“ Loved having bottomless brunch at Bandit's! Our server was so awesome and so patient with us as the mimosas added up! We really enjoyed our food and drinks. It's a great atmosphere. I'd recommend making a reservation because they do get busy! ”
“ We went for Brunch, and loved the eclectic decor and vibe. I ordered the Short rib Benedict with the lemon hollandaise on the side(wasn't sure I'd like the lemon)and it wonderful!! I did like the hollandaise as well, but did like that I could control the amount on the dish. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly done, this meal was the best that I had during our visit to Chicago! Anthony, our server was absolutely amazing and made our time there and experience perfect!! Will definitely be making this a must do when I come back to Chicago(maybe less mimosas though ) ”
“ Bandit is always a great spot for a fun and delicious brunch! I stopped in to take advantage of the bottomless mimosas and ended up ordering the cinnamon rolls and avocado toast--both were amazing! Just a heads-up, the cinnamon roll order comes with two huge cinnamon rolls, which was an unexpected but very welcome surprise. The atmosphere is lively, the service is great, and the food never disappoints. ”
“ Bandit is lively with their throwback 2000s music. I would come back for drinks but would skip the food. I came here with 4 friends on New Year's Day because they were one of the few spots opened. Throughout the night, it was difficult to find our server - a good amount of tables were occupied but it wasn't super busy. We ordered - bandit special - would recommend sharing with 2-3 people - shrimp tacos - kind of plain and the tortilla was on the drier side - Nashville hot chicken - my friends enjoyed this. It's not that spicy ”
“ Spacious 2 levels bar/restaurant with a fun vibe. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and went up to the 2nd level which had a DJ. Ordered some tequila shots from a very nice bartender. He was attentive and gave us suggestions on food options. We ordered the disco waffle fries which had bulgogi, cheese and kimchi. Crunchy fries and tender bulgogi which makes an umami and tasty dish starter. My friend and I definitely enjoyed the music, food and vibe at Bandit and felt very welcoming. ”
“ Me & the girls stopped by for happy hour after work. Got the spicy marg and if hit!! The disco waffle fries were bomb and the short rib on top was delicious. Have been here a few times but this was the best. Will be back for sure! ”
“ I've been to bandit once before for drinks with friends, and was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop in for a quick bite. They were surprisingly busy given the rain & the bears were playing, but great atmosphere. The bartender was very kind and pretty attentive given how many people she was waiting on. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was amazing. There's a spicy sauce on top and it comes with smaller pieces of chopped cabbage, pickled onion, jalapeno, pico de gallo, and the guac inside is amazing. I really liked how the potatoes and chorizo go together as well. Great food & drink menu, and the brunch runs from 10am-3pm. I think that's a good time frame, and is perfect if you want to watch the game or chill with the girls/guys before an event. Highly recommend! ”
