Chicago Restaurants

[GBRulz]

I'm flying to Chicago this weekend to meet up with my sister, who is flying in from FL.

Been to the Windy City tons of times, but for whatever reason, could never find a good seafood place. I'm obviously not looking hard enough! Any suggestions on a good crab house / oyster bar?

What is your fav restaurant overall in this city?

Chicago isn't exactly known for it's seafood. I know there is someplace called Joe's seafood downtown. How good it is I don't know. I can only give you places on the east coast for the best seafood. Ruth Cris is very good in Chicago. Been there a few times. Kinda pricey but it's the best steak in town. Not sure what pizza place you are referring to but this place has the best pizza in Chicago as far as I am concerned:

Anyone else every notice that no matter what bar you go to in downtown Chicago that the tap beer is always in a 16 oz glass and it's $5 at EVERY bar for the cheap shit like Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light, etc.? Unless you want a "specialty" beer in the form of Leine's or Red Hook or Fat Tire, then it's $6-$8.

I would normally agree with you but I have frequented Giordanos in the Chicago area for some 35 years (and tried just about every other one). They just got bigger over the years with more locations. Uno Pizza is for tourists.

You'll have to travel to Oak Park to get the best Ribs:



Robinson's #1 Ribs

McCormick & Schmick's is pretty good for seafood in the Midwest. I'm trying to see if there is a Kincaid's in Chicago but their site is down. I think they may be a St Paul, MN only restaurant.

I disagree. Any rib place with a $5 lunch buffet is serving cat ribs. Smokey Bones has the best ribs I have ever had. Their BBQ sauce is second to none. Not sure if they are in Chicago but they are in Shaumburg. Can't wait for the tourist call on that one.

I've never been here, but it gets good reviews:



Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab
