Was Brian A. Becker at Frontier a mag?
We’ve been here a couple of times. Both times the food was great. Service was great. We were in early evening so it was quiet and not too busy. Bourbon chicken is great. You’ll want to get a gallon of the sauce to go but you can’t. Lamb burger was also very good. And the fries are tasty too. View all feedback.

The service was unfortunately very very poor, yet our 3 person group had a 20% tip added without any opportunity to adjust. The duck was not good burgers were good. View all feedback.

We made reservations for Frontier Chicago before heading to the Salt Shed for a show. The food was excellent, the drinks were top notch, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. We can’t wait to go back again! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great vibes, great fresh food. Good customer service. Will come again. The outside dining area is beautiful
Great Saint's game day vibe and menu! Will definitely come back our next visit to Chicago.
I have been looking forward to coming to this place for about a year . I was not disappointed ! Food was great , service cordial and quick . We moved to the bar after our meal and the bartender was paying attention to us but letting us enjoy the Saints game and our drinks . Would absolutely come again !
Food good and service was great.  will be back!

I experienced the Valentine's Day multi-course meal at the restaurant. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, likely due to being short-staffed. The food was delicious, but it took us 45 minutes to receive our appetizer. The drinks were fantastic, and the bartenders were friendly. The portion sizes were generous. However, we found the reservation process through Tock to be confusing. We had expected a different experience overall. When I made the initial reservation, we purchased cocktail tickets for $20, but I don’t believe those were applied to our final bill. Tock also allowed us to select two main dishes, but…
Food and drinks were delicious, especially the chicken sandwich and grey goose watermelon lemonade. However, the service was poor.
It have a nice vibe when first come in but when you order your food can’t modify your food if you allergic to anything you can’t take it off that’s not good at all.
NOM! What a delight! It's wonderfully cozy for winter, with an impressive drink menu and sides that truly stand out. I will definitely be back!
Really great food enjoyed the unique food and decor. Only reason for a 4 is we went on a Friday and they seemed very overwhelmed and it wasn't that busy. I think its just the times we are in but I'll differently return

Food was absolutely phenomenal! Cool atmosphere too. Split the trio of meats. SO good!
Attended a smoke session hosted at Frontier, and while the concept was cool, the execution left much to be desired. The idea of a smoke session intrigued me, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. One major drawback was the temperature of the food – it arrived cold, which was disappointing. The untimely manner in which the items were brought out further impacted the overall enjoyment. The lack of synchronization made it challenging to fully savor each dish. While the idea of a smoke session is innovative, Frontier needs to address the execution to make it a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for patrons.
WOW! I am like absolutely shocked how amazing this place was! First off my family and I loved the decor and its rustic feel. We have never dined here before so we asked our server (noel) on the rundown. First she is super friendly, warm, and treated my son (3yrold) like he was hers. She knew how to treat a toddler and what to order for him and that made our dinner SO much more relaxing. I ordered the steak and my wife the waygu burger and WOW- Its the best one in the city. Noel SOLD us on the aoli that comes with the meal (we are not an aoli couple) but SHEESH it was so good we took one to go! Frontier is a hidden gem and I cant wait to come on a sunday for a NFL Saints game (per a hint from our server and bartender Joel). Love the staff (southern hospitality) and the well flavored hearty foods.
Came here for the gator dinner and it was a 10/10 experience! I’ve never had gator before and we got to try gator loin, gator sausage, and a whole gator! Super tender and not chewy. Cooked very well. And just an overall amazing dinner!
My recent dining experience at this restaurant was an unforgettable journey of flavors. I indulged in a variety of dishes, including their fried chicken sandwich, smoked ribs, mac n cheese, and fries. The highlight, without a doubt, was the fried chicken sandwich – the best I've ever had. Its taste alone justifies a return visit, not to mention the creamy delight of their mac n cheese. This restaurant earns a well-deserved 10/10 from me, and I enthusiastically recommend it to fellow food enthusiasts.

Dope set-up here and got a chance to try the Wagyu Ribs they were decent wish they had a little more meat on them but still good 7.9. Normally, I don't do sweets but I got their huge chocolate cake. I couldn't finish it at all, had to get it to go. 8.3. Definitely will hit this spot again the menu is very unique with all its different options.
My boyfriend and I have been eager to try this place, we would always pass by and thought the outside patio looked super cool. We went last night and ordered the lamb empanadas, wagyu ribs, burger with fries, and burnt end mac and cheese. The empanadas were very good! However, everything else was extremely salty, to the point where even my boyfriend couldn’t finish his meal because of it. It is a shame because the flavor of the food was really good, it was just WAY too salty to fully enjoy. I had the wagyu ribs which, while slightly less salty, were very chewy and not what I was expecting. Overall, the atmosphere and service were good, but we probably will not be back for food.
Absolutely beautiful. The courtyard is so pretty. The mac and cheese was incredible. I had the beef ribs and they were good but not my favorite ever. Service was good too!Food: 4/5
The service was unfortunately very very poor, yet our 3 person group had a 20% tip added without any opportunity to adjust. The duck was not good burgers were good.
We had the Elk shank, brisket mac n cheese and the patty melt. Meat was tender and flavorful but the star was the burnt ends mac n cheese, it was phenomenal. Looking forward to coming back. The Chef and the menu is worth the hype.Food: 5/5

Went to Frontier for our book club with a party of 10. Everyone loved the restaurant, the service and the food. I have never had a water buffalo burger before and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. There are even choices for vegetarians. The appetizers, especially the date, bacon and cheese skewers were a major hit. Parking is the only issue with the location. Glad we found it and I will be back.
Stopped in for brunch on Sunday and had an amazing meal. The wild boar hash was fantastic. The **** mary's were expensive, but tasty
Great menu but I have to say my server, Kennedy, was phenomenal!!! She made a simple, well prepared and cooked meal fantastic!! She was very attentive and made the dining experience truly exceptional. I would go back just to have her as a server
My friend and I visited Frontier on Thursday evening to celebrate his birthday! I chose this place because it's nothing super expensive, but still...
While the service is great and the menu is different the food just isn't that great. We got the fried chicken sandwich, duck tacos, and ahi tuna sandwich. The fried chicken sandwich is boring in flavor and the breading taste unseasoned. The ahi tuna sandwich is just kind of weird way to eat seared tune. The duck tacos were also strange. It feels as if the Fronteir is trying to be different, but could use to focus on the fact they serve game meat instead of poor sandwich creation and weird topping combinations.
