I’m a big fan of Milkstop having eaten there often. The servers are attentive and friendly. I love the creativity of the seasonal menus and the overall menu choices. I’ve also had some amazing cocktails too. Can’t go wrong there.

If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? This place has such a creative menu with unique but approachable food and drinks, excellent service and a really cool vibe. The prices are very reasonable especially for what the menu has to offer. They have a great brunch on weekends. Happy hour and half off wine Wednesdays are also a great time to go. They also have a private event space in their deli shop which is adjacent to the restaurant. Be sure to check out the subs and salads in the deli shop and also consider hosting a private event in the event space which holds up to 40 people.

We have ordered our office lunch a few times, and the food is excellent. They are very careful to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which I appreciate.

This was our first time at Milk Stop. Cannot say we will go back again. I wanted to take my wife for a nice Valentine's day lunch. The place is quient and welcoming, but the food and service was not what we expected from the info and images on the website. We realized that we got the wrong order when we were brought another burger order that looked more like what we wanted. The whole story is to long to write, but our server K grace was fine, with room for improvement . On the food side, could use less salted. My last complaint is that, usually, when I order soup at my favorite restaurants, it comes with bread. Didn't think I was going to be overcharged for bread.

This place advertises serving breakfast and lunch, but opens at 4:30 on a Saturday. Ridiculous.

Been to Milk Stop a few times for lunch the past year or so. Always terrific food hats off to the chef, but honestly the service leaves something to be desired. Was there again today 1/31/24 at about 1:30pm and yet again experienced an issue with service. All three of us were only drinking water and the water glasses are very small, and we kept emptying them and no one was filling them. I had to venture away from our table to try to find more water on my own. Politely asked a female waitress if we could have a pitcher of water on our table. Was shocked to be told no, in a somewhat rude manner. Took a moment for me to process that. Wow. Sure, maybe she was just having a bad day, but I still have to give low score for service. Not a fatal error and I'm sure I'll be back again.

Some of the best food & drink, from the most compassionate,knowledgeable and professional restaurant staff in Chicago-land.
Goodness, who doesn't like this place. The food is outstanding. The service, the atmosphere, the friendliness, background music, buzz of everyone in here. Try the perch muniere. It's a perch sandwich and the handling of the fish is amazing. It's sweet, tender, so light in taste they might have caught the fish today. I sometimes get it without the bun-the bun is excellent-and substituting salad for great fries. Randy, at the bar, is an awesome guy, attentive, caring, really nice guy. Sit the bar with Randy, you'll like it. AND, great place to see the world and its trains go by. Great "sheltered" park like setting and amazing train station across the street for the view.
