Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Old Town, Chicago

Stephen Q. • March 11, 2018Great cheeseburger house style with bacon and pickle. Fries are crispy and thick cut. Service was friendly and quick.

Kim M. • August 18, 2018The Gooey Butter Cake is to die for and those homemade waffle cones can be found nowhere. Loved it.

Eater • November 17, 2015Many items are named after friends, saying spending time with your favorite pizza is as rewarding as spending time with a lovable pet. Like Josh: pulled pork, pineapples, jalapeños and barbecue sauce.

Jodi E. • July 17, 2013The Insalata Ai Frutti Di Mare is AMAZING! Fresh steamed calamari and shrimp (I did not include the mussels or clams) over salad with citrus vinaigrette.

Kevin M. • August 21, 2018In the spirit of Chef Bourdain (who filmed here), this is a local dive. Art paintings by the owner are awesome as you sip whatever you desire at the bar. This is a story telling/story sharing venue.

Joanna F. • November 30, 2015Lovely legit French bakery. Grab a chocolate croissant and a slice of Quiche Lorraine for a sweet/savory balanced breakfast.

Jessica S. • January 14, 2016The food and drink selection was fantastic. Their salmon in Thai butter sauce was delicious! Also the ambiance is really great.

Gareth J. • August 10, 2014Relaxed ambiance, great staff, decent variety of wine as well as beer. The food is incredibly underrated.

Eli M. • December 7, 2020Empanadas, empadas, and dark matter coffee!

Kirk T. • September 1, 2013Good food and phone cards and accessories above a Mosque! Yes, this cafeteria boasts a Mosque so you can face Mecca and worship before or after a plate of Indian/Paki food. The lentils were delish.

Preston K. • October 5, 2019Cool rooftop with a lot of games. TVs everywhere, perfect for watching football.

Chad C. • March 14, 2015What a gem. The weekend piano is really nice for the ambiance. It's not your typical Old Town stop. Traditional Italian. Calamari alla griglia was nice and tender as were the sausage and peppers.

Matt C. • August 21, 2016Great burgers and they don't charge extra for bison patties. The shrimp tacos are really good as well.

Ed J. • January 19, 2013Crouching tuna hidden crab is exceptional. Try the Tasmanian salmon special. Also great!

Elizabeth B. • May 20, 2018Delicious spot to get truffles to take home

Josh W. • August 31, 2014My 2nd time at Kanela. First time, I had the chorizo dish and didn't think much of it. Today, Kanela showed promise with their delicious spicy feta omelet and house made chicken sausage.

Jason M. • May 15, 2019The best pizza in Chicago. Definitely would come again and again. The homemade sausage is incredible.

ISC C. • July 3, 2022Chicago Style Hotdog: can’t go wrong with that

Nelson V. G. • November 6, 2016Delicious food, friendly staff, amazing selection of tequilas! Order the "Taquitos Dorados" and the Birtego shank.... meat falls off of the bone. Great food and great service! I will be coming back

Angela • October 8, 2014It's Potbelly's what's not to like? Everything here is top notch, and get an Oreo Shake and IBC root beer to accompany your order. Makes for the prefect lunch.

ISC C. • February 16, 2020Chicken & Waffles (Belgian waffle, buttermilk fried chicken, Nashville hot sauce, pecan maple syrup)

Erin W. • January 19, 2013Friendliest staff! Honey Bee is amazing! Hawaiiaan has tempura on the outside so FYI - it's good but very rich and filling. G'yoza is a delicious app!

ISC C. • August 31, 2021Whole fried tilapia with vegetables and rice
