When we have a craving for Southern cooking (and Cajun-Creole), Wishbone is the place to go. Mind you, it's also one of Chicago's best values. We like the chicken etouffee, the jambalaya with shrimp, the pan-fried chicken, the Louisiana… Read Full Editorial

Good Food! by SmithJames via Citysearch on 2/24/2012

I visited Wishbone Restaurant last week. It was a good day for me. It was lunch break and I decided to go and eat there. The food were good and their service was good too. I'll be back to eat there again.

WAITRESS LOST MY DEBIT CARD by Tara511 via Citysearch on 3/15/2011

The waitress LOST MY DEBIT card after she charged it and brought me a receipt to sign and no card. Said someone hit her arm and maybe it flew out...really?? They said, "sorry, we'll call you if we find it." Um, it's not an umbrella, it's…

Wanted to visit by CSMobileUser4 via Citysearch on 9/30/2010

I'm not after reading reviews

Nice by Joe M via Insider Pages on 1/13/2010

I think Wishbone is a bit overrated. The food is fine. The breakfast in particular was really good and it was tasty.

The worst! by ReggietheMiracle via Citysearch on 8/28/2008

Wishbone is awful. We always have problems when we come here. The menu is bland and mediocre across the board. The dishes usually come cold and our orders are always mixed up or missing something. I'm writing this after just opening…

Nice, but.... by TrishInChicago via Citysearch on 7/24/2008

Every time I leave this nice restaurant, I'm disapointed. Today it was for breakfast and I found the 2 egg white omlette with spinach and chesse to be extermely dry and tasteless. The potatoes which came with the dish were also dry, dry,…

not bad by linda B via Insider Pages on 4/12/2008

I think Wishbone is slightly overrated. The food is fine but not fantastic. I was told that the breakfast in particular was really good and it was tasty but not that special. The lunch/dinner options fall into the same category for me,…

Love it! by Elizabeth R via Insider Pages on 4/12/2008

I live right around the corner from this place and absolutely love it. Be sure to go for brunch--I always get the corn cakes which are a delicious combo of sweet and salty. Pulled pork is excellent, the portions are generous and you get 2…

GRITS by jim d via Insider Pages on 3/23/2008

If you have a taste for the not so common grits in the city,go to wishbone and have the shrimp and cheese grits, and the rest of the menue is just as good,crabe cakes.

Great place to bring the kids by Drew G via Insider Pages on 11/13/2007

I brought my neice and nephew here and they really liked it.\r \r We went for the Sunday brunch, which was really crowded, but once you try the food, you'll know why. Its reasonably priced and fills you right up with southern style dishes.

Eat your heart out, San Francisco! by carieb via Citysearch on 11/11/2007

We"ve loved this place (on Washington) since it first opened.... breakfast, lunch and dinner are all great. I can't even begin to pick out a favorite dish, but the veggie burgers are so good I eat them even though I'm not a vegetarian; I…

Keeping it Real(ly Touch-and-Go) by annie via Menuism on 8/24/2007

Tips: 1. The really interesting corn-and-onion bread they bring to your table is great to stupidly fill up...

I LOVE the food here. Always bring out-of-towners here to eat some comfort food. Yummy and reminds me of home by kcharbs47 via Citysearch on 3/12/2007

I have never had a bad experience here (or the location on Lincoln). The black bean cakes, shrimp & grits, crunchy french toast...it's all wonderful. The martini's are yummy too (can't find them on the online menu but I'm pretty sure we…

Overrated by mr_hosokawa via Citysearch on 10/27/2006

"southern-style" maybe if they're trying to copy a pretty ordinary restaurant serving bland food in the south. no major complaints about the place, the food just really isn't very good. would not go back, too many places in the city worth…

Fantastic Brunch Spot by achawley716 via Citysearch on 9/24/2006

I was looking for a place to take my friend for breakfast when he came up from U of Illinois. Since he was downtown, I couldn't take him to the lucky platter in evanston, which is also a very nice breakfast spot. So, through a RAINSTORM,…

gotta love the soul food by tulips500 via Menuism on 9/4/2006

i've been to wishbone a few times for brunch, and i have yet to be disappointed. the portions are enormous,...

Great Breakfast by Brad F. via Judy's Book on 6/10/2006

I had a great breakfast - I disagree with EMS's review. It was a beautiful sunny Chicago early summer day (June). We sat outside. The service was fine - the food came quickly and was delicious. I had a white spinach omlette with cheese…

Wishbone by EMS S. via Judy's Book on 3/16/2006

I went to this west loop restaurant for breakfast several time. Nothing is special in this place, i don't know why it was always busy. They used to have a good bread, but not anymore, their food has decreased in quality in my opinion. …

Great Cajun food by lisa g. via Judy's Book on 10/7/2005

Wishbone is a great brunch spot, though waits are common and parking is often hard to come by. Lunch is also good - you'll find a good variety of sandwiches and entrees, often with a Cajun or down-home cooking twist. It's comfort food at…

Outstanding food for a low price by Chetan P. via Judy's Book on 8/15/2005

The menu here is a mix of southern/Cajun style food. Lots of great side dishes – in fact I recommend stringing a few of them together to make a meal. Their brunch is definitely the highlight, though the crowd during the weekend can put one…
