AMK Kitchen Bar’s website describes its concept as “classic American comfort food with a Bucktown twist.” I’m not entirely sure what a Bucktown twist is, but I suspect that it’s reflected in the exposed brick walls, garage-door front (open when the weather allows), whiskey bar, and extensive beer list. While everything seemed sort of generically hip, the space is warm (on a 90-degree day, quite literally) and welcoming, service is attentive, and the food as comforting as can be.
