Reviews

It was good.
We ordered burger, omelet and chicken. The food was fairly delicious.
Good and fresh stuff.
I asked for Keto friendly and not too much oily and fried.
The suggestion was good. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is delightful. Recommend.

Owner response

Hi Roja! Thanks for sharing a review and these lovely photos from your meal.
We're so glad to hear that our Keto-friendly options were to your liking, and that our team took great care of you.
We have a fantastic team behind us that makes The Dearborn what it is.
We hope we have the pleasure to serve you again soon. Best, Amy and Clodagh Lawless

Monet J was our server and she was fantastic! It is my birthday and we stopped by for an appetizer before our next outing.
The cauliflower soup and rolls were a smash hit.
I would come back again for dinner.

Owner response

Happy Birthday, Kristin! We're delighted that you stopped by to celebrate with us and are so pleased that Monet took great care of you— she is an absolute gem and we're lucky to have her.
We can't wait to serve you for dinner sometime soon— you're always welcome. Best, Amy and Clodagh Lawless

Okay, so yes the prices are expensive but being in Chicago it’s very standard.
We came here to celebrate a special occasion.
They gave us free champagne.
Service was superb.
The whole restaurant looked classy.
I recommend setting up a reservation just in case.
We ordered the Midwest fried chicken and the Dearborn burger.
The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful from the buttermilk and maple/mustard glaze, and a slight heat from the hot sauce.
You have to try it at least once.
The burger was easily one of my favorites and I had a lot of burgers.
I ordered it medium rare so the meat just melted into my mouth.
Meat was great quality.
The Wisconsin cheddar and the special sauce increased the overall delish scale.

Owner response
