Community Tavern Menu – Chicago, IL

Type : Restaurant

Location : Chicago, IL

Nestled in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago, Community is a new American restaurant owned and operated by husband and wife team, Joey & Brenna Beato. Our dream has always been to run our very own elevated ‘mom & pop’ restaurant in the neighborhood we call home. Chef Joey combines seasonal, local midwestern ingredients with pan-Asian influences. Community’s extensive beverage program complements Joey’s dishes with a diverse wine selection, creative cocktails and craft beer. Our team is small and tight-knit, feeling more like family than colleagues. This fosters an environment of sincere, warm hospitality that radiates throughout our walls. Community is truly a labor of love in more ways than one.

An elevated American menu from a husband-&-wife team served in a narrow, elegant space. Based on 601 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.8 stars. Price $$$

I drove for 40-minutes to get here right at 5 pm when they open the doors. When I got there at 4:55 people were waiting outside to dine in. I was favored with rock-star-parking right in front of their door and free because it was Sunday.

Not sure how friends discovered this place but it’s super cute and food was so good! Being Korean myself, I’m always skeptical to try Korean fusion but Community Tavern did it right! Server Peter was attentive and funny in his own sarcastic way. Here what we got:

As I dig into the burger, first thing I noticed that bun was one of the best bun on a burger, warm and soft texture, blends in perfectly with all the condiments and burger meat which you can taste the freshness. They use a little bit of fish sauce giving the burger an unique taste you won’t find anywhere else.

Always wanted to try this place after the rave about the burger. It was very good but not the best I’ve ever had. Still delicious though. The green papaya salad was also very good. Very flavorful. Love the vibe of the place. Great service.

Best burger on the Northwest side? I’ve been meaning to go to this place because there’s been so much hype around it in Portage Park and even the surrounding neighborhoods. The hype reached a fever pitch when it was ranked a top burger in the city by Timeout.

This is my new favorite Chicago spot. Amazing all around, the food was incredible, service was the best and the atmosphere is so cozy and beautiful. Zach was our server and he was so polite and helpful with ideas on the menu. We had a late reservation so we were there into closing time and felt terrible holding up the staff. They were so nice about it and we got to speak to most everyone there working. Will be back VERY soon, already planning the next trip. We live over an hour away in the burbs but that does not matter! Totally worth the drive. Mushroom dumplings are my new favorite dish!
