Girl & The Goat

Super GemWest Loop · American/Gastro Community-sourced, unverified
📍 809 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607

Stephanie Izard opened Girl & the Goat in 2010 as one of the first restaurants on what became Randolph Street's restaurant row, and more than a decade later it still books out weeks ahead.

Roasted Pig Face -- cheek, snout and tongue rolled like a porchetta with a sunny-side egg -- the best-seller since 2010, plus Michelin Bib Gourmand (2024-2025) and OpenTable Icons (2024-2026) recognition.

The roasted pig face is the dish people bring up unprompted — cheek, snout, and tongue rolled like a porchetta, finished in the wood oven, topped with a sunny-side egg — and it remains the signature order even as the seasonal menu around it keeps shifting. Everything here is built for a table sharing plates, not one person ordering an entree, and the room leans into it: loud, warm, genuinely fun rather than fine-dining formal despite a James Beard nomination on the wall.

A Top Chef win, a James Beard Best Chef award, a Michelin Bib Gourmand (2024-2025) and OpenTable's Icons award multiple years running (2024-2026) back up a menu that still treats 'make your whole mouth happy' as an actual philosophy rather than a tagline. The dining room takes reservations well in advance (OpenTable); the bar is walk-in only, or try the chef's counter for a walk-up tasting seat.
