    LOVE Famous Dave's. It's a must stop when flying out of MDW 25min away from Rental return. $1 pints were amazing.

    Try the lunch special (ends at 4 pm) to get a combo meal for a good price.

    The St. Louis-Style Spareribs are great. (the southside ribs are good BUT I'll stick with the st Louis)

    The burnt ends do not taste as good as Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City or Q's in LaGrange, IL.
