a bit shriveled up like it was ready a while ago and has been on the warmer. The food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't very good. The portions were small and expensive for the quality of food you're receiving. There was a 3% service charge added to the bill. I paid with cash and they only gave me the dollars and didn't give me the coins. Not a big deal but I had to laugh about how we were constantly getting ripped off. Our server was really kind but overall service seemed pretty laid back and on the slow end just upon watching tables while we were there. Maybe people come here to sit around and the servers are therefore less hurried. The host was also really kind, and the staff that brought us our orders brought our food with smiles. I found everyone to be friendly. I did not find this meal to be worth $100+ and don't think I would be giving Crosby's another try unfortunately. Wildly we both arrived home and asked eachother if we were even full, and we weren't. lol read more

Sister restaurant to the popular Crosby's Kitchen Southport, Crosby's Kitchen Niles opened in 2024, serving up Midwestern inspired American fare in a comfortable setting. We came here to celebrate our niece's First Communion, and the restaurant did a good job of hosting our group of 7 adults and 3 young children. We had reservations at 1:00 and were promptly seated in a comfortable booth/table combo (requiring the folks on the inside to ask people to move if they needed to get out...though the youngsters just sneaked under the table to try to get away...it's a kid friendly restaurant). The brunch menu is available during the weekend, which limited the items we could order, but everyone found their choice. Our host started us off by ordering a variety of appetizers: Monkey Bread (tasted and looked more like fresh baked cinnamon rolls than what I was used to; it was good), Blueberry Cornbread (nice big pieces of blueberry), bacon & potato croquettes (a very good rendition...a must have if you love croquettes), and black bean chicken chili (really liked this dish...I ended up eating most of it myself: reminded me of a very good fat free chicken chili I used to always eat at work). He also ordered a nice bottle of Bodegas Pinord Dibon (a rose cafa from Spain). As a whole, most folks liked their main entrees. I ordered a Seared Ahi Tuna Salad with mixed greens and a loin of seared rare ahi tuna. The tuna tasted a lot better than it looked, rare on the inside but an unappetizing gray (instead of blackened) on the outside. It was a small amount, so glad that I had filled up on appetizers beforehand. The kids ordered simple kids pancakes ($10). My wife ordered a cheeseburger with fries, which she said was OK. Service was interesting. Our waitress was very attentive, but also very a bit aggressive and overly loud, to speak over the perceived din to be heard (though, it wasn't THAT loud inside). I thought I was the only one with this observation, but others mentioned it afterwards. She did provide us everything we asked for, which is the main ingredient of good service. read more

If you want southern comfort food, this might be the closest you'll get to it in the suburbs. This place reminded me of pearls kitchen in the city (which unfortunately closed). We started off with the cornbread and bacon/potato croquettes. The croquettes were delicious for the aoli, to the point we asked for more aoli! The cornbread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which was delicious. My husband got the wrightwood salad which was delicious, kind of reminds you of a southwestern salad. I got the the French dip sandwich which was our favorite part of the dinner. I'd definitely come back just for this. The prime rib was stacked and so good and add the horseradish cream and an jus, it just brought everything together! We came about a hour before closing and we were so happy they still sat us and served us! The food came out super quick. read more

Was out in the area and trying to find a nearby brunch place when we came across Crosby's Kitchen.

Excited to try this new place in an area I grew up in . Perfect location for a family brunch. I was here for a special Easter Brunch , which highly recommended you're looking for a local place . Food was perfect variety and very delicious . The highlight of the brunch buffet for me was the lamb it was perfectly cooked and my table could not stop raving about it and the oysters and shrimp cocktail . Loved the blood Mary bar to add some delicious fix in. Mimosa was perfect ratio . Loved that there was an omelette bar too. The kids enjoyed the Easter hunt on the patio with the Easter bunny .

Crosbys kitchen has sooo!!! Much potential. The place is adorable. Great patio. Great dining environment and a huge bar. The food ... was hit or miss. We ordered the spinach dip as an app. It was delicious but... they simply did not give you enough chips. I wanted the brussel sprouts salad... we ordered and then 5 minutes later we were told they were out. Okay no problem, what's the catch of the day... well there isn't one, but I can get a shrimp app... Okay so I order the tuna salad. It was amazing! Yumm! And not too much food perfect for a light meal. My husband ordered 1/2 slab of ribs. He was underwhelmed by the size and overall taste. My daughter ordered the pasta with burrata, spinach and mushrooms. It sounded amazing on the menu but had little flavor. So 3 stars it is. It was good not great. read more

I've been to Crosby's multiple times and ordered several meals here without complaints. However this particular time, my husband had ordered the prime rib. Although it was the most expensive item on the menu, it had the texture of leather and mediocre taste. He stated it was the worst meal he's ever had for the price. When our waiter came by, he did not ask anything about the dish, even though it was the only one left on the table at the end of the meal. We thought he would ask if it tasted alright, but all he asked was if we wanted a box to which we said no. On a positive note, me and my daughters' meals, the steak frites and chicken dip sandwich, were tasty. The fries were crunchy and well seasoned. I would also like to add that the skillet cookie was very delicious which is why it's three stars. If or when we come to Crosby's Kitchen again, we will not be ordering the Prime Rib. read more

I only had one complaint: the "volume level." It was very loud in my book. I asked three separate persons to turn down the volume, but not much happened. The food and service were very good; our server was very knowledgeable about the menu items and made good suggestions. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which were smothered in gravy, very tasty, and a good portion to boot. We tried the Carrot Cake, which was very good and enough for two persons. The coffee was exceptional; it was very fresh and of good quality. read more

Friendly and quick service, the restaurant is cozy, and the food is great. We tried the: Soup of the day (shrimp and corn chowder, $8) Skillet cornbread ($12) Filet sliders ($18) Crab cakes ($38?) This was too much food for 2 people! The cornbread was moist and sweet, but for 2 ppl, we only ate 1/4 of it. The soup was AWESOME, if it were a bigger portion I would eat that as my entree. The sliders were super tender! Next time I may ask for cheddar cheese instead of blue cheese. The CRAB CAKES WERE DELISH! It's expensive but it's ALL CRAB, huge chunks. I didn't like the Cole slaw tho, it was pretty bitter. read more

Stumbled in here for restaurant week. What a happy surprise! The pork appetizer and the sliders were wonderful! The seasoning on the pork was over the top spicy, sweet, salty and of course the fat of the pork...yummy! The sliders(you get 2) were delicious. For entree we had the chicken dip sandwich yum! And for slightly healthier the salmon with asparagus...so delicious seasoned very well and a beautiful size portion, it was just fabulous. I couldn't help thinking if the salmon were prepared like the pork appetizer it would be OMG! For desert we had key lime pie and carrot cake. The carrot cake had spiced nuts on top, very nice....and the key lime pie crust was delish! All of that and a friendly and helpful server...we will be back for sure. read more
