Our Top Pick
Fry the Coop (West Town)
Beef-fat frying gives the fries a richer crunch and finish.
Notable Picks
8.4
A Nashville hot chicken stop where the side dish quietly steals the show: beef-fat fries with a deep, savory crunch that pairs perfectly with heat-leveled sandwiches. It’s a fast order, but the fry execution is serious—best when you eat them immediately while the crisp is loud.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef Fat Fries, Seasoned Fries, Loaded Beef Fat Fries
What Makes it Special: Beef-fat frying gives the fries a richer crunch and finish.
#2
Frontier
8.3
A lodge-styled American tavern that leans into smoke, fire, and “try-something-new” proteins without losing the comfort-food anchor. It’s at its best for groups who want a centerpiece order—then rotate through sharable starters and hearty sides while the bar keeps the night moving.
Must-Try Dishes:
BBQ boar sliders, Wagyu ribs, Smoked/charred oysters
What Makes it Special: Whole-animal and wild-game energy in a polished, group-ready tavern setting.
8.2
Vibes:
Brunch Bliss Spots
Family Friendly Favorites
Comfort Food Classics
Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance
A classic all-day-style diner feel with a big menu, fast pacing, and the kind of breakfast execution that keeps regulars coming back. Go for the signature French toast or omelet builds, and treat it as a comfort-forward stop rather than a destination for ambience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cinnamon roll French toast, Hickory Joe omelette, Eggs Benedict
What Makes it Special: Big-menu diner breakfast that’s dialed in on portions and comfort.
Worthy Picks

A long-running neighborhood breakfast house in a cozy, cottage-like space where the draw is classic comfort and big-portion reliability. Stick to the signature sweet French toast plays or straightforward egg plates, and you’ll get the best version of what they do.
Must-Try Dishes:
Stuffed French toast, Corned beef hash, Sausage, egg, and cheese on brioche
What Makes it Special: Old-school Chicago breakfast comfort in a charming, homey setting.
