"Gretel is the sibling to Little Bad Wolf, a boisterous space in Logan Square good for groups. The signature burgers and french fried shrimp are here, as are a selection of baos and tacos." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
"Located in Logan Square, Gretel is owned by Sol Ashbach who reminisces about his father Phil, the original owner of Phil’s Last Stand." - Ximena N. Beltran Quan Kiu
"Gretel is from the team behind Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville, which you might know because of its incredible burger. And Gretel has become one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood for a casual dinner. The food is great: They also have a fantastic burger, along with shareable things like vegetable gyoza and pork belly nachos. But it’s also just a nice place to hang out for a few hours. It’s cozy and dark (seriously—the walls are painted black) and will immediately soothe your screen-fatigued eyes. Plus, it has a long drink menu and a wall of liquor bottles that necessitate the bartender using a rolling ladder like Belle in the library from Beauty and the Beast." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Open until 12am Sunday-Thursday, 1am Friday-Saturday, Gretel is from the team behind Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville (also on this guide) and has become one of our favorite spots in Logan Square for a late-night dinner. For one thing, the food is great. They also have a fantastic burger, along with shareable things like charcuterie, fried maitake, and pork belly nachos. But it’s also just a nice place to hang out for a few hours. It’s cozy and dark (seriously—the walls are painted black) and will immediately soothe your tired eyes. Plus, it has a long drink menu and a wall of liquor bottles that necessitate the bartender using a rolling ladder like Belle in the library from Beauty and the Beast." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Despite the fact that nothing about this Logan Square restaurant indicates coastal realness (and there’s no Happy Hour deal), the oysters here are delightful. You can choose a combination of East and West Coast, and they’ll arrive perfectly shucked without a trace of grit, ready to be slugged down. But sometimes, you’re not in the mood for a mouthful of ocean water. Luckily, Gretel has some fantastic oysters rockefeller—these baked beauties are topped with breadcrumbs and a mouthful of garlic." - veda kilaru
