Giant Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Wow, was I absolutely floored on my most recent trip to
Wow, was I absolutely floored on my most recent trip to Giant. I'd like to think of myself as a retired Yelp reviewer, but I'm coming out of retirement to talk about just how impressed I was on my most recent trip to Giant was. I've been several times now and the food has always been excellent, but today I'm here to talk about the service. My boyfriend and I went to Giant last night to celebrate our anniversary, and due to a backup in the kitchen, we were seated just under 30 minutes later than our reservation time. This didn't really bother us because it was a beautiful night and the neighborhood was lovely to walk around, however, Giant took this very seriously. They went way way WAY above and beyond to show us how sorry they were for the delay by gifting us champagne, several dishes, and a dessert, all completely on the house. We were so appreciative of the initiative, and it only deepened our love of this restaurant. Giant is a prime example of a restaurant that values hospitality to the same degree that they value the quality of their food, which is something that you don't see all that often. Giant is easily one of my top 3 all-time favorite places to eat in Chicago based on their food alone, and the service-first experience we had last night just reaffirmed my opinion that Giant is one of the best restaurants Chicago has to offer. Bravo, Giant, keep up the excellent work.

Bucatini, Sortallini, jalapeño biscuit, all good! The peppers were not my favorite. I wish they had a bit larger menu, but interesting options for sure. I think we also had anchovy bread. I'd go for the flank steak or fish as well next time. The butter for the bread was really great. Everything had unique flavor and the Pinot noir was nice. Highlight was the dessert crepe! That was amazing, save some room! The service was pleasant. It's a little tight in there but we were comfortable. Didn't realize how many good restaurants are situated in Logan Square. Need to venture over more. Thank you
I've had the privilege of eating at some of the best
I've had the privilege of eating at some of the best restaurants this city has to offer, but out of all the top rated spots I've been to, Giant is definitely my favorite. The first time I ate here was truly a mind blowing experience. Everything on the menu seems pretty unassuming at first, but you experience a flavor bomb of epic proportions after the first bite of any of their dishes. I had no idea that vegetables could be elevated to such a high level. And the surprise I've experienced from these dishes has left a lasting impression on my palate. Giant is a New American restaurant that's run by national award winning chef Jason Vincent, Ben Lustbader, and Josh Perlman. Vincent and Lustbader worked together with Jason Hammel at Lula Cafe and again at the now closed Night Wood in Pilsen. Giant opened in 2016 and received much deserved acclaim from local foodies, critics, and various food publications. Not only does the menu go through some seasonal changes, but existing fan favorites are elevated even more and end up tasting even better. The first two items I have tried here were the biscuit and trout row bite. It was the best biscuit I've ever had and the maple butter that comes with it is delicious. I can't recall ever eating a biscuit that was so soft and moist. And the trout roe bite delivers a burst of flavor that indubitably hypes you up for what's to come. The first vegetable dish I got to try was the broccoli and I was blown away. Never in a million years would I ever think that a plate of broccoli could taste so good. I was so taken aback and surprised by how delicious this was. I mean, this is broccoli we're talking about here! This is what makes Giant so great. Up next was the Jonah crab salad with waffle fries and Japanese eggplant. The waffle fries were the best I have ever had and pretty much ruined all other fries for me. I've never been a fan of eggplant, but I ordered it due to the rave reviews it's received from foodies. It comes with pita bread that's apparently based off a pizza dough recipe from the first restaurant Jason Vincent worked at. This is one of my favorite dishes of theirs and is something I will order every single time. It completely changed the way I think about eggplant. Up next were the peppers that come with anchovy bread and those are also a must order. Then there's the carrots and once again I was taken aback by the sauce, the surrounding crunchiness of whatever the hell they top them with and just the fact that carrots could taste this good. I also ate the onion rings and they were the best I've had. Now, I have only ever had okonomoyaki once, but this one was way better than that one. Very tasty. You must order at least a few pasta dishes here. I've tried the bucatini, sortalini, tagliatelle, chiromante and they are absolutely stellar. The bucatini is probably my favorite, but they are all amazing and my favorite pasta dishes in the city. And that is truly saying something. The only protein dish I've eaten from here is the flank steak and that too is delicious. I've eaten the entire dessert menu and they are some of the finest in the city. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think the crepes suzette is just a little better than the other two. There really is no wrong choice, though. Also, the service here is top notch. The staff has been incredibly friendly, accommodating and enthusiastic. Like I've mentioned before, this is my favorite restaurant and I would eat here once a week if I could. I wish I lived in Logan Square just so I can order carry out! The Yelpers who give this place 1 star are clearly fools, delinquents, and charlatans who deserve to be in jail. Don't listen to them! Listen to me! I am an ELITE yelper, after all. Oh god. What has become of me? I used to have hopes and dreams, you know. I guess my life took one too many wrong turns. Now look. I'm sure the chefs here hate people like me..... Anyways! The cuisine at Giant is creative and eclectic, so do yourself a favor and book a reservation ASAP!
The only "giant" thing here is prices.
Are the dishes good? Yes? But their portions are laughably small for those prices. For example, you pay $20+ for your pasta dish and it's literally 3 bites. Not worth coming back.
One of my favorite dining experiences in the city of
One of my favorite dining experiences in the city of Chicago! The food, the, service, the timing...everything was phenomenal. We shared the Jalapeno Biscuit, the Eggplant, the Okonomiyaki, the Sortalini, and the Swordfish. Everything was tasty, but the eggplant was the standout. One of my favorite bites in the city. The food was all ordered at once and was coursed out, and I can't say enough good things about the timing. We never felt rushed and loved having a few moments between courses to chat and sip wine. The entire experience was relaxing, delicious, and exactly what dining out should be! Would give 10 stars if I could!
Giant is a small plates, cozy little restaurant.
As others have noted, the tables are seated close together and you WILL be able to hear other parties' conversations, but I still think it's a great place for a date or to catch up with friends. I think the menu is a perfect size, too, where you're able to order a bunch of dishes but still feel like you're not missing out on too much. The plates are meant for sharing and I think are the perfect portion sizes if you are ordering a couple to split. We ordered the broccoli, carrots, okonomiyaki, Japanese eggplant, bucatini, sortalini, and monkfish tom kha. I will note that all of the dishes here are STRONGLY flavored: they're salty, they're punchy. Everything was good, nothing incredibly mind-blowing, but still enjoyable. The standouts to me were the bread that comes with the Japanese eggplant (Indian-inspired flatbread, you can order more for the side) and the okonomiyaki. Dishes I didn't love as much were the carrots, which had a strong orange zest flavor, and the monkfish, which tasted just like a tom yum but wasn't anything special. For a drink, I got the goodnight moon, which I enjoyed a lot as well. Giant is also super accommodating for any dietary restrictions and allergies (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) so this is a great place to come for that. Service was also super attentive, always clearing our plates and refilling our water. They also pack any leftovers away as you go through the courses and have it ready for you by the end of the meal, which is super convenient.

Had a great meal here recently! We were a group of 3 which meant we avoided the super cramped 2-tops so my tip is to go with more than 1 other person to do the same. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable, and checked in on us enough without being overbearing. We ordered the broccoli, onion rings, okonomiyaki, ahi tuna, lamb ragu, monkfish and microwave cake. These 6 dishes + dessert were perfect for 3 people. My favorites were the lamb ragu, which was so luscious; the broccoli, which was deeply flavorful, and the monkfish, which was so light and cooked perfectly. The onion rings arrived cold and weren't anything special. The ahi tuna was the same - it tasted like any other crudo you can get out. The okonomiyaki was good just not quite as memorable as the other dishes I mentioned. Dessert was fine, tasty but not incredible or creative. I'd still recommend this place to anyone!
I have eaten at all the Chicago Michelin Bib Gourmand
I have eaten at all the Chicago Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants and Giant is my absolute favorite! The food is so delicious and creative and the atmosphere is very welcoming and unpretentious. Last night we had the broccoli, eggplant, okonomiyaki, and the crab pasta. All delicious and the one bite trout roe to start with is an absolute explosion of flavor! We had Brennan as our server and he is absolutely one of the best servers I have had in any restaurant - ever (and that is saying a lot since I am in my 60s and eat out at least four times a week!) Make a reservation way in advance and, if you pair a delicious dinner at Giant with after dinner drinks at Scofflaw next door, you have the makings of a perfect Chicago evening!
Super cute neighborhood restaurant in Logan square.
Somewhat hard to snag a reservation but I would say it is worth it to try it at least once. I have been a couple times and do not see the need to rush back. They change up their menu which is fun but also sad because two of my favorite items were taken off. The green chile cocktail needs to come back, giant if you are reading this PLEASE bring that cocktail back. But honestly service was 10/10 because our server wrote out the ingredients for us to attempt to make at home. Definitely get the trout roe and the broccoli.
We walked in without a reservation and Giant was not only
We walked in without a reservation and Giant was not only friendly, but accommodating. Excellent hospitality, and great food!
Amazing culinary treat
Wow, what a special treat it was to have dinner at Giant in Logan Square! My daughter had been wanting to try it and she was able to score early reservations for the Saturday I was in town. Our server expertly walked us through the menu which is loosely organized from smallest to largest plates. This is a place where everything is so tasty, you will want to share. We started with the Little Jalapeño Biscuit. Served with maple butter, it was just enough for two very rich and satisfying bites. Next came the delicious sweet and spicy peppers, which paired beautifully with a generous serving of anchovy bread. I was prepared to forego the onion rings, but our server rightly claimed they are the best she’s ever had. Gorgeously battered and served with parmesan and chili salt, they are worth going to Giant just to have on their own. Next came our “mains,” an albacore tuna orzo for me and goat cheese, ricotta and English peas cappelletti for my daughter. Of course, we tried each other’s dishes and both were excellent. I enjoyed a seasonal spritz from the tempting cocktail menu with my meal. There’s a good selection of beers and wines available, too. After all that food, we were stuffed and ready to settle up but a friend at the restaurant kindly treated us to the crepes Suzette, which were mouthwateringly good. A superb, memorable meal in cozy, busy Giant, which also has a good size back patio for when the weather is fine.
