A hip, vegetarian take on a 1950's kitschy diner, the Chicago Diner's Lakeview location glows red with neon signage and lustrous tabletops, owning a menu that will seriously impress your vegan & vegetarian friends. Even if you're not an ethical eater, the vegan Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Milkshake is groundbreaking, as is the flavorful "Radical Reuben". Since reservations aren't accepted, expect a decent-sized wait on any given weekday night where you might experience a line out the front door.
