Food was great, drinks were great, vibe was great, service was great, and it got busy as well. Highly recommended as a place to hang out in The Loop 👍

Great location, walking distance from the caddilac theater. I can't say enough about the beet and pear salad a explosion of delicious flavor!

Stopped in for food after a show at the Cadillac Theater. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff, bar tender was on point. Service was excellent and prompt.

I would say, i like this place. Good food, especially good portions, but a bit overpriced especially for appetizers and desserts ($15?!) BUT great summer spot, fantastic outdoor seating though limited. Sits right in shaded area so makes the heat bearable. Server was very sweet. Note it is a peak finance bro and sports destination which might be intimidating.

I rated it 4 stars because the service was rather slow. We were there for Beauty and the Beast and thought we might be late for the show. Belle of the Ball was a speciality cocktail that was quite delicious. I had an app, hummus platter with fresh vegetables. It was pretty tasty and a very generous portion, plenty for a meal.

I went here last night, and overall it was a decent place. The appetizers were delicious, the jalapeño poppers were my favorite! The pizza dip was also really good. The tortilla soup was tasty as well. The Royale with Cheese, however, was just an average burger—nothing special. The vibes were good, our server was nice, and the place was clean overall.

The food was very good. Finally a place that gives you the amount of food you are paying for. Great place inside but during the lunch hour it was a little loud for me but still enjoyed it. The Shirmp Pot boy was excellent. The shrimp were huge.

The service was great. The waiter was very attentive. We asked for a table outside next to the street. The tables have umbrellas to block the sun. I ordered the jambalaya which was decent. You may need to add a little extra salt and pepper, but I ate it up regardless!

Great for larger groups but they do not split checks.

City Social is literally on fire. Post-work in the Loop stopped by for dinner and the vibe was a 10/10. Got a seat right by the TV, ordered their smash burger and a local draft beer and it was all right on the money. Damage was about $35 total which is a steal for how good the food is in this neck of the woods. and service was super fast too. If you want a solid place with great New American eats, do not sleep on this place!
