Fodor's Review:

For a taste of classic Chicago, stop into Twin Anchors, which has been dishing babyback ribs since 1932. The nautically-themed brick tavern was a favorite of Frank Sinatra who still croons nightly on the jukebox. If you're not in the mood for a messy slab of ribs, which come mild or zesty, order the battered cod fish fry or the fried chicken. In truth, dinner here is really less about cuisine than scene—local and touring celebs often visit and many locals are loyal regulars—but lovers of barrooms with personality don't mind the typically long waits during prime time.

Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.
