Eight Best Bangs for Your Buck 2008
With crazy gas prices and now high sales taxes, Chicagoans and visitors are looking to save money where they can. But don’t let your budget prevent you from going out to enjoy a good meal. Here are eight of the best restaurants (courtesy of Citysearch and Yelp) where you can get a big meal for a small price.
8. Red Apple. This Polish buffet just keeps on going and going and going…
7. Reza’s Restaurant. As if the extensive Mediterranean menu wasn’t enough, the Sunday brunch buffet offers an incredible number of options.
6. Mr. Greek Gyros. Everything from hot dogs to pork chops to souvlaki can be found at this 24-hour Greektown spot.
5. Joy’s Noodles & Rice. The atmosphere is just as light and refreshing as the popular Thai cuisine.
4. Hema’s Kitchen. On the far north side, you’ll be lucky if you can see your plate underneath all the Indian food.
3. Lindy’s & Gertie’s. For over 80 years, these two establishments have been keeping hungry South Siders full and satisfied.
2. MacArthur’s. The soul food here was popular long before Barack Obama sang its praises.
1. Manny’s Coffee Shop & Deli. This well-known South Loop staple has been serving up huge sandwiches for over 60 years.
