I came to this spot with pretty low expectations—honestly, Chicago has let me down on food more times than I can count. But my family and I decided to give it a shot anyway. Coming from Texas, fried chicken has to be on point, no exceptions. Let me just say… this place surprised me in the best way.
Our server, Leslie, was fantastic and had great recommendations right from the start.
We kicked things off with:
• Deviled eggs — absolutely incredible, especially with that crispy ham on top. I can’t say enough good things about them. Order these.
• Biscuits — buttery, flaky perfection. Paired with the butter and jam, they were dangerous.
• Hush puppies — I usually don’t even like hush puppies, but these were next-level. Super crispy, not your typical cornbread taste, and the pepper jam took them to another dimension. I was shocked how much I loved them.
For mains:
• My wife and I split the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken was solid—juicy and tasty—but I’ll be honest, I wanted it a little crispier and more heavily seasoned. Still very good overall.
• My mom and goddaughter got the chicken sandwiches, and they were so juicy the juice literally shot out and got all over my daughter’s clothes. That’s how you know it’s real.
• My daughter ordered the shrimp and lobster roll on Texas toast. I stole a bite and it straight-up melted in my mouth. The seafood was perfectly seasoned, and the crispy bread was the ideal vehicle.
We also did the hot chocolate flight (the alcoholic-infused one ). Every single one was delicious, but the Baileys version? Unreal. Highly recommend.
Service was top-tier—Leslie took such good care of us. Heads up: they automatically add 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more, but our service was so good we happily tipped on top of that.
If you’re from the South (especially Texas) and you’ve been struggling to find food in Chicago that actually hits right—this is the spot. Phenomenal experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back.

The food was delicious. The service was great. Our server, Autumn, was great. She gave good recommendations. The hummingbird cocktail was delicious and the pomegranate Maui o waui. We will definitely be back.

Found this place by chance and was happy to stumble upon it. Their happy hour is a bit of a gimmick and I wouldn’t go there for this reason as it is wordsmithing at its worst BUT if you can look away from that and get in a cocktail or 3, you would be happy with what you imbibe. The goat cheese biscuits are great. Chicken wings flavor is good, but look beyond that and get the shrimp and grits. Nice way to spend an afternoon with a friend on the pier. Mind the fruit flies you see along the windows.

What an incredible restaurant — everything from the atmosphere to the food and service was exceptional. The moment you walk in, you feel the warmth and energy of a place that truly celebrates great cooking and genuine hospitality.
The service was flawless, with every team member making sure you felt welcome and cared for. And the food… simply phenomenal! The steak was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, the grilled chicken and shrimp salad was light yet full of character, and the deviled eggs topped with caviar were an absolute masterpiece — creative, elegant, and delicious.
Chef Art Smith is a true artist in the kitchen. You can taste the passion and precision in every bite — this is comfort food elevated to fine dining perfection. Add a great glass of wine and a beautiful setting overlooking the Navy Pier, and you’ve got the recipe for an unforgettable evening.
If you’re in Chicago and want a restaurant that combines soul, flavor, and heart, Reunion is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!

We ate at Reunion by Chef Art Smith, Navy Pier, on October 11. One piece of advice–do NOT sit on outdoor patio because the BEEs won’t leave you alone. The food was fun and fantastic. I had Waffles with Berries, apples and cream cheese glaze. Yum! My group had Waffles and Chicken and loved it.
Service was excellent and pricing, for Chicago, wasn’t bad. Chicago charges enormous taxes in restaurants and hotels so be forewarned. Run 10% plus.
Would visit Reunion again.

I was blown away by how awesome the experience was. I was already a fan of Chef Art from his TV appearances but had never tried his food. From the moment we walked through the door till the moment we left we felt cared for and the comfort of southern food amplifyed the experience. We hit the restaurant about 30min after opening and the staff was moving and grooving. Thank you guys for a wonderful and memorable meal.

This food was soooo good. The presentation was great, flavors on point, and servings filling. I ordered the fried green tomatoes on the appetizer list but the portion was huge !! That could have been and Entree on its own ! I also had the crab cakes smaller portion but they were full of crab meat and NOT filler!! We all wanted to try the chicken, but we didn’t want a full order and we were pleased to find out you could order a single piece. It was Delicious! I will definitely go back the next time I visit! Amazing job chefs,servers, and host!!! Thank you for an amazing experience❤️

The food was the best we had by far during this Chicago visit. A non-exhaustive list of top tier sampling include: fried chicken, pan-seared salmon, chimichurri skirt steak, fish sandwich, short rib, mashed potatoes, world famous Mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, chicken wings, and last but not least — the deviled eggs topped with caviar. My wife loved this place so much that I think we ate 5 meals here during our stay!

For a southern inspired restaurant, this place is FAR from it. They don’t even serve sweet tea! We were left saddened by the food. We ordered a “hot chicken sandwich” and it was not hot, spicy or temperature! The piece of chicken not only still cold, it seemed to have been a previously cooked, frozen breaded chicken from the grocery store. Chick fil a could have provided us a better meal. Do not recommend this place for a “southern” anything. We were offered dessert before we left. But we couldn’t trust anything from here after a cold piece of breaded chicken.
