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.
