The Dearborn — one of Loop's strongest american spots. Order the Fish And Chips. Polished but not pretentious, and open late. Gerd Mattheiss: "Food quality is very solid – the fish and chips were crispy and flavorful"

“Came here once before and had the ceviche and fish & chips and decided to come back again.”
Came here once before and had the ceviche and fish & chips and decided to come back again. Had the sticky pork ribs and fried chicken. Both were sensational! Very tasty, very well cooked, very well seasoned. The bar has lots of cocktail, wine, and beer options with a great atmosphere that isn’t so noisy you can’t hear the person next to you. You won’t be disappointed if you come here.

“Truly a phenomenal establishment.”
Truly a phenomenal establishment! Every facet of our meal, the atmosphere, service and music at brunch. The fish and chips were outstanding as advertised, French 75 was 🤌 and our children loved the root beer. A perfect stop before the theater with family or on a date.

“I met a friend after work at The Dearborn in Downtown Chicago.”
I met a friend after work at The Dearborn in Downtown Chicago. We both enjoyed our meal. She had the fish and chips and I had a cheeseburger. Both were great. I also loved my mocktail but I can’t remember the name. Thankfully I got a reservation because there were a lot of people dining after work. There may have been broadway play happening across the street too. But even with the crowd, my friend and I could hear our conversation which was great because we had plenty to catch up on!

“I really enjoyed my visit to this place and left feeling more than satisfied.”
I really enjoyed my visit to this place and left feeling more than satisfied. The burger I ordered was incredibly juicy and cooked just right, full of rich flavor in every bite. The cocktails were equally impressive and felt carefully crafted rather than ordinary. The overall experience was enjoyable and definitely worth five stars, and I would gladly come back again.

“Very nice place for brunch on a Saturday.”
Very nice place for brunch on a Saturday. We both had the fish and chips which was excellent. My wife being from England is very particular on her fish and chips and she said this was the best she’s had in a very long time..

“Perfect spot to go to if your going to a late night show at the theaters.”
Perfect spot to go to if your going to a late night show at the theaters. Our waitress was super nice and check in with us from time to time. The food is amazing. We love the Amish curry chicken, just the right amount of spice.

“Lovely spot, very friendly staff, I had a delicious shakshuka.”
Lovely spot, very friendly staff, I had a delicious shakshuka. They seem to generally need reservations but we did just walk in for breakfast and got seated, for dinner there was a walk in wait for 90 minutes. I’d say give them a call if you’re thinking to walk in. We had to park at a garage a bit up the road, there was no street parking as it’s downtown.

“Unbelievably good food and service.”
Unbelievably good food and service. The place was busy but we were seated and served quickly. The vaulted ceilings, interior decor, and well dressed staff added nice touches. The bartender was a craftsman and knew his stuff. Will definitely be going back next time I’m in town

“The Dearborn is lovely.”
The Dearborn is lovely! We stopped in and their fish and chips ended up being one of the best meals I’ve had in Chicago. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was great, and it just felt like an easy, enjoyable night out. I would love to be back.
