CHICAGO — While the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. has more than 550 reviews on Yelp, Lincoln Square's tribute to the president and Illinois lawyer has just one.

But what the Yelp page for Honest Abe's Chicago statue lacks in quantity, it makes up for in enthusiasm.

This guy really wants you to love this statue.

In this edition of Chicago, Reviewed, we look at the "Lincoln Statue" at Lawrence and Western, which earned 5 out of 5 stars from one review.

All reviews credited to Yelp.

Casey M.'s screed has been listed in "Woohoo! Review Of The Day!" Buckle up, everybody.

Good facts. Solid. Starting off well.

A protégé of the Mount Rushmore sculptor, eh? You've got my attention.

That marble wordplay is genius.

It's quite likely, given that they were both written in mid-2013, that DNAinfo Chicago talked to the very Statue of Liberty man this Yelp reviewer mentions.

How could a stroll be complete without basking in a statue?

Chicagoans should really be adding Abraham Lincoln facts to their small talk rotation of the CTA and the weather.

And he took photos, so you can bask in the greatness of this statue from the comfort of your own home and think about freedom.

This is truly an epic Yelp review.

But wait!

There's a bonus review! It's not officially sanctioned by Yelp, and hidden on the "Lincoln Statue" page.

This is mostly a review of a Walgreens and signs about pigeons. Not quite as good as Casey M.'s.
