The Three Litrle Piggies sandwich was awesome!

Best Manhattan in Chicago and possibly the best cocktails too. Each cocktail costs about 8-9, or maybe more if you get the special one. The kicker though is that you are left with the shaker used and there is enough left inside to give you a full refill! The head bartender is the nicest guy. He embodies customer service. The food is great as well. I usually get the Three Little Pigs sandwich, which is a bacon, baked ham, and some other meat sandwich. It it delicious and guaranteed to satisfy the most voracious of appetites.

Good food and great service. Plus eating in the train car was very cool. Packed house when we came in but food still came out quickly and hot. Drinks were strong and good selection of choices. I used to cook pizza in a school bus and loved what they did with the train car. I will be back when I am in town next.

The Three Little Pigs sandwich is fantastic. I've had it 5 or so times and it hasn't killed me yet! Anthony Bourdain may have been a little over the top stating it's America's best sandwich but it's damn good.

Really unique setting for practically authentic Pisco sours and what Anthony Bourdain calls the Greatest Sandwich in America. We went on a snowy Saturday, only one other table was sat the entire time we were there. I suspect that’s not normal. There aren’t a ton of options for anyone who doesn’t eat red meat. The salmon was tasty. Service was great, I mean, we were the only ones there. Really yummy comfort food.

The food at silver palm is amazing! I always get the 3 little pigs sandwich. a carnivores dream with pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, gruyere cheeese and a fried egg. Drinks are great too. i like getting the roasted veggies on the side, a really good combo of roasted root veggies. Plus, the decor and service are awesome!

The idea of eating in a old train car, made me go there. The food was better than your average bar grub. French onion soup was spot on. The sammy portions are on the larger size, I ain't complaining. Our server was very attentive and pleasant.

I have yet to eat here but the atmosphere is just great old school chicago. The drinks were affordable and very well crafted. The pineapple gimlet was fantastic! Can't wait to come back and eat a Three Little Pigs!!
