Everything was great . I will be coming back for sure. The stuff was nice. the beer was great my first time trying different flavors.

I didn't have high hopes for The Perch. It seems so corporate. For me, Wicker Park is way past its prime. Despite my expectations, The Perch was really fun. My husband and I had dinner after the Renegade Craft Fair on a Saturday and got a great table outside. We started with cheese curds--which were melty, spicy, and delicious. Then we split steak frites and some big salad. Both were really pretty good. They have a big patio and a large indoor space too. The place was packed, but the service was solid. I won't be avoiding this place in the future. read more

Daddy brings me here on what mommy calls my gotcha day. I love this place. I got a puppy protein power bowl. I met some wonderful people on the patio today as well. Mommy & Daddy both had burgers. They loved them. They also had lobster deviled eggs and they loved them as well. Even I got a bite. I give this place 5 out of 5 paws. read more

Overall experience and ambience is a 4 star. Our service was great she was there when you needed her and gone when you didn't. The place was a mix of sport and classy could have a few more TV's where it matters but the place is buzzing and the food is good. No pics this time; phoned died ....next trip I got the bbq Salmon I wanted to sub the mashed cucumbers for mashed potatoes ended up getting both, mashed potatoes route imo. Purposefully didn't give cooking instructions but the Salmon came out cooked well done, just lacked a solid crust or glaze for being bbq. *has a star on the menu so order to your taste. Would definitely order again. read more

Cute and very chill esthetics! Veryyyyy quick service, honestly to the point of feeling a little rushed. Not sure if they have a rule of flipping tables quickly, but we had a show at 8pm, made our rezzie at 530p and if we would have let the server dictate our flow, we would have been out of there by 610p. Hisband orderer a nut brown, which came, but was orange in color and super hoppy. Not sure if we got the wrong beer or the sever put it in incorrectly...but he was able to swap that for an Old Fashioned and the beer was taken off our tab appropriately. Started off with the cornbread. Very good! I ordered the turkey burger with a side salad, also super flavorful. Husband had the half chicken with mashed potatoes. He loved it! Carrot cake is a crowd pleaser, and the Perch's version was an amazing rendition! Highly recommend. Patio had great vibes, although lots of children, it is dog friendly. Extra cudos for having an Oregon Pinot Noir. read more

Eating on the patio and having a crisp beer is peak summer activities! I love perch because the food/beers are always delicious and service is great. We got the division street wings off their special menu for the world cup. The chamoy sauce pairs really well with the slightly sweet chipotle ranch. The cole slaw was really tasty too. The seared ahi tuna salad was super good! I love the chunks of mango and the seared tuna had a nice smoky flavor. The kolsch "senior skip day" was super refreshing. I also like the kick, push hazy IPA. Local pro tip: take a walk in the neighborhood streets around dusk and you might see some fireflies! There's also a local house that has a chicken farm down wood/wolcott street and some sunflowers. read more

We were in the area the night before and this place was packed! We returned to the area the next day to explore and decided to eat lunch here. I got the wrightwood salad (without goat cheese) which was surprisingly a huge portion. There was more than enough chicken for every bite and I really liked the cornbread croutons! It was refreshing with a good combination of flavor. I also tried a bit of the bacon and potato croquettes but they were quite dry and salty for my liking. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to choose from! read more

Had not been to the Perch in years, and it was a great day to stop by for apps and drinks - except that a storm made it impossible to sit on the patio! The outdoor seating is always packed during the summer. I wish they had some half off appetizers during Happy Hour as the prices were a bit steep ($16 for cheese/vegetable curds), and most of the deals were for beers. Really good service, drinks, food, and vibes overall! World Cup game was on, and the interior is a great space with high-tops, tables, and booths. read more

Food is consistently good here. Ordered the TRADITIONAL BREAKFAST* 2 eggs your way, choice of bacon or maple sausage, hashbrowns or fruit, choice of toast. The hash browns are really rich and I feel like I could have shared them. The servers made sure I was good on my coffee and water. Love the vibe here, the restaurant is beautiful. read more

A friend and I went to the Perch to have a cocktail before dinner with our friends elsewhere. Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered Hugo spritzes and they were strong and delicious. We ordered cheese curds to share, which were yummy, however, at least 50% vegetables which was disappointing because they were not cheap! Their happy hour menu is a bit abbreviated, so I definitely would skip it next time, as we didn't even order from it. But I would come by again to order something else off the menu! read more

I liked this spot!! Was briefly in town and meeting a friend. Always happy to try new restaurants and this one was a success. Love the overall vibe inside; industrial-modern!? Just a very trendy and welcoming spot. There's plenty of seating along the right, bar-side with hightops, and even more on the right where there is low dining seating. We popped into a comfy booth. Service was friendly, and speedy! He came back with our drinks in a flash. This place is a brewery so we had to try- both really liked their light, crisp pilsner on tap. They have a good size menu with all kinds of options. My friend got the chicken dip sandwich (as recommended by the server) and loved it. They had a 'specials' menu so I decided to order from there- the tuna poke was so good! Lots of flavor. Tuna was fresh. The chips were the perfect added crunch. I'd certainly return! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday evening. The place is pretty large with lots of seating. In the middle of summer it was so cold in there that we were uncomfortable. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive even though they were busy. Love that they have many beers to choose from, so I got a flight. My friend got the filet sliders and said they were slightly overcooked for her liking. I got the burger, ordered it medium and it was also a little overcooked. I do also wish the burger had any kind of sauce on it. Only had the ketchup that the fries came with. Overall, the meal was nothing special but we did enjoy it. read more

Tried them out during restaurant week. Had such a wonderful experience, we decided we'd 'spin the block' and made another reservation for 4 weeks later before we even left the 1st reservation. We went for brunch both times. Yum! Our server Tim was top tier so we asked to sit in his area again yesterday. He rocks btw. Gives honest opinions and didn't stear us wrong. I love an honest wait staff! Only thing I was sad about was they didn't have the pork belly bites () this time (must've been specifically for restaurant week) and the shareable bacon was just a side order(3 slices=not shareable for bacon lovers) I'm pretty sure we're going back again next month to try their dinner menu. We can't wait read more

Perfect place for girls lunch on a week day . Quick reservation availability. Street parking is a hit or miss thankfully at 1 pm on division it was easy but have that in mind. Walking in it was amazing high ceilings open space I really like all the light coming in . Great service with Maria I believe her name was super patient with us being so indecisive. For the table we order d the cheese curds which was delicious never had it with panko so gave it that light crunch was hoping for cheese then the vegetables but it was a nice touch . Food wise two of the people at our table enjoyed their chicken dip sandwhich chicken was fresh as they do rotisserie chicken in house which is great . At the table we had the Wrightwood salad which was perfect crunch the rotisserie chicken was also fresh in it . Huge portion perfect for the table or to take home . I ordered the prime rib dip and it was delicious I saved the other half just so I can have it for dinner , I will be dreaming of the au jus that was just perfection on every-bite thankful that they made my fries to order well done . I enjoy a crispy fry. No room for dessert or an afternoon pick me up but gives more reason to come back . read more

This is the kind of place you can count on to have a fun night out! With a lively atmosphere and a delicious menu with something for everyone, what more could you want? The interior was classy yet unpretentious with a beautiful patio perfect for enjoying the nice summer weather. The cocktail list had some intriguing options and they had a quality beer selection. Our server was very professional and attentive throughout the meal, making for an all around great experience. For food, we ordered the prime rib french dip sandwich with fries and the turkey burger with coleslaw. The beef was super tender and not at all overcooked. I especially loved the flavorful horseradish and crusty yet chewy bread. The fries were just okay for me- I felt they could have been crispier and arrived a bit lukewarm. The turkey burger may have been one of the all around best burgers I've ever had. The meat had a perfectly crispy char while still being incredibly tender and juicy. I absolutely loved the spicy Asian-inspired slaw, which was both fresh and spicy. The side coleslaw was also excellent. The veggies were shredded super finely and soaked up the delicious slightly sweet dressing really well. Overall, we had a great visit and will 100% be back to try more of the menu! read more

flavorless. go somewhere else if you want food that tastes like something. we had the Mahi sandwich and the smoked salmon bagel. even the smoked salmon was completely devoid of any characteristic. nice waitress though. empty resto, probably for the reasons stated above. read more

Super cute aesthetic inside! I had their wine and it was tasty, and honestly, the prices for both food and alcohol were really good. My friends got a salad and a dip with chips and said they loved their food. The proportions were decently sized too which is always a plus! Definitely somewhere I'd hit back up. read more

Had some pretty good beers at this local brewery. It also has a bit of a food menu. The Perch is one of those fancy craft places with the crowds of screaming women. Crazy that people talk more about the food. With the hipster location you'll already know about the high prices on most things. For sure it was pretty busy. It's in the middle of a crowded ass area with tons of other bars and restaurants. There weren't as many here though. Maybe because they don't care as much about beer. They'll be getting overpriced cocktails and seltzers. It's about $8 for a pint. Kind of a lot but it's expected for a place like this. The best we had of these was The Woodpecker. A German Pilsner. This also has notes of floral and is spicy. It's about $7 for the French Fries. Pretty limited menu for vegetarians. Mostly meaty. There's burgers and fish but ironically there isn't perch. Great selection of locally made beers. It's also got a meaty good menu. This is located on Division close to the Blue Line station. read more

The Perch is a great gastropub in the wicker park neighborhood. Offering a wide variety of menu options they are also a brewery where they brew their own beer. It is a causal and trendy vibe offering both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was really delicious and if you can't get a table I do highly recommend sitting at the bar. I feel you get just as good of service. One standout for me was the lobster deviled eggs. I have never had deviled eggs this way and it was just absolutely delicious. We also got Brussels sprouts salad, cheese curds, and crab cakes. Everything about this place was just really great and they also have happy hour times as well. read more

I've been here many times & it's always great. It's a beautiful place with high open ceilings & dark decor. The patio is amazing out front & in the back. Today for brunch we had the blueberry cornbread skillet with whipped butter and monkey bread. It was perfection. The potatoes were the star of the show. Hash browns that were saucy, flavorful, cooked perfectly. Omelette is always good. I also love their grilled mahi mahi sandwich. It's my go to. The servers are always friendly & down to earth. I will say the food runners could be a little better, announcing food in a mumble. Not asking if we needed anything else. He forgot my toast & I had to flag down our server. But, it's still a solid great place. read more

Came here with a friend and really enjoyed it. The place has a nice modern American vibe with a slightly vintage feel. The inside is pretty dim, but in a cozy way, and I like that you can see the brewery in the back through the glass walls. Our waitress was super nice and l funny. I ordered the turkey burger and it was so good, insanely flavorful, and the coleslaw paired well. My friend got the brisket sandwich and devoured it. Overall, everything was great and I'd definitely come back to try out their specials next time. read more

Dog friendly menu, huge patio, and strong appetizers. We sat outside over the summer and enjoyed the atmosphere, which was great for a big group.

I came here with my family (2 adults - 1 child), on a Sunday around 1:30pm of a long weekend. It was the only place we didn't need a reservation, and could just walk in off the street. The vibe is that of an upscale restaurant but the food didn't meet that vibe. The service was good until we wanted to leave and it took a while to get the check and get the check processed. The food was okay, like most places on this strip it was like a chain with beyond average food, overly sweet, overly salty. We started with the monkey bread, it was far too sweet for my liking, it could have used a victory of salt in it instead it was overly cinnamony and sugary. They did have kid options and kid cups which was a welcomed surprise. For a meal I got a burger, definitely not fresh, and if it is something went awry. The fries were also just okay. Overall I wouldn't come back here but it was not the worst food. read more

One of our family's go-to spots! The vibes and atmosphere are always warm and welcoming. It's a brewery as well, so they offer a wide variety of drink options that change frequently--and they're always a hit. They have a great rewards program and even offer kids eat free during certain timeframes, which is a huge plus for families. Some of my personal favorites are the crab cakes, fish sandwich, and the steak sliders from the appetizer menu. Customer service is consistently great. You will not be disappointed! read more

Takes credit card. Excellent service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor has tons of tables and a bar Lobster Devil eggs ($15.95)- 3 half eggs. Large piece of lobster with spread on top. Potato and Bacon Croquettes ($10.95)- very hearty, solid flavor. Nice exterior texture. Wrightwood salad- $17.95- nice pieces of warm rotisserie chicken, with avocado and tomatoes. Prime rib sandwich ($24)- this was so good. The meat was super soft, tender. The aujus was very flavorful, maybe a little too much seasoned. I would get this again. They have a brewery in the back. They offer tasters which I think is a better deal. Squeaky alien selzter- yuzu flavor- super super good, slightly sweat. Hibiscus - also very surprising good. Yuzul suspects- a sour beer. A little too sour for me.. Kick push IPA- slightly bitterness, nice finish, doesn't leave a lasting bitterness. Senior skip day-kolsh- a solid bear, no bitterness, crisp. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised with our experience. The restaurant is spacious, bright and airy with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and an abundence of natural light. The seating is a combination of spacious booths and tables. Our server immediately welcomed us and when we told her it was our first time , she provided many suggestions. They had several beer options that they brew. My husband had the Cheap Seats a light lager and Calling All Skeletons- a mexican lager. I had the taster Squeky Alien sletzer, with a spciy syrup and the other with a fruity , berry syrup. We enjoyed all of our drink choices. For an appetizer we had the lobster deviled eggs. The eggs were topped with lobster and were very good. There is an option to add 1-2 to the portion ! My husband had their burger and I had the chicken dip. The chicken dip was excellent. It had so much tender chicken, I took half home . We enjoyed The Perch and will return and highly recommend. read more

Funny thing is I order from this place all the time but my first time eating in the actual restaurant. Delivery is wonderful but sitting down here was great. The vibe is beautiful on top of it being a distillery. Very cozy and a wonderful place to drink or eat. Definitely can pregame here or take a date. Customer service is really friendly and was very patient with us trying to figure out what to eat. Anything I didn't like, they took it away and didn't charge me for. I enjoyed their fillet mini burgers as well as their cornbread! Come back for the cornbread. And the deviled eggs are a must try. Obviously I'll definitely continue ordering here but will make my way to this location Too. I think there's sister restaurant called Remington is nice but not as nice as perch. read more
