"Blue Door really wants you to know you’re eating in the Midwest. Lots of plants and little watering cans make the interior feel like a farmhouse, which fits with the menu of things like cheese curds, roasted chicken, and fresh-baked cookies. If you’re in the mood for a casual and affordable comfort food meal, come here. You won’t even have to churn your own butter to save money." - josh barnett, adrian kane
"Tomato soup can often be seen as “kid’s food”, especially when it’s accompanied by its best friend, grilled cheese. But this power couple deserves respect, and Blue Door Farm Stand in Lincoln Park recognizes this fact. Every order of the cheddar and swiss sandwich comes fully equipped with a cup of their creamy tomato basil soup. It’s perfect for dunking, but it’s also rich enough to fly solo—feel free to upgrade from a cup to a bowl for a standalone dish." - josh barnett, john ringor
"After your 30th restaurant suggestion gets vetoed, you might say screw it, and decide it’s easier to just go home. Go to Blue Door Farm Stand instead, which has better versions of food you can make yourself like salads and sandwiches, and things you probably shouldn’t like crab cakes and fried cheese curds. You won’t have trouble getting a table right away, and whatever you order will definitely be better than your turkey sandwich with stale bread." - josh barnett
"This Lincoln Park spot has a Midwestern farmhouse theme, and fittingly, the interior is decorated with plants and little watering cans. The menu has nutritious-sounding things like roasted chicken, salmon, and a very good brussels sprout and kale salad. Basically everything will remind you that Chicago is pretty close to actual farms. But there are also fried cheese curds, because these are Midwestern farms we’re talking about." - adrian kane
"Imagine the restaurant equivalent of a Smuckers commercial. That’s the atmosphere at Blue Door Farm Stand in Lincoln Park. Lots of plants and little watering cans make the interior feel like a farmhouse, and a large skylight provides enough sunlight so you know the plants aren’t in imminent danger. The decor fits with the Midwestern food; you’ll find stuff like fried chicken sliders (with some excellent pimento cheese), cheese curds, and seasonal vegetable dishes. If you’re in the mood for all-American comfort food, but don’t want to actually drive a tractor all day, this is the spot." - adrian kane
