The Best Restaurants In Logan Square

"Gretel is from the team behind Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville, which you might know because of its incredible burger. And Gretel has become one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood for a casual dinner. The food is great: They also have a fantastic burger, along with shareable things like vegetable gyoza and pork belly nachos. But it’s also just a nice place to hang out for a few hours. It’s cozy and dark (seriously—the walls are painted black) and will immediately soothe your screen-fatigued eyes. Plus, it has a long drink menu and a wall of liquor bottles that necessitate the bartender using a rolling ladder like Belle in the library from Beauty and the Beast." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
