Master Critic Review
Falcon's Handcrafted Sandwiches
8.1
A family-run Ravenswood shop that treats sandwiches like full plates—hot, built-to-order, and backed by sturdy sides. The move is to lean into their fried chicken or cheesesteak-style options, then let the fries do the supporting work instead of stacking extra apps.
