Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits
Bang Bang offers a biscuit-based savoury order alongside its pies, so the lunch plan can start small and add dessert separately. The authorized Square menu at the California Avenue location lists a chicken-sausage biscuit with white cheddar and peach-habanero jam. The shop’s ordering routine matters: order at the front counter before taking a seat, with indoor seating allocated first come, first served. Monday and Tuesday closures rule it out for the start of the working week.

Lardon
Lardon is the cured-meat sandwich choice in our Logan Square weekday lunch comparison. Its Fall 2026 lunch menu includes the Frenchie: house-cured ham, country pork pâté and brie in a baguette, with chips and pickles accompanying the deli and hot sandwiches. The posted 5% surcharge belongs in the food calculation. The café’s opening time is not the sandwich start time, and hot sandwiches finish earlier than deli sandwiches.
- On The Menu
- Frenchie USD 16, with ham, country pork pâté, brie, Dijon and cornichon mayonnaise. Sweet-potato bánh mì USD 16. Deli and hot sandwiches include kettle chips and cucumber-dill pickles.
- Good For
- A cured-meat baguette includes chips and pickles, with the posted 5% surcharge and distinct hot/deli cutoffs included.
- Plan Ahead
- Lunch starts at 11 a.m. Hot sandwiches run until 3:30 p.m. and deli sandwiches until 5 p.m. Use the lunch menu for this plan; Sunday brunch is a separate service. Official site links Resy for reservations; check service options for the date.
Frenchie USD 16 becomes USD 16.80 with the posted 5% restaurant surcharge, before tax and tip. The menu says the surcharge can be removed on request. Drinks, dessert and other orders are extra. Fall 2026 menu checked October 14, 2026.

Same Day Cafe
Same Day Cafe gives lunch two useful routes: a sandwich with the listed accompaniments, or the Triple, a choice of three sides or deli salads. Its current authorized Toast menu lists grilled cheese on rosemary bread with white cheddar and smoked gouda, accompanied by pickles and apple slaw. The menu also explicitly labels a vegan patty melt. This is the Kedzie Avenue choice in our Logan Square weekday lunch comparison; check the posted seasonal hours before meeting.
- On The Menu
- Grilled cheese USD 10; egg salad sandwich USD 12; vegan patty melt USD 15. Toast lists pickles and apple slaw with the grilled cheese and egg salad. Triple: three house-made sides or deli salads, USD 15.
- Good For
- Sandwiches include pickles and slaw, while the Triple allows three sides or deli salads; price and seasonal-hour caveats stay visible.
- Plan Ahead
- Use the 2651 N Kedzie address and confirm current seasonal hours. The official homepage labels its displayed daytime schedule Winter Hours; an evening menu link alone does not establish current evening service. Ask about particular dietary requirements directly.
Authorized online-order prices checked October 14, 2026. Confirm dine-in pricing; tax, tip, drinks, dessert and ordering fees are excluded.

Irazu
Irazu’s casado is a useful plate to compare when two diners want their own mains and the accompaniments included. The menu lists gallo pinto, sweet plantains, cabbage salad and an over-easy egg with the choice of protein. Chicken and skirt steak have separate prices; a veggie version is also listed, though its egg means the stated plate is not automatically vegan. Sandwiches offer a different starting order at the same Bucktown restaurant.
- On The Menu
- Chicken casado USD 24; skirt-steak casado USD 26; veggie casado USD 20. Chicken pepito USD 13 and steak pepito USD 14 on the posted menu; sandwich accompaniments differ from the casado.
- Good For
- Casado plates include rice and beans, plantains, cabbage salad and an egg, making the accompaniments part of the comparison.
- Plan Ahead
- Use 1865 N Milwaukee Avenue and the official linked SevenRooms reservation route. Catering hours do not establish dine-in service. Confirm ingredient modifications directly if a diner has dietary restrictions.
Two chicken casados total USD 48; one chicken and one skirt steak total USD 50. Food only, excluding drinks, dessert, tax, tip and other charges. Menu checked October 14, 2026.
