I get The Trib every day for the last four years (I've lived in Chicago), the same with Chicago Magazine, Chicago Infatuation, Chicago Eater and ten more news feeds concerning food, restaurants and provisions. So how the hell did Table, Donkey and Stick slip under my radar for such a long time? How could a restaurant this good, not be upfront and personal in a city touting its restaurant scene? Leave it to my son and his fiance to lure me and my wife to a restaurant like Table, Donkey and Stick with cuisine this sophisticated; wow is all I can say. There is nothing fancy or complicated going on here and that's fine by me. For me it's always about my experience in a restaurant and T.D.S. passed my criterion by a mile! The menu here is not definable as it has cuisines from everywhere, but I'm feeling "Austrian" here: * The Trout Rillettes had shallots, dill and lemon that were sensational * The Coppa was dried cured-pork, fennel and garlic - crazy good * The Rabbit & Bacon Terrine had black truffles, garlic and pastis that just knocked me out * Duck Fat Potato Galette with yukon gold, sweet potato, cauliflower, thyme and parmesan shortbread - phenomenal * Lamb Meatballs - made the completely right way * Apple / Turnip Salad - Fantastic * Pork Schnitzel - was the "Kicker" that made me feel like I was in Vienna * Pappardelle - with rabbit ragu - beyond good * Desserts we had Sticky Pudding and a Cranberry Tart that was an unparalleled finish to a championship dinner! Their bar kept the level of this restaurant so elevated that I can't put anymore distinction than I have (oh wait - yes I can) except for the service that was equally wonderful. A "shocker" this grand happens very seldomly; but when it does happen, it takes a chisel to knock the smile off of my face! read more

Great service and the menu was solid. LOVED the smoked trout dish and the pork Shnitzel. This place is honestly a pretty good value for the price which is getting rarer everyday. Def coming back. One star taken away because wow does sound not travel well in here - it gets very loud very easily and hard to hear the person across the table. read more

I came to Table, Donkey and Stick with some friends back during Restaurant Week to try it out. My overall experience was just OK, although maybe I just didn't order the right stuff. When I walked in, the environment was lively even though the space itself was quite tight. It did feel very cozy, like being in a Swiss cabin. To start, our table got some meat and cheese with baguette. The baguette was delightfully crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, a perfect accompaniment for the charcuterie! We also added some other dishes to try, such as the potato latkes and the scallop carpaccio. The latkes are good, but start getting old pretty fast. The scallops were fresh and I enjoyed them. Next, I got some beef on skewers, which were a bit overcooked for me. I also didn't like the pickled veggies on top. Finally, for the main course I got the duck confit which was WAY too salty. The duck confit itself was salty, the cured pork belly that came with the dish was salty, and the wild rice was salty. I honestly struggled to take more than a few bites of it. For the price point of this restaurant, I expected better quality control over salt levels. Most of the dishes were actually pretty decent, but the main course was a disaster for me. I might come back one day for the charcuterie since that was great and perhaps what they're more known for, but for now I'm still trying to erase the memory of that salt from my head. Food: 2.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: 3.25/5 read more

I really enjoyed the alpine cabin vibe. It was cute and rustic and very cozy. The staff were also very friendly and very helpful. We started with one cheese and one charcuterie, which ended up being my least favorite part of the meal, which is rather surprising for me. The duck liver mousse and soft cheese were both fine, but neither stood out compared to the rest of the meal. We followed that with three small plates, all of which were super tasty. My favorite was definitely beef cheek croquettes. I really enjoyed the mushrooms and the spices and how they tasted with the beef cheek. The roasted squash was my next favorite. I really like balance of squash and sausage and how the fennel taste permeated the whole dish. I did get one or two bites of banana pepper that I didn't love, but overall the dish was really tasty. We also got the apple and sweet onion pork belly which also was pretty good and I really liked the apple and pork combo. I've had pork belly where the texture was a little better with a crispier outside and softer inside, but it was still very good. The large plates were actually my favorite part of the meal. My absolute favorite was the pappardelle. It was so creamy and the noodles were so soft. The meat was soft and tender and fit right in. The chicken was also super good. The jus was excellent with the wild rice and the mushrooms were a really nice touch. read more

Neighborhood gem for Old World wines and adventurous dining. Be sure to try the chicken liver mousse - its some of the best of the city. Many years they do an Offal Menu for Halloween - not for the faint of heart! Excellent cocktails, too. read more

Our dinner was a great experience. First of all this restaurant located in regular house made to be restaurant which adds to the cozy feeling. The service is great and they have few communal tables as addition to regular two person ones. They also have a corkage fee of $20 per table which is a good option if you want to bring your own bottle of wine. We tried the following dishes: POTATO LATKES--crispy potato cakes. I wish that horseradish aioli would be more significant in flavor. SLAGEL STEAK-very good quality steak on carrot puree was a nice dish. WITE ANCHOVY TOAST--it was our favorite from the small plates we tried. Good balance of flavors. BEEF CHEEK CROQUETTES--crispy, flavorful croquettes with delicious shredded beef cheek meat. PAPARDELLE-this pasta was amazing. Rabbit Ragu is something we will definitely come back for. Addition of pistachios gave it a nice crunch. PORK SCHNITZEL--perfectly fried, this is how the schnitzel supposed to be made. I was lacking saltiness like the meat was not treated properly with salt but we asked for it so overly it turned out good. Capers are also adding a bit of saltiness to it. Thank you for a nice time spent and very good food served :) read more

I visited for an early birthday dinner and this was fantastic. Service was great and ambiance was gorgeous especially out on the patio. The whole place feels like an old house converted into a restaurant! We ordered the pork schnitzel, duck liver mousse, cabra al gofio goat's milk cheese, fava bean dip, and the fried polenta. Out of these, the duck liver mousse was my absolute favorite even though they're known for their burger and schnitzel. The fava bean dip was a close second - we also ordered some of the specialty wine from that day. Really nice start to my birthday! read more

Wow- this place is incredible. The vibes are cozy, service is wonderful and the food is creative and delicious with great potion sizes. Our group of three split 4 small plates and a main and it was too much food for us, although I'll admit we are all relatively light eaters. We went fully vegetarian and had: -latkes are crispy and salty, delish and the perfect small bite -squash and pea dip was great- sort of hummus like with the most incredible fresh bread (this one in particular was a huge portion) -polenta cakes were crispy and creamy, the mushrooms paired beautifully -beets and pears were a great fresh bite to balance the richness of the other dishes -gnocchi were delicate in an incredibly creamy cheesy sauce, a true show stopper if we weren't already so full! Can't wait to come back again and try some of the meat options! read more

The food was delicious and it was great getting to try and share dishes between us. They had a dirty Shirley on the drink menu.and it was delicious enough I got several. Service was also good, as we had a hard stop for a class after and they were helpful and accommodating with advising what meals we could have in that time and helping us get out on time read more

This is a foodies restaurant! Every detail is crafted with care. Complexity presented simply, flourished with layers of flavors and freshness, you're swept away. How: choose some cheeses then order a bunch of small plates to share then order a big dish for each diner. The menu rotates and reflects the season. read more

Ok I meant to write this review back in February. This was a Valentine's Day dinner and it was way too expensive for the experience. Favorites? Beet brined deviled egg. That's about it. It was so overpriced for the value and quality of the food. I appreciate the efforts but the whole meal was flat. When we first got there for our reservation, the restaurant was empty. It started to fill up as the evening progressed but overall, we were not impressed by the dishes. My boyfriend got the glazed duck and I got the lobster bouillabaisse - I preferred his over mine. The outside of the restaurant is muted and I was sure if it was open when we first got to the door. I knew the reviews were mixed for this place and I think that was my experience as well. read more

Go to TD&S when you want evergreen quality. Through the years they have remained steadfast on their top tier quality, inventiveness, ambiance, all while staying cool, current, and down to earth. Quintessential Logan Square vibes - run by people you'd love to hang out with at an art show or house party. We truly did not leave one bite on any plate uneaten and I felt not a drop of shame. Finished off our cheese plate, beef cheek croquettes, latkes, risotto, and pork belly with a delicious freshly brewed cup of chocolatey/nutty drip coffee. I can't wait til the patio is open!!! See you again, soon. read more

If you haven't been to Table, Donkey and Stick, you're missing out. It's a Michelin Star food experience in extremely unpretentious surroundings and with an amazing, friendly, and laid-back servers. I've been three times, the most recently for Mother's Day dinner, and every experience has been one of my all time best meals. The front dining room with the bar is a bit busy, but the rear dining room and porch are comfy, and I've never felt crowded although if you're at the benches you may occasionally be brushed by a waiter passing by. For the quality of the food they could pack me in like a sausage and I wouldn't say a word. In previous visits I've had the charcuterie, and despite not eating pork I've found it to be delightful, and the staff willing to work with my restrictions. I've never had a bad cocktail here, and the first time my date and I ordered WAY more than we could eat and since they staged it out for us our waiter was generous enough to hold the last two plates we ordered (apparently he got to eat one of them for dinner, which is sweet) and I really appreciated his tolerance for our rookie mistake. The menu changes often so food reviews are ephemeral at best, but I'll post so you have an idea of how incredible your meal is going to be. This most recent time, we got the following: * Potato Latkes - you know the viral stacked potatoes that look like they'd be delicious but also look like a giant messy pain in the butt? Let them make it for you, they were unbelievable. I'd go back and eat an entire meal of just these. * Beets and Oranges - I didn't know Beets could be presented in so many different ways on a single plate. We love a beet in our house and this was divine, each individual part and the combined bite of everything. * Fried Polenta - Just enough, not too much, and the mushroom conserva on top gave it a richness that was deeply satisfying. There's no salt on the table and nothing at this restaurant ever needs more or less salt, it's always just right to complement the flavor. * Beef Cheek Croquettes - Possibly the best thing we had, it was the perfect bite, savory and satisfying in the best way. This exceeded all expectations. * Rabbit Pappardelle - Perfectly prepared, just the right balance of dressing to pasta, and the texture of the pappardelle against the ragu ingredients made for a perfect bet. * Pea Mousse - None of us were planning to have dessert, and all of us decided independently we wanted to try this before both our busser and our waiter recommended it. I'm not sure how to describe it, it had so many flavors, a crunchy sort of crouton topping, and was somehow both savory and unquestionably a dessert. It is one of the top three dessert dishes I've ever had, and it might be the best. If reading this description doesn't 1) make you hungry and 2) make you want to go there right now, then I don't know what to say. These people are lovely, they are bringing you some of the most amazing food you'll ever have, and honestly they aren't even charging that much. For all three of us, with 2 cocktails and a glass of wine, we walked out for ~$50 a person before tip. I would expect to pay at least half again as much for food of this caliber, and I would feel it was well worth it. For people new to small plates or just not sure what to expect, I recommend starting with 2 plates per person. Treat a large plate as two plates for determining your count, and if you get a charcuterie maybe start with one small plate per person and then see how much more you want. Discuss your order and try to favor things that everyone will have some of - you can always get more but the joy of excellent food is in the sharing. Table Donkey and Stick is worth a visit no matter where you're coming from. I've come for their special meal on New Years Eve and although it was a prix fixe menu it was excellent and I was not disappointed. There is no occasion I would hesitate to celebrate here, and the only reason I don't eat here more often is to keep it special as an excellent experience in a city with so much good food. read more

Table, Donkey and Stick in Logan Square is a cozy spot that brings Alpine comfort food to Chicago. I went with a friend and we started with the Duck Liver Mousse and the Swabian Pretzel--both were rich and satisfying. For mains, we had the Schnitzel and the Risotto, which were hearty and flavorful. The rustic vibe and friendly service made the experience even better. We spent about $90 before tip, and it was worth every penny. read more

Came here for restaurant week and the food DEMANDS a five star rating, but... Some might think the quirky building and seating arrangements adds to the experience. But I'm not one of them. It was extremely cold out, so their heater was running, and when it was on, it was blasting us too warm, and when it was off, it was cold. Distracting to say the least. Not comfortable. The food was TOTALLY AMAZING though and the service was great. I'm just not a fan of the physical set up. Especially for the price one pays... read more

I've been really looking forward to trying out this place, the staff was friendly and the spot itself is cute and quaint. The first few dishes we had left us feel dissapointed (the chefs charcuterie cheese and meats was not great nor was the lamb sausage we got). However the braised lamb was really flavor and tender as well as the beef cheek croquette. Ultimately, its a cute spot, but I did wish the food had a little more to offer in overall flavor. I'm not sure it's a place I'll seek out again read more

Final days of Chicago and came here for a lovely dinner which did not disappoint, even with a two year old. The latkas are awesome and unique, cocktails are perfections, and then that snitzel or however it's spelled. Holy cow outstanding and a must have. The seasonal veggies are great too. Mushroom risotto was a bit too earthy and could have used more salt, cheese, or acid to break it up. Or maybe making it a side instead of an entree. Super kind servers and great ambiance for a fun date. A bit pricier than last time I was there but definitely a solid meal. read more

If you want something different for your dining experience, this is the place. You're going to eat in a quansit (sp) hut. You might be sitting at a picnic table. Fun, right? But it's the food that will knock your socks off as well as knowledgeable and helpful servers and then, people in the kitchen who prepare fine cuisine! We were there for Chicago Restaurant Week, and that menu was fabulous! The prix fix included choices of starters, small plates ( a slight up charge for a premium plate added), and main course. No real gf choice but you won't suffer if that's what you need. Two desserts were offered, but, sad yo say, no room for it!! Bar service offered wine, beer/cider and cocktails. No frills surrounding you, but with that menu, you won't miss the lack of 'decor'. I'll be back!!! read more

This place is fine but nothing to write home about. We got two cheeses, latkes, croquettes, and schnitzel. The cheese portions were pretty small for how expensive they are. If you're looking for a cheese spot, I would just go to a Beautiful Rind which gives much larger portions. We did enjoy the croquettes, but they're pretty rich so you only really need one piece per person. The schnitzel was well fried, but wanted more flavor and a side would have been nice. The Service was good. read more

Excellent food and service. We came for restaurant week 2022. Started with the charcuterie which was my favorite course - you choose you meats and cheeses and they make a little board with bread, honey, nuts, and pickled veggies. I also thought the marinated artichoke salad was great and the artichokes were super flavorful. I had the risotto entree and it was just meh. It reminded me of super milky oatmeal. However my partner had the duck and another meat entree and said they were phenomenal. So I guess this a great spot for meat eaters but not for the veggie/chicken/fish crowd. The wine selection was excellent and the server knew so much about every bottle to help recommend one. The atmosphere was bizarre. The door is ripped apart and duct taped together and the windows are also held on with duct tape. In the seating area you're surrounded by either cardboard boxes in the back or dusty broken shelves in the front. The patio looked like a better atmosphere but it was too cold when we were there. "Hipster" was the word that came to mind for it all. So you're definitely coming for the food rather than the vibes. read more

Table Donkey and Stick specializes in food from Alpine regions, so this is a great place to check out if you want to try something unique! We came on a warm sunny day so they have a nice patio and big open windows. To start we got the cheese and charcuterie plate with chef's selection. Our plate had duck liver mousse, salami, a selection of cheeses (I forget which ones exactly), house made bread, and some accoutrements. This was such a fun plate and I tried some meats and cheeses that I otherwise wouldn't have picked myself. The only slight downside was that the bread was pretty small and parts of it were burnt. We also got potato latkes, pork loin with strawberry salad, and lamb with spatzle. The potato latkes were so good - nice and crispy and went well with the horseradish. The lamb with spatzle was very good too, it had lots of rich flavor but felt pretty balanced. This dish was probably my favorite. And the pork loin was okay; the flavors were great but several parts were either too tough or too fatty to enjoy. Overall this was a fun experience! Some of the food was hit or miss, but I think this would be a great summer spot for wine and charcuterie! read more

This is a pretty nice spot for a casual/semi casual date. The cocktail menu is pretty interesting and I do recommend trying the gin martini. The portions are decent sizes. My recommendation is a couple of orders of starters and smaller plates and an entree per person. The entree list is extensive and can cover anyone with any taste. I recommend going with something new instead of the burger. It's...just a burger. Last but not the least, the service was very welcoming and polite, friendly and knowledgeable service team. However, we did find it slightly slow (20min for a drink). Try sitting outside too, weather permitting of course. We were unlucky enough to have the loudest group ever with no care for anyone else dine there at the same time and I'm sad to say it impacted the experience. We will surly be back but next time we will likely try the bar or the patio. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 - very small venue, super cozy vibes - it feels very hole in the wall for a restaurant that has a trendier name Service: 5/5 - our server was super friendly and helpful in getting us up to speed on the many options for the cheeseboard selection Food: Honestly 6/5 - this place executed beautifully on everything we ordered. We ordered food for the cheeseboard and they source everything so intentionally for the cheeses but make almost all the meat in house - so that salami? the pate? everything made in house. We accidentally ordered...duck everything. Duck pate, Duck mousse, duck leg and my god duck is sometimes hit or miss, can be gamey, but all of their duck was fantastic - creamy, flavorful, heavenly for real no cap. If my wallet could afford it I'd be back pretty regularly. read more

I've often seen very good reviews for this restaurant but do not live in the area and is not in that part of Logan very often. Based on these reviews, I decided to bring a very good friend here for a monumental birthday dinner. The place itself isnt much to look at from the exterior and the inside is pretty small. There is a back patio to take advantage of in the warmer months. We were given the seat right by the door and greeted by our very cool server John. Good dude and showed up at our table often to make sure we were all good throughout our visit. I started with the Daisy cocktail which was tequila based and recommended by John. Was ok but tasted very medicine-esque...I opted not to finish it and had it replaced by the Boulevardier which was a more than worthy replacement and very good! She had the Highball which was ok and had a very pickly flavor which may be due to the dill that is included. We started with the Cheese & Charcuterie plate which was decent and included a very delicious soft cheese (Alemar Bent River MN). We then opted to share plates of the Olive Oil Poached Mackerel Toast which was tasty as it came on sunflower oat toast and included pickled shallot, egg, preserved lemon and capers. The Lamb Spaetzle was very good as well and the star of the show in my opinion. John hooked us up with a birthday dessert for her in the form of the Juniper Bonet which is almost like a chocolate flan that includes ricotta...pretty decent. The table next to us got burgers and that smell was enchanting. Will have to come back for it! Staff here is very nice! We lingered at our table a bit so they offered us seats at the bar with a free shot of amaro so they could seat others. they didnt have to offer us that but it was very nice! Good place for dates, groups or a solo mission. read more

We were here several years ago and had a bad experience so we figured we'd try again. It did not disappoint. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy, but a bit loud. The food was divine. We started with a cheese plate because....I mean cheese. We also ordered their famous latke bites. They're a must! I had the whole Cornish hen and loved every bite. Smelled a bit weird but that could have just been the skin or seasoning. The portion looks big but there's just enough meat on there for one person. We had a great time, enjoyed the food and the company and we'll certainly be back since it's a stone's throw from our place. read more

Table, Donkey, Stick is fairly renowned for their unique pizza and highly rated burgers. Tonight, I finally tried the burger. I had heard that this burger rivaled some of the best in the city, from Au Cheval to Mott St. Having finally had it, I'm not sure it is quite in that company. Quality ingredients, super fresh, but the patty lacking in overall flavor to rank it among those elite spots. The two best things about the burger, besides the ooey gooey cheese? The incredible toasted bun, and the delicious sliced pickles, which provide a perfect sweet balance to the sandwich. Well above average, but not quite elite. I look forward to trying the pizza in the future! read more

Frankly obsessed with this place and consider it somewhere I would be personally willing to gatekeep only so I can keep getting seats at the bar. Everyone who works there is super friendly and helpful and dont make fun of you for asking for things like "an apple forward white wine". I go back for the duck pate alone but the charcuterie selection all rocks. Its just so charming, I dont know a better word for it but its exactly the place you want to park yourself after work with your pals and yap over wine and cheese. I know I just said that I'm obsessed with sitting at the bar but the real treat is the back patio when the weather allows it. Just such an inviting place. read more

The neighborhood vibe really made it feel cozy sitting outside, and enjoying some beverages like an IPA, followed with an Austrian Wine from 2015. We had the pork belly and peach terrine, the duck liver mousse, and some pretty outstanding cheeses. The stinkier the cheese, the happier I am, not even gonna lie. For the small plates, we did the potato latkes which were crunchy and the beef cheek croquettes, I don't even know where else you'll find something like this, these were encased in a flaky shell but so tender and flavorful. The first large plate was the sweet corn risotto, it was okay, mainly because I thought it had too much salt. As for the burger, because as a burger girlie, I had to try it. It really had a distinct taste from the smoked Swiss, horseradish aioli, and the caramelized onions. The dessert was impeccable, the bruleed watermelon was sweet in the right kind of way, and I didnt feel as bad indulging, it felt a little clean ya know. The currant sticky pudding was my favorite and that pudding was dense and had a light savory side to it read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher. Perhaps I'll go back and get thhd chance to. It has a bagful of intangibles that make it so like-able. Unassuming small space that's easy to miss, as if almost intentionally so. An excellent selection of craft brews. An exotic and skillfully curated cocktail menu. Cool looking hipster staff that are way too nice to be actual hipsters. But the food. It was so salty. My god. It all looks and smells delicious. And I do not shy away from seasoning. At. All. Both the boudin and sirloin were sodium atomic bombs. It's days later and just thinkingg about it makes me want to chug a gatorade. Maybe the kitchen had an off night? Maybe my food accidentally got seasoned twice?? Maybe I'll be back? Unsolved mysteries..... read more
