Some noted
The place looks like an inviting atmosphere but the staff is not. When you come in most of the staff sizes you up.
Really disappointing “2.0” grilled cheese with barely any cheese!!
Breakfast menu was lacking- creativity and variety so we opted for lunch.

“Little Toasted is one of those spots that just works no matter what kind of day you’re having.”
Little Toasted is one of those spots that just works no matter what kind of day you’re having. You can bring your laptop and knock out some work, host a casual meeting, or simply kick back and relax. The space is unique, very inviting, and surprisingly spacious — an easy place to settle in without feeling rushed. Drinks are solid, and Johnny behind the bar is a big part of the experience. He’s quick, personable, and genuinely knowledgeable, always open to conversation and happy to guide you on what’s pouring that day or what might fit your mood. Whether you’re working, meeting, or unwinding, this place adapts to you. I’d absolutely take advantage of the space in any of those scenarios — it truly fits whatever kind of day you’re having.

“Traveling in Chicago didn’t really know where to grab lunch.”
Traveling in Chicago didn’t really know where to grab lunch. Little Toasted caught my eye. I’m so glad we stopped! Had the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, it was full of flavor! Highly recommended!

“Great spot to land near the stations.”
Great spot to land near the stations. Extensive whiskey list at decent pricing for city #s! Also grabbed an old fashioned which wasn’t as strong as I was hoping but flavor balance was fantastic.

“Great spot near the Amtrak station.”
Great spot near the Amtrak station. Had a passion fruit daiquiri and a blackened chicken sandwich that was deliciously spicy. Sat in a nice chair near the window to get some sun and read a bit before my train ride. There was a Climate Action museum across the way that I didn't have time to visit but would like to another time. Friendly service and great food

“Can’t complain at all.”
Can’t complain at all! Needed a quick bite before I hopped on my Amtrak, and the turkey wrap and fries were surprisingly filling! Tasted very good too. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Also was feeling a little fancy and tried the “smoke show” cocktail (which is normally not anything I’d ever order) and was pleasantly surprised at the unique flavor (it delivers what it promises). And the food came out VERY fast! It’s been hours now, I’m still on the train, and I’m still not hungry! So if you need something quick and sustainable, I’d say consider this one! For being a place we chose randomly, I’d say we struck it rich!

Great food and drinks just kitty corner from union station we got the steak sandwich and the buffalo sandwich both were amazing and definitely worth the price the drinks were great as well

“I had a cup of the chipotle chicken soup & Cobb salad (w/o red onion) & my husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich.”
I had a cup of the chipotle chicken soup & Cobb salad (w/o red onion) & my husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich. My food was great. There wasn't much there to mess up. The only thing I would say is that they still dress your salad for you. If you don't like that, make sure to ask for your dressing on the side. My husband's sandwich looked like it had a lot of breading on the chicken, but it really wasn't that much -- the cut he had was that large. He liked it and the fries were fresh & hot. We sat at the bar & had friendly service.

Even though I wasn't dress for the occasion. I was treated with respect and offered a 5+ star service. The food and the drinks were great. Definitely recommend this location. They allowed me to charge my laptop and also use the Wi-Fi.
