How to Choose the Right Restaurants in Chicago

Not all restaurants are created equal. Here's what to look for:

  1. Check the health inspection score before dining — most cities post these online or display them in the window.
  2. Look at recent reviews (last 90 days) — restaurants can change quality quickly under new ownership.
  3. Call ahead for large groups or special dietary needs — don't assume accommodations without asking.
  4. Lunch menus at nicer restaurants often offer the same food at 20–40% lower prices than dinner.
💡

Pro tip: Happy hour (typically 4–6pm weekdays) at bar-and-grill restaurants often offers 50% off appetizers and discounted drinks — great for date night on a budget.
