Best Comfort Food Restaurants in South Loop

We enjoyed are experience the food and atmosphere were both great highly recommend giving this place a try

I loved it! They could of dimmed the lights for a little more ambiance but the music was wonderful. We had a great server, a great band!! It was a great first experience.

We've been to Sunday Roasts in London and Ireland so we didn't know what to expect in Chicago. It EXCEEDED our expectations. We all had the Sunday Roast, so we can't speak about any other meal. The food was all delicious. It was enough to fill us, but not enough to make us uncomfortable. Everything was cooked to perfection and required no extra seasoning. We shared several desserts and loved every single one of them (sorbet, apple jack sundae, sticky toffe pudding - OMG - and the peanut butter louis). Would highly highly highly recommend Hawksmoor Chicago.

Restaurant Review: The Girl and The Goat The Girl and The Goat continues to solidify its reputation as one of Chicago’s must-visit dining destinations. With a focus on bold flavors and a playful approach to globally inspired dishes, this restaurant delivers a truly memorable experience. Highlights: •Bread and Pimento: This dish is deceptively simple but executed to perfection. The warm, freshly baked bread pairs beautifully with the creamy, smoky pimento spread. It’s the kind of starter that sets the tone for an indulgent meal, leaving you reaching for seconds (or thirds). •Empanadas: Bursting with flavor, these are a standout. The flaky, golden crust envelops a perfectly seasoned filling that balances savory richness with a touch of spice. Each bite feels like a small, delicious adventure. Drinks to Complement Your Meal: While The Girl and The Goat boasts a full bar menu offering craft cocktails, wines, and beers to suit any palate, the non-alcoholic options are equally impressive. The menu features thoughtfully crafted mocktails, infused with fresh herbs, seasonal fruits, and house-made syrups. Standouts include a refreshing citrus-and-mint blend and a rich hibiscus and ginger cooler, each perfectly balanced to enhance the meal without overpowering the flavors of the food. Dessert Note: •Chocolate and Peanut Butter Dessert: A decadent and satisfying way to end your meal. The harmony of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate creates a nostalgic yet elevated experience. The textures—silky, crunchy, and smooth—make this dessert unforgettable. The Girl and The Goat’s ability to innovate while staying approachable is what makes it a perennial favorite. From small plates to desserts, and a drink menu that caters to every guest, every dish tells a story worth savoring.

Shoutout to our waitress, Maria! She was such a sweetheart and made the experience at Bandit welcoming and fun. I ordered the Shady Lady and my sister got the Gold Digger, two really good and well made drinks. We shared the steak tacos and those were great too! We will definitely be back.
