It was my first time there and it did not disappoint! I got the vegan breakfast chimichanga and the vegan blueberry fried pies. Both were absolutely delicious! The cashew cream queso is to die for. Huge portions too.
I can't rate this place high enough. This has everything I love! Vegetarian options for me, amazing service, awesome punk atmosphere, will be a regular place for me in Wicker Park. So so good. I recommend it to anyone!
Cool place and is well regarded by many people! This is my second time here and the drinks are great along with how fast the food comes out. I feel like I still haven’t figured out the right thing to order as I wasn’t a fan of the chili Mac or the vegan sloppy Joe but the nachos were fantastic! Will have the come back for brunch
Always friendly and quick service.
Back area is a pleasant oasis and good chill vibe.
I come here when I’m hungry and need a dose of veggies in my life.
Sambal Tofu - veggie and flavor bomb. I never deviate from this order.
Everything green salad - super creamy and crunchy. Love the pistachios.
Fantastic vegetarian spot with some good fish options as well. Highly recommend a visit. The Irish coffee was also a do not miss. And if you can get there before three the chimichanga is great
Best vegan spot in Chicago. The vibe in here is unmatched. The food is fresh, homemade, and filling. Get the chimychonga. The desserts are perfect. Huge plates, so affordable.
They have eggs, and most everything can be made vegan. Full bar and coffee too. This place rules. This will be a spot I go back to every time I’m in chicago.
Finally a broad selection for vegetarian eaters in Chicago! Really enjoyed their fried “chicken” tacos and Nashville hot “chicken” sandwich. Both were battered / fried hen of the woods mushrooms and added great texture to the fish.
Veggie chili mac was okay, but not a memorable taste and wouldn’t order again.
No reservations despite the website saying they have a waitlist on the Resy app. They don’t! They’ll only seat you first come first served, and you’ll only be seated when you’re whole party arrives so plan accordingly.
Vegetarian/vegan restaurant with some pescatarian options along with a hefty drink menu. The indoor has some seating and the backyard is a big patio with more tables and string lights. Portions here are HUGE.
Chilli cheese fries - shoelace (thin) and very crispy fries with melted cheese and vegan (bean) chili. I’m curious as to how this would’ve tasted had they used soy or seitan-based “beef” crumbles. Very tasty and true to the “oily American food” base.
Chips and guac - okay guacamole. Could use more lime and something to add a kick like a pinch of paprika or chopped jalapeños.
Nashville hot “chicken” sandwich - they did an amazing job frying the mushrooms into one crispy “patty” and dousing it in Nashville hot seasonings and oil. Paired really well with the slaw and pickles in the big brioche bun.
Fried plantains - freshly made and proper fried plantains!
There aren’t any other vegetarian restaurants in Chicago that do it as well as Handlebar. On top of that the Nashville “Chicken” sandwich is hands down the best vegetarian sandwich in the city. Hen of the woods mushroom batter fried to perfection. I recommend the gouda mac and cheese side. (Vegetarian po’ boy is the picture)

Soooo good! Had the Handlmuffin (vegan version) and Vegan Chili Mac. Everything was super flavorful and well cooked. Great coffee too with unlimited refills. Especially loved the Handlmuffin. Definitely be back!!!
Well-executed modern takes on Mexican and American cuisine, all vegetarian and vegan friendly. Overall, Chicago was a revelation when it came to how easy it was to find vegan restaurants, and Handlebar is definitely a flag-bearer of that trend. The outdoor seating area at the back is a fantastic place to sit and relax, while you enjoy the good food. Be sure to try the Vegan Mac & Cheese Chili, the Black Bean Tostadas and the Fried Pickles.
We ordered Egg&Sausage Sandwich, Pepita scramble, and chimichanga. The dishes tasted great, good portion of food (lots of potatoes too) with reasonable prices. The unique nice place to hang out with family or friends.
