Historic Route 66
Lou Mitchell's Restaurant, IL

Since 1923, Lou Mitchell's Restaurant has been serving some of the greatest food Chicago has to offer. In the early 1930s the restaurant moved to its current location and solidified its position as one of the icons of Chicago and Route 66. The building is an ideal example of classic diner-restaurant architecture and the service is reminiscent of the culture of Route 66. Complimentary donuts are served to guests while they wait, though ladies only receive a pack of Milk Duds.
