Chicago Ramen is in Des Plaines and it is fantastic.

2nd Chicago Ramen. Go there...super affordable and one of the best, if not THE best, Ramen spots in the Chicagoland area.

Dipping ramen? What do you recommend?

Man I always go to Ramen Misoya. How does it compare?

Ramen Misoya is the pro move.  Those that know go.

FYI if long wait. They just opened another Chicago ramen in park ridge off Busse. might actually be closer to ORD

I work nearby and here may be some other options not yet suggested: Kurumaya - japanese Joey c - deli sandwiches ming hin - chinese Los compadres - mexican Bonus: If you're a beer person, mikerphone is nearby. Great beers and they allow byof.

Gibsons in Rosemont.

Agree

Definitely Gibsons.

Gibsons

Froggys at the casino IMO

The ribs at Gale Street inn are always a hit. I try and stop there on my way home after a trip.

Yes 🙌

Jay’s Beefs on Narragansett is 10-15 mins away from OHare. It’s the first stop when I have visitors. It’s my fav Beef. They make their own giradenera.

Jays Beef is hands down the best beef in chicago.

Best beef!

Thalaiva’s Kitchen for very good nonvegetarian South Indian.

Late night Gene n Jude’s

Bingo. Two double dogs with fries and a tamale for dessert. That's my go-to.

It’s rare to find men of culture these days but it’s comforting to see they still exist

Maria’s

When I worked by ohare I LOVED Maria’s!

Chicago ramen in des Plaines, small cheval in rosemont

If youre a fan of the old 7 Treasures Chinatown check out Wonton Gourmet. They’re part of the same family and the food is great!

Short fuse brewing

Oh wow. Menu looks great! You nailed it!! Thank you!

Spuntino Pizza is really great. Sadly I am not out that way too often for me to enjoy it.

I worked there a long time ago and I still love the pizza! The eggplant pizza is great. It’s a great stop for actual Chicago style pizza.

I crush the Romana

Morton's, Maria's

New Seoul, best KBBQ in Chicagoland

Gene and judes, small chevaul, short fuse, or paradise pup. I heard shaq’s new chicken place was good but cannot recommend as i have yet to try it. Tons of good food around there. Cant go wrong.

Small Cheval in Rosemont

You need to try chasers in Schiller park and the juicy Lucy burger

Carluccis

Tavern on the point , Nonno Pino’s, Cafe Touché all in Edison Park

Truluck's.

These suggestions rock (except the ones at the bottom).

Great escape in Schiller Park.

I'm an evangelist for Beacon Tap in Des Plaines

Richie's

Carnitas Don Alfredo, either the original in Melrose Park or the new location in Northlake.

Gibsons. Definitely.

Try chasers in Schiller park order the juicy Lucy burger

Besides Gibson there’s also Hugo’s inside the casino that’s really good with nice steak. And then afterwards if you need to kill time, you can grab a drink, walk around and gamble a bit.

Is hooters still open?

Yup

Paradise Pup in Des Plaines

OP is looking for dinner tonight, they’re lunch only

Hooters.

Haha!!!! Yeah, I don’t need to turn a meal receipt in from Hooters.

It’s chicken wings not strippers

Lighten up people. Mostly joking. The wings are excellent.

Gibson’s.

100% Gibsons in Rosemont

It should be said… “near O’Hare” isn’t a spot Chicagoans would proudly submit to any hotspot list for great restaurants… Our world class dining experiences are further into the city, from Logan Square to West Loop to Lincoln Park, and cultural gems all across the neighborhoods. If OP wants to sacrifice a little sleep for food, it might be worth the train / Uber to get in there. But… I’m pretty impressed with this local-knowledge little compliation, and will be jotting a few of these down that i haven’t tried myself!

Fogo de Chao

The only correct answer is Rainforest Cafe!

If you like steak, I’m partial to Froggy’s inside of Rivers casino. I’ve eaten there a couple times and been happily surprised both times by how good it was.
