CHICAGO: Southside Restaurants



Ah, the South Side/South Loop. There's the University of Chicago, and museums and the wonders of Frank Lloyd Wright.
But when it comes to food, the South Side has the likes of Chinatown and Hyde Park.
And between them there are SO many restaurants and so LITTLE time.
Hyde Park, has been home to Muhammad Ali, U.S. Senator Carol Mosely-Braun, and Marshall Field. Its family-oriented appeal makes it a prime pick for any visitors or prospective residents. It is also know for it's Caribbean, Thai, and Mexican  restaurants.
Chinatown basically says it all. The Far East charm and the scores of incredible Chinese and Cantonese restaurants and bakeries... HOW can you POSSIBLY go WRONG!!!




Our TOP PICK!
Dixie Kitchen and Bait Shop
5225 S Harper Ave.
Telephone (773) 363-4943

If you're visiting Hyde Park on a week-end and you see a huge line of people on the sidewalk, you've found Dixie Kitchen and Bait Shop. This small roadhouse-style Southern eatery (setting that includes old license plates, rusty aluminum signs, and even an old gas pump). The list of the munchies that keep drawing the crowds includes fried green tomatoes, oyster po' boy sandwiches, jambalaya, country fried steak, baby catfish and pulled pork BBQ. Do not miss the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth corn pancakes. With meals starting at just USD5.95, it is worth the wait. Regardless of how busy they are, the owners always try to pop by to say "Hi".
