Juicy meat (pork, chicken, brisket, ribs), a honky-tonk vibe, and beer on tap. The perfect place to grab a bite in Wicker Park.

House-made pastas, wood burning pizzas (black truffles, New York strip), stuffed calzones, apps, and tasty wine woo at this trendy neighborhood spot.

You’d be a fool not to pick up a bite from this sweet spot. At CF, everything is made from scratch: Moroccan barbecue chicken, lentil feta salad, salads, sandwiches, and house-made sorbets. Specialty goods are also available.
