"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"Without discrediting its other meals, Wishbone's brunch is a must-try. For a true taste of the South, dig in to the shrimp and grits, shrimp sauteed with bacon, mushrooms, scallions, wine and cream and served over cheese grits ($8...."

"Entrees pose no major surprises, but sumptuous pulled pork with mac and cheese will always be a hit for the kiddies; you can't go wrong with a juicy "backyard burger. " Southern fundamentals like jambalaya Cajun stew and blackened catfish are tasty and no..."

"While a few Raters grumble that the food doesn't justify the hype -- or the crowds -- most seem to agree that Wishbone's combination of fast, reliable, moderately creative food, brisk service, and funky decor doesn't need much tinkering. Lunch and dinner..."

"This larger, sleeker Wishbone opened about the same time the original location on Grand closed in 1999, and the menu is the same -- upscale southern comfort food such as blackened catfish, chicken-fried steak, collard greens, and buttery corn muffins. But..."

"Though the lurid frescoes depicting farm animals and flying eggs might seem straight from a child's nightmare of Old McDonald's farm, Wishbone is anything but nightmarish. Frequented by everyone who know where to go for a good, inexpensive meal, Wishbone..."

"Known for Southern food and big-appetite breakfasts, Wishbone's extensive, reasonably priced menu blends hearty, home-style choices with healthful and vegetarian items. Brunch is the 'Bone's claim to fame, when an eclectic crowd of bedheads pack in for th..."

"Who doesn't love to indulge in comfort food, particularly as winter seems to have approached Chicago quite suddenly, and harshly at that? And no doubt, southern cooking definitely lives up to its reputation as some of the best comfort food around...."

"When we have a craving for Southern cooking (and Cajun-Creole), Wishbone is the place. Owned and run by the Nickson family who call it Southern Reconstruction Cooking, it's one of Chicago's best values...."

"Noisy, lively and fun, this big sister to the original restaurant on Grand Avenue is an attractive diner with floor to ceiling windows, lots of seating, a bustling bar and counter service. The wide-ranging menu, with its decidedly southern emphasis, featu..."
