Little Toasted

Where have you been all my life, a bourbon list to write home about. Hello pappy, hello weller lineup, hello beautiful bourbon wall. I've been working in the loop for five years and have aimlessly walked by this place many time, today I decided to stop in and wow I found my new favorite bar.

Want to get a substantial dinner after work without venturing too far from the Loop? Good luck! Little Toasted has a great whiskey list served in an attractive, modern space with terrible acoustics. After 3pm the menu consists of basic bar food: chicken tenders, flatbreads that look like they were prepared in an Easy Bake oven, nachos, and that's pretty much it. Everything is mediocre and sized to minimize the value to the customer.

My group of 4 had a pretty odd experience here unfortunately. Service was very short/impatient, but I can understand that they are quite overwhelmed with the after work/happy hour crowd on a Thursday at 5:30! However, I ordered the frosé, and it was served as pictured. When I asked for a straw, I was told rather rudely there were "no straws or spoons" which I can't be understanding of. As you can see in the picture, the frosé can't be drank like a liquid - It's quite thick. So I resorted to spooning it with the lemon twist as my only option. I even made eye contact with a few others who ordered this at different tables with the same issue, so it wasn't just a misunderstanding with my server. At a minimum, this should've been communicated when I ordered the "drink". I definitely will not be returning after this uncomfortable experience and will try the other options in the area for happy hour with my coworkers.

This is a great option for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and even possibly dinner! Located conveniently steps from the station, you can pop in here while waiting for your train (as we did in our case), or on a day in the city as it is also pretty close to a few popular tourist destinations. The inside is really pretty and comfy, and we were seated immediately on a Thursday early afternoon. Our waiter recommended the "Becky with the hood berries" cocktail to satisfy my sweet cravings and I loved it! We also tried the breakfast burrito (yum!) and the breakfast sandwich with sourdough bread. We also had a couple of beers as well before leaving. There was ample outdoor seating as well as the indoor seating, so definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Stopped in for breakfast and it was delicious. I think it is dumb that reviews need to be at least 85 characters

One of the worst services I've ever had, to be frank. The food was alright but when I tell you it was like they couldn't be bothered and were in a hurry to go pick up a winning lottery ticket? Our actual female waitress was alright and calm. First off you have to practically wave in their face to get their attention. The hostess was nowhere to be found. I was directed to someone who didn't acknowledge me at all. And couldn't be bothered to ask if I needed help. They do not seem like they care about their jobs at all. The bad turning point was basically the male server who was in such a hurry to pick up our plates and was constantly reaching over our table. He was really on ten. I really don't know what the issue is. I'm not sure if I'll be back anytime soon.

We came here to cool off after a day in the sun and I gotta say, it's nice. The outdoor seating is spacious as is the inside. The couches were clean, large, and placed in a way that felt welcoming for groups. I thought it was neat that instead of having multiple sinks inside the bathrooms, they have one sink in each individual bathroom as well as a row of sinks directly outside. So, everyone in the restaurant can wash their hands with ease. When it comes to food, I wasn't feeling a full meal, so I ordered the avocado toast. It was heavily topped with arugula, which I don't mind, but what put me off was the strong sour taste. I think lemon or lime juice was added. It could have been a nice touch, but way too much was used. Regardless, I finished it. Our server was nice, but could have been a little more attentive when it came to the checks. Not sure I'd make this my go-to dining spot, but definitely a "grab drinks with friends" spot!

I was here for a group event and had a great time. Excellent, quick, + friendly bartenders; good liquor choices. (Excellent bourbon to choose from! How nice to attend a group event and not have swill as your only liquor choice.) This was a catered event, so I'm not sure if these are the typical menu items, but everything was delicious - the skewers + cheese were my faves. I left a sweater behind and the folks at LT held onto it for me until I could retrieve it a day later. (Thank you Rafael and Dan!!!!) Will be back for happy hour with colleagues.

The menu that you scan at the bar says food is available until 7pm, however the bar tender refused to take my order at 6pm saying the "kitchen is closed". Will not be back.

Best Chicken Tenders and cocktails!! 10/10 I got an ice cold dirty martini and upside down spicy Margarita. They were top-notch and Johnny and Frankie behind the bar are the best team!
