Elephant & Castle — honest food in Loop. Buzzy, energetic room where the crowd adds to it. There's real intention behind the cocktail list, and no long waits. "Their pot pies are truly the best in Chicago—comforting, flavorful, and perfectly cooked" — Shree Yerramsetti

“The fish and chips won me here.”
The fish and chips won me here! Crispy and you actually get fish instead of heavy breading. The fries were great too. I normally don't eat tartar sauce but this one was good.

“Stopped here after the Bears/Rams game for a bite.”
Stopped here after the Bears/Rams game for a bite. I was seated fast by a friendly host. The place has a cool ambience and was perfect for watching the snow come down as I was seated at a window. I had the hummus and the fish and chips. Both were so so good!!! Tartar was perfect as was the fish and slaw. Will definitely eat here again when I come back!

This was a great mid afternoon stop for me and my family… My daughter‘s absolutely loved the chicken pot pie. It looked fresh and homemade… Something you’d have at your grandma‘s house… I had the butter chicken… My wife had the fish and chips… Each were very tasty and plentiful… A great great stop lots of flavor… The staff was warm and friendly, and the setting is just awesome…

“Arianna the bartender is very personable.”
Arianna the bartender is very personable. I was in at lunch. Didn't eat this time, but have before (shepherd pie YUMMM!) She had a big party plus people at the bar and it didn't phase her at all. Hosts were nice too! I'm in this biz and I would hire them all!

“I had a great experience at Elephant & Castle.”
I had a great experience at Elephant & Castle. The service was very quick and efficient, and our waiter was exceptional — he recommended everything we ordered, and each pick was spot-on. I started with the Bees and Knees cocktail, which was delicious. We shared the Brussels sprouts appetizer (without prosciutto), and it was a definite hit. I also enjoyed the salad that came with the Baja fish tacos. I’m not usually a fan of soft-shell tacos, but I appreciated that they toasted the shells — it made all the difference. The Bears game was on (and we won!), which added to the lively, upbeat vibe in the restaurant. For dessert, I tried the bread pudding. The flavor was nice, but it was a bit too thick for my taste. I cut it in half and asked for extra sauce, which helped. Overall, great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’d definitely come back!

“Fish and chips were great.”
Fish and chips were great. Portion was a little small on the fish. But they give option for 2nd filet. Beer selection was good and nicely chilled. Had a Boddingtons which I haven’t been able to get in a while. Bartender was fantastic keeping my water filled.

simply superb experience with a wide variety of dishes, and it all seemed very healthy as well. peak American/british food, and while you can sit outside, I would not recommend it because it's right next to the screeching trains and it'll be impossible to hear each other. indoor area is very spacious, typical dish here is about $20
