Food Scene
Bob Chinn's is nationally recognized for their fresh seafood, flown in daily and never frozen. They are in the top five revenue-producing, independently-owned restaurants in the United States. You'll love their homemade garlic rolls, served fresh upon seating. Legend has it that infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone ran a bootleg operation out of this building, and repeatedly made escapes through a trap door and down the Des Plaines River during police raids ... cool! It's best to go early, as this restaurant is typically very crowded at dinnertime.

Got a craving for a gigantic, delicious, barbecued turkey leg? Then this is the place for you! Meats and poultry are smoked right there in the giant smoker, located in the middle of the restaurant. The casual, pub-style atmosphere is comfortable, with a cement floor, wooden booths and tables, and background music lending to the upbeat vibe. Nice selection of beer, and a good-sized menu, but - trust me - order the turkey leg!
