I came in to try that NY strip steak sandwich that people have been raving about on Google. The…read moreverdict is the hype is real. The NY strip steak is very tender and flavorful. It's like a medium rare burger, it requires very little chewing. It's the combination of the French roll, the steak, the grilled onions, and Asiago cheese that truly make it just a great sandwich. Even after devouring it, it's still on my mind and I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu. Customer service is very friendly and attentive. You can tell they care about their customers. Parking is easy, you just have to go into that big lot to the right. Prices are very fair for the quality of meat.

This place was a vibe! A first time for me, I attended a private event here and thought it to be…read moresuch an interesting venue to host a big seated dinner. Very unassuming, considering it's just your good ol' neighborhood butcher shop / market by day. Off the bat you can tell they carry clean, wholesome products. The shelves and fridges are stacked with the likes of fresh meat cuts, house-made sauces, cheese, jams, pickled goods... the list goes on. I can only imagine their deli sandwich are incredible. I'll have to return to order from their regular cafe next time I'm in town. The event however, wow very well done and the menu was stacked. Their sweet staff kept bringing out family-style dishes and I didn't have a single bite that wasn't delicious. From the butcher's steak to the mussels and everything in between. Oh and the night finished with some kind of apple/cranberry pot pie situation. Wow. Oh and plenty of wine and cocktail options here too! Like plentyyyy. Keeping this place on my radar for when I'm next in the city. Thanks for having us!

I wanted to like publican, but overall thought it was just okay. The portions are quite large, but…read moreis missing the finishing touches that are thoughtful to the customer. For example with my mussels, rather than this large chunk of baguette, I wouldn't preferred it pre-sliced. We went on a busy Saturday night and it was popping in here for sure. However because it was so busy, my table ended up being neglected and our waitress was impossible to flag down. In terms of vibes, it seems like a pretty cool place to be. I liked the chairs and then the little booths seem like a fun time. I was also a big fan of the bathroom sink. Overall, Publican was a fine time, and even better time if you're looking for meat forward dishes.

We got the sliced brisket, pulled pork sandwich, cornbread, and mac and cheese, and everything was excellent. The meats were smoky, flavorful, and really satisfying, with that rich barbecue flavor that makes you want to keep going back for another bite. The mac and cheese was especially delicious and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The atmosphere is also a big part of what makes this place stand out. It has a cool, casual vibe that makes it great for hanging out with friends, grabbing a laid back meal, or bringing people from out of town who want a memorable Chicago food spot. It was also a really nice bonus that they offer unlimited soda refills, which made the meal even better. The portions were generous, everything felt well worth the price, and the whole experience lived up to expectations. Definitely a spot I'd gladly come back to again.

I don't know why the meats at Joseph's are better than that at any grocery store.....but they are. We don't eat too much red meat but when we do, we get it at Joseph's. Always a smile and willingness to cut what we want the way we want it. Always a dinner delight.
