Restaurants in Chicago
 
Hi everyone! You've all had great advice before so here's my question. We're headed for Chicago this summer (2 adults, 2 teen boys). I know there are tons of great restaurants in the central area but I'd love to have some names, especially ones that are reasonable. Thanks!

Joniellen, I'm assuming that you don't want to spend more than $15-20/pp (including drinks and tip). If you don't mind spending more than that, there are a lot more options.

Some suggestions:

Heaven on Seven (600 N. Michigan);

A Chicago-style pizza, Italian Beef or Chicago-style hot-dog place;

Park Grill (at Millennium Park);

Foodlife or Mity-Nice at Water Tower Place (lowest level);

Tucci Bennuch or Oak Tree at 900 N. Michigan;

Coco Pazzo Cafe on N. St. Clair;

Any of the Corner Bakery locations;

The food court (lowest level) at Marshall Field's at State and Randolph;

The luncheon buffet in the Signature Room (96th Floor of the John Hancock building)--for the view--food is only so-so;

or Harry Caray's (for lunch).

Have fun.

Thanks exiledprincess! Great suggestions. And that is a good price range when you're talking 4 people 3 times a day. Anyone else??

I'd also suggest The Berghoff. They have great lunch specials. But it's good for dinner too. Our teens love their root beer. And my husband and I enjoy their dark beer.

It's a Chicago institution.

Sorry, should have given you the address. It's a 17 W Adams, in the Loop.

Thanks for the help!! My computer has been finicky, sorry such a late reply.

Also the Big Bowl restaurants, if they're willing to try some Asian cuisine.
