Au Cheval

$ | West Loop Fodor's Choice

A menu packed with burgers, fries, and chopped liver might sound like a classic dive, but Au Cheval is no greasy spoon—exposed brick, dim lighting, and antique-inspired fixtures give a sultry feel, and rich takes on classic American diner dishes satisfy cravings. There’s a perennial wait, but sneak in after 10:15 pm Monday–Saturday for a limited menu consisting of the crowd-favorite cheeseburger and fries.

Lou Mitchell's

$ | West Loop
Shelve your calorie and cholesterol concerns because Lou Mitchell's heeds no modern health warnings—the bustling old-school diner, a dining destination close to Union Station since 1923, specializes in filling breakfasts and comfort-food lunches. Though you’ll almost certainly have to deal with out-the-door waits, especially at breakfast, staffers dole out doughnut holes and Milk Duds to pacify hunger pangs.
