Review:
A Chicago stalwart that even non-vegetarians know well, The Chicago Diner has been “meat free since ’83” as they tout in their slogan and has become a time-tested favorite for delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine. The expansive menu has something for everyone, from Portobello truffle melts oozing with vegan mozzarella to classic or quinoa chili served with jalapeño corn fritters, diced tomato and onion, sour cream, cheese, and avocado. Meat-free gyros, Cuban sandwiches, and country-fried steaks are also on the menu, as well as the diner's signature sandwich known as the Reuben, which features corned beef seitan, cheese, sauerkraut, peppers, grilled onions, and a vegan thousand island dressing on freshly baked rye bread. The original Halsted Street location and its Logan Square sister restaurant are open for brunch, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.
3411 N Halsted Street, Chicago, IL 60657, Phone: 773-935-6696
