Editorial Review for Wishbone – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Spacious and airy, this Roscoe Village hangout is a favorite for Southern-style brunch. Piquant red eggs on corn tortillas with black beans, cheese, chili-ancho sauce, sour cream and salsa is a menu standout. Other favorites include cheese grits, Hoppin' John, chicken-apple-maple sausage and fat breakfast burritos rolled in a whole-wheat tortilla. Dinner offers three shrimp starters--shrimp fricassee, shrimp and grits and Cajun shrimp--plus meat loaf bathed in a chunky red sauce.

I just moved to Chicago a month ago, and I've been to Wishbone three times -- each visit has been terrific. The Savannah shrimp omelette is a hangover cure on a plate...genius. The perfect brunch spot, though it gets crazy crowded: proof, however, that it's a deservedly hot spot.
Pros: Food, decor, service
Cons: Gets very crowded during weekend brunch

Wishbone is a wonderful southern style restaurant with a funky flair. The restaurant is large, decorated with eclectic decor, and while it gets crowded sometimes, the "adult" (formally the smoking) section, is more quiet and private. As a vegetarian, there's quite a wide variety of things to eat. I love the 'Hoppin' John' dish- black eyed peas, rice, mixed veggies, topped with chedder cheese. Yummmy! They also have many veggie side dishes, and the best mashed potatoes ever! Also, you get a lot of food for your money here, the portions are huge! The service is friendly and catering to the patrons. They also have a great bar. I love going in for hearty soul food, and unwinding with a cocktail. I wish the veggie dishes were slightly more spicy, but other than that, Wishbone rocks! I also adore their trademark snearing poodle too, she so cute!
Pros: Wide variety of food, Great value, Delicious fresh food
Cons: parking sometimes bad
