Cordelia is upscale enough for a family dinner, but still has the comfort of heading to your grandmother’s tchotchke-filled house for an after-school snack. The owners call their food “Midwest nice,” which basically means fancied up ‘90s-era favorites. To see this in action, order the White Castle-inspired burger box—you‘ll get a gigantic smashburger that can be torn apart into four smaller sliders topped with smoked cheddar, onion and neon green pickles marinated in Koolaid. Enjoy some live theater at the high tops in front of the kitchen as the chefs cheer “Big Bird!” every time a group orders an entire fried chicken.
