    I came here for my birthday and Brandon was so patient. He did a wonderful job advertising different foods on the menu and was pointing out the foods/drinks he highly recommend. Service was fast, drinks was good and me and my girls had a GREAT time. I would 100% recommend this place to anybody. Next time you’re in Chicago, make sure to go to The L Station.

    Ok experience. Turkey tips were full of fat. Didn’t enjoy them. Probably won’t be back.

    My waffles were cold and my drink definitely did not taste like a $18 lemon drop.. it was in the small martini glass… Steakhouses give you the large glass for that price.. also, my wings were tiny but taste really good

    I will most definitely be back! Everything was great. There are so many more options on the menu that I would love to try. The greens and cornbread were fantastic! Chicken and waffle flight grand! The scrambled eggs and grits were off the chain! We really enjoyed the music and Tee was a delight!

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! The ambience was amazing along with the food and service. Our server Brandon was amazing and kept us entertained throughout the whole experience. The food was an 10000/10 and so were the drinks, along with the playlist that was playing. I was here for my birthday with friends and the staff sang happy birthday to me! I’d like to give a special thanks to the cook(s) and our server Brandon again, I’ll definitely return in the future!

    The food here was delicious. I typically don’t like ordering mac & cheese out because it’s disappointing. But their mac & cheese was delicious. I also had the cabbage lamb chops. My friend got the salmon burger, and it was actual salmon not a mincemeat patty. Our server, Brandon was excellent. The place was a little smaller than I anticipated.  But overall, it was a good experience.
