This just might be the most iconic diner in all of Chicago! Have you been?! 👀 . Lou Mitchell’s opened in Chicago in 1923 as a family diner, and it has held steady ever since! This year even marked its 100 year anniversary, so you know that it must be good with that kind of staying power! . The restaurant marks the start of the famous Route 66 that connects Chicago to California, and they’ve been serving up the same recipes since the diner opened. . Three things to watch out for when you visit: . 1️⃣ The amazing hostess Donna who is 95 years old! 2️⃣ Donut holes with your breakfast (free since 1958)! 3️⃣ Get there early because they tend to get busy. . There are plenty of great things to order when you visit, but we think they do great pancakes and skillets! . Send this video to someone who should take you to Lou Mitchell’s for breakfast this weekend! 🙌 . . . #chicago #chicagofood #chicagofoodie #chicagogram #chicagoland #westloopchicago #chicity #chicagolife #chicagoillinois #chicagodiner #chicagorestaurants

This is Chicago’s oldest crab house, and it should be your next date night spot! #ad 🦀🏠 . @kingcrabchicago in Lincoln Park has fantastic, fresh seafood at great prices, plus it’s a family-owned business that’s been around for over 40 years. . If you are participating in Lent, they have an entire menu of Lent specials that just started and run through April 2. Some of the items on this menu include: ➖ $28.95: All You Can Eat Perch ➖ $39.95: All You Can Eat Crawfish Boil Bag ➖ $19.95: White Fish and Blackened Catfish ➖ $31.95: Alaskan Halibut ➖ $33.95: Grilled Chilean Sea Bass ➖ $21.95: Norwegian Salmon ➖ $26.95: Stuffed Swai . We thought the Grilled Chilean Sea Bass was incredible. It’s wild caught, tasty and a great value at just $33.95. . They also have amazing specials at their Oyster Bar when you order at least two drinks. Here are some: ➖ $0.50 Cheddar Jalapeño Poppers ➖ $0.85 Oysters ➖ $0.90 Wings ➖ $0.95 Peel & Eat Shrimp ➖ $3.95 Burgers ➖ $8.95: Mussels (Plate) ➖ $8.95: Fried Oysters (Plate) ➖ $9.95: Fried Bay Scallops (Plate) ➖ $11.95: Spicy Shrimp (Plate) . If you’re looking to treat yourself, the Alaskan King Crab Legs are worth a splurge. It’s what the restaurant is named after for a reason. You won’t be disappointed. . Send this to someone who loves a good crab house or someone who should get good seafood during Lent! . . . #chicago #chicagofood #chicagofoodie #chicagogram #chicagorestaurant #lincolnparkchicago #chicagoeats

Chicago is the greatest breakfast city...in the world!? what spots am I missing? #chicago #breakfast #breakfastsandwich

$5 Lamb Chops?! 🤯 Share with someone you’d try this with! I tried @trufflechicago for the first time and I’ll definitely be back. I love supporting black owned restaurants, especially in my hometown Chicago. Here’s everything I ordered: 🍗 Honey Hot & Garlic Parmesan Wings 🍟 Truffle Fries 🔥 Buffalo Egg Rolls 🐑 Lamb Chops (with garlic mash & asparagus) 🐟 Stuffed Salmon (with Mac & Cheese and Greens) Now you know I pride myself in 100% honest reviews so here’s the real… Overall experience: 7.7/10 Food: 8/10 (I loved th main dishes & appetizers but sides could be better with the exception of asparagus) Service: 6/10 (they were sweet but some things were a little slow getting from the waitress but the food came quick) Ambiance: 9/10 (very cute inside but a little cramped) ⚠️ Note: Do not go here if you have a shellfish sensitivity. Like most restaurants, they fry all their food in the same fryer so cross contamination can easily happen. My friend has a sensitivity to the smell and had to leave early because the smell from the kitchen was causing her allergy to flare up. I didn’t notice the smell at all, so I want to be clear that the place didn’t smell bad. It actually smelled delicious. I’m a big foodie, so I’m glad this was my first stop back home. I really want to get back for their wings so I can try different flavors and their seafood. I was really looking forward to trying their oysters, shrimp and crab claws 😢 so make sure you go and try them for me! 😘 Hope you enjoyed this episode of Travel Foodie Finds CHICAGO edition! 🫶🏽 #foodie #chicagofoodscene #blackownedrestaurant #chicagofoodie #travelfoodie
