5 stars for consistently interesting/delicious dishes, excellent service, and a lovely/moody atmosphere. I love sharing dishes here with my partner - there's something for everyone. We recently enjoyed a sweet potato dish that I'm STILL thinking about days later. The menu changes consistently but always includes some staples. A good selection of spirit-free bevvies, which I always appreciate. We got two desserts at our recent visit - the French Fry Ice Cream was fun and decadent, Olive Oil Cake was delicious and refreshing. read more

Michelin bib establishment located across the street from the affordable housing apartment complex. I loved getting corrected on pronounciation of latke several times. This place is known for alcohol drinks. That is what you should get if you're forced to come here for social obligations. Food is weird fusion-americana that made me grimace and choose not to order anything myself at the table. It's food for people that think they know what fine food is. Another person in our group did the same and only ordered a beverage. Staff do not have uniform, dress code or wear classic black. A big, oversized tshirt thrown over pants is good enough here for them. read more

This spot is a neighborhood favorite for a reason! From delicious drinks to inventive dishes, it's definitely a place you'll want to add to your hit list. It's popular and can get pretty crowded, so for a walk-in I recommend getting there early. At around 4:30pm on a Friday, I was able to snag a seat at the bar, but it was already starting to fill up. The staff was very attentive and friendly, patiently providing recommendations. They specialize in whiskey drinks, so I recommend giving one of these a try. I opted for the Gold Rush, which was generously poured and surprisingly refreshing. It wasn't too sweet and I enjoyed the light citrus flavor. The food rotates regularly, so there's always a chance to try something new. This time, I ordered the lamb kefta and the charred sweet potato. The kefta was super tender and an explosion of flavors! The garlic chips, spicy tomato-based puree, and pickled onions made it among the best I've ever had. The sweet potato was interesting but a bit light on texture. I felt there could had been some more crunch (maybe nuts, seeds or pomegranate?) and felt that the citrus in the aioli was a bit overpowering. The fried kale on top was delicious, though- I'm not a huge kale fan, but I could snack on these alone. All in all, this was a great experience. I'm looking forward to returning and highly recommend making the trek over here! read more

They have a great selection of beer, and the food was excellent as well. We went earlier in the day, so there was no wait, which was nice. I've heard it can get pretty busy after work hours and on weekends, though, with longer lines. read more

A cozy brunch spot within Logan Square. We reserved for an Easter get together and were very pleased by the food. Some dishes to order are the smoked duck hash (super good!), the chicken and waffles (well-balanced and crispy), and the smoked trout terrine (with lots of cool sides for pairing). Our server was very friendly and consistently checked on us as we enjoyed some seriously good eats. Will try again but this time to drink some of their premium whiskeys, the menu of which is about three times as long as the food offerings! If you want American classics with an artisanal twist, go here, and you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been wanting to hit longman and eagle for ages as my love for chicago grows. An absolute institution, and for good reason. My friends and I, a group of 7, were able to walk in during a brunch rush on a saturday and still got sat immediately. The service was superb. Attention to detail, accommodations, everything was on point. Oh, and the food? Divine. Griddled sourdough is rich, buttery with some salted whipped butter and jam. The absolute star for me was the chicken fried steak. The caramelized onion jam gravy was insane. Slightly sweet, amazing texture, and still crazy rich. You also can't miss their breakfast sandwich with.... Wait for it..... bacon wrapped maple sausage!!!! You're probably thinking wtf is that. We were too, don't over think it. It is a delicacy and the type of stuff dreams are made of. The restaurant is beautiful and huge! Rustic, simple, homey. Just one of those spaces people from all walks of life feel at home. And, home it is! read more

food = 8/10!!! drinks = a liiiitle strong for me and I'm not a huge whisky drinker so I settled for some wine :) service = also really good, and hospitable! was here for a team dinner and we were a laaarge party. got here around 6:30 but left closer to 10 because of how spaced out each meal was. it felt we were waiting a while but I heard that perhaps this is the vibe they were going for? anyway, I really enjoyed the food we were just all collectively getting a little hungry and antsy by the time the plates actually started to arrive. again, maybe its bc we were a large party. I'll have to try again next time!! read more

Ate, did not sleep. Had a nice time. It was not cheap. Server was VERY nice and accommodating. Music was tasteful and not very loud (thank you!). Very dimly lit, to the point that it was a little hard to read the menu. Duck liver mousse - My wife loved it, said it was maybe the best liver mousse she'd ever had. I'm not a big fan but the flavor with the jam was well balanced and the waffle was a very good pairing. It's pretty funky stuff. Bone marrow - apparently we don't like marrow... it's almost pure fat. Obviously not L&E's fault, but instead of strawberry-balsamic jam, we both thought it needed less sweetness and more brightness for balance. Oof, it's heavy stuff, now I know. Squash - it was ok. Points for being interesting, and it was a pretty dish, but I wouldn't get it again. Seared cod - it was cooked well. It was cooked in brown butter, served with beurre blanc... it was too much butter for me, but that's what I asked for. I would have liked some added flavors, but I guess they were letting the fish be the star. I can't argue with that. I don't love rich food so I'll take responsibility for that. read more

Go!!

My goal is to try 50 new Chicago restaurants in 2025! Restaurant: 18/50 Month tried: March Favorite dish: Carrots, Gnocchi, Soft Pretzel Okay prefacing this review with the fact that I don't eat red meat! So scroll away if you're looking for an opinion on...most of their menu. Sorry!! I still had a great experience at Longman & Eagle, though. The non-meat options are still well thought out and unique. While my table was enjoying their burgers, I was perfectly happy with my seasonal gnocchi. And sneaking more of the roasted carrots before they noticed because they were sooo good. The space is absolutely classic Logan Square - rustic, a little hipster, a little millennial core, with cool art and super sweet servers. If I lived closer, I would absolutely come just to drink at the bar and have an app or two. I think we will be adding to the list of places to take out-of-towners, and a top spot in Logan! read more

I wasn't anticipating the food to be as delicious as it was! We ordered Mick Klug Farms asparagus, kanpachi crudo, and Parisienne gnocchi for dinner and all were fantastic. Three items was a great portion to share for two people. For dessert we ordered the peanut butter pie and rhubarb upside cake. They both were awesome! Each dish was unique, super flavorful, and beautifully plated. The outdoor patio was relaxing, it's a bit tucked away in the neighborhood, so nice and quiet. The service was excellent! I can't wait to come back to try some other dishes! I highly recommend! read more

Holy moly this place was perfection. Gnocchi, oysters, trout and crab, brussel sprouts (literally best I've ever had omg) French fry ice cream and chocolate mousse...I didn't take a single picture because it was dark in there but also I was too busy enjoying everything!! Trust me, go and experience this amazing restaurant and try everything that your heart desires haha. I went with my husband and our friends so we shared everything which I also recommend doing! The service was excellent, and our waiter had great drink recommendations. I loved the drink I got with mezcal in it and also the gin spritz. Make sure you save this place for your next trip to Chicago! read more

Good food, good service. The place is small and it was very crowded when we got there. It a nice place to go with friends.

We came here for brunch (twice!) on a recent trip to Chicago. I initially had this on my list of places to try because they have an extensive whiskey list for my husband, but it turns out their food is amazing too. I ordered the Pears & Burrata and we shared a side of the latke hashbrowns with smoked apple butter. The pear and burrata was such a magical combination, I ordered it both times we went. As for the hashbrowns, I loved the new twist on an old favorite, but the apple butter was a little too smoky for my taste. I preferred them on their own or dipped in the pear/burrata sauce! The service was also really friendly and attentive both times. Highly recommend! read more

This has been on my list forever so I was excited to sneak onto the back patio with no wait and no reservation on a Saturday night. We kept it simple with the famous burger and fries. Burger was tasty, loved the bun and great meat flavor. The sauce wasn't my jam but I'm admittedly not a mustard fan. Fries were good, I prefer skinnier fries. Overall, tasty meal and quick. Love that the patio was dog friendly but can't say I'd go out of my way for it. I think the hype was built up a lil bit. But hey everyone has diff burger criteria so give it a try! read more

You can't go wrong with foie gras, or in this case duck liver mousse dollop in a sea of olive oil and blueberry compote with sweetened blueberries; absolutely heaven on earth. Spread that thing in the toasted focaccia also in olive oil and the perfect pairing is achieved. The bone marrow is a similar take even richer. You actually need the burrata and the peaches in between as a counter not to overwhelm your taste buds. All three dishes are excellent !!! The summer sausage was ok. read more

Had Sunday brunch at this restaurant on a beautiful Chicago morning. We sat outside on the patio which is on a side street and reasonably peaceful. This is a farm to table restaurant and I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I've had in years. The farm fresh eggs were cooked perfectly. The potatoes boiled then grilled were tasty and had the perfect crusty texture. The fresh ground sausage patties were very tasty. Not like anything you find in the store. & the homemade sourdough brioche toast was phenomenal with homemade jam. Our table also enjoyed a giant scrambled egg and cheese and potato burrito and a dish of pastrami cured lox that was "Hot smoked" to perfection. Maddie our server was excellent great personality & the bill was reasonable I wish I lived closer. I would eat here every day. read more

Outstanding food - like Midwest down to earth comfort food but with a contemporary cuisine twist. Phenomenal service. Lily, Sean, and Kevin provided an exceptional experience. Can't say enough about how well this team worked together to deliver a great evening. The only complaint would be the atmosphere. A little loud, and very very very dark. Turn up the lights people! read more

So weak. What the hell. They get a big gourmand and it goes totally down hill. Waited 2 hours for a burger and sloppy joe that were both over cooked. Was so excited to come here and let majorly disappointed. The duck breast was weak too read more

Finished the night with an undisclosed 20% service charge on a party of 4 adults with a 10 month and 3 year old.. The kids were not eating, and the incredibly rude server Lily could not remember the 3 years olds OJ without being reminded. Lily started the night telling us we could not consolidate tables to a normal 6 top to be closer to family. She proceeded to force us to add a table after consolidating as she was no where to be found so she could "have room to get to her other tables", leaving my mother stranded at one end. Other customers 3 times her size had no issue passing through the arrangement she made a scene over. She then made a point that we were not allowed to order a la carte and had to order all of the tapas style plates at once. She was kind enough to make a point of her making an exception when we ordered chips/dip while waiting for the rest of our party that was just a few minutes behind us. We barely saw Lily after placing orders, aside from her blatant scowling at the bar. Fortunately the busser who was very friendly kept our tables clean and waters refreshed. We expected to have a nice night out, Lily seemed to do everything she could to prevent that from happening. I would not suggest dining here with such rude staff on the team. We won't be going back and my brother in law will not be hosting private events here any longer after this experience. read more

The cocktails were great but the vibes were a little weird. Came here to grab drinks and catch up with a friend. We arrived at a weird time, around 4 pm, so not quite dinner, not quite lunch. We walked in to the inside of this place which was virtually empty, but the host still insisted we take several steps back behind his podium. Alright, sure thing. Then he asked if we were here for drinks or food, we said drinks and maybe something to share. The host then informed us the kitchen was closed and went to walk away as if we weren't still going to stay... We were like that's totally fine man, just drinks then. He then looked around the completely empty restaurant (including the exterior) and made us feel like a pretty big inconvenience. We could tell this guy was getting stressed, so we assured him we'd be out of here in an hour or two absolute max, we had a plane to catch. Once we were seated outdoors the experience was great. Strong cocktails, a cocktail menu that has the staples plus a few creative twists, and a solid happy hour discount which we appreciated. read more

Super cute spot! Sat outside on the patio and our waiter was very nice and gave a bunch of recommendations. To start we got the sour cream and onion dip. Unfortunately they forgot to bring it out and finally brought it out halfway through our entree. This was interesting. Chips were good but dip was eh. Didn't taste like sour cream and onion and had a yogurt texture. They also cleared this from our table when we had a lot left without asking us which was a bummer. For my main I had the sloppy Joe. This was great! Full of flavor and I love the jalapeños on it! Fries were good. Our waiter recommended the pepper aioli. He didn't mention it costs extra! It also just tasted like mayo. I would come back for a drink! read more

I came here with a friend for Chicago Restaurant Week for lunch. They don't take reservations so it's first come-first serve. We came here around noon on a Saturday and it was busy. We put our name on the waitlist and they told us 30-40 min wait. But 5 min later they texted us that our table was ready so we got lucky! The place is spacious. There are two rooms in the back. I will def come back here to try their other menu items. Everything looks good here! Parsnip apple soup: wow, the best soup I ever had and I never had anything like it esp with roasted apple in a soup! The crispy parsnip adds a nice texture to the soup. The soup is smooth and creamy. Highly recommend! Wild boar sloppy Joe: it comes with fries and it's a good portion but I still ate all of it, more on the salty side and the fries were like regular fries. I liked the pickled jalapeño and it was not spicy at all. The potato roll was really good. It was slightly toasted but still soft. Salted brown butter chocolate chip cookie: served warm and of course so good, but nothing too fancy. Something you can make at home. read more

Came here with my brunch crew last weekend and it was such a great time! The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the waitstaff is friendly. This was my first time here and I was told the chicken and waffles were great so that's what I ordered. The chicken and waffles comes with hot honey bourbon butter, sweet potatoes, bacon and pecans. There were a few too many potatoes for my liking but it was all very tasty. Trying to cut down on carbs, so I didn't eat too many of the potatoes! Both my friend and I were celebrating birthdays and our server brought us a birthday donut which I thought was really nice! If you are a coffee lover, they don't offer much in terms of coffee but the regular beverage selection is decent. The mimosas were good too. Overall this is a nice spot if you are looking to dine in the Logan Square area! read more

Longman & Eagle was our savior when we really needed it. I flew into Chicago the night we came here and I was delayed. We had a reservation elsewhere and it was clear we were not going to make it in time. I looked at some other fine dining-type places and they all seemed to close around 9 or 10, so we had to pivot to something more casual. I went through my trusty restaurant and bar spreadsheet and settled on Longman & Eagle, both for the food and the whiskey. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but we were honestly blown away by everything, especially the food. Drinks are great, whiskey list is dizzying, service is wonderful. Easy five stars. We came here at around 9:30/9:45 on a Thursday night. Given that it was late, we had no issues getting a table. I had an annoying travel day plus a pinched nerve so I was not in the best mood which meant I was very excited to drink. This happens to be a very good place to do just that. Even though this is a whiskey spot, we actually opted for two non-whiskey drinks for our first round. I got the Bean-Tini with gin (Letherbee Gin, House Dilly Bean Brine, Orange Bitters) and my partner got the Thai Collins (Letherbee Gin, Ford's Gin, Makrut Lime Leaf, Lemongrass, Lime, Thai Basil). The server who brought them over to us said they were her favorite two drinks on the menu, so we were pleased with ourselves for intuiting that. Both drinks were delicious and unique. Any dirty martini variation is a friend of mine and this one featuring bean brine and a bean garnish was fun. Our server recommend the Logan Boulevardier (Sazerac 6 Year Rye, Cocchi di Torino, Campari, Angostura) for my second drink which was also a great choice. I'd never had a Boulevardier with this rye before so it was nice to taste the subtle differences this rye brings. My partner and I split a rye at the end of the meal which was spiced and toasty and amazing yet somehow I cannot remember what it was -- I just know it came highly recommended and we could see why. Food-wise, despite having more of a bar vibe, Longman and Eagle boasts a formidable dinner menu. We got two appetizers and two entrees and split everything, and it was plenty of food. Eats, below: Simple Greens Salad w/ Werp Greens, Herbs, Radish, Cucumber, Rosé Vinaigrette: A Simple but not boring. We wanted to make sure to get some veggies in this meal so this was an easy choice. Veggies were fresh (the radishes in particular were great) and the dressing was flavorful but light. Asparagus and Feta (Klug Farm Asparagus, Pistachio Crusted Feta, Jalapeño Honey, Olive Vinaigrette): A+ This absolutely blew us away. The combo was just unreal. The spicy honey, the decadence of the feta, just beyond flavorful. Definitely more feta than there is asparagus which we were not expecting -- not an issue, just a note. Green Garlic and Gruyere Pork Sausage w/ Braised Cannellini Beans, Hakuri Turnip, Crispy Kraut: A When in Chicago, get a big hunk of meat, right? The sausage was super flavorful and rich and paired very well with the kraut. I'm not big into beans but these were solid. Halibut and Clams w/ Asparagus, Grilled Spring Onion, Confit Potato, Nduja Sauce: A+ The other showstopper of the night. The nduja sauce was really what elevated everything else in the dish and just generally made the preparation unique. I'm not sure I got a single clam because my partner could not get enough of them, but all other aspects were excellent. read more

I love the ambiance here. Great food and a fantastic whiskey selection. Definitely get one of their whiskey flights.

Went for brunch, it's a limited menu but both items were amazing. The butternut Squash with a side of the biscuits were to die for. The sloppy joe was flavorful and the pickled jalapeño gave it something extra. Our server was supper friendly. Would definitely go back. read more

Had a great brunch with 2 other girls on Sunday morning. We didn't have to wait for a table and service was outstanding. We ordered coffee $3, mimosas $10 each. I was disappointed that mimosas came in a regular diner cup rather than a glass. Here's the food order: -house cured salmon ($14) crispy potato cake, herbed schmear, roe: it was so good. The flavor of herbed schmear made the dish stand out. I could eat this every day. -crispy seasoned breakfast potatoes ($6): I would skip it. Wanted a side but it was too dry. -beets & burrata ($19) hazelnut aillade, horseradish, tarragon, toasted focaccia: perfect balance with all the ingredients. I would order again -blueberry lemon donut ($5): was more like a dessert to our brunch so it was nice to finish with this -old fashioned donut ($5): too dry read more

We had the pleasure of visiting Longman & Eagle last night just as they were starting last call. We'd come for drinks and looked at the menu ahead of time so we knew what we wanted. Our bartender, Aaron, listened to what we were looking for and suggested even better options that what we'd originally thought. The drinks were great! We especially want to give a shout out to the kitchen crew! The kitchen was nearly closed but they still made it possible for us try their Peanut Butter pie! It was so yum! Overall we had a great experience and look forward to the next time we visit...we'll come a little earlier and enjoy a full meal! read more

All potatos are having meeting. A very typical American hamburger, sandwich, and French fries. The fries are crispy and delicious. The bread of the sandwich is a bit thick; it would be better if there were more filling. My husband loves potato soup. It has a rich texture--crispy, soft, and fragrant. However, I find it a bit too salty. read more

I haven't been here in years, but brunch today was as good as I remember! We sat outside on this beautiful day, & everything we tried was so good: Vegan Cashew Onion dip w/fresh chips Fried Chicken & Waffles Pastrami Lox & Bagel Breakfast Sammich They house make all their breads - so the bagel w/the lox & the english muffin in the breakfast sammich were freshly baked. The sweet/salty in these dishes was so perfectly balanced. And that vegan dip! So creamy, so perfect w/their fresh chips! The table next to us got a raised donut w/everything bagel seasoning on it! We were intrigued but too full to try. Their other donuts - black & white (like cookie) was tempting too. This place has been here a long time, & the quality of their food has remained excellent!

always on the hunt for a good burger, and i had heard good things about Longman & Eagle. first will say that it's a bit tricky to find since it doesn't have blatant signage out front, but once inside it's got a cute cozy neighborhood vibe. seating was pretty straightforward (went for brunch on a saturday and didn't have to wait too long). now for the star: their double smashburger. honestly it was a solid burger that came with a mountain of fries. they also gave a giardiniera aioli that was on the burger & came as sauce for the fries ( very delicious!). i would recommend if you want a great smashburger; they also had other interesting meat-based menu items that i will try next time i go back. read more
