The Publican,

837 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607, United States

"I went to the publican for restaurant week and I can't believe it was my first time there! The dishes were delicious and unique and I love how they also show where the menu items are sourced from. Each item has the location it's sourced from right on the menu which is awesome. I can't wait to come back again!!"

"Incredible food, great service, and great location. The bathrooms are a little weird (lack of privacy) but not terrible. The bacon was the star of the show. I love bacon but the presentation here was unexpected in the best way possible. It’s thick, tender, fatty, and so full of flavor. I would come back just for the bacon. I also loved the shrimp and grits. These grits are creamy and decadent, so buttery and savory I could eat them plain but the shrimp and sauce do add a lovely complement."

"This is a family style restaurant and the food portion is big. We apparently ordered too much. But the food quality is pretty good. Love the sprouts and whole fish fry."

"An excellent spot for dinner. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's worth the stretch. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was really friendly. I highly recommend the pork chop. It was cooked perfectly and was tender and delicious, and the portion size was quite generous. The serrano ham and bread plate was also quite a treat. They make their own bread and it is very good. Perfectly crusty on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside. And the beef fat fries shouldn't be missed. This place knows how to do pork."
