The Old Plank

The Old Plank Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant & décor: Taking its name from what Chicagoans used to call the 2700th block of Milwaukee Avenue – Northwest Plank Road – this Logan Square sports bar feels anything but old. Garage-style doors invite locals into the airy space built for catching the game and throwing back a few cold ones. High-top tables, secluded booths and a back room provide plenty of seating. Local DJs amp up the scene on weekends.

Likes: Budget-friendly tacos.
Dislikes: None.

Food & Drinks: Executive chef Jesus Castillo and chef de cuisine Juan Ramirez of Saba Italian Bar + Kitchen team up for this Tex Mex spot. House signatures are definitely the corn and flour tortilla tacos dressed with ingredients such as carnitas, tempura fish and fried portobello. Sandwiches favor meat lovers, with standouts like pulled pork and brisket heaped on Texas toast. Agave- and whiskey-driven cocktails and draft beers star on the cocktail menu.
