We came here 1/12/25
For a table i recommend you get a reservation, it’s a small restaurant. It was busy here and the wait time was long. But I had the caramel rum waffles and chicken with a side of greens and mac n cheese. The waiter was nice . He got my mimosa right away. My food was an 8/10. Greens were the best, mac n cheese too cheesy for me. And the prices are a bit high for small sides. All the drinks are giving $20 too. Parking on the street was fine.

Visited 01-10-25, I got the wing platter, wings was decent. I liked the BBQ and the jerk the most. The hot honey was not giving! The macaroni was 5/10 , the cabbage was really seasoned! The salmon bites 8/10. The Bartender Manager Kandis was Awesome! Drinks was fye (mention light on the syrup for the tower). Music was really nice. Our Server Karly was good,she gave great recommendations! Nice atmosphere it's small inside so a reservation is definitely recommended! They offer brunch on the weekends, and also Taco Tuesday! Overall experience 7/10 will be back for the drinks!

The food was delicious. Service was upscaled. Music was great. We had a really great time.

I am still thinking about the chicken and Mac/Cheese. Please note that none of their items are made with pork or beef.

Tips were terrible I have NEVER had turkey tips that were mostly fat, they were actually sitting in a puddle of grease. My stomach was hurting for about 2 hours after eating them. My drink was good lol.

Review №22

I wanted to try to place based on the Tik tok reviews. I was able to walk in without a reservation. Which was great. The drinks were amazing! The top shelf margarita flight was bomb! The salmon bites for an appetizer could have been cooked a little longer. I also ordered the jerk turkey tips and I was highly disappointed because they were so fatty and full of gristle. I had to send them back because they were cold. And ultimately didn’t even eat them because they were to fatty. They took them off the bill. The sides were delicious. My date had the salmon which was undercooked. This place I
Give a 5 out of 10. And I didn’t like the fact that they don’t print you out an itemized receipt for your bill. You have to see it on a portable scanner. Maybe brunch would be better but my expectations weren’t met

The customer service was awful. The restaurant opens at 4pm on Saturdays and my girlfriend and I arrived at the restaurant at 3:50pm. It’s January and freezing cold outside and they would not allow us to come inside even though they saw us. Then we waited outside until 4pm and they still would not allow us to come inside because they were not ready to open. The manager said we needed to wait outside for 10 more minutes. At this point we left because they were inconsiderate and rude and told us to wait outside even though they were already officially open.

I can’t even begin to describe how AMAZING this restaurant is!!! The atmosphere is classy, the service was phenomenal, the food was absolutely mouth watering. I couldn’t get enough of the lamb chops - we tried it in every flavor! Mac and cheese was perfect, jerk chicken was perfect.

Thank you, Jada, for the superb customer service, and L station for the delectable food.

My first time here and I'll say it was a great vibe, music, food and service. Our server Kendall was great. My only critique is the BBQ turkey tips had a little too much fat on them but I won't let that deter me from coming back. The sides were delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Review №73

For one, the atmosphere was very pretty. We waited for them to open, and there was a couple in front of us. While the door was opened for them, the worker closed the door on us, as if he were preventing us from coming inside the restaurant. He then opened the door and we were seated immediately. We went to this restaurant in hopes of having brunch but they were not serving any brunch food because apparently, they were “all out” as stated by the waitress, so we had to opt for the dinner menu instead. I was either going to go for the loaded fries, the turkey sandwich, or the pastrami sandwich, which just so happened to be the three cheapest items on the menu. But the waitress coincidentally stated that those specific items were not available. So I decided to go with the chicken sandwich. What really ruined my experience was the fact that the waitress failed to mention that the entree came with a side. It didn’t state on the menu either that the food came with a side. So when I left the establishment and realized that I paid for a full amount of food but only received half of it, I was surely annoyed.

The Service I experienced at The L station was unacceptable. The hostess’s/greeter with the blonde locs was extremely rude and had a disrespectful nasty attitude, i have visited the this restaurant twice and each time there was an issue my reservation and i was made to stand outside in 15-20 degree weather as a result of the ignorant hostess

In addition , the food took over an hour to come to our table with half the portion than the last time, even after a required 18% gratuity the waitress tried to passively agreeable have me pay another gratuity

There are way too many black owned restaurants in the Chicago with a similar menu to have to deal with this . I will not be back and will never recommend this establishment

The food was overall amazing, however the guy at the front with the blonde hair with locs attitude is extremely horrible. I came in from out of town for my birthday and he made my initial experience extremely horrible. I think his name is Toby. He looks like he does not want to be working there.
Probably not a good a good idea for a first impression

Review №96

We had fried lobster(worth every penny), shrimp bites and a variety of sides. Although the portions of shrimp bites were small ( 8 small pieces), it was absolutely delicious. So, I'll take the quality over quantity. The menu is limited and they ran out of greens at 5:30 pm. So that was disappointing. Nonetheless, our server Brandon was kind and apologetic about the wait time on the food and a small incident that occurred. Overall, we enjoyed the food and will be back to try other dishes.

Listen here! This place has exceeded my expectations! Nice swanky spot up downtown Chicago. The twist on classic soul food recipes has me raving about this place! I brought my husband for his 33rd birthday along with our 6 kids and then menu had enough options to satisfy all of us! Our 1 year old was getting down!. The hostess Candice was top tier. She engaged in conversation with our littles and brought the awesome lollipops for them. Our server Carlie (hope I spelled it right lol) was Dope As F**k!! We just love her energy her ability to serve us and our children is something I won't ever forget as a dining experience!

I walked in with no reservations and they sat me down quickly and was assisted fast. Chris was a great server with great vibes ,answered all of my questions about the food options and was very helpful. I loved this place the music and definitely the food.
I got the wing platter and the jerk chicken sent me through the top along with the lamb chops . I didn’t even need anything else. It was bomb . The Mac and cheese is definitely better than most places but could use a little more seasonings , and the veggie burger was good.if you don’t know what to get get the lamb chops it’s worth it!!

Cocktail service is excellent. Both T and Dasia are awesome. Happy Hour specials make it a reasonable weekday treat. Love the tacos, lemon drops and rum punch. If you're splurging, don't miss the Margarit flight and the Salmon for dinner. One of the most delicious salmon dinners around. A great portion, but not a budget, friendly option. Live DJs on Tuesday make it a VIBE.

Great music was played and the food was so good. When I come back to Chicago I will definitely be coming back. Thank again for the great experience Davi!!!

I didn’t get a chance to actually go and enjoy the food I was truly looking forward to it. I am traveling from out of town and made a reservation for noon, get there for them to say they weren’t opening for another 3 hours. It shouldn’t have been an option to book for that time if they weren’t going to be open. The lack of communication was disheartening. Hopefully in the future I can taste the quality of their food, everything looked amazing.

Yalllllllll get here, get here, get hereeeeee!!!!!

I recently visited this wonderful black-owned restaurant, and I had a fantastic experience! The staff was incredibly nice, kind, and helpful, making me feel right at home. Although I wasn’t a fan of the beans I ordered, they promptly replaced them with a different side without any hesitation.

But the highlight of my visit was definitely Jada, the bartender. She is hands down the best bartender in town! The drinks she crafted were absolutely delicious, and her friendly demeanor made my evening even better. I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of what this amazing place has to offer!

My mother found this restaurant from Tiktok so we stopped in for brunch with our family and we enjoyed ourselves. The food was very fresh, well seasoned, and tasty. I had the chicken and waffles which I loved. The honey and hot sauce was delicious on the chicken. My toddler had eggs and fried chicken and she really enjoyed it. It had the vibes and decor. The music was just a tad bit too loud but their playlist was really great. Our server was Brandon and he was friendly, funny, he constantly checked on us, and made sure we were having a good time.

Came here on some last minute, hungry vibes. We were originally told 1 hour for the wait time, however it was only a 25 minute wait which was even better for us. Jada was our server and she was wonderful from the customer service to the recommendations. Everything she recommended was delicious and her service was wonderful. We will definitely be back to visit again.

My mother and I came to Chicago for the weekend for a quick birthday getaway and had an opportunity to visit the L Station. We were greeted with phenomenal service from the entire staff. We personally were waited on by T and he was such a pleasure. T thanks for the recommendations and everything was good as promised. We really enjoyed the salmon and shrimp bites as well as the BBQ turkey tips. We will definitely be back.

The L Station offers flavorful dishes ( I had the Salmon Bites, Shrimp Bites, and Lamb Mac n' Cheese), and attentive service, a few factors dampened my overall impression.

The intimate setting can feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the bar's chair height might make it difficult to easily enjoy your meal (but I did love that they had purse hooks). Lastly, the pervasive smoke will leave an unwanted scent on clothes and hair.

Despite these minor drawbacks, my dining experience was enjoyable. I'd come back but only if I have a reservation for a table and if I was planning to go straight home afterwards to wash my hair.

Also of note: They play music with explicit lyrics.
