If you don't have The Modern Cafe in your regular rotation you're missing out. If you aren't enjoying their delightful happy hour you're missing out. If you aren't overwhelmed by their great selection of draft (and bottle) beer - that Dean continually updates - you're missing out. And believe me, if you've only come to drink here? Well my friend, you are REALLY. Missing out!! You're not the kind of Yelper who wants to miss out are you? Then get here!
Ok, the beer selection is top notch. Dean is among the nicest owners you'll ever meet. But the food here is absolutely amazing. Irene works magic in that kitchen. Sure, it's bar food and sandwiches. But saying that does a disservice to what comes out of that kitchen. It's far better than that. In fact, the sandwiches The Modern entered into the annual"best sandwich on the north side" competition came in FIRST place the last two years. And maybe the year before that. And they beat some pretty stiff competition. And I can tell you from first hand experience that they deserved the win!
So go ahead. Don't just take my word for it. Try it yourself. Maybe you'll get hooked on the Greek cheesesteak. Or maybe you'll find nirvana in one of the other tempting delights. Have a beer. Order a sandwich. I'll meet you there next time.....
