Definitely a place to try for breakfast or brunch for sure. They have lunch/dinner options as well but I haven't tried it yet. The grits and banana foster pancakes are crazy good.

Wasn't expecting such a great salad game from a pizza place, but they did not disappoint. I was looking for salads in the Loop and someone recommended Roots. Great, creative salads, and a giant make-your-own-salad list, too. And I love that they give you the tongs so that you can share (we got 2 salads and each had half of both).

Really good wings and cheeseburgers but $40 for a shot of Blantons is ridiculous. C’mon man.

This was our first time dining at Boleo. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was prepared and seasoned well. I had the pork shank, which was tender and delicious. My partner thought the shrimp entree was very good and would order it again. Our server Chase was excellent. We will definitely return!
