Bowl of Chili with beans

Brought home a quart of chili with beans and it was really delicious. Great flavor -nice and hearty. I added sourcream, cheese, and green onions because that's how I like it, but definitely did not need any add ons. Chili was good as is. Would definitely have it again.

All Beef Polish Sausage Meal

Overall Thoughts: A simple but lengthy trek from Chicago (orange line to Midway then bus), my friends and I initially didn't intend to dine here but stumbled in after the spot we originally had in mind was closed. We were glad we came though-- the vibes were chill, and the staff were so kind and friendly. The food is pretty standard diner / fast food grub, and tasted good. The prices are affordable too, and the portions are large. If I lived in the area, I would probably stop by more often with friends as a chill hangout spot to grab a quick bite or milkshake. Food I tried: - Chili (4.5/5): The chili is really delicious! It had tons of flavor and nice textures. - Polish Sausage Dream Meal (4.2/5): The polish sausage as quite good-- I prefer its coarser texture and smokier flavor over a traditional hotdog. I liked the combination of the soft, fresh bun also with the crunchy veggies inside. The fries were crispy and well-fried. - Chocolate Triple Rich Milkshake (4.2/5): Their shakes/sundaes/ice cream menu is expansive, and everything looked delicious. This milkshake was rich, sweet, and chocolatey, and I liked how they provided an extra bowl with the leftovers too-- we love no food waste! -- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5 Food: 4.3/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

If you're craving chili, Lindys is a must. You can also add a delicious hand made shake! This is my go to. Family friendly environment. The employees have worked here forever. You can't find places like this anymore. Check them out, you won't be sorry.

Chili

I ordered the hamburger meal it was a little over $11 and came with hand cut fries, a cup of chili and a drink. I will say this the chili was absolutely delicious. It was probably the best chili I think I've ever had. I ordered mine without beans and I really loved it. The hamburger was pretty good and they give you a lot of fries. The staff is very friendly and the drive thru is quick.

The food here is scrumptious and the ice cream is yum. I love the diner vibes which somehow just makes the food taste better.

I love their chilli. I order it without beans because I do Keto. I add other ingredients like, salsa, hot sauce, cheese and sour cream.

We came for dinner. It was our 1st time here. They have a parking lot and we were able to grab a…read morespot easily. Since we did not know the layout, we entered in the bar. We walked back out and found the door to the restaurant. Staff is warm and friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was Robert and he was great! He gave his recommendations for which sides would go best with our meals and I felt they were spot on. They give complimentary bread and butter. It was warm and delicious. Hubby ordered the rib tips with fries, baked beans, and had the hot and mild barbecue sauce on the side. I ordered the 1/2 dark smoked chicken dinner with mac-n-cheese, spicy Cajun green beans, and spicy honey garlic barbecue sauce. I agree with Robert, that the sauce pairs very well with the chicken. The tips were tender and falling off the bone. He didn't care for the fries and loved the baked beans, even though they were a bit too spicy for him. My chicken was also very tender and I enjoyed the smokiness. The green beans had the right amount of spice although they were not as spicy as the baked beans. The mac-n-cheese was creamy. We were too full to order dessert. Maybe next time. This is a great neighborhood staple and will definitely be back.

Very comfortable and homey atmosphere--this place really knows how to set the vibe. Servers were…read moregreat and friendly. The lighting and décor felt festive without being overwhelming, and the space itself is huge. There's plenty of room whether you're dining with family, catching a game with friends, or just unwinding with drinks after a long day. Speaking of drinks, they're very reasonably priced--definitely worth opening a tab and relaxing for a while. For food, I tried Chuck's Wings with roasted vegetables and Cajun fries. Nothing is ever truly perfect, but these wings came close. The sauce was spot-on--easily some of the best I've had. The vegetables were cooked just right and packed with flavor, and the Cajun fries tied everything together perfectly. Overall, this spot delivers on both atmosphere and quality. Definitely worth checking out.
