What People Are Saying About The Fat Shallot:
My family loves the Fat Shallot
(both the Evanston and Gillson Beach locations)! The food is delicious, the service always has a smile and the margs and ice cream at the beach make me think I'm on vacation. It is one of the gems of the North Shore community.

This is not the first time we have we enjoyed the e food and atmosphere at the Fat Shallot and it won’t be the last. We have dined inside and out and both Crystal & Trevor took great care of us. The food is fresh and excellent. We have consistently ordered their cheese curds which are always good but I had their turkey sandwich on a pretzel roll this time and it was outstanding! My wife had their burger (a role reversal) and it was delicious without a single drop of grease. If you have friends in the area you can leave them the gift of a free drink on their board in the back room and that is always a fun surprise. 10/10 and has become one of our local favorites.
Delish and so fun! Love that you can ride your bike grab a family dinner and head home. Or end your night by chilling on the patio with friends. Service is awesome, food is great, and location is easy! Can’t beat Central St in Evanston!!
I've made multiple stops here and have tried a few different sandwiches, but the BLT is a favorite. Not sure if potato salad is still on the menu but remember it being yummy as well. Bonus points for outdoor seating!
Great food, and they always follow any special instructions. Try this place!
Favs: tomato soup, unusually good turkey sandwich with cukes, avocado and basil cooling, burger and frozen margaritas.
Grace and the entire Fat Shallot team were a delight to work with. We had the Fat Shallot food truck cater our wedding welcome reception. We chose the “Unlimited” option which included three sliders (we chose buffalo chicken, truffle BLT, and grilled cheese) and two sides (truffle fries, and traditional fries) and every option was delicious. There was more than enough food for all of our 110 guests and there were even leftovers. Leading up to the event, Grace and her team accommodated all dietary restrictions and even ensured all options could be done in a gluten free format. We would 10000% recommend the Fat Shallot food truck for any catering event.
Awesome Buffalo Chicken sandwich! I look forward to a return trip!
I had the hot chicken sandwich with truffle fries. Absolutely delish and the sandwich is HUGE, crispy and tangy. The fries were very tasty and the sauce was perfect for dipping. Very cozy atmosphere with inside and outside seating. Friendly staff. The menu is not overpowering which I appreciated. Six sandwiches on the menu from what I recall which I think is a smart move.
I got to attend a graduation party at The Fat Shallot and it was really nice. The catered food made by the restaurant was good. I had the fries and chicken tenders. All were very tasty. There were also burgers I didn't have one but everyone that had a burger or chicken sandwich said they were good and tasty. The open bar was nice the Tito's was smooth and I had a good time. There was a DJ and enough room on the bar floor for dancing and there was a television with sports on for the sports watchers. I also saw patio outdoors seating out back. They had two restrooms and they appeared clean for patrons. The waitstaff and bartender were all friendly and just very nice.
Still love this place. We come here for trivia almost every time they have it. Vibes are always immaculate. We always run into the owner and his family, and he's super nice. The patio is incredible.
Last night we lost (after winning the previous time, but it's good to be humbled on occasion lol). But, I thoroughly enjoyed my free grilled cheese sandwich that I won as our previous trivia night prize. Sandwiches really are their specialty. Perfectly greasy, and the caramlized onions and spinach really elevated it. Another person in our group had the turkey on a pretzel bun and said it was amazing.
Also, a great range of drink options. Always a good time, and I'm excited to come to one of their mahjong gatherings, since I recently learned how to play.

Amazing tastes! Ginger Lemonade -- yes!!
Great burgers, chicken fingers, fries, and salad. We went here with the kiddos before heading out to the park. Everything was delicious, friendly atmosphere, and I love that it's not a big name chain.
I love the casual atmosphere, friendly service and delicious, elevated simple foods.
Stopped in for lunch on a whim. The service was friendly, attentive, and patient. Focused menu and very well curated selection of beers. I ordered the truffle BLT and the ingredients were fresh, with generous bacon and the right amount of truffle flavor. The back patio is a true oasis in Evanston. I am looking forward to returning!
