Highway House

I had the burger which comes with fries. The burger was fresh and cooked just right. The toppings were fresh. I did ask for ketchup, but it wasn't on or with my meal, not a big deal as I had some at home. The fries were excellent. Fresh cut potatoes, and whatever amazing oil they fried them was too notch! The only thing this burger and fries could have used was a coleslaw. I guess that is an extra item not included. The person behind the bar was friendly. It's a typical bar and grill atmosphere inside. The only negative may have been the gambling machines, probably should be hidden in the back. I would return again. Bicycling: It's right on Northwest Highway which has a bike lane. It's also off a side street which is also conformable for riding. There seems to be places to lock up the bikes. They also have outside dining, which is a plus.

The food is great scratch kitchen cooking. The bar is one of those awesome old Chicago bars, and the outdoor patio is lovely on a nice day. My Dad has been a regular for years. When he could no longer drive, he didn't stop in for a few weeks for his usual chili and a beer. The owner and staff noticed his absence and called his house to make sure he was OK. Where else will you ever go that would do that? These people are the real deal. It's just a good solid place. We love them!

What a fantastic little local place! The homemade mushroom soup was to die for! Homemade pita chips with the meat and cheese plate and homemade tortilla chips with the salmon tacos. Beautiful patio dining in a quiet little neighborhood.
