Meatloaf

It's getting to be meatloaf weather and the Chow Poodle has requested this cold weather staple. Normally, I'd make it myself, but my schedule is crazy right now and I just don't have the time to cook today.

I'm looking for recommendations of who serves a good meatloaf dinner.

I recently had the meatloaf dinner at the Daily Bar and Grill. It definitely scratched the itch for me. I especially enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes that accompanied the meatloaf.

Four Moons Tavern could be an option for you...

Haven't had it this year but did a couple of times last Fall into Winter and its better than most renditions. Comes with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn for around $11.

None will ever match my Mom's so I rarely order it when eating out, but in my neighborhood (West Lakeview) the most serviceable options are at Harmony Grill and Cullen's.

Would love a report back in the event that you find a really transcendent version worth seeking out.

Ha, well I know it's not much of an viable option for you, but I'm pretty proud of our "Irish Meatloaf" and we happen to host it on Wednesdays! Of course there is a bit of a drive involved...

I'll definitely report back. I know what you mean about not finding one to match homemade I'm a little embarrassed to be going out for meatloaf, since it's something that can be done so well at home. It's just a lack of time that is causing me to look elsewhere.

I love meatloaf!
The bacon wrapped meatloaf at Uncommonground is fantastic! Both Lakeview and Lakeview locations have it.

d'oh. I meant to say the Lakeview and Rogers Park locations obviously.

I've always liked it at the Country House. They have it every Monday.

There are other locations

Haven't had it in a while, but I used to like Moons or Mannys for this.

It's been a while for me too but I enjoy Moon's meatloaf dinner. Definitely nothing fancy. It's everything a diner-style meatloaf plate should be, nothing more, nothing less. And like Ohio House, at Moon's corn is always in season.

Dang! That looks pretty good right now.

So, I never reported back on my meatloaf quest. We ended up going to L.Woods, but it surprisingly turned out that they didn't have meatloaf on the menu. I ended up getting the daily special of breaded pork tenderloin, which was quite tasty. I decided to make meatloaf at home a couple days later to sooth our aching meatloaf Jones.

L. Woods has added meatloaf as a special on Mondays. Their twist involves barbecue turkey (ground), and the meatloaf expert in my family gave it a big thumbs up. Served with mashed potatoes and corn
