Worth going with kids (10 and 7)? Is the food bad? Better bets?

Whenever I go to Chicago and want a good hamburger and a good time, I want to go to Ed's. A 50's atmosphere with an attitude combined with good burgers. A little wild for a 10 and 7 year old but with a good waiter or waitress, the kids will enjoy it. It is a bit more of an older group place.

Yeah, get in here, eat and the get the heck out, okay?!

A VERY OVERRATED PLACE, in my opinion. We waited to get in and couldn't wait to get out. Go to your local Sonic for 1/3 the price and a far less "annoyance" factor.

We took our 10 year old and arrived early for lunch. She thought it was a hoot.

The food was good but nothing special. You're there for the atmosphere. I'd go back but not if I had to stand in line.

wellworth it. If your lucky,you'll see the waitstaff do a dance on the counter. Kids will love it. Get the route 66 burger,forget ed's beer.

Everytime we go to Chicago, our children insist on going to Ed Debevics. It started when they were about 8 & 5 and now that they're teens, we're still going. Make sure to get the worlds smallest sundae and take pictures in the old photo booth (the kind that gives you a B & W strip of 4 shots.

bobo: All of the above sums up Ed's - you either love it or hate it! Personally, I wouldn't go if I didn't have kids with me....
