The Fat Shallot Lincoln Park

"It’s easy to make a grilled cheese, but very hard to make a good one. The Fat Shallot, the food truck that has found a permanent home in Lincoln Park, has a very good one: it packs ooey gooey melted muenster cheese with sautéed spinach and caramelized onions. And then order a bowl of tomato bisque soup to dip it in. There’s an additional outpost at Revival Food Hall." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"After starting out as a food truck operation, Fat Shallot opened its first brick and mortar shop in Lincoln Park. This small counter-service spot's menu only has six sandwiches, and the most expensive is the Rueben at $13, and our favorite—crispy buffalo chicken— is around $10. You can pair your sandwich with a fun cocktail like a gin and tonic slushy, and still get out of here for well under $30. It's perfect for a quick bite or a casual dinner before catching a movie at the nearby Landmark Theater." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"After starting out as a food truck operation (hence the truck-shaped neon sign by the counter), Fat Shallot opened up their first brick and mortar in Lincoln Park. The menu only has six sandwiches, but they all taste great. The crispy buffalo chicken with creamy blue cheese and the Reuben with housemade corned beef are two of our favorites, especially when paired with a fun cocktail like a gin and tonic slushy, or an Adult Arnold Palmer. Similar to the menu, the space is compact: only a handful of tables and a couple of counter seats by the cashier. But, it's perfect for a quick lunch, casual dinner, or grabbing something to go." - John Ringor

"There’s been quite a few changes in the area. Right next door, Fat Shallot opened last week." - Ashok Selvam

"Popular food truck Fat Shallot has opened a restaurant offering sandwiches, french fries, and cocktails." - Ashok Selvam
