Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Willowbrook

"I’m partial to calling Chicago’s deep-dish pizza a glorified casserole with cheese, tomato sauce, and crust. I’m biased though because aside from a rivalry over whose buildings are the tallest, New York and Chicago tend to have very different ideas over what “pizza” really is. My biases aside, I can’t say “no” to a ton of cheese and a crusty edge no matter how thick that slice may be…"

"Sit down for dinner at one of Chicago’s popular deep dish pizza restaurants (my favorite is Lou Malnati’s). The pizza takes at least 30 minutes to arrive at the table after ordering, so make sure to get a salad or appetizer if you’re hungry."

"With a signature deep-dish recipe handed down through generations, Lou Malnati's is often cited as having the best pizza in Chicago. We suggest you be the judge. Kids will enjoy: Devouring buttery, flakey, gooey hot pizza of course!"

"I can’t believe it’s seitan,” is what you might be saying after a bowl of chili, piled-high Reuben or taco salad that are all completely vegan. Cashew cheese, faux bacon and organic tempeh are used to make every item meat- and dairy-free."

"The city’s most prominent Jewish deli is coming up on its 80th birthday but little about the experience has changed. Stroll in during lunch hours for massive corned beef sandwiches, potato pancakes, knishes, matzo ball soup, and more. Cafeteria-style service keeps things moving along quickly — a big plus for diners short on time."

"The Maxwell Street Market ain’t what, or where, it used to be, but Manny’s still has potato pancakes, Reubens, and diner faves galore.B, L & D Mon–Sat. Free parking (free valet at lunch), wheelchair accessible, child friendly."

"The corned-beef sandwich here is the one that other local delis aim to beat. Manny's has always been popular with Chicago politicians—so if...Read More"

"Kitchen 17 is a casual, laid-back vegan café in Lakeview that focuses on house-made seitan-based vegetarian and vegan fare in a friendly, inviting setting. The cozy restaurant offers a menu of simple yet delicious food ranging from nachos, hummus and toasted pita bread, artichoke dips, and hearty burgers with a variety of toppings to gyros, barbecue sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks (sans the steak), and refried black beans. A weekly selection of mouthwatering desserts includes cupcakes, freshly baked cakes and homemade fudge for a sweet ending to your meal."

"Fancy Plants Cafe was founded by Kevin Schuder, who started as Kitchen 17’s coffee-and-pastry barista. He found Fancy Plants Cafe, which offers coffee, tea, pastries, gluten-free pastries, sauces, greens, and a fancy five-course dinner option on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Kitchen 17 is a BYOB eatery where guests can enjoy a vegetarian dessert of Middle Eastern and American dishes."

"This completely vegan spot serves up some serious comfort food alternatives with their housemade spicy seitan. Check out their vegan pizza options with your choice of New York-style crust or Chicago-style deep dish to finally put the "best pizza" debate to rest."

"Restaurants Italian Gold Coast. This tiny Gold Coast restaurant makes the perfect backdrop for date night. But after one look at the menu, you'll realize that the cutesy interior is backed up by fantastic fare."

"The Lakeview Giordano’s is the place to be for deep-dish pizza and documenting the big moment, as long as you post before the cheese gets to your brain."

"The best deep dish in Chicago is a hotly debated topic, but it really comes down to whether you prefer your ‘za saucier or cheesier. Personally, I’m a coat that pie in as much tomato sauce as possible kind of girl. If you’re all about that cheese life, Lou Malnati’s will be more your style."

"Address: 130 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601, 223 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60606, 730 N Rush St, Chicago, IL 60611, & 700 E."

"After we were done at the MSI (Museum of Science and Industry) or I should say once they kicked us out when they closed ."

"You may be a bit hesitant to bring your kids to a restaurant where the theme is, well, sugar, but rest assured, there’s more to this spot than just candy (like an elaborate drink menu for adults, for instance). Kids will flip for the restaurant’s Rainbow Sliders (mini cheeseburgers with colorful buns that come with a rubber ducky you can take home) and over-the-top milkshake concoctions (Nutella Banana or Chocolate Rocky Road, anyone?). While Sugar Factory probably isn’t practical for a weeknight meal, the place just screams “birthday party” or special event."

"Everyone needs a little sweetness from time to time and the Sugar Factory will satisfy any sweet tooth. This kid friendly restaurant in River North of Chicago is perhaps best known for its world-famous Couture Pops, but its menu features an assortment of both sweet and savory cuisine, from waffles, crepes and french toast for breakfast to classic favorites like burgers, salads, and fried mac n cheese pops later in the day. Of course, the real star is the dessert menu, with colorful, sprinkled, gourmet treats that will delight kids and adults alike!"

"Technically not in Chicago, but still worth the mention due to its proximity to the airport. Popularized by trendy celebs, the Sugar Factory delivers sundaes that are as Insta-worthy as the inside of the restaurant itself. If you’re trying to splurge, order the King Kong Sundae."

"The cold case at Yahya and Nataki Muhammad's cheerful Bronzeville scoop shop is packed with hand-churned homemade ice cream in flavors like Jamaican rum raisin, honey cinnamon graham cracker and strawberry supreme. But it won't take long to spot someone devouring the creamery's crown jewel: a generous serving of peach cobbler crowned with melty vanilla ice cream. Once you try this summertime delicacy, prepare to crave it for the rest of your life."

"A post shared by Shawn Michelle’s Ice Cream (@shawnmichelleschicago) on Jul 23, 2019 at 1:26pm PDT. This Bronzeville shop is new to the ice cream game, but they still cherish old-fashioned ice cream!. Head to their store to try their Sweet Sixteen flavors including Grandma’s Ole Fashioned Vanilla, Honey Cinnamon Graham and Jamaican Rum Raisin."

"A little walk-up stand in Little Italy with fantastic Italian ice, which we understand is not ice cream. But this is your summer power move when you need a break from the richness of creamier sweets (or just a palate cleanser between two other ice cream stops). All the flavors are good, but the go-to here is the lemon."

"Walk up and order from a menu filled with fresh Italian ice flavors with pieces of real fruit. This stand is only open from May to September each year so get it while you can."

"Hunkered down across from Grant Park, this 110,000-ton granite-and-limestone behemoth was an instant star when it debuted in 1899, and…"
