"The Verdict: Most definitely worth the wait. In fact, this New American spot recently made our list of 25 Best Restaurants In Chicago. Limited hours. No reservations. An unpredictable menu. Warlord opened in May with little information beyond the above, which we normally consider red flags. But we can now tell you that the line out the door isit’s worth the wait. And since they're open until 2am, that wait can be a pretty long one. The menu changes everyday, which is both exciting—"This ramp pasta is incredible!"—and bittersweet—"Will I ever see these miso butter scallops again?" Warlord is playing hard to get, but that only makes us want this spot even more. " - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
