Try it, you’ll love it!

How lucky were we to be at The Fat Shallot today when La Tosca was playing live! This intersection of taste and sound was a delight. The melted Muenster-spinach-caramelized onion on crunchy sourdough made me forget all other grilled cheese sandwiches. From the greeter to the bartender, their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. (Special thanks to Mama Lynn for being so sweet. )

And the award winning La Tosca duo played a unique fusion of Italian and French influenced music (vintage 1850-1950). The driving beat of their gypsy jazz was fabulous. "O Sole Mio" brought the house down! I danced like a happy elf and met many friendly folks.

Thanks to The Fat Shallot for aligning the stars and creating this magical dining experience! Welcome to Evanston!

I've already enjoyed The Fat Shallot food truck a few times so when they opened a restaurant on Central Street in Evanston, we were excited (local to us).

The Fat Shallot has a seemingly straightforward menu, but everything they make is just excellent. I've had their burgers, the pulled pork & turkey sandwich (all great), but their truffle BLT is next level amazing...

Our kids love going into the restaurant & we all also enjoy doing takeout from them.

A great addition to the neighborhood & always a favorite for our family!!

And for real, try the truffle BLT. You're welcome in advance! :-)

Really cool space. Dining in front, party in back with the juke box, video games and the bar! And a really nice outdoor courtyard in the back. I've had the buffalo chicken sandwich at Gilson Beach before, so I had to try it at this new location. It's perfect, great buffalo spice and little slices of celery and ranch dressing. YUM! I paired it with their delicious fries. You have to come and try this.

Run, don’t walk, to this new neighborhood gem! Such a wonderful addition to Central St! Went for lunch on opening day & the counter service was warm, friendly & SO FAST!! My husband & I split the Truffle BLT & the Cheeseburger plus an order of Truffle Fries (sauce on the side for dipping, rather than the smothered version). Your kids are going to love the football table, claw machine & Pac Man video games inside along with giant Connect Four & bags outside on the sun drenched patio. You are going to enjoy excellent local beers (we had Sketchbook’s Orange Door & Half Acre’s Daisy Cutter- don’t judge our midday drink, we were celebrating our anniversary!!), beautiful decor & a quiet meal with your person because your kiddos will be too busy playing games to bother you! The food was excellent- can’t wait to try other options next time. Sit on the small Central St sidewalk patio, in the front dining room, in the back bar, or on the big back patio. Can’t go wrong! Welcome to the neighborhood Fat Shallot! We’re thrilled you’re here!!
