Wishbone

"The longtime West Loop restaurant moved from its original location in 2018 but the food hasn’t skipped a beat. The menu still leans heavily on Southern comforts, such as salmon cakes, shrimp and grits, fried catfish, and chicken andouille hash. The space itself offers a whimsical vibe with murals and memorabilia displayed throughout. Make a reservation through Tock. Online ordering is also available." - Sam Nelson

"A Chicago institution known for its bold move to add surcharges to egg and chicken dishes due to rising costs. Actors Ayo Edberi and Lionel Boyce visited over the weekend." - Ashok Selvam

"Five years after it moved to a new home on Jefferson Street, Chicagoans’ hunger for Cajun and brunch staple Wishbone shows no sign of dwindling. Regulars rave about the cocktail list, along with catfish and eggs, crawfish and shrimp etouffee, and slabs of barbecue ribs." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"Longtime Cajun and brunch haven Wishbone moved to a new location on Jefferson Street in 2018 and continues to draw locals and visitors for favorites like catfish and eggs, jambalaya omelettes, crunchy French toast, and shrimp and grits. Well-made cocktails are also part of the experience at this West Loop favorite." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"A spacious restaurant with a relaxed, fun, and warm atmosphere, Wishbone has been in the West Loop for over 30 years. Though recently moved to a new location in the neighborhood, this spot continues to focus on Southern food and delicious cocktails. Wishbone has dishes like huge, fluffy biscuits with pork gravy, and bread pudding that feels like a warm hug. In other words, no judgment if you are caught licking the plate. Also, toast up with our main man Bootsy Collins—no, not the legendary musician. A tasty drink made with tequila, lemon, blackberry syrup, and ginger beer." - phaithe norman, adrian kane
