Reviews for Owen & Engine in Chicago, IL
So glad we stopped in here! Highly recommend a reservation so you don't have to wait, but it was well worth it. The fish and... chips were some of the best I've had and the short ribs were so flavorful. Great selection of draft beers and the garden partycocktail was fresh and light - perfect for a summer sunday afternoon! Read more
So happy this place is open again. Walk ins are limited to the bar space but it's worth making a reservation for a table. The... drink list is extensive, with great beers both on draft and in the can/bottle as well as a creative cocktail list. The food isamazing. Almost everything is made in house. The scotch egg is bursting with flavor and doesn't feel like a grease bomb in yourstomach. The burger is delicious, everything from the patty to the melt in your mouth onions to the bun compliment one anotherto create a wonderful arrangement of flavors. The cherry on top is the staff is so fun and pleasant to interact with that youfeel like you are a regular there, even when it's your first time. Read more
Definitely among the best restaurants you can find. Attention to detail and execution are among the elite. The Cocktails are... incredibly creative and memorable, scotch egg was perfectly jammy, The gravy in the Bangers and Mash is black magic-level good,and the burger is god-tier. I can’t make the judgement if this is “the best burger in chicago” since that’s a personaltake. It was perfectly executed and flavorful. You’ll need to try it out yourself. Worth a stop. Or many.

Food is quite delicious, and upscaled. The drink was so good I had three; strawberry mead. The meal ordered was the Pastrami... Smoke Salmon; first day on the menu and was a delightful reimagining of a smoked pastrami. Definitely recommend a stop for asolo date or group date. Expect to spend $$/$$$ depending on the drink and food. Read more

The place didn’t skip a best,congrats on reopening again and thanks for the same great service and experience you always have provided. Read more
I'm so happy they are back after 2 years! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The Burgers are still the best in the... city! As an introvert, this is the only drinking establishment that I regularly go to since the vibe is just right. Read more
Owen & Engine is back open! Their food was so good and worth the wait. You can tell they are working through some of the... challenges that come with being closed for nearly two years, but overall the staff was nice and the ambiance was great. We satat the bar and tried the Mission Trip cocktail, a draft beer, the soft pretzel (the cheese with it was AMAZING), and thevegetable korma - so good! It would be helpful to have a reservation as we walked in (around 9:40pm) and they had a 15+ minutewait and suggested we go to Maplewood Brewing (5 minute walk away) to wait, which we did. Read more
Only had time for one restaurant as we were passing through Chicago and we were so happy it was Owen & Engine! My wife had the... bangers & mash and I had the burger with cheese and bacon. We wound up sharing both because everything looked incredible. Thehouse banger, made of pork with the perfect amount of fennel, was amazing and the mashed potatoes were smooth, velvety, anddelicious. The burger was absolutely amazing...easily among the best I've ever had. The service and atmosphere were also great.Definitely check it out if you can! ????? Read more
