Awesome place for a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Love everything about it. Food is very tasty, friendly staff, kitchen works their butts off to cook as fast as possible.

Great little place with delicious food and huge portions. Lovely outdoor seating patio in the back. Great vegetarian and vegan options. Absolutely delicious!

Had dinner in the backyard when visiting Chicago. Scenic place. The food came in large portions and we found the amount of cheese too overwhelming in the otherwise fine dishes. Pity! But the veggies - especially in our side dishes (green beans in soy sauce and garlicy sauteed spinach) were fantastic! We did not have any beers/alcoholic drinks (they do have a wide selection) but stuck to water and good lemonade because of the heat.

I ordered the Handlebar Omelet. The smoked gouda was good, but the pears were not...I ate around them. The breakfast potatoes were very, very dry and bland - no seasoning, no onions, nothing. Disappointing. My friend had the Everything Green salad, which she said was pretty good. Not worth a return visit.

My partner and I spent a week in Chicago the early part of May. An Uber driver told us about this place. Raved about the vegan comfort food. We like to try new things so we went for dinner.
Its a bar with plenty of seating. We went for dinner so it was very dark. Our server took our drink order and dinner orders. I ordered a water and my partner a beer. Our appetizer and my water arrived (not by our server) and we started chowing down. The Fried Pickle was amazing! The best I Ever had!
We waited for her beer and I started to look around for our server. He walked up, looked at me and then looked at her and said "Oh you didn't get your beer."
He walked back to the bar and 3-5 minutes later came back with her beer. "Yeah, sorry I made it and forgot about. It was hot so I made you a fresh one." His tone showed how little he cared.
By this time our food arrived. I had the Fried Avocados Tacos. My mouth is watering thinking about it. So yummy and affordable. My Partner had the catfish and she loved it.
When I return to Chicago I will eat from The Handlebar but only as take out or delivery. I will not eat at the restaurant again.
I give it a 3 for the food alone.
