Best Modern Southern American Restaurants in Portage Park

My client and her guests enjoyed their lunch at your place. Thank you

Came to this venue on a Friday evening. For Happy Hour we did the Bacon Popcorn, Wings (2), and Fries Pickles/Okra. We were appetizers while we sipped our cocktails. For drinks, I had a spicy Margarita and my husband had the old fashion. We enjoyed our cocktail service. Happy Hour is 5 of 5 stars. For dinner, we sat upstairs and it was quieter to our delight. The downstairs is vibrant and lively which is great but on this occasion wanted a different vibe. The second floor boosted a view of the street and then also a nice view of private dining room area. For food we got the biscuits, fried chicken and bbq platter. The biscuits were so darn good. Would order again and again. The fried chicken was good, nothing special about the mash potatoes. The bbq platter was good also, enjoyed all the meats. Food was 4 out of 5 stars. Overall we enjoyed our dinner experience. We had a lovely conversation with the manger, Emily that evening. We learned a lot about this establishment and also about their other locations. Emily was good about educating us on the offerings at this restaurant. Look forward to coming back for brunch. Overall, a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would say that pricing on some entrees were high. We didn't leave full but we were satisfied.

Me & my wife visited Blue Door on her birthday, and decided to come back on the V-Day. This place is amazing: the quality of food, overall atmosphere and hospitality - it feels like every details there is made to make you feel like home. We ordered a couple of drinks (Smoked Cherry was a top notch), appetisers and mains (Lamb, salmon) - everything was cooked to perfection. Special thanks to our waitress for outstanding service (If you are reading this - you did a great job!), the cooks & to John for complimentary champagne and being so nice :) You, guys, do an amazing job. We will for sure be back! Overall: 5/5

Great food and even better service. Can't wait to go back to try all the stuff I didn't get a chance to try...
