Where the Locals Eat Rating

Local Favorite

"This north-suburban fish house has perfected a wildly successful formula consisting of exquisitely fresh fish, a huge menu (including some nonfish items), and quick, efficient service. The ambience is loud and chaotic, but obviously plenty of people like it that way: The hungry hordes line up around zigzagged dividers."
Chicago Reader

"Sprawling (600-plus seats) crab house/shack that packs them in night after night. Crab comes several ways, and other seafood abounds. Nothing fancy, so don't look for too much other than pristine, well prepared seafood."
Chicago Sun-Times

"Bob Chinn's is the highest-volume restaurant in the area–not to mention, one of the highest in the nation. It's all in the open here: Staffers posts bills for all to see, proving how often deliveries of fresh seafood are made."
Chicago Tribune

"Since it opened in 1982, Bob Chinn's Crabhouse has become world-renowned for its seafood, its famous Mai Tais and its atmosphere. Among independently owned restaurants, Bob Chinn's Crabhouse ranks fifth in the United States in terms of sales. The restaurant serves approximately 3,000 patrons nightly, and even higher numbers on the weekends. It serves nearly 2,300 Mai Tais each night, and more than two tons of fish each week."

Chicago's restaurant scene boasts some of the nation's top contemporary and French-inspired fine dining, but the Windy City remains the epicenter of steak houses, hot dogs, deep-dish pizza and Italian beef sandwiches.
