Impeccable service and a creative menu. The knife and fork fried chicken with grits was amazing. Despite tornado sirens blaring and the rain coming down in sheets - the hostess to the wait staff made it a memorable evening. Smith's is a destination whenever we are in Chicago.

Have you ever been to a restaurant that exceeds the expectations of mere brunch and is elevated into an experience? Well, that’s this was - an experience in restaurant authenticity and pride. From the moment we were greeted coming into the door through enjoying the last morsel of food, this was a great place to eat. The food was scrumptious. The drinks were delicious. And, the staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and beyond that - kind. Came for brunch and will definitely be back again!

Hands down the best brunch! Benedict Johnny had amazing flavor and includes a brunch cocktail! The bloody Mary was also great, very unique flavor that I enjoyed. Outdoor seating was great, comfortable. Good service, as well.

Excellent!! Great food, cold beer, excellent martini, good service and an amazing atmosphere! The street side seats are very nice and fresh at night. The wait can be long, but that is expected with places that attract so many people

Fresh oysters, premium salads and sandwiches at The Smith. Tried a pair each of their three variety oysters and I gotta say they were fantastic. Each has its own unique flavor. Salads are gigantic enough to share and can add almost any protein you see fit. Food preparation for soup and sandwich
was a bit lengthy, but everything still came out well seasoned and cooked. Weather cooperated and there was a lot of foot traffic outside during our meal. Would've have had time for a dessert had we not waited fifteen minutes on appetizers.

Had brunch here and it was great. Ordered the smith burger, lots of flavor and they come with the perfect fries. The mac and cheese is a MUST. I would recommend getting it as a side to share, plenty to go around. The service was great, kind and attentive. The space is a cool with all the black and white patterns and historic feeling. Worth it to go downstairs and check the bathrooms!

Amazing place! The food was so good! I have to warn you it is a bit pricy, but it is definitely worth it. There was also really great service. Our waitress was kind and attentive. The staff who brought our food out also did and amazing job. I would definitely recommend going here! The picture attached is a picture of the food I ordered (medium rare bar steak with fries). It is half eaten because it was so good and I forgot to take a picture of the full meal!

Fantastic selection of drinks and cocktails, and amazing food. They have a few locations, but I visited north of the river twice in one week!

The Smith burger is one of the best burgers I've tried! I also highly recommend going for the ribeye, which was elevated to a great dish! The Wild Horses cocktail is a great option (the mezcal, pomegranate, and hibiscus paired very well)!

Online orders are possible, but I strongly recommend a visit!!

Came at open for brunch on a Sunday. Ambience is great, especially when it’s quieter. They got very busy towards the latter half of our visit. I ordered a the french toast, which had maple butter and caramelized bananas. It was delicious! The other person I was with got the Benedict Johnny, which they also enjoyed. Cocktails were included with these dishes so it was a pretty decent deal as well. I would definitely come back.

Loved the Smith! Had the Oysters and homemade chips and fondue, which had us dying for more. Of course we tried the ribeye & the shrimp and grits for our entrees. We absolutely loved it, the steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well!!! The shrimp and grits were dripping with flavor, literally! Definitely will be back to try other selections.
