Billy Goat Inn
Diehard “SNL” fans will remember this cozy Chicago diner from the infamous John Belushi skit. Located on the near West Side of Chicago and four blocks from the United Center, the Billy Goat Inn will feature their city favorite rib-eye sandwich and “cheeseboorger.”
1535 W. Madison St.
BJ’s Market & Bakery
BJ’s Market & Bakery is the premier soul food restaurant in Chicago. Don’t miss the mustard-fried catfish, and since it’ll be hot, be sure to order some peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert.
8734 S. Stony Island Ave.
Bobak’s
5275 S. Archer Ave.
Gigantic portion sizes made this restaurant popular. You haven’t experienced Chicago unless you’ve had a polish — try the signature Maxwell Street polish sausage with grilled onions.
