Review by Nelle Beatty

I recently dined at Frontier and was thoroughly impressed! 🤩 The cozy, trendy atmosphere made for a great evening out. We indulged in their smoked alligator, which was incredibly tender and flavorful! The macaroni and cheese was creamy perfection, and I loved the Jambalaya - a taste of New Orleans right in Chicago!

Fast service and friendly staff, especially Jessica and Jackie, enhanced our experience. Don't miss their Dive into the Smokehouse event; the prix fixe menu is such a deal! I can't wait to return for more! 🍽️✨
