Super Dawg for Super Food and Super Fun.
Restaurant: Superdawg
A family favorite for many, many years. The Super Dawg (big, plump and juicy)comes in a box with incredible Super Fries (some of the best fries around), retro drive-in atmosphere - It's a blast from the past! Super Dawg is a unique experience. You can have the food brought to you by car hops and eat in your car (HOT TIP: I like to bring paper plates; taking the Super Dawg & Fries out of the box keeps the bun from getting soggy & keeps the mustard from dripping on your lap) or you can eat right out of the box (I love the packaging). When the weather's nice, sit outside in the shade and dine at picnic tables. All the food is Super: Super Burgers, Super Thick Shakes, Super Duper good time. Nice condiments, (where else can you get Picalily or Super pickled tomatoes?). Black Cows, Super Sundaes, much more. A real treat for everyone.

The Quintessential Chicago Steakhouse
Restaurant: Gene & Georgetti
For a real Chicago steakhouse experience, from top to bottom and everything in between, this is the place to go. Great food: every dish on the menu is first rate.
Loud, but comfy.
Crowded, but friendly.
Even the drinks are good.
Great place to take out of town guests.

Good Food served with a side of noise
Restaurant: Burger Bar Chicago
I had dinner at the Burger Bar the other night before a play at the Steppenwolf Theater. I was with 3 other people and we all had different types of, what else? Burgers! Everyone thought the food was very good. Not only the burgers, but also the side dishes. I had the Tallgrass (organic) Burger with Swiss cheese and regular fries. Very satisfying. My partner had the Veggie burger with sweet potato fries. Delicious. The milk shakes looked good and I plan to have one next time I'm there.
Don't plan on having a conversation during your meal, unless you are in to shouting. It might be OK depending who you're with. I noticed many young children and babies. They didn't seem to notice the decibel level and actually might have added to it. If your with the guys, you can be a little rowdy and no one will notice.
They have their own parking lot (valet) and it's walking distance to the Steppenwolf. I would go back again.

A True Chicago Steakhouse Experience
Restaurant: Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse
Consistently great in every way; food, service, portions, quality, variety. Large portions. You are treated like royalty. Great place for people watching. I've been going to Gibson's since they opened and every time I go, I look forward to the next time.
