Loved our dinner at Wishbone! Everyone who works there is so incredibly nice and professional. We felt very well taken care of. Everyday they have $5 cocktail specials -- are you kidding me?? $5?!?! Even their regular prices are such great values. We had a delicious dinner -- the shrimp and grits and a bunch of sides. Oh, and their cornbread! Someone should write poetry about their cornbread :-). Go to Wishbone -- you'll feel cared for as you drink your delicious drink(s) and eat your delicious food. A Chicago must!

Food is as good as ever, which is to say, Pretty Darn Good! The noise level was good when we walked in, except for the music, which the waiter turned down. Then, as lunch proceeded, it got noisier and noisier. But we definitely recommend it. The new restaurant is lovely, bright and welcoming.

My daughter was home from college and wanted breakfast food but we got there after breakfast. But you guys were great you were still able to accommodate her with pancakes, eggs and bacon. Thank you so much. It’s always the small things that mean so much. Thank you Arthur!!!

Always terrific food in a relaxed and friendly environment. While we miss Wishbone at their old location on Morgan, their new home on Jefferson is an easy walk with evening parking out front on the street. The menu offers old favorites well prepared at a reasonable price and it's just a very comfortable place to dine.

This was not a bad experience, it just wasn’t memorable. We didn’t have any food that we would be dying to go back for. The food wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great. The value was good though. And the service was great. I was expecting more from a restaurant that excepts reservations.

We always enjoy the food and love that the owner is so attentive to every customer. The owner had to deal with a unprofessional waitress while we were there and he and the rest of the staff still made sure we were treated as valued customers. This will continue to be one of our favorite restaurants.

All I have to say is, “those corn cakes complete me!” If i don’t eat anything else those corn cakes have been on my mind. The food overall was amazing and delicious. We both raved about this place ever since we left.

I came here based upon a recommendation from a co-worker for a business lunch. Not exactly the same ambience as the former Wishbone by the former Harpo Studios in the West Loop, but good overall. I had the shrimp & grits entrée. I didn't read the menu carefully to note that it has mushrooms in it (which I don't care for). The dish was otherwise very satisfying. Definitely a place I would recommend.

I had a wonderful experience this evening. The jambalaya, gumbo and corn cakes were delicious. I had the catfish dinner with greens and mac and cheese. The catfish was well seasoned and fried to perfection. The greens had a nice kick, not too spicy. The mac and cheese was tasty, not too cheesy. I had the hurricane cocktail was refreshing. Highly recommend! Our waiter was so professional, helpful and kind. He answered all of our questions and gave us some lovely food and drink recommendations
