Endgrain

Their brunch is absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend the biscuit sandwiches - the fried chicken and pork belly biscuit sandwiches were amazing. Don't forget to pick up a donut as well - had the bacon butterscotch donut and loved it. However, I was pretty unimpressed by the coffee/espresso drinks and thought they were pretty watered down.

I stopped by for a quick breakfast on a Friday morning and everything was great. I ended up going for the biscuits and gravy which combines a buttery flaky biscuit with a rich gravy and crisp onion and fried kale for a nice touch of texture. I also got a couple of doughnuts to go but I have to admit the German Chocolate was the better of the two.

Coming in for brunch with a toddler, we weren't sure what to expect. Seeing there were other kids at this (relatively) early hour, we were relieved. The menu skews to more innovative than traditional, but the biscuits, and by extension the breakfast sandwiches, are the star here. They were also perfect to satiate a fussy child. While the pancakes/french toast were good, there are better options for the sweet brunch crowd. The bottom-less cup of coffee was certainly welcome. All in all, a great option for brunch in Roscoe Village.

Endgrain is a great addition to the Northcenter neighborhood. Set on a corner, its interior is a mix of low-slung chairs and tables on one side, and a bar on the other side. We went for brunch, and were delighted to see biscuit sandwiches. The pork belly on my sandwich was delicious, but overall the entree was missing a crisp addition (carrot? just blanched kale?). An appetizer of roasted potatoes and cheese was divine. Our server was very friendly and accommodating, and food came out quickly (surprising for a Saturday morning) I would definitely check this place out again, possibly for drinks.

I came here early one Saturday morning for a coffee and a donut, and I'm glad I got there when I did. The donuts are fantastic, but don't hang around all day. The interior had a cool rustic vibe, but I was quickly reminded of the atmosphere when a stroller gave me a flat tire. Nice little spot to walk to on the weekend and pick up some guilty treats.

I visited Endgrain for brunch today and really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. It's a neighborhood restaurant in Roscoe Village with great quality food. I had the fried chicken biscuit sandwich, which came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. The biscuit was flaky and delicious, and not too greasy or heavy. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The trout biscuit sandwich did not sound good from the menu description, but it was surprisingly good with a nice balance of flavors - they had a slaw on the sandwich that added a unique touch of to the flavor profile. My only complaint is the portion sizes - they are much smaller than I would have liked. I didn't leave hungry, but I definitely could have eaten more - probably good I didn't though because I'm sure that the biscuit sandwiches are not low-calorie meals. Not to mention that I had the amazing gourmet donuts, so I probably didn't need a larger portion size…but it was so tasty that I wanted more... They are known for their gourmet donuts, so I tried the vanilla bourbon donut and also tasted the german chocolate "dough-skit" which is like a doughnut/biscuit hybrid. (I am loving the hybrid desserts, by the way. First the cronut (croissant/donut) and now the "dough-skit" - doughnut/biscuit). The dough-skit could have used some pecans to really make the german chocolate effect come to life, but they were very good. The other thing I liked is that it was easy to get in there on a Saturday morning. I called at 11:30 am and made a brunch reservation for noon, and we were seated as soon as we arrived. The restaurant had a good amount of people - not too crowded, but crowded enough to make you feel comfortable that the food tastes good. If I were in the area, I would definitely go back.

delicious coffee and donuts. Great place for brunch and very kid friendly. limited menu, appropriate portions. loved it!

Visited Endgrain on their first day open. I had the pork belly sandwich, my companions had the pork and kimchi pie and we all shared each of Enoch's Doughnuts on offer. The butterscotch bacon doughnut was our favorite! The biscuit for the pork belly sandwich tasted like it was made out of butter and love, which is a very good thing for me. When I took a bite, the soft egg yolk ran and made it even more lovely. I'm very much looking forward to returning!
