Review Wishbone Restaurant - Chicago

Alex Sandoval
Lawnya was our waitress and absolutely wonderful. Her customer was amazing! She was super sweet and very friendly! The food was also delicious! The Cajun shrimp and grits had the best flavor! The Bloody Mary was delicious and for 2 bucks you get the little beer side which was so cute! 😀 we walked here from our place so I don’t know about parking but looks like street parking may be a little hard and what is there is metered parking. Definitely want to come back and try the other dishes on the menu!

I liked my veggie and cheese omelette, especially since they were able to add vegan chorizo. Side of corn cake was tasty, but a bit on the expensive side. They were nice enough to brew a fresh pot of decaf for me. My boyfriend’s eggs and beans weren’t quite as well-received, although he did seem to enjoy eating my hash browns.

Excellent Louisiana-Style Food, Cool Vibes, & Great Service! Food -- everything was exceptional. The bar was going to be high with us being from the south and experiencing New Orleans first hand, but it couldn't have been better. Had the Louisiana Bowl with andouille sausage (split in half) with grits, tomatoes, cheese, green onions and hot sauce with 2 eggs sunny side up on top. We also had the Cajun shrimp and grits. Corn cake with solid, but not quite on par with the main dishes. Both main dishes were absolutely fantastic!! They were tasty, creamy, spicy, and overall amazing. The Louisiana Bowl was a tad heavy on green onions for my taste, but they didn't detract from overall awesomeness. One of the best breakfast we've ever had, and that is very high bar! Drinks -- we had a bloody Mary (with a 2 oz backup beer) and pineapple mimosa to drink. Both were great. Bloody Mary was on basic side with olive, lemon, and lime, but that didn't mean it was bad. Mimosa was best we've had in a restaurant!! They many unique southern styled cocktails to offer. Service -- was exceptional!! Friendly, helpful, and prompt. The drinks came out in record time, which is not always the case for breakfast/brunch places. Vibe -- interior was super cool with chicken themes, unique art related to it, and overall theme that matched the food and service. Large patio also available. Value -- paid close to $30 per person, which is pretty standard for getting two cocktails with main entrees. Many restaurants may not be worthy of the higher breakfast/brunch prices, but this one certainly is!! Overall -- if you want a unique breakfast/brunch experience with excellent Louisiana-Style Food, Cool Vibes, & Great Service, definitely come here!!!

Enjoyed the crunchy French toast and the Cajun omelette. Appreciated that the omelette came with one side and corn muffin, biscuit or toast. Would come back to try other items in the menu.

The food was really good. My daughter loved it and can’t stop talking about the breakfast.

Good Food. Cleanliness and rapid service. Waitress was unfamiliar with a couple of dishes and drinks that led us to ordering an alcoholic beverage that we didn’t like.

The food is always great. I also love the patio seating. My favorite dish shown here are the salmon cakes and sautéed spinach with the house potatoes……yum!!!

I used to live a couple blocks from the Wishbone North location and have really missed this place! Went to this new location today and am glad the food is just as good as I remember and the ambiance at the current location is fantastic. Next time I'll try to snag a table on the patio - it looks super cute!

I went with a party of 5 for a birthday brunch. Service staff was great. We ordered a bucket of champagne 🍾 and everyone loved their food. The portions were ok, not overly generous, particularly the waffle. Overall, we loved it!

The food was delectable! The drinks were pretty good as feel! I thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday brunch! Being from the South, this place reminded me of my mom’s kitchen! Biscuits are made from scratch! Also, I highly recommend the Southern Catfish! I enjoyed eating outside on their patio too!

My mom loves southern soul food so we (Sis) decided to take her to Wishbone for her birthday. She loved it and so did we. The food was delicious, server was awesome and the atmosphere was great. Wonderful family gathering place. Smiles all around and we'll definitely be back.

The Cajun Shrimp n grits was the bomb, the helping was plentiful, but apparently I mistakenly, left my take home portion on the table when I went to the bathroom to find the busy boy had thrown it away. I was so sad. I was so looking forward to eating that this morning.
Sara Joe
The food was ok very small portions not just that but my friend ordered Orange juice and he got the smallest cup of it. Honestly looked like a double shot glass. I will say our server was very nice.

I loved the fried catfish and Shrimp grits. My sister really likes the blackened catfish. My niece comes to visit Chicago about 3 times a year and Wishbone is always on her list of favorite restaurants to eat at.

The food was good the service was great. Highly recommend . I plan to go again. For me the brunch is to long on Saturday. I think she told me it lasted until 3:00 I wanted to try the lunch menu. But I plan to return.
