    Regular fast food joint. Food is fresh place is clean. I always get the Grilled Chicken sandwich on garlic bread. Delicious! I haven't tried their breakfast yet. Will do soon 11.8.17 UPDATE I finally got their breakfast it was fast and fresh for $6. Can't beat that!

    An order of fries, burger, and a gyro.

    Tried this place this weekend and it was very delicious. Sometimes you just want a delicious, throwback burger that is charbroiled and juicy. Come here. Is it the cheapest place? No, is it incredibly expensive, no. Though nestled in the industrial corridor of Elston Ave.; it is in between Lincoln Park and WIcker Park/ Bucktown, add city taxes, and you've got these prices. It's a 'greasy spoon' type of diner, lots of fast food options. We tried the burgers, fries, and the gyros. All were very good; the burger and gyros were nice and juicy, the fries were good (though I am sure if they were frozen of freshly made). They advertise their charbroiled chicken which I am interested in trying next. The place seemed very clean and super organized. The accouterments behind the counter were so organized it made my OCD heart smile.

    Only got a few minutes for lunch? Want fast service? What a hardy meal? Well you're looking at the right review. Let's keep in mind that this little café is the evil little brother from the Stanley's produce market. Their luscious and delicious meals are geared for the lunch crowded... This is not fine dining... simply order and go! I had the strip steak (please reference the picture) and had a hard time finishing it. Their portions are king! Their décor is a seamless modern America dinner/café... something small but clean Their service could use some improvement... I really don't have much to say about this please... a great place for lunch, but I will never take a date here.

    The burger was good, I was in a happy place eating it and was almost finished before noticing the entire place was crawling with ants and some other type of bug. I got a few pictures too of the ants. Kind of scares me thinking of what is in their kitchen

    Little Bad Wolf - Bad Burger and a side of mac and cheese

    Little Bad Wolf

    (2.6k reviews)

    Andersonville, Edgewater

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

    The Loop

    Being a California boy (born and raised) my only way to get a Fish & Chip meal was at a fast food…read morefranchise called H. Salts Fish & Chips; and it was fairly good. Several golf trips to the U.K. (Britain, Scotland, Wales) I got my fair share of excellent Fish & Chips; the best being in Ullapool, Scotland at The Seafood Shack I have never had better! But, leave it to Chicago to deliver some of the best fish and chips I've ever had in the USA, here at The Dearborn restaurant in the Chicago loop. Everything about The Dearborn's signature dish just worked in every way: The fish was fried perfectly The fish itself was moist and delicious The chips (fries) were excellent The coleslaw was the perfect side dish The tartar sauce was scrumptious My Krobacher Pilsner paired perfectly with my dinner The service was spot on And sitting at the bar watching the NBA playoffs didn't hurt either. I did have a scoop of delicious salted caramel gelato that finished this meal perfectly. Having such delicious fish & chips a few blocks away from where I live is certainly better than flying "over the pond" (a British term for the Atlantic Ocean).

    This is an excellent spot for a special occasion! I visited recently with a large group for brunch…read moreand we had a great experience all around. Regardless of the time of day and especially during peak hours, I would definitely recommend making a reservation to air on the safe side. The staff prepared our table super quickly and was very attentive- they really went above and beyond throughout the meal. I do not recommend skipping the drinks! I ordered the seasonal Si Se Puede, Tia mezcal cocktail, which was quite spicy and perfectly sweet. For appetizers, we shared the parkerhouse rolls. The rolls were soft and buttery with a delicious whipped butter spread. For the main dish, I ordered the Dearborn Burger. It was solid overall and the portion size was very generous. I tried the fish and chips as well which were excellent. Would definitely order this next time! For dessert, we tried the sticky toffee date cake. I liked that it was not too heavy, and the Heath bar crumbles added a nice crunch. My only wishlist would be to have more of that delicious sauce to scoop up! We left with ample leftovers and in high spirits. Definitely looking forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu!
