Lincolnshire Travel Guide

A "seemingly endless variety of pancakes" (especially the "don't-miss" apple and "unusual" Dutch Baby versions) makes fans flip for this "always-crowded" "real-deal" American chain that supplies "Sunday morning comfort" for many; service is "fast (if not so friendly)" and the price is right, but "better coffee would be an improvement"; N.B. not all locations are open for dinner.

Lettuce Entertain You's "flamingly successful" (the Chicago Survey's Most Popular) city-and-suburban steakhouse chain remains the "place to go" for "wood-fire-grilled meats", "good" Traditional American "basics" ("cedar plank salmon" and "chopped salad"), "divine desserts" and a "whole page of martinis in the menu", all arrayed in an atmosphere evocative of "a '40s supper club"; "service level can vary", "reservations are a must" and some participants "don't get the attraction" considering the "noise" and "ridiculous waits"; N.B. River North serves dinner only.
