If you are trying to decide where to eat and drink in Chicago, I have you covered. All of these restaurants are relatively cheap and located near downtown Chicago. The Chicago restaurants on this list include a brunch spot, deep-dish pizza, and more.
Best Brunch Spot – Le Pain Quotidien
This amazing brunch spot prides itself on serving organic and fresh food in Chicago. We both had a freshly squeezed mimosa to start with, followed by a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich and a goat cheese omelet. I was impressed with the quality of the food there and how affordable the whole meal was. This is a must-do brunch spot in Chicago.
Le Pain Quotidien is located at 20 N. Michigan Ave in Chicago.
Best Hot dog in Chicago – Portillo’s Hot Dogs
Portillo’s is known as the hotdog place in Chicago and what a plus that it is open 24/7. The food was delicious and even though the place was packed we still got our food in a timely matter. The inside has a retro feel to it which is nice. I would highly suggest Portillo’s to anyone that wants a great hotdog in Chicago! Portillo’s Hot Dogs has multiple locations, but the one we visited was located at 100 W Ontario St. in Chicago.

Best Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago – Gino’s East River North
What to eat in Chicago? Deep-dish pizza, of course! Chicago is known for its delicious deep-dish pizza. We asked a few people around our hotel where we should go for some bomb pizza, and they send us to Gino’s East River North. Their deep dish pizza did not disappoint. It was served hot, fresh, and oozing of flavor. Their service was a great we and will go back the next time we are in Chicago. Gino’s East River North is located at 500 N LaSalle Dr. in Chicago.
Best Lunch Spot in Chicago – The Kerryman
Sometimes the question is not what to eat in Chicago; it’s where. This quaint bar in downtown Chicago has delicious food that is perfect for lunch. I had the tomato cream soup, which is so good, and Kyle had the shepherds pie. We sat right across from the bar, which was nice, but they do have additional seating upstairs—the perfect place in Chicago to grab a great meal and a drink. The Kerryman is located at 661 N Clark St. in Chicago.
Best Postmates Food in Chicago – Big Wig Tacos & Burritos
Every time I travel, there is always at least one night that I just want to stay in and relax. We ordered nachos from Big Wig, and the delivery was so quick, and the food was terrific. For a vegetarian option, I ordered the nachos with extra avocado. Yummm. Be sure to ask for extra salsa. Another plus about this restaurant is that they are open late, so they deliver late. Big Wig Tacos & Burritos is located 770 N LaSalle Dr. in Chicago.
