South Branch

“South Branch Tavern & Grille is a wonderful lunch spot in the Loop and easily one of my favorites in the city. The food is consistently amazing, always fresh, flavorful, and reliably good every time I visit. Service is truly outstanding, with a team that is attentive and on top of everything. It can get a little noisy during busy hours, but the energy adds to the experience. The views by the river are beautiful year round and make it an even better place to sit back and enjoy a great meal.”

“Nice place for a corporate happy hour. Location along the river is great and close to many offices/metra stations. The bang bang shrimp is definitely the best.”

“Stopped by here for a quick lunch on the way home from a meeting downtown. Ordered the buffalo rolls and they were honestly some of the best ones I've ever had. The chicken inside was tender and delicious, and the blue cheese and buffalo sauce on the side were perfect for dipping. top it off with a nice 20 ounce IPA and I had a great lunch. highly recommend Will definitely come back in the summertime when the patio seating is open.”
