Earls Kitchen + Bar

A very open and airy spot for a bite before a movie. Large bar area with indoor and outdoor seating. Sizable menu with many choices including very nice salads, sandwiches, tacos, burgers. I had a veggie burger which was excellent along with sweet potato fries that were delicious. Fresh brewed iced tea hit the spot on a hot and muggy July day. Very much elevated bar food with lots of savory choices.

Eclectic menu.
Food was good.

Our service was disappointing.
Waiter seemed flustered and overwhelmed.

We went in the afternoon so it wasn’t busy. Our server was great and always came to check if we needed anything. Great variety of food and the food was really amazing ! Will be back!

The menu is good for vegetarians and vegans, but the food is about average. I wasn’t thrilled with any of the dishes that we ordered as I felt that they were exactly average. The Impossible Burger and fries were standard and had nothing special about about. The buffalo cauliflower was good, but deep fried and you couldn’t taste much else. I did like the tortilla soup that they served there, but mine was served luke warm. This is a major chain restaurant and the food tasted like it today.

Went with a coworker for happy hour and it was great! Probably the most extensive happy hour menu I have found in Chicago with good assortment of food and drinks. The beverages were all good and really well priced. We had some margaritas, mules, beer, and food. Will probably go again!
