Anita MettilleOctober 1, 2016Living a block away from Wishbone is awesome. When out of town guests visit, dining at Wishbone is a must. Eating my way through the menu. EVERYTHING is delicious. Today the shrimp and grits rocked!
I am a repeat offender: Iced Latte and the Black Bean Cakes with Mango Salsa, plus a side of Sautéed Spinach! Must also have a corn muffin! Wish I could go here every weekend.
Paige KaliskiOctober 23, 2016I love how vegan and gluten free friendly this place is! great corn muffins, grits, black beans and biscuits
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 10, 2012Family-friendly Wishbone is allergy-friendly, too. All food is cooked from scratch, so the kitchen can easily make substitutions, like omitting dairy or nuts. Read more
Kieran KlaassenAugust 5, 2018Love the open atmosphere and solid and simple southern style food. They have live music some days- Anita MettilleAugust 21, 2016Breakfast is always busy. Wonder if it's because the cheese grits taste as great as if you're in the south. Never disappointed with the food.
kate readerOctober 17, 2014Shrimp & grits is some of the best I've had since leaving my home in the South!
Kathryn JanicekAugust 10, 2014Must have the sweet chili bacon. It's the special today --- and it's amazing.
'Juanette Appleton - IvyAugust 4, 2013Great place to meet up with friends and have a good meal. Excellent customer service too.

Deron PowellFebruary 20, 2013It ain't like home, but it's Damn close. Never been disappointed. Love the shrimp and grits.
Michael LorenzenApril 9, 2011Amazing HEALTHY menu. Definitely save room for the brownie pie for dessert. Super cheap, too.- Time Out Chicago KidsJuly 2, 2012Wishbone is nominated for Best Family-Friendly Restaurant in our Hipsqueak Awards, vote now at
RoadretroDecember 27, 2011Get your Cajun on here. Great food, a bit pricey but a nice change for a spicy breakfast.
Rochelle MorganDecember 2, 2013Bellini was tasty but the peach pulp didn't mix well and I had a really thick mess when I got to the bottom of the glass.
Jenn S.September 8, 2012So many screaming/crying children. Sit outside if you can. Or just don't come on a weekend.- Kris DonakerJune 6, 2010My new fave brunch place! Love the food and bloody mary's are delish. Great atmosphere too.
Bobby KennedyJanuary 26, 2016They've split ties with the west loop branch and have really gone downhill. Completely empty at 8pm Sat, stale draft beers, and very mediocre entrees. Maybe brunch is their A game?
jane wandlessFebruary 25, 2010the fresh spinach omelette is very good, pancakes are yummy & just an overall great atmosphere!
Eric RainsMarch 29, 2011As a southern boy, I can't order anything but the Shrimp and Grits. Amazing.
- Jason MousseauFebruary 28, 2010Shrimp and grits worth going back...we will be back and both having them next time.
Lauren B.🐊🌻April 9, 2010Must get the breakfast burrito with home fries and fresh squeezed OJ! amazing!
Valerie PollockMay 7, 2012The fried green tomatoes could use more flavor. They'd be better with chèvre
hav0c1December 31, 2010Guy runs a great business. Wide selection of food choices @ an affordable price!
Patricia De LeonJuly 3, 2012If you are hungry you are at the wrong place ...we got our food after 30 min
Shrimp and grits, with or wihout bacon. Warm, rich, satisfying.
Sarah McleodApril 22, 2013Really disappointed. Lacked flavor and some of the items we ordered were out and they didn't tell us until just before our food came
