Last Updated: January 2026
Our Top Pick
Port and Park Bistro & Bar
Truffled hard-cut fries with truffle aioli that read as a signature, not a side.
Notable Picks
8.4
A Southport Corridor neighborhood bar-restaurant where the fries are treated like a real menu item, not a filler side—crisp, hand-cut, and built for dipping. The best move is to start with the Truffled Hard Cut Fries, then keep the rest of the order in the burger-and-shares lane so the fry texture stays the headline.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffled Hard Cut Fries, Hand Cut Fries, Pesto Cream Mussels
What makes it special: Truffled hard-cut fries with truffle aioli that read as a signature, not a side.
8.4
A big, high-energy Wrigleyville taqueria built for patio hangs, bourbon-and-tequila rhythms, and fast-moving tacos before or after a game. The best experience comes from staying in the street-food lane—tacos, hot chips, and one drink order—so everything hits hot and crisp.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hot chips (fresh-fried nachos), Tacos al pastor, Carne asada taco
What makes it special: Big patio energy with a focused taco-and-bourbon playbook.
8.3
A Southport corridor standby with jumbo wings that eat like a main, not a snack—ideal when you want real wing volume with bar energy. Order one or two flavors, add one basket side, and stop before the menu turns into a buffet.
Must-Try Dishes:
Jumbo Wings, Buffalo Wings, Garlic Parmesan Wings
What makes it special: Jumbo wings with real heft and strong sauce coverage.
8.1
A classic Chicago stand where fries are thin-cut and built for that ideal mix of crisp edges and softer middle—exactly what you want next to a hot dog or burger. It’s at its best when you go simple: fries plus one main, no menu wandering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicago-style hot dog, Italian beef sandwich, Fries
What makes it special: A high-volume Chicago hot dog stand built around classic orders.
8.0
A neighborhood public house with a surprisingly dialed wing lineup, especially if you treat sauces like the main decision. Go classic (hot or mild) or lean into Nashville/hot honey, then keep the rest of the order minimal so the wings stay the headline.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Wings (Hot Honey), Chicken Wings (Lemon Pepper), Chicken Wings (Garlic Parmesan)
What makes it special: House-made sauces with a wide wing flavor range.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A low-key Wrigleyville bar where the wings are the only reason to overthink the menu. Order wings in one flavor (or split two for a bigger group), keep expectations in the classic bar-food lane, and treat it as a pre- or post-game move.
Must-Try Dishes:
10 Wings (Hot), 20 Wings (Medium), Wings (Tang-Z-Q)
What makes it special: Straight-to-the-point wings focus in a classic bar setting.

Hidden Gems Heaven
Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A small, delivery-friendly neighborhood spot where fries are a cheap, low-risk add-on that pairs well with sandwiches and late-in-the-week comfort orders. The best approach is to treat it like a focused takeout run: fries plus one main, then stop.
Must-Try Dishes:
French Fries, Toasted Ravioli, Chicken Fingers
What makes it special: Straightforward fries-and-appetizers lane that works for takeout.
