Krishna Shrinivas: Love the corn chowder here. As well as the tres quesos molletes.
Brad: The poblano corn chowder was excellent. Sadly, the Cubano was just a bit to aggressively smoked. Next time, I will get a different torta.
Cristina González Alcalá: Tortas took a while & fillings were barely lukewarm. Flavors ok. Corn chowder was silky w plenty of poblano flavor. Mango lime & raspberry nopal aguas were tart & refreshing. Mex inspired not Mex.

Mark J. Carter: Try the toasted jalapeño corn chowder for something different!
Therese Murray: Great bar, great dining room and service. The bone in ribeye is the way to go. Also a fantastic wine list with a great selection of wine by the glass.
Time Out Chicago: Rosebud shows restraint with its simple inch-thick patty layered with two slightly charred slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickles, all bookended with a pretzel bun. Read more.
