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

    Catfish is a must-have. Try the mustard sauce to change things up.
