My friend has been trying to get me to go to Lark for such a long time & I really like this as a fun bottomless brunch option. We didn't think you had to make reservations, but this was the first thing that the hostess asked, so I would 100% recommend making a reservation, because they get pretty packed. With a bottomless brunch package, you can't really complain much. The drinks kept coming & getting to choose between a mimosa or a Bellini is somewhat different from most places. I didn't leave feeling that I chugged a gallon worth of... read moreMy friend has been trying to get me to go to Lark for such a long time & I really like this as a fun bottomless brunch option.

I didn't leave feeling that I chugged a gallon worth of sugar with the orange juice either.The food for brunch is just ok. Absolutely not below average, but I wouldn't come back just on the food alone- it's really more of the environment for this place.Overall, this is a great contender for a top brunch spot in this area. read less

Just had brunch, pixie was performing and it was literally show stopping, jaw dropping. She was fabulous, the food was great and we will be back 100% to pixel and have some great drinks and food!!

Thank you Ralph and team for another great meal and cocktails. The brunch chicken sandwich was so tasty I could not put it down. I will ne back for that.

Ridiculously good food. The service was great. It would be nice if they had a changing table in the bathroom. My wife and I asked if they had high chairs. Didn't realize we needed to ask about the changing table because we assumed if you have one, then have the other. Nothing wrong with the place, just not a place for new parents.

Very good service. The best Noé.

Wonderful

Came here on a whim while walking around during the week in the late afternoon, and grabbed some drinks here. The inside is interesting and wasn't expecting it considering the location and seeing it from the outside. The bartender who served us wasn't really all that friendly, but got us our drinks pretty quickly. I actually didn't really like my beer, but I definitely would like to come back and try some other drinks as well as their food for sure.

Stopped in for a drink, happened upon a drag show and had a great time. Food was perfect and service was on point. Definitely recommend.

Located in the Boystown neighborhood in Chicago, this place offers great food, great service, and good drinks in a casual spot. We enjoyed it so much, we visited twice during our weekend getaway in Chicago. Featuring wood-fired pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and more. Even fun drinks like the raspberry mule (it came with a pink rubber ducky) and over 12 craft beers if you happen to be into beers. Food wise we tried the cheese breadsticks stuffed with pesto. YUM!! It comes with a side of marinara if you want to dip the bread.

They are fried also. The chipotle lime chicken sandwich was really good. Came with applewood smoked bacon, grilled onions, white cheddar cheese and a delicious cilantro aioli on a ciabatta roll. The pulled pork Mac & cheese was yummy too. Creamy and crunchy thanks to the toasted breadcrumbs. The only thing we didn't try was the desserts so I guess we must go back to Chicago soon! read less

What a wonderful brunch spot in queerstown! Pixel put on a great show with Kara Mel and Spjork! Accompanied by bottomless sangrias, and some great food! Try the ultimate fried chicken breakfast sandwich! Will definitely be back for another brunch!

It’s a good place for something quick

What a cute place! A family friendly place smack dab in boys town! They even had zippy cups for the kids. So long as you don't mind the posters for RuPaul watch night and other themed brunches, this place is awesome down to the couches in front of the fireplace. Hello Rachel? The food was great. Tons of choices. Pizza, burgers and salads but not just standard options. Definitely more refined. And they have a cute outdoor space with heat lamps! There were food eating outside in November!

Definitely a place I'd come back to. Plenty of street parking for a Friday night. read less

Great outdoor patio, especially now that it's a little colder outside. They keep it nice and toasty out there-- but not so hot you'll feel like you're in a greenhouse! I've never had dinner here but the couple of appetizers my friends and I sampled were really good- try the totchos!They also have tons of great drinks although I'm partial to their Duck Mules because a) the only thing better than a Moscow Mule is a flavored Moscow Mule and b) you get a cute rubber ducky!!!!

Still, one mocktail isn't enough to downgrade Lark below a 5 star place! I'll definitely be back. read less

Great service and really good food.

Awesome spot! Great food and drinks!

Amazing food and drinks. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. One of my favorite finds in Chicago

Lark’s got an Oktoberfest menu that’s worth checking out. It includes schnitzel, German burger & bratwurst (The Schnitzel is great!). Good vibe, spacious interior and a beer garden make this a great place to come and hang out. The setup suggests to come and stay awhile rather than trying to turn over a table.

Food was very good. Got a cocktail with sage and it was refreshing like lemonade. Pizza choice was the italiano, with pesto, ricotta and mozz, perfect for after a couple rounds of drinks! Prices weren’t bad either 4 drinks and a pie about $65. Will def be back

Great food and atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely loved the food, loved the ambiance, and loved the servers. Just a stellar, 10/10 experience. I did see a medium-sized rat scurry through the patio area. Not a large one. A medium one. But I think that’s a Lori problem not a Lark problem. Get it together, Lori.

Awesome pizza, great staff, very clean

First off, I love the environment of lark I think it's super cute and cozy. The back patio is something we didn't expect it to have and it's so nice and private. We had the pumpkin ciders and honestly we loved them so much we could come back just for these ciders they are delicious! The breadsticks are some of the best I've ever had, super fresh and the fact that they gave us a big side of marinara sauce is a huge bonus lol.

Always good…service is spotty, but never horrible.

Great food, fast, responsive wait staff.

Stopped in here for a drink with my girlfriend, this place is great. They have a great cocktail menu and the staff is unbelievably nice.

Always love the quality of food and service here! One of my favorite spots! The Fettuccine Alfredo is so good!

We stopped by Lark for a quick bite and wanted to stay all day. There was seating inside but we made the most of a beautiful day on their outdoor patio. The food was fresh, delicious and more than enough. If we're ever in Chicago again we'll definitely go back. Oh! Bonus! It was only a short walk from Wrigley Field!

Good food, fun atmosphere, and friendly service!

One of the best meals I've had in Chicago! They did everything to perfection, starting with the service. The host was so friendly. And our server was honestly the best ever. Helpful when we asked for recommendations, fast, attentive, and great personality. We had a couple special requests, which he and the chef were more than happy to accommodate. They even made me a special dairy-free meat sauce for my pasta, which was so delicious. The atmosphere on their back patio manages the difficult balance of feeling both energetic and relaxed.

The atmosphere on their back patio manages the difficult balance of feeling both energetic and relaxed. Beautiful ivy covered walls with some fun murals. Good club music mix. A bit loud, which is par for any Boystown restaurant. And again, all of the food we ordered was amazing. Our group loved the Arancini appetizer and Cubano sandwich (which I didn't try because the dairy, but they were pretty vocal about how good they were). Highly highly recommend this place! read less

This place was great. Service was very friendly. Outdoor patio was amazing- so spacious, good vibes and music videos playing. Duck duck mules were delicious and so cute that each one comes with a new duck (ps you get a new one with each refill). Totchos were delish and a huge portion to split with someone else. Only downside was drinks are expensive. Will definitely be back at Lark especially for their deals throughout the week.

Nice place! The menu was very inventive, meats were delicious, as were the toppings. They also had salad, but I'm not a fan of their portions; instead, I recommend the pizza.The atmosphere and service were excellent, and I must say that I was very pleased with my overall experience. If you want to try something new and different, I recommend coming here, especially given the reasonable prices! You can also make friends with the owner, server, and other members of the staff. A very welcoming environment.

My husband and I have lived in the neighborhood for several years but never managed to venture in. What finally brought us in was the wood fire pizza. We have been to other places in the city for Neapolitan style pizza, or as my husband calls it, "pizza", but haven't yet tried Lark. We didn't realize that the best was right in our backyard, figuratively speaking. We dropped by early on a Friday night (about 5:30 pm). They have a quaint yet roomy covered outdoor patio.

We came for the pizza and it was fantastic! The crust was exceptional and the toppings, along with the sauce were yummy! We had the meat lovers and another special pizza with ham and mushrooms. We were so impressed, that we stayed for dessert and drinks afterwards. Their brownie sundae was sharable and delicious! I see us becoming regulars. With all the turbulence in the world, it was a true delight being treated with exceptional service and delicious fare. read less

Love the ambiance! Excellent service

I meant to review this place earlier, but it's a great spot to grab some dinner in a very fun/entertaining atmosphere. Went here a week ago in the middle of the week and had a great time with some great food. Would definitely recommend Lark to anyone looking for an enjoyable evening.

This is one of my favorite spots in Boystown! The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is amazing (they play Disney jams, 90s hits, Whitney Houston...you name it), their cocktails are incredible (especially the Sage Lark), and their food? Wow. I 10/10 recommend the Cheeseburger Pizza. Sounds weird but if you're craving both, this hits the spot! Also their chili is fantastic. Overall an awesome place to hang with friends and enjoy yourself.

Lively atmosphere, creative drinks!

My husband and I's favorite food spot in Boystown.Patio is so welcoming and HUGE!!Drag queen bingo is fun.Food is usually FANTASTIC. Service is always friendly.

Pizza Is soooo good!! Quattro Formaggi is my jam!! I wish they had more pizza selections or the ability to build or customize your own! The service is hit or miss, had a manager serving us one time because they had gotten so busy, but he was pleasant. The drinks are a little pricey for the joint.

Upbeat and fun. Went to brunch with 5 others and we all tried something different. The bottomless drinks were a bit weak. The food was scrumptious. Be warned the Nashville chicken is very spicy! Great DJ!

I ordered the lark smash burger and started crying halfway through because this is the absolute best burger I’ve eaten in my entire life. If you love yourself and are trying to live your best life, order it.

The service is great and the music is spot on!

Great service, lovely atmosphere, tasty food!

Good drinks. The biscuits and gravy are the bomb

Fabulous atmosphere, fabulous service, fabulous food and fabulous drinks!

Very tasty and fun! Staff was incredibly nice and did not mind the ratchetness my friend were causing ❤️

This place is smooth! I like it! #gospelbrunch 🍳🥞

Great food and consistently GREAT SERVICE!

Food, Fun, Entertainment and DRINKS

And great creative cocktails!! The staff couldn’t be more friendly and pleasant.

Love the out side space and the great service

Prompt attentive service and decent food and drinks

Excellent brunch today !!!

Nice patio and great pizza.

Great staff, good food, nice cocktails and an amazing patio!

I’m here every weekend that should tell you how great it is ❤️

Great place and great people, like Ralph.

Good food and great customer service. Everyone was so nice. They have an awesome outside patio and the interior is so beautiful.

Love the staff here and the vibes 💖

Delicious food, amazing service and staff, family friendly, warm and cozy atmosphere. ❤️

Fun times and fine food in Boystown

Cubano sandwich and onion rings are fantastic! Great service too!

Refreshing brunch! Nice selection and fun themes..,

Absolutely positively phenomenal

Great little jewel in boys town. Pizzas sea amazing.

Great pizza and service. Love the atmosphere.

I didn't like the horrible videos being played..or how loud the music was.. but the food was AMAZING!! I had the chicken Milanese, which had an awesome bread crumb coating. It was not greasy and the bread crumbs stayed on with every cut. my husband had a cobb salad with chicken and bleu cheese dressing.. we ordered the s'mores pizza dessert. very disappointed with it. The chocolate was that liquid HERSHEY'S SYRUP..too sweet the crust was sooo chewy. we admired the bar decor.. beautiful carvings.

Had the best time at Lark! The food was amazing and the staff were all nice and attentive throughout our meal! Our goal is to try as much food from Lark during our week vacation! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

exelente la comida y la atencion muy buena lo recomiendo

Great casual food, lovely little garden and love the Duck Duck Mule!

I stopped for some of my favorite items, totchos before driving 2 hours after concert in the city. Usually, amazing..... tonight (and, I mentioned to the bartender), there were a few crispy ones and the rest looked like they were smashed up like crazy. She said it was the toppings.......nope...... they are the same ones as always. I was just really let down tonight. And, I've never had a bad experience with them or Halsteds. #soggytots

A lot of fun and great service

A friend and I randomly stopped in and had delicious cocktails and food. Our waiter was also wonderful!

They have great customer service... The entire staff was pleasant... I will be back to visit soon... ☺️🤗

Very pleased with service and food was tasty.

Good pizza! And a fun brunch

Great brunch food along with a nice atmosphere.

Great food great atmosphere

This was my first time at Lark. The staff that I interacted with - from the host to the bussers - seemed extremely friendly. We were a party of varying numbers and our server Dylan gave us just the right amount of attention. He thought we were celebrating a birthday and was kind enough to bring a lit candle along with our dessert. I thought the house cocktails were creative - expensive, but creative. The food was also good - also on the pricey side though. I would like more eating choices. As it seems to be the... read moreThis was my first time at Lark.

The food was also good - also on the pricey side though. I would like more eating choices. As it seems to be the Lakeview/Boys Town standard, there were music videos playing (along with sports). Though loud sometimes, they provided conversation starters. Overall the decor and atmosphere were pleasant. I would definitely go back for the friendly service alone and to try some more of their signature drinks and their pizza that I’ve heard is very good. I now know to prepare for a hefty bill. read less

We have never had a bad meal here. Today was my first brunch. The record is unbroken.

Creative drink list, vegan options as well as great menu items. Noise level can get loud easily though.

really good pizzas, which is unexpected because it looks more like a bar when you enter

Very good food although I thought that they could do better with the ambience of the place

Great food, sandwiches, salads and of course tater tots!!! Kelly was an excellent server, we’ve been there a few times, he knows the menu and his drink suggestions are perfect!!!

Pedro was an amazing waiter and Tyler was the best host! Loved our pizza and duck duck mules 🙂

Good food, reasonable drink prices.

Great spot! Super friendly!

Very good food and fun adult beverages! ...and I got to keep the ducky!

Fun servers , yummy original dishes that isn't pretentious.The cocktails are delish and crafted by Doug to perfection. Love the rubber ducks on the drinks. It's all about the fun

Lark has a comfortable neighborhood feel. Our waiter Doug was kind and personable. The mimosas were bottomless but Lark was welcoming enough to the point were I felt I could have stayed till close. The food drinks and overall atmosphere make Lark a 10 out of 10 in my book!

Great pizza and drinks!! Our waiter Doug was so sweet and made a great Bloody Mary �

This place was spectacular! Food was delicious, service was excellent, and Doug the bartender makes a delectable Bloody Mary! Will definitely be frequenting disco brunch weekly

Of course I love Lark

Amazing place! Jorge can really pick the ducks!!! Jorge was the ducking best!! ���

Jorge was awesome!!! Best duck picker ��

It’s one of the best places on Halsted!!! Phenomenal pizzas and drinks!

Awesome place! Our server was so friendly and very attentive to detail. We are coming back for sure! The food is so good. We had pizza!

Thanks to all the Staff and patrons at Lark! It was a great Pride Celebration. You are AMAZING!

Fun place.... good food ...

Food was amazing! Atmosphere spectacular and Omar our waiter was amazing! He was fun and personable, and had a great wit about him! Highly recommend Lark!!! Don’t pass this awesome place by, unless you don’t want good food and service!

Atmosphere, food, and service all 5 Tylor the server is great!

Good food, great staff especially our Server Pedro 😊 Nice environment

This place has friendly staff & wonderful craft cocktails & brews. The ambience is lovely & chill, & the food has never disappointed. Extra points for having board games & scientific information about ornithological themes on the menu.

We were in town for the weekend and decided to have dinner at Lark before heading to a show. The staff and food was amazing ! We had steak and salmon at our table and everyone was very happy with their meal. It was our first time at Lark and we will be back on our next trip.

The atmosphere, food and service was fantastic!

Had brunch yesterday, really great corn beef hash with poached eggs. Some of the best hash I ever had. Great service, nice drinks, really enjoy going here

Great food, nice and clean inside, trendy but not tacky. The patio is fantastic!

Awesome food and awesome service! Gotta check it out if your around!

Lark has never disappointed. Great food and service.

Excellent service, Crystal was amazing! And the pizza is quite good.

Good food and good service, our server was friendly.

Very nice guy waited on us. Incredibly busy because of Market Days, but our waiter was on the ball as best he could. His name is Oz. Ask for Oz. He is the best.

I enjoyed my Lark Burger and house potatoes. The burger was massive and the potatoes had a great flavor, with or without ketchup.

It was our 1st there. The service was great as well as the food.

Pizzas look almost as delicious as the waiters. If you don't think so, order another Golden Monkey.

Had the totchos loved it just needed salsa..... still give them 5 stars great staff very helpful and engaging atmosphere

Excellent service, good portion size and great service!! Malcom rocked it!!

Very friendly came back and checked on you to see if you wanted anything else the food was late coming out . Came out to apologize had taken pizza off of the bill. thanks again to all the staff and all of God's blessings to each and one of you The Long Island tea that I had was definitely on point Rodney Atkins

Fun, comfortable place with an attentive staff. I like it better than Halstead ' s

I love this place! We sat by one of the open windows and enjoyed a great, fresh Margarita or two. Our server Gene was very attentive and friendly. Apps are so tasty- the meatballs were delightful! Lark is a favorite of mine to relax with friends while enjoying delicious food and drink!

The food, ambiance, and service are fantastic! Love going to this restaurant!
