    1. VERDICT/VALUE: It's a diner done well - With an eclectic choice of breakfast, burgers/sandwiches, entrees, and desserts, the Little Goat goes big in providing great tastes at reasonable prices! 2. FOOD: on this visit, it was breakfast for dinner with the Bull's Eye French Toast. Egg-washed Texas toast, served with an egg over-easy, smothered with melted cheese, strawberries, chopped chicken tonkatsu (think deep fried chicken breast meat) and maple syrup. Yum - if only they served it with a third piece of French toast! A nibble of a friend's Shrimp and Cheesy Grits revealed plump shrimp bites with creamy yet al dente grits. A delight to try whole during the next visit! 3. SERVICE: Despite the busy-ness of the packed restaurant, it was always prompt, attentive, and professional - full stars here, especially when they accommodated a friend's surprise birthday well with a candle-lit dessert! 4. ATMOSPHERE: It's a diner - old-school meets clean and swanky under classic lights and it has a fun photo booth at the entrance to boot. The dressed-up can look towards the affiliated Girl and the Goat across the street while the Little Goat provides great times and great food in a casual environment.

    Call Little Goat your upscale whatever goes diner. Practically everything is available 24/7 on the menu - so whether your heart desires breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner....order as you please. They've got a good mix of savory and sweet unconventional items such as GOAT and their bakery fresh crumpets. Every time I'm a first-timer at a restaurant, I've got to choose the one exotic item off the menu. This time, I went with the crumpets with chorizo bathed in maple syrup garnished with bite-sized tomatoes. While 3 miniscule crumpets may look like it may not fill you, rest assured, it was the perfect portion without feeling overly full. My companion went all out with the goat almighty burger stacked a skewer's length high with braised beef, bbq pork, and some sweet fixin's. He was only able to finish 1/2 of that monster, and I chowed down the other 1/2. Goat patties are a little different...more chewy and lean texture-wise. Now, what would've been nice is the option to add an a la carte item to your meal at a reduction. $6 for smoked fries, which were addictively good and non-greasy. While it was a nice brunch/lunch, I can't justify spending $40 on 2 people unless it was some special occasion. Thus, minus 1 star for value. If you're from out of town, the streets are kind of strange there and parking is probably 1/2 a block down where they have the pay-to-park stations. I'd probably come back in the future, just that there are so many other unique breakfast options in Chi town I've got to try before stumbling back here again.

    Went here on a Wednesday night for dinner. There was no wait, but there were plenty of people there. The waiter was great and let me sample a beer before I ordered it. My husband got the Los Drowned sandwich and I got the Bull's Eye French Toast. Both were amazing. I was thrilled we walked past the place and decided to try it. The only thing was the prices were a bit hefty for what you get, but that's kind of expected for this area.

    Cute spot, good breakfast, great service. It was tough finding any good breakfast spots in Chicago since Seattle has such an abundance. The wait was pretty long on a Saturday morning.

    This place is super cute. The staff seems friendly and greets everyone with a smile. Which is super nice because I came here alone. And Sarah was great. She answered my questions and was very sweet. I got a drink - the fernet about it. It's delicious and STRONG. Well for the money, $12, it better be. It has a good flavor and I recommend it if you're stopping in. Maybe not the best thing for me at three in the afternoon, but eh, sue me. My parathas burrito is fantastic!! It's so delicious I wish I could have one vey day. There are maybe a few too many peppers for my taste, but they give a good kick. He salad on top is spicy, but a good spicy, not a 'I wanna cry spicy'. Nice large portion. You'd be hard pressed to leave hungry if you manage to finish this dish. I loved the Indian bread. The whole thing was delicious. But it needed more guacamole. There was just a tiny dollop underneath the salad. It would have been nice to have more.

    Since it's nearly next to impossible to drop into The Goat and the Girl, my Chicago neighbors took us to Little Goat so that I could try the tasty offerings of Janes Beard award winning chef Stephanie Izard. The space has a lovely open air feel with outdoor seating that lines the sidewalk. We sat next to a huge window in a spacious booth offering plenty of opportunity to people watch. The seats were a bit worn and torn in some places but it is a diner. It's difficult to choose your meal as everything sounds delicious and in an incarnation you're familiar with but better. So you've had French toast but bit garlic brioche French toast! I ordered that with crispy chicken and strawberries. My friends ordered a juicy cheeseburger and the tastiest fries I've had in a while. We also ordered fried pickles. Way to indulge! All worth it though. If Chicago didn't have so many restaurants, I. would absolutely go back. Service is decent and prices are on the high side of reasonable. Expect to spend around $30 for breakfast if you want apps or a cocktail.

    Visiting from Austin and highly recommend this restaurant. The chorizo crumpets - outstanding. The cimmabum - terrific. Waitstaff very high. A must on your visit to Chicago

    I knew full well that I was going to be waiting a while to get brunch here on a Sunday. That was my own damn fault. After the two hour wait, I was worried that the wait wouldn't be worth it, but I was wrong. The portions were not huge, but to me that was a good thing as I didn't feel so wasteful. It was the perfect amount to fill you up, especially with a delicious Bloody Mary. I can't wait to go back- I do wish they did reservations for brunch, though.

    Oh Little Goat, I do love you so. Please give me all of your crab dip all of the time! I've been to Little Goat for brunch and I've also organized a private party. Both experiences were great. Brunch was crowded, even early, but they take brunch reservations so if you're able to do a little pre-planning, you should be good. We all enjoyed everything we tried. I kind of forgot everything everyone else got because my eyes were on the prize. The prize being the bullseye french toast. Imagine my surprise when I cut into that baby, forgetting that egg was on the description. A hidden egg inside my french toast and fried chicken! Awesome. The coffee is great and the bloody mary was fine by me. Fast forward to planning my work's holiday party. That french toast was still on my mind, so I decided to blow some company money to satisfy my whims. Working with the event staff was a breeze. We had the sweet kitchen space to ourselves and were greeted with smiles and snacks. I wanted to scoop the crab dip into my purse for later. I'm like a tacky grandma in that way. We tried a ton of family style menu items, the highlight of which was the goat leg. If you're doing an event there, it is well worth adding. Everything we tried was great and the cocktails were also fabulous. Great food, friendly staff, a photobooth, and that patio will have me scheming more ways to plan another event here.

    My friends and I ended up here after arriving way too early for Girl & The Goat. And while I was disappointed in missing out on Girl & The Goat, the food here definitely made up for it. We tried: - Hot Crab Dip - Brandade and Belly - Los Drowned - Shrimp & Porkbelly The Hot Crab Dip was probably my favorite. It was maybe a tad bit too salty though, especially with the ritz crackers. I felt like our other 3 dishes got a bit overwhelmed by the extra/side ingredients. Don't get me wrong, everything was delicious. But I felt like the flavor of the dishes' main component(s) wasn't as front and center as it could have been. The menu is cute but it leaves out some ingredients for certain dishes. (Ex: the Shrimp & Porkbelly has more veggies than just the pea shoots listed) While I appreciate the cleanness of the menu, I'm a somewhat picky eater so it would have been nice to know in advance what I was going to get. While Little Goat is technically a diner, it feels and looks just a bit more upscale than your usual diners. I loved the interior though. I also adored the design of the bathrooms. The employees were also nice and attentive.

    Great spot for an early breakfast with the pug! Nice little outdoor area. We went at 745 am and were seated right away. The blueberry pancakes were phenomenal!! My latte was just ok, but they refilled it with regular coffee for free. Sweet! My friend got the fat Elvis waffles, and it looked amazing but a little much for my tummy. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I love that they're dog friendly. I'd definitely go back.

    My husband I came here for brunch on Sunday morning with three other friends en route to the airport. A friend of mine had been raving about this place forever, and we were super excited to give it a try. Even though we came with suitcases (that the restaurant kindly let us store behind the hostess table) and told the hostesses to let us know if being seated within the time range they had quoted us wasn't possible, the hosts were incredibly unhelpful in managing our expectations about the wait time, and in general, did not seem to care. We were finally seated about an hour and 15 minutes after our arrival time, but then were not visited by our server for almost 10 more minutes. This was totally unacceptable. And how much effort would it have been for our host to mention to our server that we were in a rush? (especially because they were the ones who had given us the incorrect time estimate). At this point, without about 15 minutes left until my husband and I needed to leave for the airport (our friends were able to stay), I asked to speak with a manager. I explained what had been going on and how frustrated we were, and that we had very little time left before we had to leave to catch our flight. The manager was incredibly nice, apologized, and literally brought us our food within 5 minutes (and it was gorgeous and DELICIOUS . . . the egg parathas . . . you must get them). I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism and attitude, and I think it's a sign of a high quality restaurant when they have management that "gets it." So despite the drama and mad rush at the end, the next time I'm in Chicago, I would go back just to eat those parathas and try some other stuff on the menu (although I probably would not go during peak times).

    Been waiting to go here but was always nervous about the wait. We walked down "early" on Saturday at 10:30 and got a table for two in 10 minutes - amazing! The service is super friendly, menu is loaded and the space is buzzin'. We ordered the corned beef hash and the French toast to split... And a side of hash. It was a ton of food!!!! Everything was really delicious. We left stuuuuffed and satisfied! I had a couple mimosas that were very $$$$. They could cut back on that price a bit! Will be back. And hope it's not to bad!

    I've been here so many times in the last year cuz it's hands down one of the best restaurants in the city. I've had mostly everything on the menu, but the best dish is the Parathas Burrito. I promise you won't be disappointed. That bring said, all the food is phenomenal. Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect. No bad things to say. Oh, and wait times are usually pretty reasonable. Reservations are always a good idea though.

  • Heather H.

    Seriously underwhelmed. It was supposed to be a 15 - 20 minute wait that turned into over 30. My husband order the Sloppy Goat, I got the Los Drowned, and we ordered the tempura mashed potatoes since everyone seems to rave about them. Right before our food was served we were informed that the mashed potatoes weren't available. Both of our sandwiches were just okay. The food and experience would usually garner a 3 star rating but the fact that the food is so outrageously overpriced results in only 2 stars. Charging $13 for a mediocre sandwich that doesn't even come with a side dish is ridiculous but suckers like me fall for it.

  • Marisa Y.

    Just finished having dinner here with my dad. I ordered the Reuben and it did not disappoint. I liked Izard's twist and loved literally everything about the sandwich. I will definitely be back the next time I have a Reuben craving. Even if I have to drag myself all the way to the West Loop. Server was also nice and attentive with helpful suggestions. The space is very cute and my dad was impressed by the attention to detail (creative bill/credit card holders). No fifth star because the soda is stupid overpriced. Seriously. And because we ordered the fried pickles and onion rings and they were just yuck. If you like sweet fried pickles and onions, then maybe this would be your jam, but every fried pickle and onion ring I've had is savory. The hunt for solid fried pickles continues...

    Excellent, deep flavored Ramen, good steamed buns, and nice crispy chicken drumsticks.

  • Tina L.

    Went here for dinner and had the Korean Burger and a side of fries. The portion of fries was huge - easily enough for two or three people. The Korean Burger was on point. The burger packed a punch of flavor! However, it is a messy eat - the kimchi and the egg sort of drip and get everywhere. So, if you are out on a date hoping to look good, you might want to get something a little more contained than this burger! Finally, the place had a great atmosphere going. There was plenty of buzz from all the people around and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I've heard that the lines can get pretty long here, but when we went (a little before the dinner rush), we were seated promptly!

  • Paul G.

    Had one of the best breakfasts I've had in my life here; ordered the Pork Belly Pancake and Smoked Corned Beef Hash with eggs. Order these two dishes and you cannot go wrong. Woke up my taste buds and got them ready for another day of Chicago food exploration, though every next restaurant now had a lot to live up to. To avoid a wait at the busy diner, you can sit at the bar to the right, which was pretty much empty when we arrived. Our bartender gave us great, on demand service. This was a great spot to top off dinner the previous night at Girl and the Goat.

  • Gena D.

    I am a huge brunch person so the fact that they serve breakfast all day already wins my heart to begin with. But on top of that, the food is fresh and downright delicious. I've had the Elvis waffles which is basically a banana + peanut butter (+bacon) paradise. Literally amazing. This past time I went, I tried to get a healthier option so went with the chick pea salad. Ate every bite I could fit in. And the portion was a generous size! This place is def a favorite after only 3 visits.

  • Lily T.

    Disappointing and unimpressed. I would definitely skip this place and save your money for Stephanie Izard's other restaurant, Girl and the Goat. It is soo much better. Everything we tried here was mediocre and there was not really any dishes I really favored. Things we ordered: Corned beef hash Tempura mashed potatoes This Little Piggy went to China Pork Belly pancake

  • Flow J.

    I've come here about 7 times and waited at least 10 mins for water each time. One time I even had to get up and get my own water and request a server. But, Once I got one they were great. The food is fantastic. I'm on a journey to try every sandwich and burger. The service is sub par but the management is great. The bartenders are great. The food is so damn good.

    I couldn't get reservations to "Girl and the Goat" so I thought we would try this. I kept an open mind and found that for a diner it's an A+, Good food! But I guess I just couldn't tell what vibe they were trying to give. The food was priced according to the area but it was just the atmosphere... An upscale diner??? We ordered the nachos... It's made with bbq pork, I guess it's more of a preference... it was still good but I prefer beef or chicken. The Mac and Cheese was delicious! My husband ordered the patty melt. Very generous portions and made perfectly medium. The fries were crisp and seasoned well. We also ordered the shrimp app as well. It really didn't do much for us... It was basically just presentation. There were other options on the menu that we wanted to try but we will have to do it on our next visit. We will definitely be back. Service was friendly and attentive.

    Met Stephanie Izard personally in her restaurant! she was kind enough to come out of the kitchen, where you can see her working... to signed my book! :) The dark chocolate crunch pancake and the little piggy went to china was my favorite!

  • Sarah B.

    Came here when visiting some friends in Chicago, and I was really impressed with our brunch! Ordered a Bloody Mary and the omelette of the day: bacon cream cheese on the inside with tomatoes, fresh basil, and small, crispy onions on top. Wow, I think this is the best omelette I've ever had! The creamy inside with large bacon pieces was perfect and savory, and the crispy onions provided a good texture contrast to the creaminess. The taste was stellar. Service was prompt too! The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star review... That Bloody Mary. I asked for it extra spicy, he told me it had a kimchee base and was naturally spicy, I said great. I was wrong. It was not great. The kimchee provided a spiciness but the flavor was not good. It was hard to finish. But the food was so good, it's on my list of places to revisit.

    I have a confession: we were in Chicago for 4 day and ate here 2 mornings in a row. We got here "early" both days, around 9/9:30 for breakfast, and didn't really wait for a table either day. The specialty bread was a lemon-rosemary focaccia, which was to die for. So good, we ordered it both days. Whoops! I ordered 1) This Little Piggy Went to China and then 2) Kimchee & Bacon & Eggs & Pancakes Asian Style Breakfast Tasty Thing. It's like someone dug deep into my brain and found the venn diagram that includes breakfast, Asian-inspired food, and savory dishes.. Both were so unique, exciting, and delicious. My favorite of the two would be the This Little Piggy... it's a renegade of intense Asian flavors (sesame, chili garlic chive sauce, Szechuan pork sausage) all topped with a runny egg and a SUPER delicious biscuit. The blackberries are a weird but delicious addition that tie the whole dish together. The Kimchee/Bacon/Eggs...Tasty Thing was good - different than what I expected, but not in a bad way. It was all mixed together, part crepe, part casserole, part layered-omelet. The flavors were great, and the side of vinegar was a nice touch. I really can't say enough good things about Little Goat. Across the board we enjoyed both of our meals (my boyfriend ordered the Shrimp & Grits, and the Biscuits & Gravy) and had good, casual service each time.

  • Amy W.

    We had had dinner at Alinea the night before for the start of my bachelorette weekend in Chicago and MI, to say we needed a little heavy breakfast is an understatement. Our table ordered: - Side of hash browns with cheese (for the table) - MAN these were good, kinda like frizzled phyllo dough - Side of mac and cheese for the table - I spilt the eggs in a hole with the fried chicken. I wish the chicken had been in bigger pieces - it was a little dry - but good - The Elvis waffle (with whipped peanut butter and a maple bacon syrup) - Corned beef hash- it is not chunks of corned beef but slices and that same great potato frizzle We loved our server - but were seated by the bathrooms, (even when we had a reservation and a booth sat empty upfront they were "saving for someone") I wanted it to be better. Still happy I went.

  • Pauline P.

    One of the best brunches I've ever had. // LOCATION // West Loop by Au Cheval and by the same chefs as Girl and the Goat. // SERVICE // Great. The waitress was super chill, but was very prompt and helpful // WAIT // Nonexistent on a Wednesday morning // FOOD // + Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed, pulp-y and memorable enough to write about + Bull's Eye French Toast: Soft, fluffy french toast with tender chunks of fried chicken. Great if you love the salty/sweet combo + Smoked corned beef hash with eggs: Eggs any way you like it with savory corned beef and crunchy hash. It is an American breakfast done right. If you cannot get seated at Girl and the Goat, Little Goat is definitely worth a try.

  • Andrea B.

    1 word, YUM! My friend and I waited for about 30-45 min on a Sunday at about noon (it wasn't a problem because we weren't starving and knew we would work up an appetite. We ordered the omelette of the day which was fresh tomato, green onion and tzatzki cream cheese, it was delicious!!! We also ordered the Bulls eye French toast (highly recommend), major party flavor in my mouth! I wanted to order a goat milk latte but I chickened out last minute and ended up with a regular latte, it was still delicious but it gives me a reason to go back and try the goat milk latte.

    Little Goat is an upscale American diner that serves breakfast all day. However, this is not a gimmick. This is a truly great restaurant that serves up elevated breakfast dishes in a cool setting with several great touches that remind you the old great American diners. My Overall Rating - 4 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - You see the words Diner on its windows, but the Little Goat feels like a nice upscale restaurant. But what you'll find is they've woven the diner theme all throughout the restaurant. Look around and you'll see classic round barstools, tables with metal trim, plenty of booth space, and plenty of coffee cups. It's a great concept that fits the breakfast all day theme perfectly. 1 Star. Service - Our server was friendly & attentive, and was great tending to our needs. But the restaurant was packed on a Wednesday night, and we had to flag him down a few times. Service was delayed, but this is really due to how busy they were. When available, our server was sure to get our orders in and did a great job following up. Bonus, he made a few great recommendations from the huge menu that turned out to be table pleasers. 1/2 Star. Food - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if it's your favorite it can be ordered all day! We started with the nachos - but we had no idea what we were getting into. We received a huge platter of homemade chips topped with pulled pork, beans, cheese, avocado, and plenty of other healthy toppings. If you order this, make sure you have at least 4 people in your family to share. But I was here for breakfast, so of course I order the Bullseye French Toast. This French toast dish comes topped with fried chicken, egg, and of course BBQ Maple Syrup. Sweet/Salty/Soft/Crunchy/Yes/Delicious. And since we're eating at a diner, of course we order the Betterfinger sundae. All you need to know is it comes with chocolate covered cheez-its. Bottom line, not only did Little Goat's food surprise me, but the menu & dishes were whimsical and delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I'm a sucker for diners. Throw in one that serves creative breakfast all day and crazy desserts - no doubt I'll return to the great Little Goat. Just beware they do get busy, but when you're the best at what you do people will come. 1 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.

    I came at 1156pm and was told by a friend that the kitchen closes at 12am. Not only did the waiter accommodate me, she was patient and provided me with a lot suggestions. I asked her about the mac & cheese. She said they make everything from scratch, even the pasta apparently. I'm a sucker for mac & cheese, so I ordered it and it came. It looked underwhelming and the first couple bites were just as mundane. But it began to get significantly more tasty. By the end of the bowl, the creaminess, the sharp cheeses, and the slight crunch of bread crumbs made this favorite.

    I cannot tell you the number of times we tried to dine here but were too hungry and impatient to wait for an available table. So, you can just imagine my happiness! They offer valet parking for those of us who commute the hard way. The valet parking attendant has a designated area for motorcycles. By this I mean, you self park it across from the restaurant but still on Randolph in a valet parking designated area so they can keep an eye on your prized possession. I am a bit overwhelmed by the name of my order and don't even know if I'm hungry enough for it today. My desire for French toast outweighs any negative thoughts I may be having about it. I don't remember the names of our orders but I have pictures! The staff is super cool to our furry companion. The hostess gave her a dog treat from their bakery and another stopped by with a bowl of cold water. I don't know of any other place I've ever been to where I left feeling like I've made friends with complete strangers. From the guy sharing the bench outside with me as I waited to be seated inside and he waited for his blind date to show up, to the girls we shared our table (a long diner like counter or picnic table with very comfortable stools) but not our checks with, to the hostess, to the other diners who came by to pet our service dog.

  • Renaud S.

    Was here on a Friday night for diner - we came out with a reservation for a table on the terrace, and they were kind enough to hold it for us even though we were 30 minutes late (I greatly appreciate that!) Firstly, the restaurant is located on a very cool place. Halsted and Randolph is a nice place to go out, so the atmosphere was really nice, not only in the restaurant, on the terrace, but also in the street. For diner, I had the All American burger, some fries... unfortunately I cannot remember what my friend ordered, but it looked delicious. Anyway, everything on the menu looked appetizing and delicious! We also had a few beers, they were good. And the waiter was extremely nice! In overall, the experience was very good. I recommend this restaurant.

  • Rona H.

    I've never seen a menu with a header entitled, "Cereal Killers" before. Hey now, don't get toooooo crazy. Cereal is a tried and true good ole' American staple. Let's not speak blasphemy here. I didn't have this, but I love the name of the dish, "Fat Elvis Waffles." It's two simple words put together, but they have SO much meaning behind them.. I had the "Goat Chili Cheese Fries." Tasty! They did a tried and true oft-American loved dish justice... I like how another menu header states, "It's always snack time." Indeed, it is always snack time!! They also have a vending machine outside that dispenses, for free, adorable little Girl and the Goat pins! All you hipsters can affix this to your backpack to show your pride associated with Little Goat! Clever marketing ploy! See, you've gotten me talking about it now!

    I love this place! It's great for greasy diner food with a special twist. The drinks are delicious, too. It's a great place to go with friends; the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is friendly. The only thing I dislike is how loud it is inside. Favorite menu items: goat chili cheese fries and the Moscow goat

  • Karen X.

    The only thing I can say about this place is that it is very unique to try once if you're visiting from out of town, but if I was from Chicago or lived in the area, I honestly probably wouldn't frequent the place. Little Goat is essentially a diner with a menu not expected of a diner which is really cool and interesting, but at the end of the day, it's diner food: greasy, probably not the healthiest, but without the great prices of a regular diner. If you're going to try something unique, go for the pork belly pancakes - very good and very different. The smoked pork and toffee shake was also great (tasted like a salted caramel shake). The space feels like a slightly upscale diner but again, it's part of the experience. Overall, glad I tried it, experienced the hype, but probably won't be going again on my next visit to Chicago

    My mom brought us here because she adores their breakfast foods and is a major fan of the experience from this restaurant altogether. She gave us a brief background about how this restaurant started, and it was a very inspiring and admirable story about somebody who really stayed true to their culinary dreams and is expanding their business! Our waitress was to-die-for adorable. She was perky, polite and had great recommendations for their menu. I love that she was honest in saying what she did and didn't care for. She was just really fun to interact with! We ordered breakfast foods only, and a large array of them at that. Instead of ordering any entrees, we simply ordered a smorgasbord of different sides such as the Cheesy Grits, Sourdough Toast, Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Bun, Hash Browns, and the Tempura Mashed Potatoes. Everything was so good! Our food disappeared in seconds it seems. To start, you must order the Cheesy Grits. Hands down, must. Also the sourdough toast because it is buttery, crispy and basically sent from the Gods. I have no idea what they do to make it taste so wonderful, but I recommend it for days. The hash browns were lovely; perfectly browned and crispy just the way I love. And I thought the Tempura Mashed Potatoes were amazing. The presentation was beautiful. They come in a little fried shell almost, and on the inside is this soft, heavenly mashed potato with great flavor. A very complimenting dash of BBQ is glazed over top and it comes with relished carrot on top. I highly recommend this as well. As a matter of fact, just order everything I mentioned. I cannot wait to come here again in the future! What a great experience.

    Who: friends Where: west loop When: dinner What: Asian salad, Revolution hibiscus ale Why: Really enjoyed this place. After a busy day trekking around Chicago, it was nice to settle down at Little Goat's patio in the hip West Loop neighborhood. Thank goodness for a refreshing salad and a selection of Revolution beers. Good pairings all over the menu.

    Lemme get the bad shit outta the way first...the hostess was just not reflective of the rest of the vibe! (was there last Saturday bout 1030pmish) She was the worse ever! Not pleasant, dry, slow...but anyway...the food was amazeballs! I had a burger that was just delicious and a milkshake that rocked my socks off! My dinner date got the mac & cheese...tasty just a bit dry for my liking (no one makes better mac & cheese than me...ijs) Wish they had better deserts options but they change Im guessing but the milkshake was more than enough! But I really enjoyed the vibe...great service, the music was the BOMB...just a great late night joint that serves breakfast all day! Most def will be returning....actually this Friday! lol

    Couldn't get reservations for the Girl and the Goat so my friends and I tried the next best thing. We got reservations and still had to wait about 15 minutes, which is understandable given the popularity of Little Goat. We ordered the Bulls Eye French toast that came with fried chicken and strawberries. This was by far my favorite dish. The French toast had more egg content than normal French toast, but it worked and I really liked it. The fried chicken and strawberries and syrup perfectly complemented the French toast. SO GOOD. Definitely hit the bull's eye on this one. We also ordered the Fat Elvis Waffles. The peanut butter-butter was delicious, but I felt like there was not enough of it! Maybe because it was so good.... The dish also had bananas which went well with the waffles. Overall a good dish, but more peanut butter-butter please! In addition, we ordered two sides. Mac n Cheese and the Cheesy grits. The Mac n Cheese was really good! The Cheesy grits were just average and nothing really special. Wow, Chicago has such good restaurants and this is definitely one of them! I look forward to coming back when I visit Chicago again!

    We had a great time at this spot. The fried mashed potatoes were perfect and worth coming back for. I only wish we'd had time to come back and explore the menu further, because it's very well done.

    My husband and I came here on a Wednesday evening to celebrate my birthday. It was just the two of us and we were able to get a table (with his reservation). This is a cute diner - I love the atmosphere - it's your modern-day diner. Our waitress was very nice, too. We started with the hot crab dip and side of mac and cheese. The hot crab dip is cute - it comes with Ritz crackers.. lots of CHEESE and possibly little crab? It was pretty hearty but delicious. The mac and cheese was good. For entree I had the Little Pig who Went to China. I really like the cheddar biscuit but I did not like the pork sausage that came with it. It comes with two eggs in the middle which was delish.. came with blackberries which was more decor to me than taste. My husband ordered the bulls eye french toast. His dish was very heavy! They have eggs inside the french toast that's loaded with lots of syrup. It was definitely a fusion dish - but he could only finish half of it. He likes it, but just felt very guilty after eating it. Our tab ended up being around $66.. I would come back and try something else. The dishes with the kimchi (not the kimchi pancake) really interests me!

    Had the best time with my girlfriend here today. It's her birthday. Couldn't do dinner because of scheduling problems so I was already kind of in hot water. The service made this a distant afterthought. Really went above and beyond. The food is outstanding. This place might be my fav lunch spot now.

    After trying The Girl & the Goat on my last trip to Chicago, I was very eager to try Little Goat, mostly because it was a little bit more focused on diner comfort food, and also didn't require long waits or reservations months in advance. Little Goat has the feel of a modern diner, and it seems to attract both tourists and locals alike. The menu has all the diner offerings you could want: breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, and supper items. Yet, all of these dishes seem to be a twist on their respective classic versions. We ordered the goat patty melt, pork belly pancake, and the Korean goat burger. I wasn't pleased that the burgers didn't come with fries, but we ordered a side of the smoked fries, and they were great. The potatoes were cut just right, and the smokey flavor was pretty addicting. The patty melt was awesome, with just the right amount of goat to bread, and the pickles provided the sourness and crunchiness. The pork belly pancake was well-balanced with the vegetables and pork belly. The Korean goat burger came with an egg on top, which was super rich and delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful with recommendations, but seemed to forget about our table at times. Prices are fine, although again, I think the sandwiches/burgers should come with fries. Just a pet peeve of mine. I really would like to try the Goat Almighty, which is the colossal goat burger with BBQ pork, braised beef, and onion rings, and many other toppings. One of these days, I will bring the full power that is my appetite. Overall, the creativity and the quality of food will keep me coming back to try all their offerings. For a casual, yet elevated meal in the Fulton Market area, you cannot go wrong with Little Goat.

    What a cute yummy place! We came here for dinner, where I had breakfast (the chicken 'n waffles), and then for breakfast, where I had dinner (goat loco moco). The waffles with strawberries was slightly overly sweet for me, but the chicken that went on top was so juicy and perfectly cooked! I love love loved the loco moco. The entire dish - with the greens, the rice, and the other stuff. The flavor profiles just meshed so well together. That ground goat meat patty was perfect! Ask for it medium-rare, not well done, and it will be so much better! The service is also pleasing and friendly without being overbearing. They're just cool people. I love the décor and the feel of the place with its interesting wallpaper and details like baby goats inside the coffee mugs. Cute! I also love that you don't have to wait insanely long or make rezzo's weeks in advance. That's def a plus.

    This place is perfect for drinks (there is a bar), coffee (there is a coffee bar), bagels (best cream cheese flavors in the world!) and brunch (even if it's brunch for dinner). I love every single thing I've had here. But that being said, don't expect to find anything super nutritious - everything is mega-packed with calories, but very very delicious ones! All of the following were tried and approved by our party: Pork Belly Pancake - Perfect balance of sweet and savory! Machos Nachos - This is huge!! Really perfect for sharing (and caring) Chili Goat Cheese Fries - A heart attack on a plate, but worth every palpitation Fried Pickles and Onions - Gotta get yo' pickles!

    Solid three stars-- maybe 4 if you order extremely well. We actually came because the famous burger joint a few doors down had a 3 hour wait- no thanks. The food we ordered was a bit mixed. The pork belly sandwich was very tasty. This was the highlight of our meal. Chili cheese fries was made with a white cheese which set it apart from any id eaten before. This wasn't bad but can't say I'd order it again. The fried shrimp appetizer was good and made with a strand like batter. We also got a burger which was just average. All in all I liked Little Goat but can't say I come back unless I was nearby and other options were not available. On the plus side service is quick, friendly and the restaurant open and bright.

    Came here on a Saturday around 1PM. The hostess said the wait would be around 40-45 minutes or we could sit at the bar (first come, first serve). We decided to just wait since the bar was full and it didn't seem like anyone was leaving soon. While waiting, we tried to order a drink at the bar but the bartender just ignored us for a good 10 minutes. I understand that it was pretty busy, but a simple acknowledgement would have gone a long way so we wouldn't just be awkwardly standing there trying to make eye contact with him. Someone else finally gave us the drink menus. I tried the Eastwood's ride and it was pretty good and refreshing. After about 45 minutes, they texted me saying our table was ready, but when we went up to the hostess's station we were told to wait a little while longer. We were pretty confused and just stood around there for the next 10 minutes while other people came up and got seated. No one explained to us what was going on or when we would be seated. At this point I was pretty frustrated with the service, but after we got seated it was smooth sailing from there. Our waitress was super nice and quick, which I really appreciated because I was full-blown hangry and ready to eat. I got the pork belly pancake. The pancake itself was kind of burnt in the center and the pork belly was really fatty (I get it's supposed to be fatty, but this was like 100% fat) so while the first bite was delicious, it quickly became unpleasant. I did like the bok choy salad and dressing, it complemented the richness of the pork belly nicely. My boyfriend got This Little Piggy Went to China. I thought it was pretty good but I wasn't blown away. I can't quite put my finger on it but the Szechuan sausage just tasted a little funny. Maybe I just wasn't a fan of the combination of flavors. We also shared a tempura mashed potatoes (how does one fry mashed potatoes???) and I thought it was really good by itself, but a little too rich when paired with the pork belly pancake. Overall, the food was decent but not worth the service and wait.

    We were lucky to get a table right away at this busy spot. The Spaghetti breakfast item features clams so it was surprise that after we'd put our order in and had been waiting a while when an employee (not our waitstaff) announced that they had run out of clams. I kept the order and think they compensated with added crab. It was okay. Might have been better with the clams. Wife had the Scallop Tostada. "It was good." Note: the coffee's Stumptown, and strong.

    Visiting my friend in Chicago and wanted to go to Girl and the Goat but realized we wanted lunch so we opted for Little Goat. The wait wasn't so long and we got seated and the menu was say to least amazing. It took us a bit to decide but I ended up getting the Los Drowed. It was delicious! It was so tender and the dip it came with was complimented it well. My friend got the Reuben but bring from New York. Nothing can beat a NY Reuben. It was odd and seemed like all the ingredients didn't match. We also got the shrimp cocktail that was good but not worth $15 and the tempura mashed potatoes were alright. I would have opted for the French fries. Overall a great place. I give it 4 stars because there were 5 giant flies flying around and that was gross and annoying.

    I've come here a few times now and I really can't say a bad thing about this place! Korean Burger - Who would have thought kimchi on a burger would be so good?? But it works. Hot Crab Dip - so effing creamy and delicious, I had to restrain myself from shoveling into my face with my hands. It's a really good size portion too This Little Piggy Went To China - this is an absolute must order! My absolute favorite dish, the cheddar biscuits are like those from Red Lobster, but topped with eggs and pork sausage. It's topped off with a splendid sauce that you will be licking off your plate! Even the blackberries seem right at home on this plate Desserts - I'm not much if a dessert person, but maybe it's because I haven't been eating these desserts. Their Elvis cake is a banana bread cake with a peanut butter creme with caramelized bacon bits!!! Seriously, need I say more?! The Turtle Pie and Golden Graham Cake - equally as delicious. Even if you can't save room for dessert, take some to go because you won't regret it. If I recommend a dessert, it must be good because I never want dessert Drinks - excellent and the bartenders go out of their way to make drinks that you will enjoy. Not only are you going drink some really delicious things, but you'll learn a lot too, if you just ask some questions Thoroughly impressed everytime I've been!

    Went to Little goat on a Sunday afternoon to get some food. I shared a sandwich (Los Drowned) and the fried pickles and onions appetizer. We also shared the Mac N Cheese. Overall the food was really good, the sandwich was top notch and would recommend it. The Fried Pickles and onion rings were also really good. For the price I thought they were worth it. The Mac N Cheese was the only item I probably wouldn't get again. I just didn't feel like there was anything special with it. Overall a great experience at Little Goat

    Ok, ok, ok here we go with the pros: bathroom is private enough to die in. Love that shit. The bakery is fire all day, great little Coffee shop too. Pick up a real bagel in Chicago? Get the fuck outta here, major high five for that Izzard. Oh and the food. It's good, its big, it'll help you fit your fat pants snug and look like you belong in the Midwest. BUT it's no five star diner, I'm sorry, it's just not. It's not cheap enough to justify the busted seats and fucked up linen. It's not small enough for me to be cool with Justin or Brad or whatever that hipster's name was to not get me more water or a new knife when I asked all damn day. And, for real, it's not the best breakfast in the neighborhood. BUT BUT BUT, it'll impress the shit outta yo dad when he comes to town looking for some badass pancakes and a cup o joe better than his home brew.

    Dining in the West Loop feels a lot like going to a theme park. Your first ride is dodging other cars and pedestrians in an almost endless search for parking. Then you walk through what looks like street after street of abandoned warehouses and it feels like a murderer could jump in front of you at any second, but in reality all you'll see are yuppies, hipsters and college kids. Finally, you get to restaurant row and get to stand in line for 2 hours while you wait for your turn (to eat). All that happened last night when we tried to (unsuccessfully) visit Au Cheval. Instead, we landed at Little Goat. The theme-park experience continued because our waiter looked like a male fashion model who stepped out of a ski catalog. He was friendly enough, but I admit that I couldn't hear anything he said because the music and crowd chatter are SO LOUD in there. My wife and I took to using gestures and charades to communicate before finally just giving up and staring at our phones. To put it bluntly, I wasn't that impressed with the food either. Everything we ordered tasted the same. Oily. And the sauces used for all three items were also very similar, a mayo-type sauce and a sweet bbq sauce. We ordered the crispy shrimp appetizer, the tonkatsu sandwich and the Korean burger. On the walk back to the car, my wife asked if I still want to try The Girl and the Goat eventually. I told her that I probably wouldn't based on this experience.

    Came here again and ordered the Korean burger, and unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed this time around by the food. The patty for the burger came out rather dry and slightly charred--and while I did ask for a medium well cook, I've definitely had patties elsewhere done medium well and still juicy. I also wish the patty itself was flavored with kimchi as well--the beef was rather plain and definitely needed the help of some seasoning. In fact, I found the entire burger was very dry overall--dry bun, dry patty, and the small amount of kimchi didn't help the situation much either. Fantastic service as usual, but food just wasn't up to par this time around.

    Little Goat. BIG FLAVOR. The set-up is just like a diner but the food is a million times better! Everything on the menu is so unique (and fairly priced for the West Loop!). I ordered the Crab and Shrimp dip and the fish tostadas. Let me just preface: Whenever I get a dip, I always assume there are a million calories so I try to settle for a little taste while my other half finishes the rest. Well...my other half wasn't in the mood for seafood and my will power wasn't on point so I ended up finishing the phenomenal crab dip until the dish was empty-it was that good! And an order of Fish Tostadas comes with 3 pieces piled high with their marinated slaw. When it came out, I didn't have enough room so I was able to get one crunchy piece in my stomach before they took the rest away to get wrapped. I still have to conquer the rest of the menu so I'll be back to try other things!

    Five stars for the food and server, 2 stars for the wait and rude hostess. Heres why: I had a reservation at 8:30, we arrived about an hour and 15 minutes early. After a long day traipsing around the city we decided to see if we could get in earlier. The hostess said 20-30 after that another 20 after that another 20 until finally many non reservation parties were being served before us. What the heck?! We finally got seated after a hour and ten minutes. The food was a different story, it was amazing. Very flavorful with unique food choices that surprisingly taste really good together. The servers were lively and helpful as well. It is a bit loud, but overall not too bad. To recap, great food, great servers, good atmosphere, horrible hostess... For such a friendly place, why have some rude snarly young lady in the front setting possible misperceptions of the place?

  • Jinah Y.

    I love this place and think it's a perfect lunch spot! I tend to visit here when the wait at the surrounding restaurants are ridiculous and we're always seated within 10 minutes. The menu uses a lot of interesting/tantalizing flavor combos (I may be biased bc of my love for kimchi). The portions are generally just right and the price is not bad considering the quality of the food. My favorites are the SMOKED CORNED BEEF HASH WITH EGGS and KOREAN BURGER but I have yet to try everything (which I intend to)! The space is cool with its diner feel but I wish rooftop patio was open for regular diners (it's generally used for private parties). It would make the whole experience even better. Either way, I consider myself a regular here and always leave happy.

    Awesome salad. This salad made our night in Chicago so much better. It was sooooo good we went back the next day. Unfortunately, breakfast was just ok. Salty little pig that went to China ruined it for me. Overall, a nice place. But stick to southern comfort food.

    I am from out of town but this place is a MUST visit! The service and food are out of control. Amanda always had a smile on her face and was so passionate about the entire menu. Peter might as well have a doctorate in mixology because he will not let you have a drink unless you are completely satisfied. The food is outstanding and even when you think you can't eat any more, you just keep eating because you don't want it to end. Thank you Little Goat for such a great time!

  • Jean L.

    I've been here twice and both times I've been a little unimpressed. I don't know if it's because Girl and the Goat is THAT good that this pales in comparison, but I've had mediocre service both times, and while the food is decent, it wasn't anything crazy. The prices aren't absurd, luckily, but the diner feel + refined variations of traditional diner entrees kind of hit me as strange. Luckily both times I've gone I've gotten to skip the wait. I think I'd come again but never if I had to wait in line...which, especially on weekends, can get a little crazy PS I have to say, though, the choco taco = winning.

  • Shamoon K.

    Dude, are you guys serious? 1800 reviews and everyone blows their minds over this place. Like its the Jesus of diners. This place isn't bad by any means, but its definitely not one of the best brunch places in the city. So why the three stars? I'll tell you why. Its way overpriced. There's a reason why the prices aren't on their website. Even small things like sodas are 4 bucks. Want some fruit? Six bucks. How about some ice cream? Eight. Secondly, its not that good! The prices wouldn't have mattered at all if the food was awesome. We got the Bull's Eye French Toast and the Los Drowned, which were good, but for $30? Not really. The Bulls Eye was pretty substantial, you get a lot of food here. But the chicken was dry and overcooked. You really needed the syrup to help it out. The egg was also overdone, it would have been nice to have that yolk to sop up the excellently cooked french toast. The Los Drowned was good as well. The beef was succulent and came with some au jus that had great depth of flavor. But you get no sides. No fries, no chips, nothing. On the menu it said that it has avocado on it, which it did. But it was just a really thin spread on the bread. If you told me that there was avocado on the sandwich I wouldn't of believed you. It would have been nice if there were an actual slice of it instead. For a 15 dollar sandwich, that's what I was expecting. The pickled peppers were a nice touch though. I know I'm being harsh on this place. I know it. But people will throw their money at anything that has hype around it. The menu has a lot of intriguing things on it. And I know I'll get dragged back here because all my friends who visit would want to go. But when a brunch for two gets up to $40 and you realize that all you got was a play on chicken and waffles and and a sandwich, you start to question if it was worth it or not. Its not.

    This place is AMAZING! My friend's family loved it so much they ate breakfast here every day of their trip. I was only fortunate to have one scrumptious meal at the Little Goat. Shrimp and grits were a true "cereal killer" as the menu suggests. In addition, my friend and her family ordered and loved the "little piggy went to China, dark chocolate chip crunch pancakes (OMG), and the fat Elvis waffles. I need to clone the menu, steal the chef, and open my own Little Goat in Memphis pronto!

    My boyfriend and I live around the corner from here and this is one of our favorite places in the West Loop. He generally gets a breakfast dish and I have a new favorite in the Fish Tostadas. Every dish is excellent! Highly recommend! Side note: Their wait can be long sometimes so we like to make a res in advance on Open Table.

    This is the best brunch in the city. I order the bulls eye French toast every time but always try my boyfriends (he changes it up a lot more than myself) The hash browns are amazing and have cheese in them!! I am ordering brunch as I type this.

  • Gerald Z.

    Oh dear me, l do believe the little goat may be better than the big goat. Here's is why I love this spot, it has the same inventive flavors less the pretentiousness. this is absolutely my kind of spot. The caesar salad, was the best caesar I have had in my life. If this was the only thing I had ordered i would have rated this place five stars and been done with it. The skirt steak as a main was very good BUT it came with very little steak. this was closer to a steak salad than a steak, the caramel sauce actually works. the deep fat fried mashed potatoes could be so much better but they serve it with this sweet sauce which makes it almost like a jelly donut. I wasn't a big fan. For dessert I had the SMORE semifreddo, very good so good i didn't have time to take a pic. Bring your kids here and enjoy your time eating diner food elevated to another level.

    Loved it! I've wanted to go to Girl and the Goat for a while because I loved Stephanie on Top Chef. This was a great substitute. Its her food in a more casual atmosphere. The decor was 60s daytime sleek, and was light and airy. I had the bullseye French toast. It had poached egg in the center of each bread slice, sliced strawberries, and perfect fried chicken chopped into smaller pieces. Everyone loved what they ordered. We also got dessert--the fat Elvis cake was to die for : moist banana with peanut butter bacon frosting. Deslicious!

    Great breakfast place to go to. Who would've thought I would be eating kimchi at a brunch place in Chicago? I tried the kimchi, bacon, eggs breakfast thingy with more kimchi on the side. The kimchi added a refreshing taste to breakfast. If you are into Asian food, I would recommend it.

    Ommmmmmg Fat Elvis Waffles! Two waffles topped with peanut butter, bananas and maple bacon. So delish! I only wish they had put more peanut butter, one scoop for two waffles just isn't enough! Sugar exploooosion! This place was jam packed but I was seated quickly as a solo diner at the dining counter, where I got to be nosy and watch the service team. Speaking of service, they were very friendly and efficient, I was served rather quickly. I suppose the only problem I have with this place is the price...but it is in an expensive part of town and they do offer a higher caliber menu than your standard diner, so I get it. I'd return!

  • Bijou N.

    My family and I are long time fans of Stephanie from Top Chef so we were excited to hear about her little brunch place. The line was pretty long and the restaurant was crowded but for good reason. The ambiance of the place is very friendly and cute. I ordered the peanut butter butter and bacon waffles while my sister ordered the fried chicken French toast. The bacon was a little too greasy for my taste, but the waffles were great with the peanut butter. I'd probably definitely order this again. My sister likes the French toast but she was a little thrown off by the combination of the strawberries and chicken and the fact that the eggs were fried inside the bread. Nevertheless she loved it. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich which she liked and my mom had the yogurt with granola. Love this place and would definitely go back if I ever got the chance.

    This place is a cute breakfast spot but it is so noisy! I felt like I had to scream out every time I had to say something. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was about a 10 minute wait. Not bad! There were a lot of people waiting too. Found this place on yelp and decided to try due to its highly rated reviews. I ordered the cheese grits, corned beef with eggs and bulls eye French toast Cheese Grits I love grits! so all grits taste great to me. It was cheesy, loved the proportion of it since I ordered it as a side. The grits came with unmelted shredded cheese on top. I did think this was more dry than the grits I am use to having but it is still good. I was actually almost going to order the shrimp and grits which is a regular sized plate but I'm glad I didn't. I can't eat too much grits in one sitting Corned Beef with Eggs I was done eating this after a few bites. The meat was just too smokey and it was pretty much a smokey taste throughout even though I ate it with the eggs and the shredded potatoes. I wasn't a big fan of this plate at all. It's pretty much a plate of meat. Too much meat for the morning and afternoon. I have to say that the potatoes were pretty good if u ate it alone. Bulls Eye French Toast This plate is the same concept as chicken and waffles--sweet and savory. The syrup is a must try because it was so different than regular syrup. I was trying to figure out what it was because it tasted so familiar! So it's pretty much bbq sauce and maple syrup! I was done with this plate after a few bites as well since the sweetness was good enough for me Price I don't think the food was worth what it's priced at because the food was only decent, nothing extraordinary Not sure if I'll come here again the next time I'm in Chicago

    Went on a date here a few months back during a weekday for brunch when I took a vacation day. There was no wait but it was busy. I tried the Bull's Eye French Toast. It was aight. Lol. Unique, but not to die for. The hashbrowns with cheese were good. The cheese is a strong-flavored white cheese though, fyi. Parking was gruesome, as expected. I would like try this restaurant again though.

    The food was yummy. We had the shrimp + grits, Cinnabun, and biscuits + gravy. Locally farmed food that's seasoned perfectly. Food was delicious and definitely recommend to my foodie friends. They take reservations as early as 7:00am. They aren't that busy early in the morning but if your waiting, you can kill time by taking pictures at their photo booth.

    We were not having the three-hour Au Cheval date. Do you know what place was amazing and seated us right away? Little Goat. This was my first time coming here, and I had high expectations having previously dined at Stephanie Izard's Girl and the Goat. We were seated at the bar and we ordered brussels sprouts as an appetizer while we perused the gigantic menu of equally delicious-looking options. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding or the brussels sprouts were actually a side because they ended up coming at the same time as the rest of the food. After lots of going back and forth, I finally decided to save the breakfast menu for a future Little Goat visit. I figured a burger would be a safe way to go, so I ordered one of the many options. I don't remember now which one it was, but it had a fried egg on the top. It was excellent. Not overly salty or overly anything. I would want to try something else next time, though. I was a bit disappointed by the brussels sprouts because they were very strong-tasting. I think it was some kind of oil or vinegar they were bathed in, but the taste was overwhelmingly salty. This is coming from someone who adds salt to things that were already salted, so you know I'm being serious when I say it was way too salty. The price was right for us, which was great (about $30 for both of our meals). As I've already mentioned a few times in this review, I do intend to come back to Little Goat to try more. I would be interested in trying one of the drinks as well as one of the drinks next time, too. We just couldn't possibly fit in any more on this particular visit. We were already back at the apartment and thinking about going to bed by the time we got the "your table is now ready" text from Au Cheval. Little Goat was an excellent alternative and I suggest you do the same if you're trying to get into another restaurant with a long wait. Little Goat is definitely a destination worth its own separate visit.

    We came here to hang out upstairs a couple days ago for a roof party. Sponsored by Founders and Bells, they were offering cans from those breweries along with a pre-mixed cocktail. We chose the cocktail which was a cherry limeade. It didn't taste too strong initially but it definitely had a little punch to it. It was super crowded upstairs and folks were just lurking around the chairs waiting for others to get up so they could snag their spots. It was also a million degrees so we enjoyed just our one drink and headed out. Having dined across the street at the Girl and the Goat a couple times, I really would love to--and am just looking for the right time to--come back here to try the grub. The roof is the place to be here in the summer!

    Peter piper bread? Goat burger? Fat Elvis waffle? Fried pickles? This brunch spot has some real bright spots. Sure, you can expect to wait upwards of an hour pretty much anytime, but that's what the back bar is for!! Great cappuccino and Bloody Mary. They rotate in killer beers on tap too (hopslam, zombie dust).

    One of my favorite stops. Any time I have a special event or special guest in town, I recommend this special spot! My personal favorite is the scallion pancake, but you definitely cannot miss their crab dip! Addicting appetizers and delightful dinners all around. Plus, it's cute!

    Been wanting to try this place out for quite some time, and I must admit, I'm NOT impressed. The food was just ehhh, nothing spectacular. The group started off with the nachos which were supposed to be BBQ style, there was barely any hint of BBQ sauce, they were stingy on the cheese and sour cream. The chips themselves were really good though. I wouldn't order them again. I ordered this sandwich with turkey and ham with their "special" sauce which was basically just mayo... They put waaaaay too much on, I could barely eat it. Also, for 13 bucks you think that w any sandwich u would get fries, but nope, everything is la carte. Not sure what the big buzz is about this place, I wouldn't return. Oh, I will say that our service was good though! We had a sweet lil waitress who was a complete doll!

    Little Goat Diner gives you a true diner experience with gourmet food. I was totally blown away. When I arrived there was a huge crowd outside so I knew the waiting list was long. I didn't care, I was going to wait it out. Then when I told the hostess I was a lone diner, she informed if I didn't mind sitting at the counter, she could seat me immediately. Sometimes it pays to eat alone. Once I was seated, the two girls to my left were finished and leaving. I quickly chatted them up for recommendations and they said I had to experience the Brussels Sprouts. I shared with them my recent love affair with Brussels Sprouts and how I hated them as a child. They both confessed the same thing, so I knew I had to try them. I'm fan of Bloody Mary's, especially on a Sunday morning. However, I am also a big fan of a Moscow Mule. When I saw a Moscow Goat on their cocktail menu, I knew it was meant to be. Their Moscow Goat is Bombay Dry Gin, Ginger Beer and Grapefruit with lime garnish. Oh, so refreshing. If only we could start every morning with one of these. I had every intention of having breakfast, since they serve it all day. However, since it was nearly 1 PM and the girls had recommended the sprouts, I had to change to my lunch plan. I was going to try their Ruben, I wanted to add a new entry to my list here on Yelp. Then as I was talking to my hispster waiter, I had a sudden piffany. I'm at the Little Goat DIner, so I should eat goat. I selected the Kilgus Goat Burger as my sandwich. For those of you have not tried goat before, don't be scared, give it a try. My burger was just as flavorful as any beef, lamb or bison burger. It was served on a Sesame Seed bun with the traditional burger garnishes. I had my pickle, onion, special sauce (what would a burger be without special sauce), lettuce and tomato. There was no need for ketchup or mustard, this burger was a winner just the way it was served. The Stir Fried Brussels Sprouts were a little too crunchy for me. and could have used a lttle more seasoning. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but my favorite sprouts are at The Pump Room. I can not wait for my next trip to Chicago, I'll be back at the Little Goat Diner for breakfast. I've gotta try those biscuits and gravy.

    Good food and drinks. Fun places. On the bar side around closing time we got complementary cookies and whoopi pies. The bartender was really nice as well.

    I suggest the hash browns. The hash browns were super skinny, and for lack of a better word, "browned" perfectly. Do not skip this! I had the cuban breakfast sandwich, which was the special of the day. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was pretty delicious. Enough so that I want to come back and try more items. There are a lot of options for breakfast, and time and care is put into preparing your meal, so everything looks fancy when it comes out. For that reason, it's a little pricey for a breakfast diner, so I think of this place as more of a special occasion breakfast than anything else. I was here super early in the morning...maybe around 7, and there were maybe 3 other people here (they did just open). More people started filing in later, so I don't know how crowded it gets around 10-12, but you're sure to have plenty of options to sit if you like to wake up early.

    I have always enjoyed "Girl & the Goat" in Chicago so when I was in town, I visited the sister restaurant just across the street. The Little Goat is more casual with a diner setup. It's a great place for brunch with friends on a weekend. After scanning the menu, a few things caught my eye: Bull's Eye French Toast, the Brussels Sprouts with Almonds, and the Blenheim Spicy Gingerale! (My friend got a salad.) The food is tasty and the portion is very generous. I end up taking half of my french toast to go in the end. I think Chef Izard has done a great job distinguishing The Little Goat from the Girl & the Goat while maintaining the quality of each dish. If you love brussels sprouts, I would not hesitate to recommend her brussels sprouts! (I only wish she would also offer her cauliflowers and green beans here!)

    The Little Goat is like a diner in the sense that it has a huge, bright interior with a raucous and cheerful vibe. It is like a diner in the sense that it seems to be home to everybody -- couples with kids, couples on double dates, older folks, and a pack of almost a dozen teenagers at a giant table together. And it is also like a diner in that it has a giant menu, with both breakfast dishes and savory dishes served all day, and a dizzying organization that makes it hard to even decide what kind of meal you are eating. (Cinnamon bun? Cocktail? Sandwich? Salad? Coffee? Fried pickles? All six at once?) It is unlike a diner in the sense that the food is intensely flavorful and really really good, from start to finish. The coffee is dark and strong, the cocktails are well-balanced, the fried pickles are briny and crunchy, the cinnamon bun isn't too sweet, the salad is packed with both vegetables and more decadent treats, and putting kimchi in a reuben sandwich was an inspired idea. (Yes, we did get all six at once. It was one of those days.) And all of this was cheerfully and enthusiastically provided by a helpful server who helped us navigate the menu, finagled multiple substitutions in our order, and otherwise shattered all of the usual diner stereotypes. After one visit, I already wish I went more often. Indeed, I wish I lived next door.

    The Girl and the Goat comes up on many foodies' lists for must visit restaurants in Chicago. Since I knew I would be dining solo, I thought their more casual sister restaurant, Little Goat, would be a better fit. I got sat at the last seat of the bar right next to the loud busing station. I was hoping for a better spot since I made reservations. It was a busy Sunday night though so there weren't many spots available. My waitress pointed out all the good vegetarian choices on the menu, and I realized I would be just as spoiled with choice as I had been at the veg restaurants I had already visited. After much internal debate, I went with the parathas burrito since it seemed like the least likely thing I could find at home. The burrito was indeed unique and tasty, especially with the kidney bean salad topping. The only thing that stopped it from being a "wow" dish was the overcooked eggs. I really wanted some runny yolks. Little Goat also has a nice cocktail menu. I started with their spicy coconut drink which was ok, but my second drink, Eastwood's Ride, kicked major ass. It's their spin on a Moscow Mule. Usually I don't get excited about vodka drinks, but I would suggest seeking this one out. I was feeling pretty piggy after my meal and inquired about a to-go cookie, but they were already sold out. Maybe next time.

    Overpriced and overrated. I was disappointed after all the buzz about this place. It was not that exciting, just located in a bourgeoisie area. Just go to Portillo's for diner food.

    I've been here twice now - once for dinner and once for brunch. Once with just adults and once with my 2 year old in tow. And both times, I had a great experience from beginning to end. This place is one of those rare gems that bridges the gap between the kid-laden and the kid-free. First off, the food is really tasty. Fresh and innovative and homey. I ate their Asian egg bacon kimchi thing for brunch, and despite the suspicious-sounding name, it was delightful. They even put some thought into their kids menu, which is rare and appreciated. I had wonderful, friendly but not overly friendly service both times I went. Servers are more than happy to answer questions about the menu. Also, at brunch, my server made a particular effort to pour the coffee away from my toddler, which made me happy. Because nothing ruins brunch faster than a trip to the emergency room. And parents of young children - get this. The bathrooms are singles. They do NOT have scary automatic flushes. And they have paper towels that you can use instead of scary hand dryers. Non-parents....um, well, the bathrooms are clean and singles, so yay privacy. And they accept reservations. On Open Table, so you don't even have to talk to anyone. Huzzah!

    I come here soley for those delicious blueberry pancakes. I have been here at least three times. The first time the blueberry pancakes won me over. I also had the hashbrowns. Maybe it was just that day, but man, those were greasier than even regular diner fare hashbrowns. I also had a sausage link, I think it was the chicken sausage, i've had better. My second visit I just wanted to try eggs, a different breakfast meat and toast with coffee. It was solid for what it was but it forever stuck in my mind that this is a place for me, just to get blueberry pancakes. :) maybe I will try something else later, but it's those blueberry pancakes that keep me coming back.

    We loved the atmosphere and the concept at Little Goat when double dating here last night. The bright but dim simple decor is very calming and relaxing. We stopped at the bar while waiting for our table and enjoyed the chance to try a few specialty cocktails. For our meals we decided to share an entree and a salad between the two of us. My husband picked the Shrimp and Pork Belly entree and I tried the GoatoGoato salad. The salad was big and ingredients nice and crunchy fresh. I tasted mint and fennel although the server described the dressing as being an Asian flavor. I couldn't find any cheese but had hoped with the name there may be some goat cheese (?) or cream. The Shrimp and Pork Belly entree was served over noodles and was the fan favorite at the table! We agreed with the server's recommendation for this dish. For dessert we tried a banana cake with a layer of bacon and peanut butter frosting. I was skeptical of whether a dessert could be truly heavenly without chocolate but alas it is true! I could have died and gone to heaven if eating this for breakfast. I think it'd be a great addition to a brunch menu as well.

    If I can write one word for review for this place, it is "creative". If you read the menu, you won't know what kind of cuisine it is because each dish has some very random ingredients together. Like the quesadilla I ordered, there were chive, cheese and blueberries in it. I also sneak tasted some other dishes my colleagues order. I think the fish dish was the best of the night.

    I have been to little goat 3 times (waiting for reservations at girl and the goat to arrive...). Luckily the space is super big because it's always busy. Sometimes you can snag a seat at the bar. But no worries. Go to the bakery and get some dope treats and some sludgy coffee. The food is great. Kimchi tasted a little weird on the tasty Asian thing. Don't order of you are in the conventional pancake mood. Everything else I've had has been killer. Always get the bread of the day.

    What to say that hasn't already been said? This place is great. The décor is diner chic with some industrial lighting touches. When you walk in, you are faced with the dining room. Open and inviting, it has lots of booth seating, as a diner should. We had to wait for a table. So we headed to the bar for cocktails. I had the Mickey Blue Eyes. So yummy! Refreshing but not overly sweet. When we sat to eat ,we met our waitress. The lovely Camille, who was super sweet and knew the menu inside and out. We started with the Nachos. Lovely but super filling. The chips themselves are house made. They look deceptively light because some are puffed from the frying. The toppings were great. In truth, it could have used something spicy to liven it up. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Sandwich. Yes, sir! The pork was thin and perfectly breaded and fried. It was a divine pork cutlet. It was served on house made white bread. According to the waitress, I should have delighted in the texture difference between the crispy pork and soft white bread. I didn't think the white bread held up well with the hot pork. Just my opinion for what it's worth. That said, I'd order if again. The pork was the bomb. We also ordered fries that we totally didn't need. They were seasoned with a house made seasoning (are you seeing the theme of fresh and house made? loved it!). It gave the fries an awesome smoky flavor.

  • Vivian L.

    For all the hype about this place, it was quite a disappointment. For starters I was most excited for the hot crab dip with ritz crackers. It was really heavy and cheesy. I could barely taste the crab flavor. It was overwhelmingly rich and the ritz crackers did not help to balance the richness. For my meal I ordered the fried chicken. I was expecting a fried chicken like from KFC but way better. Nope I got a weird deep fried chicken. I've had chicken from roscoes and like how they make it so I was not happy with my chicken. I will say that it was moist but it was much too flaky. My fiancé ordered the shrimp and pork belly noodles. That has way too much salt and the shrimp was over cooked. His brother ordered the ravioli and he was satisfied with his order. Maybe I should have ordered that... What saved this place from a 1 star was the ooey gooey cinnamon bun. It was so delicious and just melted in my mouth. The bread was so soft and fluffy. I loved it and ate it before my main meal came out. I left with an uneasy stomach. It was much too heavy for my taste. Sadly to say I will not be coming back to this restaurant. Farewell little goat.

    I really didn't like this this place as much as I thought I would. I understand there's a fusion going on but wasn't to my satisfaction. I had the porkbelly pancake and there was too much flavors going on and i didn't really like it. It kind of felt like I was eating more of a salad than a pancake so I was pretty disappointed. We also got breakfast tacos to share and it was really unique since there was eggs in it and that tasted a lot better than the porkbelly pancake. My friend had the Korean burger and it was pretty good just really messy to eat so be careful.

    Between 4 and 5 stars I often don't know exactly which one to choose, but they are very similar. Anyways, the Little Goat. I enjoyed it so much. Being in Chicago occasionally for business (whish I had the pleasure so much more often, but hey, better than not at all, right?!) I am always interested in enjoyable breakfast joints, because when it's up to me that is my main meal for the day til dinnertime. And being a fan of retro the Little Goat is just ideal. It has leather (fake? real? probably fake, but still classy!) cushioned seats, this time not in wine red, but in sh... (STOP right there!!!) anyways, in brown. They go so far, or rather someone in the past did (and he or she did so often enough!) to cushion the entrance side walls with the stuff. Oh, the 50's (I THINK it is a 50's thing, I am not SURE...). One wonders why the entrance walls, but then again, if you come here to eat on a weekend noonish it makes perfect sense, because plenty of other hungry brunchers stand in line with you and if it happens to be cold outside they won't stand "in line" but "in crowd" (a heard of little goats?), anyways, you are protected by the cushioned walls from being squeezed against a cold, hard surface. But luckily, alternatively, you can leave the counter people your cell phone number and go for a walk, which is nice, as the wait might be longer than 20 minutes. The food is rich, interesting and I can afford it. Three great things. I would like to put a spotlight on the "Fat Elvis" and also upload a photograph, as if I only describe it some of us would not believe it is true. So you get waffles with balls of peanut-butter, syrup, sliced bananas and tiny bacon specks-bits. I have not weighed it all, but as a rough estimate I guess that might be a 1000 calorie breakfast dish. You may think that can't be healthy, but if you eat apples and carrots til dinnertime you probably did yourself some good anyhow, because your soul had so much fun eating it and the psychology of food should NEVER be underestimated in questions of truly healthy nutrition. (If that does not convince: bananas contain plenty of potassium and pork is a great source of Vitamin B... so there: justified!) There is also a "Little Goat Bread Bar" right next to the diner, which is an even weirder place where you can have cocktails with your super-mega-ten(?) layer sandwich for breakfast and be incredibly chique whilst sitting and eating it. There are cities in America where ideas like that might seem way over the top to me, because whilst I appreciate great food I still think other cultural achievements should come first and THEN we wash it down with a latte. In Chicago however a wild bread-bar like this seems just the thing and not out of place, as the city has other cultural enrichment to offer as well, not only food or coffee. Apparently Little Goat has a connection with Stumptown Coffee (sustainable coffee farming) which is certainly worth the thought and praise, and apparently they also have a roof garden, which I have not seen, but I understand you can drink and dance there for New Year, or rent it for your wedding. Cool, sounds very fun. I waited, ate and was definitely satisfied, gladly coming back to do it all again. Oh, one more thing: the wall paper is a psychedelic experience per se, limit staring at it to 2 (in words: "two") minutes maximum and only if you come in sober, or you might freeze up and they have to carry you out.

    Amazing hipster gastropub spot. Seriously great food, great cocktails, great ambience, and priced well. They have a lot of neat stuff on the menu, a lot of pork belly, and goat dishes, as well as some fun interpretations on comfort food as well as breakfast. You need to check this place out! Quick recommendations: (we had dinner here) Smoke and a Pancake (cocktail. .. whiskey) Nachos ( great for sharing) Shrimp and pork belly noodles (entrée ) Lamb ribs (entrée) Mac n Cheese (side) Toffee and bacon milkshake ( yes... trust me. ... pair it with a shot of whiskey... pour it right into the shake )

    This place is ok, and maybe I just had my expectations set too high due to all the hype, but our party left a little disappointed. Some of the things we ordered were better than others, we really enjoyed the tempura mashed potatoes, but the corn was pretty salty. Two people at our table order the skirt stake medium rare, and both had it brought to them well done. I had the Goat Almighty burger, and aside from it being an impressively large burger, it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. Salty, but lacking much other flavor. The atmosphere is that of an old American diner, which we enjoyed, but the noise level was so loud, we found it difficult to speak with the other members of our party. Service, on the other hand, was fantastic. Both people who helped us were polite, friendly, knew the menu, and we're just good at their jobs. We'll definitely try it again, as this place has a huge menu, but I think we'll give it a while before we do.

    Oh my! I didn't think it was possible after 2 full days of eating and being un-wowed by the culinary scene in Chicago. So after changing my search strategy to just high ratings, not necessarily the most reviews on Yelp, I came across Little Goat, which looks really cute and they do get high marks, but not necessarily the most reviews...so we make our way... It's a little further than the places we have been going to in the downtown area. We finally start to walk up and I get a good feeling at just the way the street it's situated on. We walk in and wow, it's so cute! I love it! It's got this retro earthy feel...lots of character! That's what I've been missing on our trip. I mean we liked RPM, but it didn't have much character. We sit in a cute little 2 seater booth and the server, our wonderful Sara, greets us. She helps us through the menu, Matt is being healthy and boring so he makes his own omelette and I follow her suggestion and get the Prathas Burrito (indian flatbread . sunny side eggs . avocado-bean salad . chili pepper sauce . sheep's milk cheddar), $13 and I also get one Sourdough pancake. I was a little apprehensive about the burrito, but man when it came out and I tasted it, wow, it was exactly what I wanted! It was tasty, creative, but actually tasted somewhat healthy too. It wasn't too heavy. But, most importantly it was delicious! And when I finished that, I had the Sourdough pancake...no joke, best pancake I've ever had! It wasn't doughy, but kind of spongey with subtly crispy edges, mm...so good! I gave Matt a try and he agreed, it was pretty good. Goodness, please go visit Little Goat if you haven't, it such a cute place and the food is so awesome! Love all the character in the food and atmosphere! And our sever Sara...she was super awesome and helped us with our dinner plans! Her suggestions were Ada, the Winchester, Kuma, and a few other places. We tried Ada and she was right, super awesome restaurant, again character in food and atmosphere! I want to put this restaurant in my pocket and take it with me to Houston! Obviously a must try! =) Check out my blog for photos and more!

    Ended up here after becoming impatient with the 5 hour wait at Au Cheval, and was not disappointed. Little Goat has a diner feel to it, but the lights are dim and the music is fairly loud. The decor was trendy and features cute animated goats everywhere. They also hand out free goat pins by the door! We ordered the Los Drowned, Machos Nachos, Patty Melt, All American, Banh Mi Style, and Loco Moco. All the food was unique, flavorful, and very filling. The portions were, in true diner style, huge. The menu features classic American food with an unexpected twist. However, the menu lacks detail, so I would recommend asking your waiter/waitress for more information. For example, my friend thought she was ordering a burger and it ended up being served without a bun, but she thoroughly enjoyed her meal regardless. Overall, the food was great and I plan on trying their brunch in the near future :) Ps. The food is super messy. Would not recommend coming here with someone you want to impress lol.

    I may be being a little harsh on this place because of just how much it seems like it's trying to skate by on the reputation of the nearby and affiliated Girl and the Goat. This place is good, fine, whatever -- but if you've made it this far, save your money, make the leap, and get a reservation for dinner at the Girl and the Goat across the street. I came here for lunch, and there is a solid diner feel. The place is well lit, the menu has lots of good options, and it seems like it could even be a good breakfast/brunch option -- in which case, by all means, come here; I don't think that G&G has an early option. But, honestly, the food wasn't all that interesting, just good. The prices were a little higher than I thought they should be, probably because of the brand and affiliation. ($10 for a grilled cheese? $13 for a sandwich?) And so I really wouldn't come back. But, it's a fine option for lunch if you're in the neighborhood.

    I decided to come here for a drink and small appetizer before heading over to AU CHEVAL for dinner. I wanted something light so I ordered the shrimp cocktail and a glass of wine. Service was very friendly and nice. Most dishes served here are breakfast and huge servings. Wine was served in a Drinking glass which was odd. Anyway , I prefer the BIG GOAT across the street vs this joint.

  • Nicole B.

    At 3:30 PM, the place was still hopping with a long wait but the food is well worth the wait. We decided to go with both a lunch item and a breakfast dish. The lunch dish was the "Los Drowned" which is a braised beef sandwich with havarti, avocado, pickled peppers & onions and spicy mayo on a hoagie. For the breakfast dish, we wanted to get the bull's eye french toast which is basically chicken and waffles but they were out of that so we settled on the "Fat Elvis Waffles". These waffles are topped with banana, peanut butter-butter and bacon maple syrup. I'm not usually a sweet breakfast person but I could eat that again. Definitely a must visit when in Chicago.

    I've gone to Girl & The Goat every time I've been in Chicago, so we thought it was time we gave the Little Goat a fair shot. We came here for brunch on a weekday and were seated right away. The diner is really cute and I love the big open space. We ordered the bull's eye french toast, fish tostadas and side of hash browns to share. The bull's eye french toast was similar to a regular type of chicken and waffles dish.. but there was a surprise factor. Towards the center of each french toast, there was a whole egg -- yolk and all! At first, I was pleasantly surprised by this.. but the more bites I took, the more I didn't like the consistency of the french toast with the egg. The crispy chicken, strawberry slices and maple syrup were great though. The fish tostadas was a last minute call and boy am I glad we ordered it. Someone walking by our table even asked what it was because it looked so delectable. It came with whitefish and a wonderful chickpeas onion salad all overloaded on a crispy tostada. There were 3 tostadas and we only were able to finish 2. Each bite left me wanting more, but what I liked most is that the dish was light and didn't leave me feeling weighed down. The chickpeas onion salad with the vinaigrette was my favorite part! There were so many items on the menu that sounded amazing, but that only means we'll be back! I'm surprised they're open all day, but that's an added bonus for their patrons.

    We had a reservation on a Saturday night, but we still had to wait about ten minutes once we arrived. We were seated in a giant booth, which I must say I loved because it's so nice to have enough space and not feel cramped when eating out. We ordered a couple beers and a glass of wine. I couldn't decide if I wanted to order breakfast or dinner and decided to go for dinner. We asked for some recommendations on the food and our server did not disappoint. We tried the Reuben, party melt with a goat patty and the Korean burger with a goat patty. We also ordered a side of mac and cheese. Everything tasted good, but I think the prices are a little high for what you get. I did like the atmosphere a lot. I think on my next visit I will definitely go for the breakfast portion of the menu.

    I finally got a chance to have an great experience of dinning here. First I made reservation by open table. We got seated very quickly. There were crowded already even thought it's only 5 PM. No wonder why! The food is amazingly fast and delicious!! Service was great and friendly. I loved my entree its noodle seafood Dish. I noticed that they could accommodate a big party as well. This place is good for friends and family get together!

    Interesting place in West Loop that mixes Asian flavors with classic Southern feel. Everything here is a mixture of excellent flavors and flavors. I ordered the Tonkatsu sandwich, which was a double deck sandwich filled with two huge slabs of fried pork, cheese, and sauerkraut. The sandwich was so good I had to purposely save half of it for later because future me would love it even more as a late night snack. Everyone in Chicago needs to come here at least once a month.

    My friend and I were showing our two friends from out of state around Chicago and we picked this place for dinner. Valet parking around this area is $12 for the first 4 hours. Or, if you are feeling lucky, you can try to find street parking, I think it was $4/hour, 2 hours max. We went for an early dinner on Friday so finding street parking wasn't too bad if you don't mind walking for about five minutes. We got seated right away when we arrived around 5 PM but when we finished eating and left around 7 PM, we noticed there was a group of people waiting to be seated so if you want to beat the crowd, come before 7 or make reservations! I ordered the Reuben sandwich since I have never had a Reuben before and wanted to give it a try. The corned beef was good but I don't really like the kimchi and kraut that was also in the sandwich. It made it very sour and tangy. It was a good portion for a sandwich, I was pretty full after eating half of the sandwich. I also got to try a bite of my friend's Los Drowned and I definitely liked that one more. It had more flavor and I enjoyed the braised beef that it had. This sandwich did get soggy pretty fast so you should eat fast with this one if you don't like soggy sandwiches. My other friend ordered the breakfast spaghetti w/ clams & crab and he said it was horrible. He did not enjoy his meal at all. And from the looks of it, it did not look appealing at all. Overall, service was great but the food, not so much. Total came out to about $80 for 4 people with food and drinks. Note, Little Goat Diner is a less upscale version of Girl & Goat. I believe they have the same chef.

    The service left a lot to be desired. The server was very nice, but inattentive. The place was packed, so this can be forgiven. We had to ask for glasses and plates multiple times, and both took about 20 minutes. The food was awesome, and we will be back, because at the end of the day it's about the food. If you love mashed potatoes, try the mashed potato tempura. The best thing we had was the crab appetizer. My friends and I were fighting over it, and if you're interested I believe the exact recipe is online. Either way, you have to try it here. The bullseye French toast was flavorful and something different from your run of the mill French toast. The cheese grits were some of the best I've had. The macaroni and cheese was nice and creamy, just like it should be. The cookies were fresh and a nice snack after a filling lunch. There are so many menu options that you have to come here multiple times to try everything you would want to try.

    This is one of my favorite spots. Whether you are grabbing an appetizer or milkshake or dinner with friends, it is a great hangout. The service is also fast and the food will never disappoint. I always get the Dairy-Free chocolate milk shake and the crab dip (served with Ritz crackers).

    I've just eaten the most bizarre and delicious breakfast in my life. The Little Goat's menu has an "Asian Thingey." The dish is a stack of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and kim chi. There are some mung beans on top and a small shot of fish sauce on the side. The whole thing works. Delicious. The Asian Thingey is not a dish for the traditionalist. If you're looking for an American style breakfast, this is not your dish. The dish is going to ask you to short circuit your expectations for "brunch" and experience it on its own terms. There is bravery by the kitchen for putting an outlier like this on the menu. Little Goat is a classy, upscale-ish diner and bakery. The food is really lovely. For the bakery, they have classics (croissants, muffins, etcs.) and a rotating menu of other goodies. Standouts of the seasonal offerings were the Apricot Masala scones and squash muffins. On the dessert menu, the apple and fennel pie was a wonderful variation on the American classic. Wonderful diner execution with some real invention happening in the kitchen. Plenty of good stuff for the "normal brunch set" with enough wild stuff for the adventurous.

    I was in town for Lollapalooza and my friend and I decided to take a break and get brunch, and we quickly found ourselves at the Little Goat. What a treat! There was a bit of a wait (45 minutes), however understandable since it was a Sunday. Well worth the wait! My friend and I couldn't have been happier with our selections. I had the parathas burrito and my friend had the bull's eye French toast, both were absolutely incredible! The parathas burrito was unlike anything I'd ever had and was the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch food, as well as southern and Indian cuisine. My friend loved her French toast and claims that it made her understand the hype behind chicken and waffles. The tempura mashed potatoes were also incredible and such a unique side! The service was also phenomenal. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Chicago.

    We came here for a late brunch and called in ahead of time to check if there wasn't going to be a long wait out the door! Since there wasn't, we rushed out the door to head to the restaurant! I love the ambiance of this restaurant, it was very open, very lively and it felt like a nice place to have a morning chat with someone! My girlfriend and I ordered the Parathas Burrito and the Corned Beef Hash as the main and had to try their tempura mashed potatoes on the side as suggested! As hungry as we were, the tempura mashed potatoes was very different and tasty! I liked it a lot! My girlfriend loved the parathas burrito and I was absolutely stuffed from the portions of the corned beef hash! Don't forget to get a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice! Cheers

    Kimchee + reuben + cheesy hash browns + great service = one happy Korean customer. This is the first restaurant kimchee that I've had and truly enjoyed! It was busy but the service was great; we were seated with no wait, the food arrived in a timely fashion and everything we tried was delicious! Only complaint was the noise level, which seems to be a design flaw. Otherwise, great experience!

    Went here this evening with my husband and his work team. Everyone seemed to really enjoy everything that was ordered! I had a Moscow Goat, which as you might guess, is a Moscow mule, to drink. Drink was pretty ok, but served in a glass instead of a traditional copper mug, which didn't matter in the least, just something I noticed. My husband had a scotch with maple syrup, which he really liked. For the main dish I ordered the (can't remember the exact name) Indian bread filled with two eggs over easy, topped with a bean salad, and a side of breaded mashed potatoes topped with Asian slaw. Very yummy!! The Indian bread (not naan) was drizzled with some type of sauce which was super delicious and paired well with the egg. The atmosphere is a slightly dressier version of a diner. The service was decent and our waitress was very accommodating. She even asked if anyone in our party had any food allergies after we placed our order which I thought was a very conscientious move on the part of the restaurant. Good dining experience and would definitely make the drive to visit again some time!

    The wait was long and the young woman who did the seating was rude and disinterested. It was obvious to my party that she was seating other people first. Finally one of us asked why the people who just arrived were seated before us. She stuttered and said we were next trying to look surprised. It was not a good beginning. The food was good and plentiful. The server was good. But the people at the front of the house were sufficiently nasty that I'm not sure if we will return.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and had the opportunity to do so after Yelp's 10th anniversary party. My friend and I had a 30 minute wait which wasn't that bad for a weekday in the summer. We sat outside on a bench talking and before we knew it we were getting called to come be seated. Since it was such a nice night we elected to sit outside. Our server was awesome (I wish I could recall his name). He was funny, personable, gave me a detail rundown of the menu and even gave me a milkshake on him as a treat for this being my first time there. I love milkshakes and I love them more when they are FREE. For my meal I had the Bull's Eye French Toast and it was DELICIOUS! The egg and crispy chicken inside the French Toast was magical. This dish is sweet so if your teeth are on their last legs you may not want to order this dish. There are so many other dishes on the menu that I want to try so I will for sure be going back to Little Goat!

    I decided to try the Little Goat since I had read reviews that they had a gluten-free menu. I had hoped that they had gluten-free pancakes which I was a bit disappointed in, however the gluten-free muffin was delicious! I also enjoyed the use of goat milk and goat products with the name the little goat! I initially ordered the shrimp and grits and it came with tomatoes on/in it which I really don't like. However, the waiter was fantastic took it back and got a new entree which was fantastic! Despite the little hiccup I would recommend eating here again!

    Confession: I'm a big fan of all things Steph Izzard and Alex Bachman, but that's only because they nail it EVERY time. Little Goat is no exception. We'd been trying to get here for a long time and the right time presented itself today... FINALLY. She set out to bring her take on a diner and she nailed it. The menu is bigger than her menus usually are (typical for diners), has typical diner fare done remarkably well (including milkshakes and sandwiches), and is the right price point for the food and neighborhood. We got the bread of the day to start which was spot-on. Then I had the killer tuna melt... so very nom nom nom. We also got the mac n cheese which was a great side to share for 3-4 people. We stopped by the bread shop after lunch to grab and tea to wash it all down. (They have Stumptown coffee, fyi.) Their chai was BANGIN!! It was super spicy... I think it had chile powder in it, maybe?? If you like spicy chai, get it. It's bomb. K, now to the gym to work off my tuna melt and mac n cheese!! Such hard work, but totally worth it!! Now, to have an excuse to get down to A10 in Hyde Park...

    Waited at the bar to order food to go for 15 minutes and was completely ignored the entire time. I wasn't even asked if I needed a glass of water and nothing was offered to me. I would rate the food highly if the staff wasn't so poor.

    First of all, the service is superb. The wait staff was always attentive and did a great job in a busy atmosphere. After a few visits to the Little Goat we found the food to be great. Although, I do caution to be aware of what you order. The Goat Burger is one of the best burgers in the city. The Fish Tostadas are to die for. Their fries are great. There were a few items that we did not like, but overall the food was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone who does not mind a slightly noisy atmosphere. Enjoy your food!

    Fat Elvis Waffles. Get it and enjoy. I crave these works of art all the time. And now I want them even more. I can't even talk myself into trying something else because when I go I can't think of anything else. It is a little loud inside, but it is definitely do able.

    Love the casual diner feel, if only it didn't come with a 2 hour wait. But alas the wait was worth it and the food was delicious. We split a blueberry pie milkshake which tasted exactly how it sounds and was incredible. I had the spring quesadilla with asparagus, goat cheese and BLUEBERRIES! Yeah blueberries in a quesadilla. It was borderline genius and so fresh, springy and delicious. Our service was excellent. Can't wait to come back.

    I was raised in a farm town, but a love for farm animals, I have not. That is, until my love of "Little Goat" came to be. With over a thousand reviews under their belt (er collar?) what can I say that hasn't already been said? Likely, absolutely nothing! But they are owed my 5-stars and I shall pay up. I have a love/hate relationship with pancakes. --I HATE bad ones and I LOVE good ones. Rules for pancakes: Don't make them from a mix. Do let the batter rest before you pour it onto a griddle. --gotta relax the gluten after all of that mixing. :) And DO make them with buttermilk. If you follow those rules, you win. If you don't, I'll know and I'll be severely disappointed. The Chocolate Crunch pancakes with the chocolate butter was love at first bite. Perfect texture, perfect lightness, and perfect flavor. They not only followed the pancake commandments, they exceeded them. I mean, chocolate butter on the side?! Good heavens, that will go straight to my backside and I don't even care! "Los Drowned" --their take on a French Dip. The braised beef (tender) with the havarti cheese and the pickled peppers and onions (yum, yum and yum).... Easily one of the best I've ever had. It's messy. It will require napkins. It will drip down your chin. Maybe even your arms. But, you will love every single bite. Fish Tostada -- Three crispy tostadas, piled HIGH with lightly battered whitefish, shallot aioli, avocados, chickpeas and a harissa vinaigrette. I've ordered this a couple of times and each time I've thought I'm the luckiest one at our table. Fried Pickles and Onions --they're good on their own (light batter and piled high), but the curry dip makes them impossible to stop eating. Especially, if you're lucky enough to find your plate with an onion ring and a pickle fried together and getting intimately acquainted. --It's like when you find three tortilla chips folded and fried together in a chip basket. --you smugly snatch it before anyone else at your table can. I actually tried the Smoked Pork and Toffee Shake. First slurp --"Oh, my! My ice cream tastes like MEAT!" Second slurp "Hmm....chocolate too. Do I like this?" Third slurp "Yeah, I think I kind of do." It's original. It's different. If people can eat maple doughnuts with bacon, why can't there be a smoked pork and chocolate shake too? It's the salty/sweet combo that we all like. There's a chance I'd order it again, but it wouldn't be a regular thing. After all, it's still a shake that tastes like meat. I won't always be in the mood for that. Worth a try though. Life is a competition and how many of your friends can say they've tried that? :P Last of all, service. I made a res using Open Table and then got stuck in bad traffic. I called them and asked to move my reservation by 30 minutes. They graciously told me that they'd hold my table until I got there. I showed up 30 minutes late on a Saturday and my table sat empty when I arrived. Granted, it was 5 pm on a Sat. --before the huge rush. But, still. That is some good service! Come to Little Goat. There's a reason they have an average of 4 stars with over 1300 reviews. :)

    the omelette they have that is bacon flavored cream cheese is great. The garnish they put on it complements the crispy onion the put on top as well. The french toast is also excellent good combination of sweet and egg that I have never tasted before in my life. Would recommend this to anyone coming to chicago.

    I don't think I'd go here for dinner, but GREAT for a Sunday meal. Definitely a menu that everyone will love. I took my younger brother (college age), my mom, aunt and grandmother here and there, and there wasn't one person who wasn't happy with their meal. Much like Girl and the Goat, I think the best way to experience the menu is to share everything so you get to order, and try, more. The great thing about LG is that while waiting for your table (and there will almost certainly be a wait), you can hit up their bar next door and they'll call you when ready. Unfortunately, my brussel sprouts weren't as good as the ones I've had a Girl and the Goat, but they were still not bad by any means. The ravioli is superb, if you have taste buds, then you don't want to miss it.

    This might be my new favourite place to eat in the city. I loved absolutely everything... EVERYTHING! The decor, the music, the waitstaff and dear God, the FOOD. Husband and I made it a point to split a bunch of plates so we could get the "full experience" (or at least the closest thing to it). Going by a bunch of Yelp reviews (A.B.Y. - Always Be Yelping), I navigated the menu and chose what sounded the best to us but also were crowd favourites. Here's the breakdown: Smoked Pork & Toffee shake: I was expecting little pieces of bacon in it, but I was pleasantly surprised that they used pork fat gelato and added chocolate/toffee to it. Amazing. I asked for some bourbon added because fuck it, that's why. Moscow Goat: mixed drink; tasted like a key lime pie Hot Crab Dip: served with Ritz crackers. It's VERY rich. Like almost too rich, I was pretty much almost full before our food arrived. Save a little bit to dip your fries in later. Bullseye French Toast: awesome brioche with an egg in the middle, covered in savoury maple syrup, chicken tenders, and strawberries. Literally the best FT we've ever had. It's such a nice change of pace from the borderline-bread pudding/diabeetus loaves we're used to. Tempura Mashed Potatoes: squares of mashers fried in tempura batter, served with some Asian slaw and ranch/bbq sauce. Pretty amazing for something that's just pure starch. The aforementioned crab dip tastes awesome with these. Choco Taco: sour cream gelato, chocolate dipped tortilla chips, candied pepitas, homemade magic shell and goat milk caramel sauce. HOLY SHIT. I can't even. You just have to try it. I can't wait to go back here and try everything else they have. This little goat has trotted his way into my heart. My bacon-and-starch-filled heart.

    This review is for the 2nd floor private dining. This was such an amazing experience! Even tho it was for work, I had a great time. I mean, I probably wouldn't have been (or will not ever in the future be) able to experience this again, since it's for a larger group. And it's kind of expensive.. Anyway. The chef from Girl and the Goat prepares each dish here in the kitchen, and you can literally watch the magic happen in the open kitchen! I had a fabulous time watching as they prepared each dish, and then enjoying the food as well. I could only stay for a few of the dishes, but my favorite was definitely the goat empanada. For anyone dining at Girl and the Goat, I highly suggest you order it! I don't even care for goat (it's too gamey for me), but there is absolutely NOT gamey-ness to this, and it's SO delicious! Thanks for the awesome time "pretending" to help in the kitchen and for the delicious dishes! And for the fun experience of watching a professional chef in the kitchen.

    This is really elevated diner food. Casual, retro setting, with mid-century feel. There is an attention to detail that is relaxing and smile-inducing. Service is friendly and the coffee is good. We came for breakfast and were informed that the entire menu, breakfast-lunch-dinner, is available. Cocktails too - a really nice selection of craft cocktails - alas, it was just too early on a Sunday morning for that. Anyhow, this is really a paean to diner food - pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, burgers, sandwiches, potatoes, bread - all familiar stuff - but most items feature at least one unique twist. For example, the burgers include your choice of patty - beef of course, but there is also goat and veggie. The goat patty is really good - mildly gamey but well prepared - crispy caramelized on the outside but the inside was a bit dry. The goat patty Korean burger is delicious but difficult to eat - a goat patty topped with kimchi, braised bok choy, bacon, spicy mayo, served on a fluffy sweet bun. The blue plate special today was salmon bruschetta - this was also delicious but difficult to eat - tender chunks of salmon on clam-baguette with blueberries and grape tomatoes. Goat patty loco moco was interesting as well - this was served with fried rice, roasted tomatoes, braised bok choy and a sweet and sour sauce. It was tasty but somewhat heavy-handed with the sweet and sour sauce. Our lone sweet item of the morning was the Elvis waffle - Belgian style waffles with banana and peanut butter. Also quite delicious. This place serves fresh baked breads from their bakery next door and OMG the breads are good. The Korean goat burger bun was brioche-like, fluffy, soft, subtly sweet and perfectly toasted. The clam baguette that was served with the bruschetta was pleasantly ... uh... clammy. The special bread of the day was a spicy miso bread that was simply magnificent - how do they get that bread so soft on the inside yet full of texture? The menu is huge so there's so much to try. Definitely worth more visits!

    I was so glad I decided to go try Little Goat though this place was a half an hour away when deciding where to get lunch...! Well, I got to try only two items from the menu, but I am a fan!! My boyfriend and I shared... "This Little piggy went to China"($13) and "Pork belly pancake"($13), and we loved both! "This little piggy..." had sunny eggs and pork sausage with chili garlic chive sauce and blackberries on a sesame cheddar biscuit!!! So happy this little piggy went to China cuz it was so flavorful!! I did think this one was a little too salty though. Sunny eggs york made it's saltiness milder, yet it could be less salty so I didn't have to get so thirsty after lunch. "Pork belly pancake" was pork belly and bok choy salad with ginger maple dressing on scallion pancake, and this was very good too. Just try Little Goat if you have a chance with an open mind and enjoy the Chef's creation. It made me wanna make some unique dishes at home. Isn't it nice to find an inspiring places?! Next time I visit Chicago, I wanna try Girl & the Goat!

    SLOPPY and Worth It! If sloppy joes made with Manwich sauce make you smile with nostalgia, hurry to Little Goat Diner. Just off the plane, I savored views of the river and stunning architecture during my 2 mile walk to the restaurant. I joined nearly two dozen diners experiencing a mid-afternoon meal (2:30 pm) under the skylit ceiling with an occasional glimpse into the open kitchen. Torn between 75 options from breakfast indulgences, burgers & sandwiches to dishes that blurred the lines between AM and PM (e.g. Breakfast spaghetti 'n clams n' crab), I took a risk. Go simple and hope for spectacular. Sean delivered in service and nudged me toward the Sloppy Goat over the Goat Burger. Right on! Succulent and served on a squish squash roll (buttery brioche) with tangy slaw on top. Although I loved the spices, this made the goat more subtle in taste - if there's a way to make the goat more prominent, just imagine. Wait, there's more. The Corn Elote side dish was heaven...fresh grilled corn sliced off the cob and I'm guessing tossed in a creamy chili sauce with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkling of cheese. Crunchy, spicy, nutty and tart -- no better way to taste the final days of summer. Thanks to Top Chef Stephanie Izard for my new food memory. 74 more dishes to try...

    I am not entirely sure what everyone loves about this place. We went for lunch with a friend in from out of town. We had a cocktail at the bar, then got a table quickly, and service was perfectly pleasant at both. I would say if I were just rating service I would give it 4 stars. The food, however, was disappointing. The crab dip was basically just cheese sauce with a bit of crab and ritz crackers. Really? Ritz crackers? You have a whole bakery on premise... So we order lunch. My tuna melt was so saucy that the bread was mush. My friends' food was equally unimpressive. Our friend who was in town visiting was sorely disappointed. We had a $50/person diner meal that really was no better than the corner diner in my neighborhood where our meal would have been less than half the price.

  • Rosalie S.

    I loved Little Goat because the atmosphere was both casual and elegant, fun and intimate. The decor and food was familiar and unique, like an ordinary person could enjoy without feeling like he or she didn't belong. I came with two friends and we each ordered something different: one app, one burger, and one breakfast. The food was top notch. I got the Korean burger and my friend got the pork belly and we both commented how the Asian inspired dishes were both great. Neither my burger nor my friend's pancakes came with sides, so if I went back I would splurge on a side to share. Other than that, the price is a lot more affordable compared to Girl and the Goat but you really aren't sacrificing much in terms of taste. Can't wait to try the other unique dishes!

    Came here for breakfast and walked out feeling that this is another really great addition to the breakfast scene in Chicago. Food: We had the french toast, the loco moco, and a cinnamon bun and all were pretty excellent. Portions are large. Coffee: Features Stumptown beans. Ambiance: High ceilings, open lighting all throughout - especially in the daytime, an open kitchen, and plenty of seating. It's a modern diner feel, so it's nice but still has a casual feel. Overall, it has a pretty creative menu as far as meats featured go, and it's worth checking out.

    I dined here for Sunday brunch and loved every bit of it! This is one of the restaurants Stephanie Izard (Top Chef Season 4 winner) co-owns and is the executive chef at. We were told the wait would be around 30 minutes so we headed to the back bar, coffee bar and merchandise shop. We ordered bloody marys and mimosas, and I purchased a masala rub for $6 to take home and try. We were seated probably within 15-20 minutes. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but I ended up ordering the Bulls Eye French Toast (per a recommendation from the waiter). It was AMAZING. It's french toast with a circle cut out of the middle and an egg cooked inside, topped with lightly fried chicken and strawberries. I was worried it might be heavy but it was the perfect amount of cube shaped fried chicken pieces. My friends ordered the Fat Elvis Waffles (peanut butter, bananas, bacon maple syrup) and the Kimchee & Bacon, Eggs, & Pancakes Asian Style and both of those were also delicious. We asked the waiter if Stephanie was in the restaurant and she was working an event upstairs but took a few minutes of her time to come by and say hello. This was an all around amazing dining experience, complete with delicious food and friendly service. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

    Amazing brunch with a large menu and lots of variety. Unlike Girl and the Goat, you can get a table after 20-30 minutes as opposed to 2-3 months. The only negative aspect is the same as at G&G, which is, if you are a party of 2, you may be seated at the same table as another party of 2 you are unfamiliar with. Luckily we were a party of 4 so we got to sit in a nice booth and watch the strangers sit awkwardly at the same tables. Food: We ordered a cinnamon role for the table to split and we were so glad we did, Yummy! Lots of icing though, so if that is not your thing, you may not enjoy it. We also got an order of hash browns for the table, which have cheese inside of them. I got the Bull's eye french toast, and it was right on target! (get it?) Anyways, it is topped with strawberries, chicken and and egg. It sounds like a strange combo but it works. I will have to come back to try some more creative combinations!!

    Andrea took good care of is! Order came out right away - we ordered a variety of different items so we could share and taste more!! Everything was absolutely delicious. It's a lively place so if you are looking for a quiet spot to have a conversation probably not the place - but we loved it!

    I could eat here every day of the week. Stephanie Izzard has a knack for creating quite inventive and incredibly tasty food. The Little Goat, an offshoot of her acclaimed Girl and the Goat is the casual diner version of her incredible culinary creativity. Try it. You are sure to find something you will rave about later. We had the absolute pleasure of having Megan as our server. She was fantastic and made the meal that much better. Kudos all around.

    Went back 4 weeks later with him. I made reservations, as we had tickets to a show at 7:30pm. Called to say we'd be 3-5 minutes late, said "no problem!" We walked through the door at 5:02pm. They told us they were waiting for a few tables to clear, then we'd be sat. Welp, they sat a whole MESS of walk-ins before us, and then I saw the hostess say, "oh shit, that reservation was 5, it's 5:17!" Welp, thankfully, they sacrificed a 4-top for the two of us. We were in our cushy booth at 5:18pm. And then we sat. And picked out drinks. Then an app. And our meals. And DESSERT. No server until 5:34pm. Luckily, he was friendly, and apologetic enough to be sincere but not annoying. He wasn't our original server, but he noticed an opportunity to deliver good service and did so. His name was Carl, and because of him, our less-than-stellar start was turned around! Food was good, as to be xpected. YUM.

    Had the goat chili cheese fries, the sloppy goat and the goat burger (korean). All were delicious but the Girl & the Goat is much better!!!! I wouldn't go back because it's very rich food, but it was a great place to eat at as it is those "once in a while" spots or somewhere tourists go. Quality of the food was clearly very fresh. Servers were slow and really unfriendly. I was surprised. Our server took ages to greet us, over 20 minutes. I'm not dying to go back, but I would go to try some of the other menu items that piqued my interest and tastebuds.

    I've been to Little Goat twice-once for breakfast and another time for lunch. This place has completely amazed me both times. They have a great outdoor patio that is the perfect place to enjoy a little people watching and an amazing culinary creation. On my latest visit, I met a friend for a farewell Chicago lunch. I'm so glad that I got to eat at Little Goat one more time before relocating. The menu is so varied that I had a hard time making up my mind about what to order. I was deciding between ordering the tuna melt and a "healthy" chickpea salad. I asked the server for her recommendation, and she raved about the tuna melt that is served open-faced and topped with their mac n cheese sauce. I am so happy that I went with the server's recommendation. It. was. amazing. Seriously, amazing. Normally, tuna melts are served in a greasy spoon and aren't anything to write home about. this was not the case at Little Goat. The mac n cheese sauce was phenomenal. I can't even think about it without my mouth watering. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Chicago. And seriously, get the tuna melt!

    Bueller would be proud. Pulled a Ferris Bueller after Lollapalooza weekend and skipped work to sleep and eat. I took advantage of finding a bunch reso at Little Goat and headed over. We were seated immediately and despite my request, rooftop was closed :(. Feeling extra fatty, I tried the tiramisu shake and he had coffee. Shake was $7 and I felt I was drinking a $2.99 chocolate shake from Denny's. It had little pieces of chocolate cereal or dried up bread, couldn't tell the difference. His coffee was so strong, he used half the damn raw sugar to sweeten it up. Service was quick and efficient despite it being crazy packed for 11:30a on a Monday. Maybe all the hungover Lolla-goers pulled the same move as us? Out came my veggie loco moco and his bulls eye French toast. I tried a piece of his without the chicken and omg, it's amazing. You get sucker-punched with sweet maple syrup, strawberries, then saltiness from the egg inside takes over. Very, very good. My loco was just what I was craving, comforting carbs and eggs. The portion was massive and I took 1/2 home. I scoped out their pancakes and Mac and cheese which look equally amazing. I will definitely return the next time I skip work!

    Let me preface this by saying I am such a picky eater. The menu was hard for me to get through because there were so many odd combos. I finally decided on a pulled pork sandwich and it was devine! I am really sad I didn't try anything with goat in it... this place is always busy so be prepared for a short wait.

    I've been on somewhat of a Little Goat tear lately, but I think it's still going to stay at 3 stars for me. Don't get me wrong, the food is delicious for the most part, but most of that deliciousness comes from copious amounts of fat and sugar, and in the end, I'm not a fan of super heavy food loaded with fat and sugar. Machos nachos ($14) were described as a life changing experience by a friend. Yes, these nachos came in an enormous portion, and yes, these nachos were very, very good - especially the puffy, crunchy house-made chips. But these nachos were also a bit too much. I could've done without the heaps of cheese and sour cream, and the BBQ sauce from the made the chips soggy very fast. On the other hand, the pickled onions and peppers were amazing with the pulled pork. I'd call them the best nachos I've had, but that bar is set pretty low, and I think this is a case where less is more! Brandade and belly ($14) was an interesting take on eggs benedict. The square housemade biscuits were amazing - warm, dense, and noticeably loaded with butter in every bite. The kimchi and pickled jalapenos provided the much-needed acidity, fried eggs were perfectly runny. The brandade is an excellent alternative to hollandaise, but I think there was only one small piece of (very tasty) pork belly in the entire dish. At the end of the day, I'd definitely come back to Little Goat, I just wish they'd be a little less heavy handed on the fat and achieve the same (or in many cases better) results!

    For all chicken and waffle lovers this is the place to go. Phenomenal coffee for all the brunchers out there. Not to mention there drink menu is great as well.

    I've only been to the cafe/bakery section, so this rating is for that. I did get to take a look around the diner area and I loved the decor. It's very art deco. It seems a bit pricey from the other reviews on here, but I'd like to go back and try it. As for the cafe/bakery section, it was very cool. They have a top-of-the-line espresso machine, and they display that and the other equipment very nicely in a small counter area. It's a bit confusing, as this area is located at the front of the shop, but you order your coffee in the back. There's a small sign that tells you this though. It's very cramped in there. A skinny hallway accommodates the coffee counter and a bakery counter. It's loud and hard to move around. There are very few chairs. What I did like was the window in the back that peaked into the bakery area. You can see what the chefs are working on. Makes for a more authentic experience. As for the actual coffee, I was brought here by my cousin who loves Stumptown Coffee. To his knowledge, this is only one of two shops in the Chicago area that serves Stumptown. I got a macchiato and it was very good. My cousin got the drink of a day, which was named after a famous person, and that was also very good. The diner and the bakery area are connected, so it's easy to go from place to place. This is a cute shop with great coffee. I'd love to come back and try their bread sometime!

    Absolutely fantastic experience. The wait time for a booth was a bit long and my three year old was starting to go stir crazy but The Little Goat staff held it together for us. I truly appreciate the warm hospitality from Skateboard/Mom Megan and concern they took in finding us a booth, entertainment for my cranky toddler and absolutely great customer service. On top of all of this, the food was excellent. Definitely worth the wait!

    4.5 stars! My last "stuff my face" stop on my amazing trip to Chicago! During my vacation planning, most brunch places didn't allow reservations and if they do, trying to reserve two weeks in advance was pretty difficult. It isn't any easier at their sister company The Girl and the Goat across the way (good for dinner!) A few friends and I were lucky enough that when we got to Little Goat at 12 on a Sunday, there was only a 30 minute wait. (This is coming from a local friend). For those of you in San Diego, I guess compare waiting times to Snooze. Eeks! Difference is? They have a nice adjacent bar/coffee shop/snack stop right next door while you wait. And after the night before, the coffee I had while I waited was on point! Okay, enough of the intro. This is what you get: (though you pretty much can't go wrong with anything on the menu I"m sure) - Bulls Eye French Toast - Sweet Onion Brioche with the Egg cooked in the middle with crispy chicken pieces topped with bbq maple syrup! Noms! - Shrimp and Grits- It's a staple dish for me. I probably shouldn't have ordered it and should have tried something different. BUT I couldn't help it. It's a good thing there were a few other ppl there that allowed me to try their orders. No complaints and loved this dish! - Spanish Omelette- Tasted fresh and eggs were fluffy. This definitely felt like the "healthy" options between all of the other options. Definitely still satisfying. The whole menu really looked amazing. And I'm almost sad that there werent like 10 of us there so we could each grab a dish. OH! Their tempura mash potato appetizer. GET IT. You'll thank me later. I'm not one for the battered stuff, but i wanted to inhale this. Enjoy!

    I don't really get all the rave reviews. If you're looking for good diner food at an affordable price, go elsewhere. First of all, our server let us look at our menus for maybe 5-7 minutes and then came to our table and said something to the tune of, "okay, time to go." Didn't ask us if we were ready and seemed to want to rush us, which isn't what you want to feel in a diner. I got the blueberry pancakes. They were okay, but nothing worth $12, especially with no included sides. Meh.

  • Amanda L.

    Solid brunch place. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits since I'm not a super breakfast food girl. The shrimp was good but the sauce kind of made the whole thing more soupy than I like. Lost the cheesy grits I was looking forward to. I also has the special seafood bisque, it was good but nothing spectacular. The atmosphere is really nice and the photobooth is fun.

  • Kelsey S.

    Little Goat Diner transcends omelets and French toast, serving an all-day breakfast menu strewn with ethnic-inspired dishes. From Crumpets with Chorizo Maple Syrup to Kimchee & Bacon & Eggs & Pancakes to a South Asian Parathas Burrito, the menu is just familiar enough but with flavorful twists to keep dishes interesting. Shrimp and Cheesy Grits are my breakfast weapon of choice, though. Plump rock shrimp. Braised pistachio. Brussels sprout leaves. Buttery grits studded with green onion and warm, red tomatoes. I'll take this over pancakes any day. To wash it all down? Order "The Little Goat" - an espresso, goat milk, whipped cream and caramel treat.

    Little Goat hardly needs one more five-star review, but one more five-star review is what it's going to get! Four of us had a reservation for 6:45 on Saturday night. We were seated right away by a pleasant staff member. Our waiter was prompt and helpful. We ordered chicken strips and crab dip, three cocktails, and a beer right away. The appetizers were delicious, as were the cocktails. For dinner two of us ordered shrimp and grits, one ordered the patty melt, and one ordered the goat burger. All of it was delicious. We had two desserts, the daily special Mexican chocolate layer cake, and a sundae. Again, both were amazing. Service continued to be top notch all night long. Not a single complaint, and can't wait to go back.

  • Emily S.

    I was already in the area when looking for a place to grab a good, yet affordable, bite with a small group of friends. Little Goat had been suggested to me by more than one person as a tasty option that wouldn't break the bank. The four of us were able to be seated at the communal table right away. Our table had nearly every seat full, but there was plenty of space for the 3 or 4 parties occupying the space. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful with our orders, and we got our food fairly quickly, although not all meals were brought out at the same time. Breakfast is served all day, so even though it was after 8 PM, I was able to order the Parathas Burrito. It was the perfect combination of tasty and filling without being too heavy. I really enjoyed my meal and hope to go back soon to try out more of the menu items!

  • David Z.

    Came in with expectations that were probably a bit too high. Based on the location and decor, I thought this place would be a revolutionary diner experience. In the end, it was pretty good diner food, but at "trendy restaurant" prices. The service was good, but I guess I was expecting a little more from the food. But if you go in with normal expectations, you probably won't be disappointed. It is nice that they have a separate gluten free menu (although watch out, some of the items on that menu say that they do in fact have "trace" amounts of gluten!) I would recommend placing a reservation through Open Table, that way you won't get stuck waiting a really long time. I'm not sure I would be happy waiting for over an hour!

  • Elisa G.

    There are so many better options in that area that I still do not understand why this place is so popular. I tried the patty melt. One of the most greasy and dry burger ever... Moreover, it comes at 11$ (only the burger). Then, you have to add fries if you want and pay for them! really really bad experience. I liked the place and the environment but definitely won't go back again.

  • Emily K.

    I came here for dinner last week and shared the strawberry short shake, smoked fries, cheesy garlic french bread, Korean burger, and pecan pie. The Korean burger was quite tasty but extremely hard to eat because the bun was soggy. The cheesy garlic bread was good, but the marinara was bland. The shake, fries, and pecan pie were tasty. The service was so-so. We told our waitress we'd like to share the shake, and she came back with two straws and seemed irritated with us when we asked for a second glass. Overall, everything was mediocre. The breakfast menu looks interesting so I would go back again to try that, but I would not go back for dinner.

    A good place to bust new foodie ground, to satisfy that hankering of going to a hip and happening place DOWNTOWN, and to impress your date like yer in the know... But don't be blindly gaa gaa easily impressed or set yer expectations too high cuz its just another foodie flavor of the month joint with the cutesy fusion dishes (Korean here), farm to table schpeel, and gimicky spin on same ole food we all been eatin all our lives...

  • Natalie P.

    Ehhhh. I used to love Little Goat, but it's become so over-hyped. A 45 minute wait for lunch? Nuts. Especially when there are so many other great options nearby. It's so loud in here, service is horribly patchy, and it's really just become a tourist trap. I miss how chill this place used to be!

  • Jim M.

    Great breakfast spot in the warehouse district of Chicago. Very hip, but not so much so that service is lax. My wife got a belgian waffle and I got the hash and eggs. Mine came out first and we waited quite a while for hers. The manager came over to us after a bit, apologized profusely, and told us that the waffle-maker was broken and burnt hers. He made her a fresh one and, of course, comped us for it. Both meals were delicious and the staff/management handled the issue perfectly.

  • Cindy L.

    Came here at around 6 on a Saturday and was seated immediately. We just wanted an appetizer/little sampling of food, so we ordered some sides. The Mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever had and the Brussels sprouts were very solid. I'd definitely come back again. Some of the entrees were priced more expensive than I would expect, especially given that it's ala carte, but the flavors are all there. The nachos were huge - definitely more than enough to share and worth the price.

  • Kate W.

    Little Goat is super good. My husband and I have been here quite a few times--enough that I was surprised to see that I hadn't reviewed it before. There's a reason we keep coming back--it's really effing delicious. Tonight, we swung by around 6 for dinner. It wasn't very busy at all when we arrived, but the place was full by the time we left. We love the booths. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated without being stuffy or formal. I started my weekend of right with a glass of their house wine. The white was delicious and acidic, and only $5. Husband got a beer. We also started with fried pickles and onions which were totally awesome. Probably not the best "date" food but we are married so it doesn't really matter. Josh got the club sandwich which he said was one of the best clubs he has ever had. I went for the pork belly scallion pancake which was a little too salty/one note for me by still tasty. Neither of us finished but that's okay because we brought our leftovers home for when my husband gets hungry around 9-10pm. Lastly, we split the turtle pie. Holy was it good. I can't remember enjoying a dessert this much in recent memory. The Oreo crust tasted like they left the creme in the mix--so. Good. It was perfect and I'm still so full I might puke. God job, Little Goat. You rule. P.s. This is totally arbitrary but I kinda love the vibe even more for breakfast. I love bottomless delicioso coffee and it's just a good place. Dinner good too though!

    Really, really great experience! We arrived 30 minutes before close and received extraordinary service. Food was amazing!! The French Toast is a must!!! It comes with an egg in the middle and fried chicken on top, what! The strawberry syrup/reduction was a perfect compliment. My kids had Mac and cheese and grilled cheese. The hubby had a burger and fries with goat chili. This spot is legit! Mentioned 30 minutes before close as they were cleaning up around us, not in a way that was like 'hurry up and get out' but they were going above and beyond in how they cleaned. I used to work in restaurants back in the day and you can tell by what occurs at clean up if management cares...this management cares!

    Crowded spot in the West Loop. Came here for breakfast one day, and only ended up having to wait about 20 minutes, despite how crowded the place was. We ordered: This little piggy went to China - biscuits, eggs and sausage with a chili sauce and blueberries. It wasn't bad but an interesting mix of flavors. Fat Elvis waffles - peanut butter and banana pancakes with bacon maple syrup. Not bad, but the flavors were a little too heavy together for my taste. The service was good and fast - we never had to wait too long for anything. Definitely a nice breakfast spot to come to, and I'll be looking forward to trying lunch at this location.

  • Ana B.

    Solid food. Solid flavors! Stephanie Izard is awesome! My husband tried the little pig in China and the dish was impressive. Who would of known blackberries and sesame oil worked together?! I had the Chicken BBQ French toast. Very tasty. It was a surprise to see an egg cooked in the middle of the French toast. So glad we got to try this place while on vacation!

    Oh my God, where do I begin. As avid Girl and the Goat fans, we chose Little Goat as the ideal spot to celebrate the end of a 28 day low-carb diet thingy my boyfriend and I did and then literally risked our lives in a blizzard to get there. We made the right decision. I assure you this is not a misguided review as a result of my sugar deprivation the previous month. Little Goat is da bomb. I started my meal with The Little Goat, a latte made with goat's milk that was a little funky, and therefore probably better for the more adventurous eater, but overall delicious. He went the alcohol route with the Russian Goat, which was "decent." I think he regretted not getting a coffee beverage like mine, which was more unique and cheaper. We then shared the parathas burrito which was wow and the dark chocolate chip crunch pancakes. Though I'm a chocolate fanatic, I actually think I liked the parathas burrito more. It was unique, delicious, and the *perfect* brunch item. The pancakes were more just like your normal chocolate chip pancakes but were nice and fluffy and came with yummy chocolate whipped butter deliciousness on the side. Beyond the food, our waiter was engaging, helpful, and patient despite the fact that it was a busy Sunday morning. These traits in a waiter are a serious rarity during Sunday brunch that should not be underrated. The decor was a wonderful throwback but modern diner feel that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. A few things to note: We had a reservation because boo, waiting! But if you don't, I can imagine you'd have a bit of a wait, especially with a large group. So plan ahead! Next to the diner is a Little Goat bar/cafe/bakery hybrid. After brunch, we weren't eager to face the blizzard again so we hung out in there and he got his own Little Goat Latte.

    Hip place with a huge flavorful menu of comfort food. Everything looked so good I didn't know what to order. We had a nice quiet afternoon lunch here. I ordered the Tonkatsu (a breaded pork cutlet with Asian BBQ sauce and cabbage on bread - yum). I was surprised how big my sandwich was. The service was great and I enjoyed the spacious restaurant with its open kitchen and the attached bakery. They even have dining on their rooftop that is also used for parties (and yoga too!). I'm hoping to try the corned beef hash next time I'm in.

  • Michelle M.

    Loved this place! Service was great and it was great "foodie" comfort food! Our party of 4 started out with the Bread of the Day which was Bacon Gouda. I seriously could have eaten this all night. We also ordered the crab dip served with Ritz crackers and it was perfect. Unlike Little Goat's sister restaurant, the main dishes are not tapas style. We each ordered a full entree for ourselves: Pork Belly Pancake, Tuna Melt, Grilled Cheese and the Skirt Steak and then a huge order of fries and Mac and Cheese for everyone to share. The portions were very generous and only my boyfriend was able to be a part of the Clean Plate Club. We all really liked we what we had ordered. I'm glad I finally was able to get a table here and I'd come back again to dine!

  • Jessica L.

    This place is seriously the most adorable restaurant I have been to in my life. First of all, there is a cute little spinning goat at the top of the building. Next, the decor is modern yet retro 50's at the same time. I ordered a latte and the foam had a little flower drawn in it. There was one of those machines that you used to see in supermarkets where you put a quarter in and got a cheap toy, except you got a really adorable Little Goat pin for free. There's also a photo booth so you can take pictures to remember the cutest diner of all time. And of course, the food was very good. We had a cinnamon bun that was to die for. My friend ordered a burger and the accompanying fries tasted like BBQ chips. I had a fried chicken sandwich served on white bread with shredded cabbage, which was also very good.

  • Lauren S.

    I've been to Little Goat three times; twice for brunch, once for dinner, and I'm honestly unfazed by the place, for a few reasons: 1. Most of the sandwiches are $12-14 (maybe one or two are $10-11), and they are a la carte. If you want a small order of fries it's an additional $2.50 or so!! 2. The second time here, I sat at a communal table with about 5 friends. Our food took some time to get to the table, and they completely forgot one of our orders. They brought her some soup while she waited (saying it was taking a while, but it didn't come out for another 35+ minutes--clearly they didn't even put it in). The most absurd part? They put the complimentary soup on the bill. We got it taken off but this was one of the most unprofessional dining experiences I've ever had (especially given the price point!!). 3. If you're looking for a brunch spot that serves your traditional savory tooth when you're at the height of your hangover, I would go elsewhere. 90% of the brunch menu involves some sort of shellfish and/or kimchi (of which I am allergic, the latter do not care for), and when I was there, in need of a hearty brunch dish, I was sorely disappointed I couldn't find even a traditional eggs benny on the menu. 4. Each time I was here I had to wait at least 45 minutes for a table--and to me, the wait was never worth it due to disappointing food, service, and atmosphere. Honestly, you could wait the same amount of time, pay less money, and get more/better food for a dish at Au Cheval and be more satisfied. Thus, I have to say I do not recommend Little Goat.

    I definitely think my meal at Little Goat was one of my favorite in Chicago. I was in town for 9 days traveling for work, and my coworker and I went to Little Goat on a Tuesday night. We were able to score a reservation for 2 at 6:15 pm, which was perfect for us. We shared the sides of brussel sprouts and broccoli, which were amazing. For dinner, he had the goat korean burger, and I had the veggie burger All American style. I tried a bite of the goat burger and it was delightful -- very moist and good flavor. My All American was basically a veggie Big Mac. Just so you know, the burgers come as-is on the plate -- no sides unless you order them. We got french fries to share. Yum. For dessert we tried the chocolate cake (it was a special that night), and the caramel/chocolate tart thing. OMG. We tried so hard to eat all of the food and we were stuffed. Amazing. I would highly recommend coming here if you're visiting Chicago from out of town and want a fun experience. (Actually, I'd recommend coming here. Period.)

  • Hana M.

    Little Goat is the diner and less upscale version of Girl & the Goat. This place is amazing and you don't need to make a 3 month reservation. If you don't have reservation you will wait for a little over an hour. Its so worth it though! Must try: 1. Pork belly on scallion pancake with asian slaw 2. Bulls eye french toast. 3. Biscuits and gravy (AMAZING) 4. Crab dip. 5. All their sandwiches. I suggest coming here with someone and splitting the foodnto order more. My friend and I got lucky and we sat at the communal table. The staff gave us so many food to sample on and they were all delicious.

  • Grace H.

    Kinda expensive for what the food is. The quantity of the food is wonderfully overwhelming, but the quality suffered in expense. 5 of my friends and I went and we ordered an entree each, but we all ended up leaving so much on our plates. I ordered the goat chili and it was way too salty and oily for my liking. My friend ordered the donkatsu sandwich and it really was just mediocre donkatsu with white wonderbread-like bread.. . My friend got a kimchi pancake, and that was really interesting and delicious. My other friend got a hamburger and he was incredibly shocked by the amount of salt in the burger-he had to order something else. The nachos were incredibly delicious, and I would come again just for those. On the plus side, it is a nice restaurant to visit because of the unique vibe it provides. It gives you the air of being at a high class restaurant and also the comfort of being in a diner. The server was so sweet and nice- she got a wonderful icecream smoothie for my friend, because it was her birthday!

    Absolutely amazing food, timely service, clean space, and pleasant ambiance. There was really little more that I could have asked from the place in terms of food quality. We showed up and were seated immediately. I got the Korean Burger and Alex got the Sloppy Goat. We also hit up the mac and cheese. Everything on the menu is a la carte, which means you get only what you order and no "extras" (like the fries that folks like myself think come with the burger). My burger was fantastic--I would have liked the spicy mayo to be spicier though--there was very little, if any, kick to it. The Sloppy Goat was really great as well; wouldn't really change anything here. The mac n cheese was exceptional, except that for the price I would have liked a slightly bigger serving. I would also suggest that the burgers come with the side of fries. Even if it's a small side, a nod to the "fries are complementary when ordering a burger" establishment would be much appreciated by gluttons like myself. Plus, this place is a diner--it is quintessentially Americana and synonymous with oversized servings and fries with a side of coronary, no? Overall, exceptional food and great service. Would absolutely recommend.

    Ordered the Lostran Sandwich with braised beef, avocado, cabbage, red onions and special sauce. Like Little Goat's version of an Italian beef sandwich. Tastes great and doesn't feel unhealthy! The seating arrangement in the restaurant is great. There are plenty of booths with nice seating cushions complimented by diner style seating in front of the kitchen.

  • Sarah S.

    Adjectives: delicious, filling, creative, busy Dish: Korean Goat Burger I like this place more than its famous sister restaurant, the Girl and the Goat. The food at Little Goat is creative and delicious, but also accessible. It elevates home cooked food like sloppy joes and breakfast dished to distinct flavor profiles. I am working my way through the menu and have not had a weak dish yet. The Korean kimchee burger is particularly good- it is a buttery burger but balanced by the tangy pickled cabbage. Their homemade hot sauce is great. Service is great and the space has a vintage dinner nod, but with modern flair. They take reservations, which I recommend because the place is always busy. However, I rarely plan ahead, and frequently get seated at open space at the bar. This is actually more enjoyable, so you can watch the food being prepared.

  • Jackie M.

    Overall, Ok.. average overpriced food. I've been there few times with different group of friends. The pork scallion pancake is good and would probably order again. The little goat coffee - enjoyed it. Korean burger and the mushroom burger is okay average. Burger is probably the safest item to order The bullseye french toast is tasty the first few bites, but it was drenched in oil. Pretty cool how the over easy egg is baked inside the french toast. Short rib over fried rice - Short rib was tasty, but its the typical korean short rib. I totally dislike having fruits (strawberries) in my fried rice. The fruit was getting soggy and flavor did not go well. The fried chicken $18 comes with 3 pieces (breast, thigh, and drum). The dark meat was juicy and the breast was dry. IT was literally fried chicken and didnt taste much seasoning or flavor. I better off order from Harold's chicken or Popeye for the family meal

    So incredibly disappointed. Have been wanting to try this place for so long. Service could not have been worse. So very rude! Other tables were having to get their own silverware. We had to go in and order our own drinks. The waitress was not even mortified that customers were having to serve themselves. Came here for a celebration lunch. Leaving now to find somewhere else with better service for cocktails and dessert. Expected so much more from this place. The one star is given for the bartenders who were wonderfully helpful!!!!!! The food was all good but heavy on the creamy sauces.

    I visited Chicago for a couple of days during the 4th of July and had the opportunity to walk around, explore, and eat a lot of amazing food and Little Goat was no exception. I had the pork belly pancake. The pancake is asian influenced, so it was savory and had scallions in it which added another layer of flavor. The dish itself almost looked like an over sized taco. The pork belly was amazing and honestly one of the best things I ate in Chicago. However, the portion of pork belly available was small and for an entree that featured pork belly, I would expect it to be more present on the dish. The diner itself was extremely busy and took my friend and I about an hour to get seated. Service was also slow as the place was packed; took another 30 minutes or so to get out appetizers and entrees.

    What can I say you have not already heard? Fun menu, really nice servers and great tasting food. Totally winning combination. Sunday night walked in at 7:30 PM, and it was a 35 minute wait so we walked over to Little Goat Bread and were served our meal at the bar. Full menu, very knowledgeable bartender. We'll definitely be back to taste other interesting items on the menu.

    I usually don't review places that already have 1,000 or more entries...hell, even if they 500 or more. I always think, what can I say that hasn't already been said? But here I am writing this, so bear with me. I finally went here on a date after hearing so much about the place. Our reservation on a snowy Chicago Sunday at 8pm was not necessary, but we wanted to play it safe. It was busy, but not crowded. We had a nice booth along the window facing Randolph close to the bakery entryway. There are two sides - the diner and the bakery. They call it a diner but I think it is only a by design, a very hip and atypical one. The food is not your typical diner fare. It is upscale, although you can still order pancakes, milkshakes, burgers, etc. But they offer veggie burgers, chickpea salad, a veggie quesadilla and a few others items (mainly breakfast). In the end I decided on the veggie chap chae. Korean sweet potato based noodles (basically angel hair) with mushrooms, tomatoes and feta cheese, among other things. It was a bit salty but I enjoyed it. It was $15 so a little pricey. My date ordered the beef stroganoff with feta, which was the special. It was $23 and while he enjoyed, it definitely was NOT worth the $23 price tag. That knocked down the rating for me. Call me cheap, but it wasn't worth it. The Bloody Marys, however, were deeeelish. Nice and spicy and garnished with a cheese stuffed olive, a grape tomato and a green bean. Yum! I was a fan of those. Our waiter was attentive and chatty. His suggestions were helpful, but in the end I think I will stick to the more traditional menu items in the future. I would like to go back because of the creative vegetarian options. And the bakery also looked appealing. We capped off our meal with a classic sundae - vanilla gelato, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry on top. That was delightful although once again, $7 seemed a tad much. I guess some times you just have to live it up! And make sure your date pays :-)

    First time here. My coworker wanted to try the fried chicken. He raved about it and was not disappointed one bit! I had the braised beef samich and it was very tasty. The beef was very tender and plentiful. I couldn't finish the sandwich. Although I don't think I will return, I had a great meal and would recommend this restaurant.

    I made reservations for two way ahead of time because for a place like this, I didn't feel like waiting 40 plus minutes. The menu is interesting and I wanted to order everything on it. Everything looked tasty. I settled for the Mushroom burger (beef - not goat). It was good, but messy (sauce was oozing through my fingers) and a tad on the more salty side. The daily bread is always a good choice and I enjoyed the curry vegetables we ordered as a side. My husband loved the Los Drowned sandwich. Overall, service was friendly and the space is real nice. I definitely want to come here again!

    The two stars is for the service. Our food was a greasy mess. The omelette had a brown crispness like it was fried in an inch of grease. Daughter had CB hash & eggs. The hash had dry salty corned beef on the bottom, next layer shredded potatoes that were all crisp, no regular potato just shredded of brown crisp. Egg was greasy as well. Even the cookie from the bakery, oatmeal cherry, was flavorless except for the cherries. All that for $40. Never again.

    This place is a must while you're in Chicago. I was afraid that Girl on the Goat was going to be too long of a wait and expensive so I thought we would try their little sister restaurant instead. Definitely worth the bang for your buck. Got there and was seated at a communal table right away. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. For dinner, we ordered: - Tempura Mashed Potatoes: OMG... their mashed potatoes are so delicious! I'm assuming they also use their garlic mashed potatoes for this dish. And then to cover it with tempura with deep fry it? HEAVEN! The garnish and sauce that came with it gave it just the right balance. If anything, I would come here just to get that small dish. - Mac & Cheese: Pretty basic mac and cheese. Nothing too spectacular. - All American Burger: Patty was juicy and cooked to perfection. Had it well done. The buns was very different from what I've had. It didn't suck the juice of the burger at all. I wish I had a bigger wallet and bigger tummy to try other things but resources were limited. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in Chicago with more people so i can try more things!

    Ahhh-mazing! Thank you fellow Yelpers - you did not steer me wrong! My BF and I went to Little Goat for brunch a few weeks ago and we're sure glad we did. We arrived around 10:30am and only had to wait a few minutes before we were sat. I'd recommend getting there before 11am to avoid an hour wait. Food: The food was the bomb dot com. We started with the bloody mary's ($11) each which were delicious and spicy. For an appetizer, we got the tempura mashed potatoes ($5), they are a must have if you haven't tried them before. My BF got the corned beef hash, which was flavorful and delicious. The same goes for the braised beef sandwich ($14) I ordered, it was savory and tender. Service: Our server was great, one of the best waitresses we've had in a long time. She was extremely friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about all menu items. Parking: Street parking, which wasn't too bad. I found a spot almost immediately. Overall, everything from the food, drinks and service was fabulous and I cannot wait to go back!

    Service is kind of slow but I still really enjoyed the food. If you're hungry go next door to get some pasties.we got a seat right away at 930 but the line grew immediately after us. No reservations!! Smoked fries are. Still a definite must get. I also enjoyed my brandade and belly, the belly is so soft and tender and well caramelized. Love it! Cookies Shake was delicious too.. Many cookie bits, not just the black and white cookies and cream shake! Also tried the kimchi Asian anything omelette - surprisingly light and delicious For yelpers with a sweet tooth, the chocolate chip crunch is awesome. Amazing chocolate butter ganache thing to spread on your pancake sprinkled with coco crunch. Yay. Another note, portions are definitely too much for an average person, bring a to go box or share!!

    Easy seating for brunch on an early Tuesday morning. Wish the booth table space was a tad roomier but we managed ok with our winter layers on. Caffeine: Our special milk tea latte and little goat double espresso were incredible. Food: GET the NACHOS to share.. You won't regret it and I mean business when it comes to my Mexican food. I would come back for that and the lattes alone. Super fresh chips and generous toppings. Had the Bulls eye French Toast which I wish I had gotten the sauce on the side to lighten it a bit after filling up on the nachos. The egg in the center was a pleasant surprise to see gush out as I reached the center of the toast. Fried chicken wasn't bad but I miss the bone-in style moist fried chicken that comes with other breakfast options elsewhere as I was hoping for a chicken and waffles type meal. Overall still too sweet for me but I am a savory brunch dish person I am learning. Hash browns were great as a fresh delicious side too (prepared with cheese.. Can't go wrong there right?!) Sausage side was also amazing. Loved the house made hot sauces (chipotle and the spicier habanero option were both good!). Huge menu with lots of options. We definitely needed a few minutes to decide. Just beware the portions are generous otherwise you will leave feeling very uncomfortable like I did ;)

    I've been here twice: once the day after I competed in a triathlon (you can bet I was still hungry the next day) and the other this past weekend with my boyfriend. I'll focus mostly on my most recent dining experience here because it's most salient. It was a Saturday at around 6, which is prime time for dinner. The last time I had come to Little Goat, I had had a reservation, so I had reservations about coming without one (heh). We actually originally had put our names down for dinner at Au Cheval where the wait time was THREE HOURS. We were already hungry and Little Goat was also on our list of places to go in the West Loop, so we thought we would drop by to see if the wait time was better. And it was! Much to our excitement, we were seated immediately at the bar at Little Goat. Score! Service: Service was a little bit spotty. Our waitress wasn't particularly attentive to us and, oddly, she absentmindedly filled my water glass, leaving my boyfriend's empty, then filled his maybe 10 minutes later. We were able to flag her for the check in a reasonable amount of time, so there were no other issues. Food: I decided on the white fish chilaquiles for something different (normally I would head straight over to the all-day breakfast food part of the menu). Last time I was here, I got a portobello mushroom burger with shoestring onions on top and it was incredible. The chilaquiles were amazing, too, complete with salad on the top. I was surprised at first when these came out of the kitchen because it looked at first like it was just a bunch of salad! I really enjoyed my main entree. We also had ordered brussels sprouts, which were supposed to be an appetizer. I would have preferred to receive the brussels sprouts before our meal, but it came out as a side. The brussel sprouts were disappointing. They were cooked perfectly, which is not always the case for brussels sprouts. However, they were MUCH too salty. I would definitely not order these again. It was not palatable at all! Even though I love Girl & the Goat, I also found a few of the dishes to be way too sodium-laden for my tastes, which was consistent with Little Goat. Overall, we had a great experience. We both really enjoyed our entrees and were eager to try the breakfast part of the menu next time!

    My friend and I were advised to come to Little Goat as the cheaper option to The Girl and The Goat. When we headed over on a Wednesday night, we figured it wouldn't be busy- were we wrong! We got thankfully got straight in, as we were willing to sit at the bar, but I would have waited days for the meal we had. We split the blue-plate special scallops and fried chicken, and had the shanghai strawberry surprise ice cream dessert. The scallops, although pricey ($23 for 6), were amazing, and the fried chicken was the best I've ever had. The strawberry dessert, though, is something that I will travel back to Chicago for. Szechuan strawberry and sesame oil gelato with candied sesame seeds- to die for. I wanted to simultaneously not eat it (to save it) and eat it (to experience the sublime tastes). I would highly recommend!

    Yum but... Maybe not worth it? I had shrimp and cheesy grits and it was really yummy and flavorful but... I dunno. The service was pretty terrible. We were here for over an hour and we saw our waiter, like, twice. He did not seem to care at all about our experience. He appeared to take our order and deliver our order and that was pretty much it. Shrimp and grits were good and provided LOTS of shrimp but I was wishing for more grits. The flavor was yummy, though! My husband had loco moco and enjoyed it. We shared some cheesy hash browns and they were tasty but kinda greasy. Our friend has a club sandwich and smoked fries. The fries were awesome! I kinda wished we'd gotten those. Anyway, this was a delicious food experience but not an awesome service experience. I would probably come back if I was in the area though.

    I wish I could give this four and a half stars (because I reserve 5 stars for the super fancy nice restaurants). It's comfy, inviting, bright AND has amazing food. Every single thing I ate was delicious. Fish tostadas with the pea shoots side (leafy greens in a light tangy sauce) and the choco taco sundae for dessert. UGH. So freaking good. I also wish I lived in Chicago (instead of just visiting) to come here more often!

    A friend and I visited this Diner after a morning at the Shedd Aquarium with our two toddlers. We really appreciated the cookies and coffee from the adjoining cafe while we waited for our table to be ready. After a long morning, we were all tired and very hungry! Oatmeal raisin cookie for the win... SO good. I ordered the Reuben & a side of mac and cheese. The sandwiches are a bit pricey, considering no sides come with it. I would've liked to see you get french fries at least for a $14 sandwich. They are enormous tho, and one half of it went home for my dinner. Mac and cheese was wonderful!! Ordered it for the kids, but us adults ate it up too quick ;) Its a pretty loud diner, so perfect for families with children that like to make noise.

    Where do I even begin?! When I reminisce about my experience here I get the warm fuzzies inside. Ok on to the real reason your reading my review... Short version- sit at the bar. Anything you order will blow your mind. Service was fantastic. Actual deets- What we had: my boyfriend ordered the tonkatsu sandwich- basically the asian inspired version of a pork tenderloin sandwich. It was huge, but absolutely amazing. Would definitely get again and again. I had the reuben. Reuben's are not my normal go to but I saw them keep coming out of the kitchen and they looked phenomenal, so I thought what the heck. I am so glad i did. Bread was crunchy, corned beef was super flavorful, great amount of sauce and house sauerkraut. What more could you ask for?Also, if you order ANYTHING you MUST order the tempura fried mashed potatoes. I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you why... Why sit at the bar? Because you get a first hand look at everything everyone else is ordering. I always want to know what the food looks like before I order, so this was a definite perk.

    Their Kimchi burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had. They also have a great selection of fresh made bread in the adjoining bakery, as well as the dopest and freshest cookies in the city.

    Two thumbs up...Way up! One of the best brunches I've ever had. The grilled cheese sandwich and the BBQ Pork sandwich...to die for! Simply delish. And the service was awesome!

    Made a reservation for a friend who was visiting from out of town and I. When we arrived they couldn't find our reservation, which made me think we were going to go elsewhere, but they were able to seat is in about 15 minutes which was awesome! The menu was huge! Everything we ate was delicious and you could definitely split all the dishes. I crave the nachos, so make sure to get those! Our server was friendly and attentive despite the restaurant being super busy. So many of the "Top Chef" restaurants in Chicago are underwhelming, but not Little Goat! I'll be back!

    I love this place when it comes to casual dining at any time of the day. It can get a bit loud, so don't expect a quiet intimate environment. For breakfast, I would recommend the Parathas Burrito. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits, which were extremely watery and almost inedible. If you're into sweets for breakfast, then the cinnamon buns are amazing! Grab one before they run out. As far as sandwiches, my hands down favorite is the Rueben. It's a play on the traditional rueben with cooked kimchi in addition to sauerkraut. Pure genius. The Los Drowned and Pork Belly Pancake were also pretty decent.

    Great service, awesome drinks, great food. I have been here a few times and have ordered off of every section of the menu and it's great! The plate description is precise and if you're lost, their wait staff is more than educated on what is being served. Their service is on point as well. From the hosts, to the wait staff, to the bus boys, to the chefs. One time sat at the bar in front of the kitchen (damn hot by the way), and the chef was laughing at my friend's and I jokes. Very personable people that make your dining experience better. Coming back here for sure!

    Loved the atmosphere here! Such a cool and different kind of place and great for a laid back date night. I really enjoyed the Breakfast Spaghetti 'N Clams 'N Crab. It was such a unique blend of flavors and had a really nice richness to it. Will definitely come back!

  • Matt G.

    I went to Girl and the Goat first. Which was maybe the problem. It didn't live up to expectations. This place is very busy, pretty much all the time. Which isnt bad on its own. But the service tends to be inattentive as a result. I wasnt blown away by the food, but it was okay. Cocktails are good. Get the yoda juice, bam! The bakery is ridiculously awesome. Check that out

    This place is such crowd pleaser. I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and 90% of the time will resort to the Bullseye french toast. I am sucker for what I like. The rooftop is awesome (and the site of my ice bucket challenge). Some places big menus can be intimidating but with this one, you really can't go wrong! (even though I order the bullseye-- i tend to mooch of other people's plates and I've liked everything they've had too!)

  • Elizabeth E.

    Sometimes I think because this is a Stephanie Izard place people feel like they should give it another star just for that... I don't disagree with them that, that's why I'd prioritze this place over other "diners" but likely for it's cute look/feel & the creative items on the menu which is why I'd go or give it an extra star. But overall everything I've had has really just been A-Ok... therefore three stars! Don't hate! I went on Monday night after unsuccessfully trying to get into Au Cheval down the street. There was a short wait but not bad, less time than they quoted us. My boyfriend ended up with the Korean burger: kimchi, bacon, egg, the works. It was good, not Au Cheval good but this isn't a "burger place"... necessarily. I had the fun and crispy chicken sandwich... also good but not great. I wish there was an option to do half orders. Since everything is a-la cart and comes with no sides, I would have loved to have ordered half a sandwhich so that we could have splurged on sides. Speaking of, we did go with the goat chili cheese fries - clearly taking a day off from the new years diet. Boyfriend also had a milkshake - really, what diet? The waitress offered Whiskey and he was quick to agree that, that sounded like a fantastic idea - when the bill came and the milkshake was $7 and the Whiskey was $9 he had some buyers remorse... Will I go back? Certainly! Is it my favorite spot in town? Nawwww!

    It's a quirky diner with plenty of open space. The food combinations sound weird, but they taste so great! It's a classic diner feel with gourmet versions of diner food. I want to go back again and again! P.S. Kimchi was not fermented, but it was ok!

  • Diva H.

    Cool location and atmosphere. The server would not make any suggestions on popular or specialty items however their menu is mostly specialty items. I ordered the Elvis Waffles and it was good. The bacon in syrup was awesome. I would order again but I think if you aren't craving something with a sweet kick then don't get this. The wait for lunch was about a half hour but it seemed as though you could call ahead. I would come back again for sure.

    This place has become our go to spring/summer weekend brunch spot. The place is awesome, service is amazing and the food is great. As a person who views brunch as an excuse to eat breakfast later in the day, I decided to change it up and try some of their lunch and dinner options and was very pleased. I had the Fried chicken which was perfectly crispy with great flavor. The pieces were big and the meat was juicy....now...it also come with a biscuit....and it is quite possibly the best biscuit I have ever had in my life. So so so good. Always a great mix of cocktails as well. They do a very good job of keeping beer and cocktails light and refreshing.

    Who knew something so simple can be made so good...? Originally, I had really wanted to try Girl and Goat. However, the reservations were all booked until next month and I am not going to wait 2 hours for dinner. Thankfully, I was able to make a reservation across the street! I had the Los Drowned and my boyfriend the Fat Club, which to me was nothing special. I definitely recommend the Los Drowned!! Wow, what a blast of flavor! The bread was so soft and they do not drench it with the sauce given. Instead it's on the side so you have the choice to "drown" it if you'd like! The service was so-so.. the hostess and waiters could have at least tried to look happier..

    Last night, four of us tried to go to Au Cheval to try their amazing burgers, but at 5:30pm on a Saturday the way was 3 and a half hours long. Yikes, sorry, I need to eat, can't wait that long. We walked over to Little Goat and the wait was only 45 minutes, sold, we're in. Walked over to Lone Wolf for some drinks and about 45 minutes later, we got a text. Service is great, food is great, menu has a wide variety from diner type food to higher end restaurant food. For appetizers we ordered the crab dip, which is my favorite by far. It's so damn good! I always need more Ritz crackers, I want to lick the plate clean after. We also got a crispy shrimp that was super delicious, it didn't even need to be dipped into the dip it came with. I ordered a patty melt the first time I went to Little Goat and last night I ordered the American burger. I have to say, Little Goat doesn't get credit for their burgers. They're actually really damn good. They're better than a lot of burgers I see on top burgers of Chicago lists. Everyone else at dinner absolutely loved their dinner and didn't feel robbed that we didn't get to go to Au Cheval. It doesn't deserve to be called a backup dinner, it was a damn good dinner on its own. Well done Little Goat, love it.
