Top Best American Restaurants in Hillside

"This coffeehouse and restaurant has such stellar options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner that it’s tempting to spend the whole day at Beatrix. In the morning, order the chia cereal bowl, the light and fluffy lemon pancakes, or opt for something in their tempting pastry case. During dinner, you’ll find plenty of options where vegetables are the star of the show, like the asparagus and pea risotto made with farro or the eggplant steak."

"A post shared by Summer House Santa Monica (@summerhousesm) on Dec 6, 2018 at 11:55am PST. It’s easy to forget the frigid temperatures when you’re inside Summer House Santa Monica, a California-inspired restaurant in Lincoln Park. Each day comes with an assortment of holiday cookies, from reindeer to mittens."

"Get a taste of California without leaving the city or even having to sit down through dinner. These cookies are always available alongside other sweets at their Market counter."

"Au Cheval has hands-down the most talked about burger in the Chicagoland area. It is constantly topping lists of best burgers in the country, but everything on the menu is just as show-stopping. The chilaquiles at brunch are supposed to be life changing, but I have yet to try them."

"This place spoiled me I swear they burgers soooooooo good that other places just all seem like they don't hit- like this place."

"Revolution Brewing, a brewery, bar and New American spot in Logan Square, is another high-traffic go-to, with four stars out of 2,102 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2323 N. Milwaukee Ave. (between California and Belden avenues) to see for yourself."

"Smyth & The Loyalist is not your typical name-ampersand-name hipster restaurant. In this case, the name actually denotes two distinct restaurants in a bi-level space, run by a husband-and-wife duo. Spacious and modern Smyth serves a tasting menu in a modern, bright, cozy room."

"Besides Oriole, Smyth is the other 2 Michelin star-rated restaurant in Chicago. Smyth can also be found in the West Loop. It’s New American food at its best with exceptional wine pairings and an incredible ambiance."

Dessert offers guests an opportunity to sink their sweet tooths into a milk and dark chocolate cake flecked with edible 14-karat gold. RPM Steak is open for indoor and outdoor dining, and takeout or delivery via third party services."

"Restaurants Steakhouse River North. This steakhouse chain's Marina City digs—a Chicago River fixture since 1998—sports all the classics, from prime-aged meat cuts to creamed spinach and truffled mac and cheese. Head to the restaurant's covered patio area for peak river views, or grab a table near the interior's floor-to-ceiling windows."

"DuSable Museum of African American History is not only a site that houses valuable artifacts of African-American history, but the building itself is a structure of historical importance. Architect Daniel H Burnham had originally constructed the structure as horse stables, but the beautiful timber and limestone structure from the 19th century houses one of the best-curated museums today. Teenagers and preteens will be able to appreciate the art exhibitions and poetry reading sessions that capture the African-American experience."

Visitors may also enjoy their shopping experience in-person, curbside pickup, virtual queuing, and in-store pickup options."

The retail complex covers a total of seven blocks and includes Italian superstore Eataly."

"Nellie’s in Humboldt Park, Byrons Hot Dog in Ravenswood, and Byron’s Hot Dog Haus in Lakeview must be pretty great, since they’ve earned one of the highest star ratings from users for Street Food delivery."

"Most famous for its mouthwatering red sauce, La Scarola serves up Italian food in the traditional style. This small restaurant has walls sporting photographs of celebrities, and it provides a welcoming and intimate environment for dining. The portions are large, so families and groups of diners often opt to share a couple of dishes between them."

"The small little hole in the wall restaurant that greets you like they haven’t seen you in months. This comfy dinner place is decorated like a middle-class dining room with framed pictures and paintings on the wall. The food comes out with smiles on the servers faces as they want nothing but for you and your family to enjoy your meal."
