I ate here a few years ago and a had a delicious, gluten-free dinner, and I was pleased.
However, I came back for brunch a few weeks back and was disappointed. It was semi-crowded (at literally every single table sat a white couple, several with bebbies) and although they HAVE a gluten-free menu, several items on it are NOT gluten-free by preparation, and if my waiter had not told me that, I would have ended up severely ill and hospitalized. So there's that.
This made me kind of nervous. I ordered something really basic, and then another guy (kitchen staff, not my original server) brought out my breakfast with toast right on the plate. EEK. I told him I was really allergic and that he had to actually get me new food, not just take the bread away, because of contamination issues.
The guy ROLLED HIS EYES. dude, i'm sorry, i don't want to be killed by my breakfast. i get it that some restaurants still have a hard time accomodating my diet. but y'all advertise yr GF menu and GF options, so you need to get it into gear to not only know your issues and consistently deliver upon them, but don't ever be rude or dismissive when someone expresses, you know, worry that you might just toss the toast and bring her back contaminated eggies. make sense? -

I hate writing bad reviews, but I must say that I was extremely underwhelmed after finally making time to dine at Feast.
The good: the drink menu was really nice and the bartenders and servers were very kind and helpful.
The bad: I don't know if we just ordered the wrong items, but the food was not great at all. For an appetizer we had the Coconut Curry Chicken Quesadillas - flavorful, but very wet and messy. For entrees we had the Eggs Royale - very runny and fishy and the Eggs Portobello - sent back since the egg was overcooked and the portabello could not be identified. Presentations were lovely but the actual content - not so much.
So one undercooked entree and one overcooked - very similar dishes. They also brought out the appetizer with the entrees. Again, the only positives were the servers and the Adult Smoothies.
This is just my experience and my friend agreed. Many people seem to love this place, but I can't say that I even so much as liked it. Will not be going back. -

Food is excellent. The service may be the worst in the city. I came here 2 years ago and had such terrible service I decided not to return. Gave it another chance today. Still horrendous. If good service is important to your experience....skip it.

I usually really enjoy our brunch outings when we visit Chicago, but I was very disappointed with the food we had at Feast for a recent brunch. My husband and I both ordered the "garbage omlette" and I have to say - it was really not that good. It was huge, but even the sheer size didn't make up for the poor taste. The veggies, instead of being fresh and crisp, were overcooked and limp and did not have a good flavor with the omelette. There was really no bacon to speak of, and the sausage didn't taste good either. Overall it was a huge disappointment, and probably the only omlette I've ever had that I really did not like. The potatoes on the side were not much better, and I only had a few bites before giving up altogether. Apparently this place is pretty "hit or miss" with the food - the french toast that our friends had looked and tasted delicious (although very rich and sweet). It's just too bad that our food was a miss, and I don't think we'll be back with so many better bruch places in the area.
ps - we did the valet parking and they were very slow. We had to wait a long time both to park the car and to get it back after bruch. Another disappointment. -

Feast is OK.
Looks like most people go for brunch, we went for dinner. There was nothing truly bad about it, but the thing is... there was nothing great either.
We tried the salad (boring), butternut squash ravioli (hard), and had some wine. This place also gets loud, annoyingly so. For some reason, it reminds me of a chain, not the best vibe going on.
With all the other great restaurants in the neighborhood, there's no reason anyone should stop in here. I won't again. -

Feast is an essential part of the Wicker Park eating experience. Its great on a hung over Sunday (and by the crowd everyone MUST agree with me), its great on a NOT hungover Sunday, its great for vegetarians and meat-eaters, families and most dates, hanging out at the bar by yourself or even to grab a drink before going to your favorite bar (whether that be flatiron or six corners sports bar).
PLUS!!! They deliver. SO, WHEN I'M REALLY OUT OF IT on Sunday I don't even have to get out of the house to eat Feast. VIOLA! -

Sooooooooooooooo hungover after all them Tues night - Wed morning partying (see prior Chicago reviews lol)
I wish I could appreciate the food more, as I could barely eat.
The crying babies didnt help (all nine of them LMAO).
All kidding aside, I'd love to eat here again. Plus the waiters are (from what it seems) South American, so I appreciated that a lot. -

We came here for brunch last Thursday and it was great not having to fight the weekend brunch crowd. The place was definitely busy, as Im sure other people were off work as well, but we didnt have to wait for a table and our food came out super fast. I had the Chilaquiles and they were just what I needed after a night on the town. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the tortilla chips, spicy sauce, cheese and chorizo were a greasy, cheesy wonderfulness! He ordered the traditional breakfast of two eggs, sausage, bacon and an english muffin. Add on two coffees and two mimosas, and we left two very satisfied full people. Definitely not the best brunch in town, but it hits the spot and is super convenient to my place. Wait times on the weekend can be very long.

Like a reviewer said below, where else can you find a brunch place in Wicker Park on a Sunday morning at 10am and get seated right away? (there are several if you know where to look. Hint: Not the Bongo Room)
It's ridic.
Feast brunch menu is solid. They have an array of omelets, several benedict options, and items like breakfast burrito, pancakes.. Brunch drink menus... I'm not so inclined towards the $8 smoothies.. (wtf) but the food was really good and consistent. Which is all I want in a neighborhood brunch joint.
The dining room has ample space, it's kid friendly and stroller friendly. So you don't bump into other people, hear the conversations from 3 tables away, have servers squeeze between tables and chairs and little kids.
I'm a fan. yay. -

Feast brunch - always fast, always delicious. I've never been disappointed in a breakfast yet, be it an omelet, the grand slam, pancakes, or just their take on oatmeal. I've visited for brunch and had it delivered, and the service is always faster than I expect.
I've been to Feast for dinner, too, and while it's no Feast brunch it's still pretty tasty.
Buy their food. Eat it up. -

This is a Sunday BRUNCH review. It was super busy with the after church rush, but we got a "Bucktown Bloody Hell" (bloody Mary) and hung out in the lounge area in the front. Did not mind the wait sitting on the couches by the fire. Very cozy.
The restaurant was a little noisy, but I think that comes with the Sunday Brunch territory. So yummy:
feast mac n' cheese roasted tomatoes, smoked bacon, green onions, parmesan, cream + toasted breadcrumbs
crab benedict two poached eggs and crab cakes over jalapeno cheddar corn bread with chipotle hollandaise + feast potatoes
Good work, Feast!1 Previous Review: Show all »

The patio is the best thing about this place. The service is disorganized and the food is mediocre at best. I've been here for both brunch and dinner, and had the same experience both times. The servers never know who is supposed to be waiting on us, our drinks take a really long time, and the food always looks better in the menu than it actually tastes.
Sure you can get in right away, but there is a reason for that. Several, actually, and it basically boils down to the fact that there are just so many better places in the 'hood. -

Feast is one of my go-to restaurants simply because its good food, good price, good environment. It beats going to the Cheesecake Factory as your go-to! The ambiance feels somewhat fancy, but its actually really casual. There's frequently families with kiddies there.
Lunch: Black bean burger, Chopped Salad
Appetizers: Mac N Cheese
Dinner: BBQ Salmon is my favorite thing on the menu! Butternut Squash and Short Ribs are good too!
Dessert: I've had their creme brulees and panna cottas. Both satisfies my sweet tooth!
Love their wine selection.
I've never ordered delivery, but my friend has. And she says they come in and set everything up for u on ur dining room table! -

I really loved Feast!
Firstly, you cannot beat a place in Wicker Park where you can go for brunch Saturday morning at 10:30 am and get seated right away, we tried the Bongo room first and the wait was an hour!
I had the Feast Sampler and everything was cooked very well and had good flavor. They were simple items, bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes and an English muffin but it still takes skill to cook all of them well!
Hubby had the Carrot Cake pancakes and I thought they were delicious, he thought they were a tad dry and he also did not like the coffee but since I am not a coffee drinker that did not affect my review. I had the Feast Fantasia smoothie and it was delicious.
Service was very attentive and fast. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be back! -

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. Feast is a great place to have a nice Sunday brunch and their dinner menu is quite nice as well. They have pretty large patio area that is great when the weather is nice out.
Their breakfast/brunch menu has your standard breakfast items plus some unique ones. I usually order their Breakfast Croissant which has scrambled eggs, prosciutto, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, arugula and a side of their feast potatoes. The portions are just right and the ingredients are fresh. I'm also a big fan of their Mac 'n Cheese. I usually order it and split it with a friend. Everytime I order it with a friend, they ask if it's really necessary to order Mac 'n Cheese at brunch. I always tell them to trust me and I know they will end up loving it. As it turns out, they're always the last one scooping any bits and pieces left.
The service is attentive and my glass of water was always filled. I also have to say they have a quick turn-around on food orders. Our food came pretty quickly.
If you're looking for a nice, casual dining experience that isn't too expensive....it's definitely worth a visit. -

Feast has a great menu, a charming atmosphere, and a perfect location. Plus, as so many reviewers pointed out, it's never too crowded! Oh...I wonder why.
Many of their dishes are over-priced and under-delivered. Execution is key, and the only thing I've ever loved here was the tortilla soup which is very good and has a unique flavor compared to many other tortilla soups I've had. Because of that they get 3 stars.
Eggs benedict? meh. Asian chicken salad? meh. Steak salad? meh. Tuna appetizer? meh. I have found many of their dishes to have problems with composition, balance, and flavor. It's OK to eat there, but I always feel a little disappointed. I keep wanting to go back because their menu has so many great looking dishes, but I'm usually unsatisfied.
Also, the staff is not very timely and not very polite. I see many comparisons to bongo room here, and yes, bongo room is crowded as hell, but they handle it efficiently. Every time I've come to feast for lunch, I end up having to flag someone down just to get a cup of coffee because I'd be waiting ten minutes before my waiter even comes by to introduce himself. Overall, I have found service to be slow and servers to be less attentive than at other similar restaurants.
I'm sure I will go to feast again, but, tortilla soup notwithstanding, it's probably only because everywhere else had a line. -

I don't have ANYTHING bad to say about this place at all! If you want brunch, this is a great spot.
The two items that stand out in my mind are the breakfast potatoes (I don't know what they do, but they are about the best potatoes I've ever had!) and the oatmeal pancakes (wow.)
They have good coffee and a pretty decent sized dining room, we never had to wait too long to be seated. -

I ordered one of the specials: beef tenderloin. It came with a potato and corn side dish which I really treated as an afterthought. Shockingly, that side stole the show. The steak was good as well. I also ordered one of their wine flights: I think it was "easy rider." the Pinot in the flight was great so I ordered another glass.

Review from Hoang L.
-coconut curry chicken quesadilla served with mango chutney $9. (Very good but not good for only 2 people because you need to save room for your main entrees).
-braised beef short ribs carrots, pearl onions, red wine sauce, swiss chard + garlic mashed potatoes $20 (the meat was so tender, I swear I didn't even have to chew it, let alone use a knife to cut it)
-sauteed whitefish green beans, grape tomatoes, sweet corn, mushrooms + truffle cream sauce $19 (they had me at "truffle")
Everything we ordered was so good and tasty. Great crowd with optional outdoor seating. -

Had a great brunch here - no wait even though we were warned this was a popular place. Had the crabcake benedict - crab was so-so (very bready), but the dish was creative - instead of english muffins, the crab cake was served over a jalapeno cornbread - a little dry but tasty nonetheless. Hubby had the breakfast burrito - his standard - and was not unhappy. Will go back again to try the lunch or dinner menu.

Review from Meridith E.

Please know the only reason I'm giving this review a 3 is based on service and the incompetency of the hostess who flubbed up our seating. I LOVE their menu, which would be getting a 4. But as many of you may know, service and attentiveness is key in the F&B industry....so, hence my dismay at the final verdict.
I called one morning to see if there were any brunch reservation times available, which is hard to get as they're always busy around brunch. I was told they did and consequently put our name down. Unfortunately, we couldn't be sat until the whole group was there, which is normal. A couple in our group was late...but when they finally showed, I made sure to tell the hostess. The hostess told us we'd still need to wait a few minutes while the table cleared off. Soon, a table cleared and was being cleaned off, but the hostess jumped on the phone. In the time of her conversation, another group of our size walked in and up to the hostess podium. A guy came over to greet them and gave them OUR TABLE!!! And instead of asking the person on the phone to wait and CORRECTING her coworker, the hostess just shrugged at us.
I mean, I've worked in F&B during college, so I feel the right to say...what in THE heck!? After waiting for our group to be "complete," I had to wait to be sat when another group just waltzed in? If you can't multitask while on the phone via physical cues to your coworkers, there's something wrong here.
Now, let's commence this review on what I love about Feast...
Feast is in the perfect place to be accessibly by public transit or by car. The blue line stop (Damen) is just a block south, and you could take the North, Damen or Milwaukee bus, too.
The place is really cute, and they have a great outdoor patio for the Spring/Summer months. The tables don't feel on top of each other like some other restaurants. There is seating at the bar, and you can pull up to watch the game while having drinks and food. The restaurant seating is nice, but I would recommend a reservation if you can get one or else the wait can be long!
My favorite time to go to Feast is for a weekend brunch, because they have a pancake special that is usually creative and big enough to split between a couple people. Their dinner menu is good, and they have a great tortilla soup. I've tried their burger, chicken and salads...can't go wrong with any of them.
Check out their specials....they have 1/2 bottle specials & pre-fixe. -

Apparently Brunch is celebrated like a holiday in Chicago! We headed to Feast around noon on Sunday.
We ordered:
- potato skins scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and scallions with sour cream + pico de gallo
- breakfast croissant scrambled eggs, prosciutto, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, arugula + feast potatoes
- chicken tortilla soup
and a couple of smoothies.
The potato skins with scrambled eggs = MONEY! The breakfast croissant = not so much. Chicken tortilla soup = DELICIOUS! The smoothies = ok.
I think that sums it up! Would I go back? Maybe. -

I always have an awesome meal here.
My favorite for breakfast is the Stuffed Potato Skins.
For dinner is the Suffed Chicken Breast. Wednesday's is the best day to come, 2 courses and bottle of wine for $25. Great deal if you ask me.
Nice outdoor seating shaded by tent. Nice indoor seating with fireplace and TV's at bar.
I'm getting hungry just thinking about this place. -

This is such a cute place!
I was in the neighborhood last night, looking for some place to eat. Feast had a very pretty patio area, so we went in.
The service was attentive and quick.
The bread was delicious.
I had a black bean burger with sweet potatoes fries. The burger was good, the fries were great.
My favorite part was sitting outside. The patio is gorgeous, it was surrounded by pretty plants. -

Went here for lunch and ordered the tuna melt after admiring another patron's meal. I haven't had one in about 10 years and it was goooood. Their menu is extensive, unique, and well-priced. The atmopshere feels trendy but relaxed. I'm interested to know what their Gold Coast location is like.

Per my three star rating, this place is "A-OK." Went this morning right at 11 and had to wait 20 minutes or so to be seated. My dining companion and I happily waited by the bar until our name was called. My crab cake benedict was tasty. The jalapeno cornbread was a nice change. Service was speedy. I had the Bucktown Bloody and I'd skip if I go back. It was fairly generic and didn't have much of a kick. All in all, a solid, tasty brunch was had.

The food here is okay, but the delivery service is awful. Twice now my food has been late, once more than an hour late, and the restaurant has nothing to offer but "oh, sorry about that." Sorry's not good enough. The food is aight, but in 2 hours, I'd expect a little more than a halfhearted apology and a lukewarm meal.
You've fooled me twice Feast. It won't happen again. -

Love this place and just realized they were delivering when I saw them on Grub Hub! Always have got the Goat cheese stuffed Chicken Breast, it's very good! Only complaint would be to use better containers for delivery items...I've received delivery from there twice now with a paper bag with the bottom about to fall out since the wine sauce leaks out of the containers used. Otherwise, I highly recommend and will definately be back!

Your experience at Feast is like going on a hot date with someone that has the personality of a paint can. You get excited for it at first, I mean it's a hot date, your friends are impressed, but afterwards you cant help but feel like you were shafted. Feast has the right location, and the layout and the vibe inside are happening, but that's where it stops. The drinks are below average. Blood Mary's for Brunch are bland and made with cheap vodka. Cocktails come out like your little brother just made them. Worst of all, and this is the truth people, the food is at level with a meal at a hospital cafeteria. This place is a new chef and manager away from being awesome. But they are just riding the location and their popularity. There are literally thousands of places for a better meal. If I want to hang out somewhere cool and not worry about the food, I go to a bar...Feast just does not deliver on the quality of it's food, like a hot date with zero personality. No second date for you!

Went here for a 9 AM brunch on Saturday. There were a total of four tables filled when we walked in.
So why did it take us 2 hours for breakfast? Oh I know. The slowest service in the world was given to us. That's why.
A word of advice to the restaurant: When serving five adults coffee--especially for breakfast--please note that cream & sugar should be apart of the service. Flagging down a server for 10 minutes while trying to get said cream & sugar isn't.
Everyone at our table left with sourfaces on. Also I'd like my $16.58 back.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Last night, me and 4 friends (and husband) were looking for food. Absolutely ravenous. Most restaurants had a 1.5-2 hour wait, and WE NEEDED SUSTENANCE.
ENTER FEAST.
Feast has tasty, New American type food. It's exceptionally tasty at (almost) 9pm, when you're starving and have been searching for dinner for almost an hour.
We got mac and cheese (sans bacon) and calamari to start. This mac and cheese was SOOOOO good. It was seasoned well and super cheesy. Definitely one of the better mac and cheeses in Chicago. The calamari was tasty too - fried with a red dippin' sauce.
I ordered butternut squash ravioli for my main course, and it had a balsamic sauce with walnuts, crisp sage leaves and small pieces of potatoes. This dish was awesome because it wasn't TOO sweet. The balsamic cut the sweetness and it was absolutely delicious. MMMMM. Top that off with a glass of wine, and that was dinner.Listed in: W-w-w-w-icker Park and Company, Hibernation, New American Tasties, Thuper Romantical Spots, Mac and Cheese? Yes please!

Feast is the best.
Great, great food and hardly ever a wait more than 10 minutes, which is a rarity for top tier bruch joints in Chicago. They also have a ton of smoothies, if that's your thing (and yes, they make them "adult" style).
I'm a big fan of the "garbage omelette", the breakfast burrito and the different benedicts they have.
This place is an absolute can't miss. -

Blueberry Peach French Toast. Excellent. All of this time that I've lived in Chicago, I had never been to Feast, and I was missing out. The quality of the food is excellent. I loved the combination of blueberries and peach - the fruit was so fresh and delicious! The size of the restaurant is pretty sizeable, which is good. I've heard about long waits, but I arrived at the tail end of the brunch session - around 2pm on a Saturday morning, and walked right in with now problem.
Feast is officially being added to my brunch list. -

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day. On vacation I require it daily.
On a Sunday morning before going out into Chicago for some adventures we stopped by Feast. It was a nice day so the outside seating was PACKED. Good thing I like to eat inside because there was no wait! Our server was friendly and on top of things. This is NOT always the case with Sunday brunch so I was pleasantly surprised.
The food was so good. I had a chorizo omelette. It was greasy and cheesy and AMAZING. The Boy had steak and eggs which was equally delicious.
If we lived in the area we would def. be regulars -

Their brunch is great. Good coffee, great omelets, french toast, bacon, all that jazz. It's a little bit expensive for brunch, but it's also a little bit better than most places. Also a great jack of all trades, master of none restaurant. It's a wide menu that would appeal to almost anybody, but won't take your breath away.
What really sells this place for me is their patio during the summer. It's awesome people watching, relaxing on Milwaukee avenue by six corners. I rarely care about decor, but it's warm and inviting. Fun place to hang out on Saturday/Sunday morning or afternoon during the summer. -

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Feast yet after having dined there coutless times.
Feast is a great spot - brunch, lunch and dinner are all delicious.
Some highlights:
- Half priced wine on Monday and Tuesdays
- $25 multi-course dinner with a glass of wine
- Open for brunch, lunch and dinner (and is open later for drinks)
- The outdoor area is a great spot with a nice mix of tables that aren't too close together, but are nicely spaced for a good vibe.
- The food is delicious - I especially like the proscuitto pizza (I think it's an appetizer, but it's great for a light dinner).
The food here is always consistently good. I've been happy with all of my meals at this spot. Having never had a bland or unfortunate dish, I have to go with a 5 for food.
Service has also always been consistently good. From the bar to the restaurant, everyone is friendly and accommodating. Service for me has always been great - never rushed, never super slow, a good mix. Also, the servers are willing to ask about tweaking menu items - which is always great. Service for me is a 5.
The bathrooms are ok, nothing spectacular, but definitely clean and a nice space - a 4.
The atmosphere is good. I will say that the outdoor area and bar area for me is better at night as the indoor space has a very casual vibe. However, the decor is nice and comfortable. They could turn up the air a bit in the summer.... A solid 4.
As to value, aside from the deals mentioned above, the menu items (food and drinks) are reasonably priced and I feel value is quite good. A 5 for value.
4.6 - rounds to a 5.
I'll definitely be back - a great summer (and every time) spot. -

Ducked into Feast this weekend with my wife and sister. We got a reservation on about 2 hours notice for 7pm and were promptly seated. Wait staff was attentive and the interior table layout left enough space to be comfortable - always a plus for me. Had a 3 legged mule (ok, 3) - goose island ginger beer, jameson and lime. If you like ginger ale and it's hot out, I highly recommend.
The table bread was standard and came with some type of chili seasoned butter that wasn't our style, but I could see others enjoying. For an app we had the black mussels that were just average and had a strong musky odor that was a little off-putting. The entrees on the other hand were excellent. I had the pappardelle that was very flavorful and came in a heavy portion. I started cherry picking the lamb out halfway through the dish and still couldn't polish it all off before my stomach shut the gate. My wife had the butternut squash ravioli that had a wonderful flavor and my sister enjoyed the maple glazed pork chop, both of which I also found to be excellent.
Pricing on all items was reasonable and it's location across from Northside, next to Cans and around the corner from iCream makes it a perfect spot to start a night out in wicker park.
Overall, I'd go back to Feast without hesitation.
