Our verdict
Creepies is a West Loop neighborhood bistro by David and Anna Posey, with Tayler Ploshehanski leading the kitchen. Its menu puts Chicago touches beside French bistro staples, from tavern-style tarte flambé to Parisian gnocchi.

The menu
What to order
- Parisian gnocchi
- Brie gougères
- Roast chicken
- Tarte flambée
On West Randolph Street, Creepies makes the French-Midwestern bistro idea specific. David and Anna Posey opened the restaurant at 1360 W. Randolph, with Tayler Ploshehanski as chef de cuisine. The name began as an inside joke between the Poseys; the cooking is more direct than the name suggests.
A bistro menu with Chicago inflections
The current dinner menu lists tavern-style tarte flambé beside brie gougères, leeks vinaigrette and Parisian gnocchi with Swiss cheese, ham and egg yolk. Corn crepe with chanterelles and roasted chicken with liver and wine sauce show the menu moving between seasonal Midwestern ingredients and French bistro structure. Lunch has a separate list, including croque monsieur, seafood vol-au-vent and steak au poivre. Dishes can change with the menu.
Plan the visit
Creepies is in the West Loop at 1360 W. Randolph Street. The restaurant links reservations through OpenTable and lists Tuesday and Wednesday as closed. Its website links both lunch and dinner menus, but its two posted hours blocks differ on lunch service; check the reservation calendar for the date and meal you have in mind.
