The Leavitt Street Inn & Tavern

"I L O V E this place! The burgers 🍔 fries 🍟 and Wedge Salad 🥗. All excellent! The vibe in here is a neighborhood pub where the staff are very welcoming. Very busy, but worth the wait for a table and food. I had an Old Fashioned, too. I loved the ice ball. We're coming here EVERY time we visit Chicago. Also, very accommodating with Gluten and Corn allergies!"

"We were in Chicago for a family members cancer surgery, and were looking for something quick before heading south during a snow storm. Burgers sounded good, and Leavitt Street Inn got a lot of great reviews for smash burgers. The place was a cozy tavern with the old school charm of the beautiful building. Our server was a younger woman who was awesome! The food was fantastic! Best smash burger I have ever had! The fries were so good too, and gluten and corn free! We will definitely visit again! They did a great job accommodating my gluten allergy as well!"

"Leavitt St. is pretty hyped but didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I love a good smash burger and the one I was served was good but not great. Burger was a bit overcooked, smashed too thin for my liking (is that possible?) and subsequently the beef didn’t have much flavor. Sauce was good but there was so much of it, it drowned out any other flavors going on including the grilled onion. Fries were surprisingly excellent! Hot and super crispy! I also ordered the Homemade Ricotta and really enjoyed it! Great flavors and the bread was perfectly toasted. Friendly service but there are a few better burgers in the area."

"Went for the smash burger, I would rate it a 7, the meat was fragrant, the cheese was very good, thin sliced homemade pickles, however the sauce was not my favorite and overall there was too much acidity for my liking. The fries were really good and crispy. Also ordered mac n cheese bites, which I really enjoyed, very creamy and great jalapeño flavor. The location has a nice vibe, staff is friendly, I would definitely return."
