Good reasonble Chicago Resturants

[MINETZ]

lou malnatis is my favorite pizza in chicago, but not a higher quality resturant.

Gene and Georghetti's at Wells and Illinois or Grand is one of my friend's favorites. He would know upscale better than me.

if you haven't been to the Green Mill, this is what you should do - it's one of the finest bars in the world.

have they renovated it recently or something. Cause when I used to go to jam sessions there that place was cramped as all hell

If you are into the blues, buddy guy's legends is AWESOME
Harrey Carrey's restaurant is pretty good too.

Go to either the greek islands or the pegasus in greek town. Order anything with lamb. It will melt in your mouth.

it's weird, i've lived in the suburbs my whole life (buffalo grove), and now that i'm at college in evanston, the whole damn place thinks giordano's is much better than lou's. they don't listen when i try to tell them otherwise!

Ya for steak Chicago Chop House is amazing, Morton's is good too.

Best drunk place = Wiener's Circle on Clark

pequod's pizza ~$22 for a large pizza. $27 for a large deep dish with 1/2 2 ingredients and 1/2 2 other ingredients. great deep dish.

tuscany italian pastas ~$11 or 12, meat dishes around $14
osteria via stado italian dun remember, check the web
tizi melloul (maybe one l) moroccan <- can't recommend this place enough all entrees under $22 i think. appetizers around 7 or 8.
frontera grill (looks more expensive than it is, no reservations, but great food) mexican most main courses in the 15-16 range, some up to around 20, apptz around 7 i think, drinks 6.50-8.50, terrific margharitas.
cafe spiaggia italian - appetizers ~8, main ~12-~23, depending what you get, pasta cheaper than other.
tango sur - argentinian steak no liquor or wine, byob, appetizer and steak doable under 25 or 30.
coobah trendy, can be too noisy or crowded. philipino and possibly cuban mix? entrees top out around 16.
deleece californian style cuisine. very very good. a little more expensive, entrees topping out around 25 or so.
spring mildly expensive but worth it. probably upper 20s, though you can get a prix fix for like 65 that is fantastic.
bistro campagne, french, cheap, fantabulous, good beer selection (trappist stuff included)
rezas, middle eastern, multiple locations, very affordable, huge menu, wide varying price ranges, goes up to probably mid 20s for like a half duck in pommegranate sauce.

learn to use the reader's web site and the metromix site as well. they are actually pretty good sites.
all those places listed you should be able to get out with drinks included for under $50 a head, and eat several courses (if you drink at osteria, it's possible not) you should in fact be able to eat at any of those places quite cheaply. eh, i'll go back and put some avg prices on there. well that took longer than expected.

drop me a PM sometime if you want big piles of chicago restaurant help, i've been to basically everyplace.
