Doc B’s Fresh Kitchen - Review - Magnificent Mile - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The “fresh casual” restaurant is about as formulaic as it gets these days, but Doc B’s does it well. It’s modern and pretty with a bit of an industrial vibe, complete with a menu comprised primarily of tasty health conscious dishes. So while you can get a very good salad, you can also get a burger or rich, cheesy artichoke dip. This location is below Nordstrom and the rest of the Shops at North Bridge, so you can expect to be surrounded by lots of tourists, and people with shopping addictions. And overall, Doc B’s is a good middle of the road option for River North - nicer and more of a real restaurant than the fast-casual chains nearby, but not as full- blown sceney and expensive as other places in the neighborhood. Food Rundown Housemade Guacamole Fresh and deicious guacamole with sweet potato chips. Don’t be afraid to ask for more chips. Baked Polenta Fries Our favorite appetizer. Thick-cut pieces of polenta with a bit of a crisp on the outside but creamy on the inside. The spicy tomato and pesto dipping sauces are excellent too. Kale Artichoke Dip Like spinach artichoke dip, but cooler, because it’s kale. Always reliable and good for sharing. Brussels Sprout Salad It’s fine, but generic. Served with a parmigiano reggiano vinaigrette. The #1 Tuna Salad Seared ahi tuna, avocado, mango, and ginger dressing over field greens. The mango is a nice touch and it’s our favorite salad overall. The #1 Tuna Sandwich Same thing as above but on a bun and with sliced apple instead of mango. The Homage Burger Burger with cheddar, pickle, white onion, and thousand island. Not bad if you want to be different from the rest of your friends eating salad. Wok Out Bowl The go-to if you aren’t sure what else to order. Basically build your own bowl with a rice, noodle, or quinoa base. We like to go with the sesame teriyaki chicken with veggies over brown rice." - Sam Faye
