How We Started

What began as a love for bold, flavorful food has grown into two neighborhood favorites in Evanston and Winnetka. Stacked & Folded started with a simple idea: to make everyday dining exciting again. From our first handcrafted sandwiches to the creative tacos and burgers that locals crave today, we've stayed true to one goal—bringing people together over food that feels both familiar and fresh.

Our Kitchen Philosophy

At Stacked & Folded, we believe great food starts with great ingredients. Every dish is made from scratch with locally sourced produce, premium proteins, and house-made sauces that showcase the best of Illinois flavors. Whether you're sitting down for a full meal in our Evanston dining room or enjoying a quick bite in Winnetka, you'll taste our commitment to honest cooking and creative combinations in every plate.

Community & Local Partners

We're proud to call Evanston and Winnetka home—and even prouder to serve the communities that support us. From partnering with local vendors like 3D Falafel to participating in events such as the Taste of Evanston and Winnetka Music Festival, Stacked & Folded is rooted in local flavor. Our kitchen isn't just a place to eat—it's a hub where good food, good people, and community pride come together.
