1. Bangers & Lace

1670 West Division Street, Wicker Park (at Paulina Ave), Chicago, IL
Bar · Wicker Park · 155 tips and reviews
AskMen: Americanized Poutine @ Bangers & Lace - Order up a serving and marvel at the mound of house fries doused in country gravy and topped with a fried egg. Read more.
Liz Homsy: Without a doubt one of the best places to go in the city for an amazing beer, excellent conversation and awesome food!
Chris Brandt: Seems phony and contrived, like everyone else in the neighborhood.
5. Sunrise Cafe

Breakfast Spot · West Town · 23 tips and reviews
Fox: I love this place. We come here regularly and while the new people are probably expecting something different(pull the stick out why don't you) - this is the diner from heaven. Service. Food. Friends
L Clevenger: For breakfast, I personally favour having the Smokey Mountain: biscuits topped w/ eggs covered with sausage gravy and bacon strips. An alternative would be the Sunrise Special or the Chilaquiles.
Noelle Newhouse: Really great hash browns and eggs benedict too!
6. The Dawson
8.6
732 W Grand Ave (at N Halsted St), Chicago, IL
New American Restaurant · Fulton River District · 96 tips and reviews
Chicagoist: An outdoor bar makes casual, bi-level The Dawson a go-to among al fresco enthusiasts, the wisest of whom snag shotcicles and frozen mai tais to accompany their burgers and chicken-fried lobster. Read more.
Serious Eats: You'll find cocktails, a daily dram, and an assortment of non-alcoholic concoctions from an in-house soda jerk here.
Christopher: Woah, their menu went all deconstructed after the New Year - see the Hunters Consommé and the freeze dried ice cream Pecan Banana Bread

Breakfast Spot · Lakeview · 58 tips and reviews
Evelyn: I've tried many Ihops but by far this one is the best! Best food, best staff LOVE IT!!
Jim Ruvalcaba: Ask for David. He's funny and pretty in a hopelessly straight boy next door way. He's from Detroit, but not the black part... you know, the suburbs!
Bobby Witcher: Definitely the best service ever here!

BBQ Joint · Near North Side · 137 tips and reviews
Anupama Chandwani: Great music (very loud) but loved it. Good service & good food/drinks. Awesome scotch collection!!
K8T Lindgren: This is a rude ass awakening walking into The Ladies'. Hella funny, though!
Dana Danielle: Thursday night they have live music! Make sure to get there early. The fried pickles are a great app, but everything on the menu is delicious!
