The Marq

Super GemThe Loop · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 60 W Adams St, Chicago, IL 60603

The Marq occupies real estate inside the landmark Marquette Building, which means the sidewalk cafe seating looks directly across at Alexander Calder's 'Flamingo' sculpture in Federal Plaza — a view most Loop lunch spots simply can't offer.

$$
The Marq sliders earned a spot on round-ups of the Loop's best burgers, served at sidewalk-cafe tables with a direct view of Alexander Calder's 'Flamingo' sculpture across the street.

The restaurant runs a genuinely rare schedule for a sit-down Loop concept, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner across a single day's crowd of theater-goers, lawyers, accountants, and tourists alike. The Marq sliders are the headline order, mini burgers that earned the restaurant a spot on round-ups of the Loop's best burgers right alongside Bistro Monadnock, The Ives, and Francois Frankie — a genuinely crowded category this restaurant holds its own in.

A 4.7 rating across 776 reviews is a serious number for any restaurant, let alone one serving three different dayparts to three very different crowds. One Reddit commenter specifically flagged it as an oversight on a 'best Loop burgers' list, and the restaurant's own cocktail program was apparently impressive enough that the critic stopped by on the strength of that recommendation alone.
