Overall very, very good. Food was well-prepared and flavorful. The corned beef was tender and very tasty. The Spicy-sesame fries were flavorful but could used a bit more sauce (maybe on the side?). However, overall the portions are plentiful. Service took awhile (I think they were shorthanded). Although it is abit pricey, the portions and flavor provided a good value. I'll be back!

I ordered a Reuben for lunch. The sandwich was excellent. As you can see in the picture, the corned beef was very thick cut, which is unusual. However, it was still flavorful and tasty. I could have used more sauce and sauerkraut, but overall, it was delicious and filling. I guess the good thing about not having too much sauce is the bread doesn’t get soggy.

This place is pretty darn legit! The sandwiches were delicious and more than filling. My coworker and I could both only eat half of our sandwiches! I had the turkey sandwich but swapped the pretzel roll for sourdough. One thing to note: the sourdough bread was toasted and was really hard/crunchy. Not bad but it was a little difficult to eat! I also got the truffle fries which were really good but the portion was hugeeeee definitely enough to share. Would've loved a smaller singles portion, if you will. I ended up throwing about half out (because LBH leftover fries just ain't it). Also next time I'd order the truffle sauce on the side. Overall a solid lunch spot for a yummy sando and quick service.

Truffle BLT was outstanding! One of the best sandwiches I have had. It really hit the spot. The quality and quantity is probably the best bang for your buck in Chicago. And to all the foodies out there. Arugula, tomato, avocado, tons of bacon, and truffle aoli! They serve this in heaven.

I came here on a random Monday during lunch with my bestie who was in town. We both were taking a chance coming for lunch but what the hey!... am I right? We both ordered the Turkey sandwich, a side of tomato bisque, spicy sesame fries, two ginger lemonades and a cookie. The food: - Turkey sandwiches ... whoa! That's all. They're massive as heck. Like talk about bang for your buck. For $10.75, you're like ehhh if the sandwich is tiny, you put up with it because it's downtown Chicago. TFS definitely put me in my place with this sandwich. It was tasty, filling and huge. Even with the removal of the avocado the sandwich was able to hold its own and believe it or not, that matters. - Tomato bisque: fire. The crotons was the tip over the edge. Also without anything, this thick and creamy soup hits the spot. - Ginger lemonades: blah. There was more lemonade than ginger and I'm a ginger girl. I need it 50/50 or at least 60/40, with 60 being ginger more. They're both super strong flavors so I need there to be a balance. - Chocolate Chip Cookie: Imagine insomnia cookie but on steroids. This is that cookie and it's all worth it. Super soft and gooey. I'd order again from any of their locations including the food truck. Great job and worth the pricing.

I ordered a rueben, truffle fries, and iced tea and it was $25. I pay less than that at a sit down restaurant for similar food downtown. Also the reuben sandwich was very thick cut corned beef, which was really fatty; most reubens are thinly sliced and leaner than this. It was disgusting to try and eat. Won't go back again, even if the food was extremely delicious, I can't afford to eat lunch at these prices often!

Best BLT's I have EVER had! Truffle butter/mayo whaaaaat. It's literally so good. Had them for the first time at Revival through ritual, and a second time with their food truck. I'm excited to eventually check out their patio in LP. Not only are the sandwiches sensational, but I'm pretty sure it's family operated, and they are doing hella work right now to feed frontline workers. Doesn't get any better than that. Love, Lexi

Love their sandwiches and salads. I frequently order lunch there and I'm never disappointed. Turkey sandwich is my favorite!

Came here for happy hour on a Thursday their Tito's Ginger Lemonade made us happy, if not too happy by the end of the day. We also had their grilled cheese which was awesome. Loved the staff too! Super nice and friendly and they just made our day.

This is the best turkey sandwich I ever had. It's so refreshing to eat, given the perfect balance of the cucumber with the warm turkey slices and avocado. The pretzel bun is chewy and delicious! As someone who doesn't usually care for sandwiches, this sandwich really impressed me. Although I wished the sandwich came with a side. it was $10 and not very filling. Pro tip- order it through ritual- you won't regret it when your sandwich is neatly packed and waiting for you!
