One of my favorite restaurants. It's an informal feeling, a clean and good service. They specialize in fried chicken, very good. I usually go to eat salad, it's a meal full of delicious dishes. Food is not cheap, but it's worth it. I was fortunate enough to find Bandera, and today I am in the area, I decided to consider lunch. Because we didn't have a reservation, so the chef in the ribbon sits behind the bench, but that's what I'll get back to happen. I went to the chef to prepare the food--this is a good experience. This helps us identify our desires to what is eaten-especially when we see it pastry cooking and ice cream candy in chocolate bath sauce. Excellent service, it was excellent food, I recommend it to everyone.

They work wonders with fried chicken! Hands down. Food ain't cheap but definitely worth it. This place is a gem. Will keep on coming back. The place is good, they serve great food and the people there are fantastic! Can't see why I shouldn't be coming back. Besides, they have live music and if you are seated by the window, it just the perfect way to spend your night. Very relaxing and comforting.

This restaurant is located right on Michigan Ave and if you get a table by the window, it's the perfect spot to have a drink and relax while listening to live music (every night apparently!). The staff is very accommodating and attentive. We ordered the cornbread and chips with guacamole and a queso dip which was very tasty. The cornbread comes in a cast iron skillet and the top is very crunchy and the bread tastes freshly made- needs butter though! For the main dish I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The broccoli it came with on the side was delicious. The sandwich didn't need the cheese but otherwise was good, especially with the spicy mayo. I would definitely come back for a lighter meal and a drink. They took reservations on a Sunday but we had to request a spot by the window when we got there.

One of my favorite restaurants along the mile. It's a casual feel, clean, good service. They specialize in roasted chicken, which is excellent. I usually go for the Macho Salad, which is a full meal of interesting flavors. Not a cheap meal, but worth it.

Great place with live jazz, great cocktails, and excellent food! The grilled artichokes are amazing when they’re in season. Service was excellent. The jazz is fantastic, but loud enough that it can be hard to have a conversation if you’re seated near the band.
