“I had a great experience at Litehouse Food & Grill. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. I normally get the plant based burrito or tacos along with waffle fries or sweet potato fries. You can tell they take pride in quality and consistency. The customer service was on point—friendly, fast, and welcoming from start to finish. The portions were solid for the price, and everything tasted homemade. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to and recommending to others in Chicago.”
“Everything we had was so good! I absolutely would recommend this place. Even the music was good!”
“Nice place for a good quick meal. We stopped in while visiting the new Obama center. The food was good and so was the service.”
“Pleasant experience. Food good and hot. Ordered a salmon burger and fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were flavorful with a crispy shell. The salmon burger was unlike I've had before. It was a piece of salmon, not a pattie, between a brioche bun, tomato, onions, lettuce and a sauce. I appreciated this version.”
“I order their cranberry chicken salad with salmon and it's a great portion size and sp flavorful. This is definitely now my go to salad place even tho it's a bit expensive for a salad.”
“I never leave reviews EVER, but I ordered an UberEats order on August 20 2025 from Litehouse Whole Food Grill and there was a ROACH IN MY FOOD. The food came sealed in a container in a stapled bag. I transferred the food to a glass bowl so that I could save the rest for the next day. I’ve ordered from them multiple times and I was a loyal customer and actually spoke highly and recommended many. This time, as I was almost done with my bowl, I was looking at my food I saw something that wasn’t a consistent color with the rest of the food. I looked closer and there was a roach in my cooked food. I was so disgusted I literally felt sick. I got my refund from UberEats but I tried to call the restaurant to discuss the matter that night but no answer. I would have went up there but I honestly couldn’t justify going out my way for them, that’s why I always ordered from them on UberEats. So I called a few more times with no answer or voicemail box and today September 3 they finally answered. I asked for a manager or owner, but I spoke with a lead named Joe about the matter and immediately when I told him he did not seem interested nor apologetic. He then proceeded to give excuses insinuating roaches are a normal part of the Chicago restaurant industry, which I’ve never known to be true. He said that there’s an apartment building upstairs and things can come from upstairs like thats a valid explanation. But I’ve been taught to believe that if there’s 1 roach then there’s most likely some sort of infestation so I won’t be returning. If you care about the wellbeing of your customers why put them at that kind of risk and not expand to a standalone building? Anyway, I’m just spreading awareness because I know they are known for their “fresh ingredients” and if I was a customer I would want to know what risk I’m taking eating here.”
“The Salmon was excellent! And the salad was well prepared. They only gave me a tiny tiny bit of salad dressing for such big salad!!! It should have been more. For my first visit to the store.....I enjoyed ☺️.”
“Some of the best/healthiest wraps and food I've ever had, and they had this drink that had a variety of fruits and vegetables in it. This place is quite literally a main reason to go back to Chicago and I would heavily recommend going there and then them even expanding business to kcmo! The salmon/mango-jalapeno wrap was so good I wish I could have another as I write this! Looking forward to coming back again!”
“I always get the jerk chicken bowl add steak and it’s the best , food be hot and fresh , good customer service and the place is every beautiful. They do be busy but it’s worth it”
“I live a ways away from Hyde Park now, but I wanted to see what all the hype was about. This place did NOT disappoint! I ordered the Cajun chicken Alfredo with a piece of Cajun salmon added. It was tender and VERY flavorful! 😋 To top it off, they give you enough for 2 meals! The price is super reasonable as well. I will DEFINITELY be taking the 45 minute drive to visit them again. I hope they open more locations as well!”
