Bluestone is a Chicago-style restaurant in Evanston that offers homestyle cooking in a warm and welcoming environment. Owner John, whose obsession with golf led to the more than 250 pin flags decorating the restaurant, opened Bluestone after transitioning from commercial film production. His goal was to create a locale that was filled with friendliness and familiar faces, all while serving a variety of menu options with a hometown feel. Guests can enjoy favorites like crab cakes, or branch out and discover a new one from their wrap, soup, quesadilla or burger menus. Don't forget to try homemade specialties such as the turkey or black bean burgers, or the Bluestone signature smoked wings. There are also several thin-crust pizza options, like the pesto or BBQ chicken offerings. Whether you're just passing through or a long-time resident, Bluestone, at the corner of Central St. and Prairie Ave., is everyone's home away from home.

Great service. Big portions with lots to choose from on the menu, no matter what you’re feeling like. Love the kale and quinoa salad.

The restaurant was very busy, but our server was lovely. They were out of fish and chips (the special that day) st 7 p.m.; that was disappointing as several in our party were going to order. Excellent happy hour deals!

Bluestone was fine, though loud. The food was good, pretty much what you’d expect from bar food. My drink was terribly weak and they got one of our orders wrong, but I’d still probably go back for a burger and a beer.
