“Visited this place with my sister and we had really high expectations because the food looked so good online. We were exploring the area and trying to figure out what to eat and it was between this place and some other place. Safe to say, we were BOTH so glad we chose to eat at Falcon’s! Not only was the food delicious but the service was very welcoming. I usually never finish my food when I eat out but the food was so good that I am proud to say that I ate every single thing on my plate. I was a little skeptical on the fries because every time I see these style of fries, they’re always so soggy and plain BUT these fries were quite the opposite. They were fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, the experience and food were amazing. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend this if you want a good meal! The only problem I have was that I unfortunately didn’t have any space to try out their milkshakes. Their ice cream is more of a gelato and I love gelato. I definitely need to come back to try out their milkshakes!”
“I don’t really review places but I really liked this place, ordered the Spicy cow burger and mango habanero wings with fried pickles. I loved it, waitress was kind and attentive. Took my family my wife recommended it.”
“The shake was great and burgers too. I had a Veggie burger.”
“Falcon’s is an absolutely gem! Don’t let the unassuming diner atmosphere fool you, the food, service, and vibe here is incredible. The Salmon Sandwich is one of the best I’ve had in Chicago: it’s fresh, it’s real, and it’s insanely tasty! I get it every time I come here. The sourdough is crusty, the salmon fillet is big and well seasoned, the spring mix, pickled red onions, and tomato are fresh, the egg and garlic aioli round everything out to be a fantastic meal. Not to mention the fries are like Hopleaf’s…if you know you know. Support local and eat at Falcon’s. You won’t regret it. Cheers!”
“Had a great lunch at Flacon’s! I read the reviews about the fried chicken sandwich, so I had to try it. It was definitely one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had! Would definitely frequent this place if I was a local. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and check it out!”
“This place has everything and everything is delicious! I'm a particular fan of the pastas like the lemon chicken pasta.”
“Absolutely delicious!! This place is now going to me one of my most frequent spots. Great job!”
“Hands down, this was a delicious find. Definitely coming back. They have a gluten free bun for the burgers... which most are gf. Fries are in a shared fryer, though. I got the Spicy Cow - it was enormous and delicious! There aren't that many "hole in the wall" burger places with gf options. Highly recommend.”
“I finally managed to track down Falcon Hand Crafted Sandwiches in Ravenswood, and it was well worth the effort! While it's slightly hard to find, that almost adds to the charm of discovering a local secret. The vibe inside is fantastic—it has a great vintage look with classic, cozy booths that make you want to linger. Keep in mind that it’s a counter-service setup, but the process was smooth thanks to a very friendly hostess who made me feel welcome the moment I walked in. As for the food, the burger and fries were very good. The patty was seasoned perfectly, and the fries had that ideal crunch you look for. I was honestly so tempted to try one of their milkshakes, but after the burger, I decided those calories were a battle for another day. Definitely a solid spot for a high-quality, handcrafted meal in a cool setting. I’ll be back—maybe next time I'll save room for that shake!”
“I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It has a 1980's diner vibe complete with milk shakes. I ordered the salami sandwich. It was a decent sandwich, very good for Chicago which has low standards for sandwiches in my opinion, but definitely not $17 good. This was the first time i had avocado on a salami sandwich, not sure i will try that combination again. The garlic aioli it comes with was tasty. I would prefer they offer the option to get the sandwich without fries or offer some healtheir alternative to the fries.”
