Baumgart's Cafe @ Fairview — Restaurant in Fairview

I grew up going to the Baumgarts locations in Edgewater and Englewood and I was devastated when those locations closed. I was super excited that the Fairview location opened. I've now gotten takeout and dined in, and both were great experiences. The menu is very similar to the menu in Edgewater, and all of the old classics are there.

Their sesame chicken is still the best I have ever had. The food is fresh, tastes great, and the service is super friendly. They have also done a great job with the decor. It's clean, modern, and welcoming. I am looking forward to coming back...

Was excited for this to come back nearby since the Edgewater location closed, food is the exact same and good. But the service was EXTREMELY SLOW and the waiter kept forgetting things. They seemed understaffed and all over the place, I think they should have waited a bit longer to open.

And I also found a piece of plastic in my pad thai, hopefully there wasn’t any more that I didn’t realize while eating.

Disappointed, but hoping moving forward...

So happy this restaurant is back and BETTER than before!!! The sushi is so fresh and delicious, their crispy beef is incredible, and the Singapore noodles are bomb. Everything we had was amazing and even better than we remember. Prices are fair, the restaurant is CLEAN,...
