    No mussels?! JK, that looks perfect.

    God I love this place on a cold night. It’s such a gem. I’ve never had a bad night at Hopleaf. They absolutely deserve the James Beard.

    You should try their fries.

    Jokes aside, that table looks pretty good.

    I had an AWFUL burger there four months ago. Bland, wet, soggy and impossible to eat. Worst meal I had in years.

    The ham sandwich slaps, though.

    My favorite pork schnitzel of all time. Hopleaf is a Chicago treasure.

    That’s a good plate of fries. I hate when I get a plate of little stumpies, which is about every 3rd or 4th time I’m there. But with their garlic aoli, I never stay mad.

    I love that place. “Need anything else? Salt? Pepper? A shovel to dig out your sandwich?”

    Best sandwich in Chicago. Fight me.

    Never been, but saw the mussels comment, and must have them now! Anyone know if they’re everyday? I didn’t see them on their menu.

    do they still do the grilled cheese with bacon and fig preserves?

  11. Can I get some extra frites with your fries?

    Looks like a great time! I’m at home reading as well

    I love Hopleaf, but I hate that I can’t bring my teenagers with me.

    i’ve been wondering if this is a good solo spot to eat/drink and read

    There’s a soft spot in my heart for die hard diners who keep restaurants populated in bad days/months

    They need to bring that head cheese back.

    Hopleaf is an absolute gem.
