Lindy's Chili & Gertie's Ice Cream

Chicago has 86 diner listings on SiteCity, and they cluster in a few zip codes worth knowing before you start calling around. The 60657 zip code carries 7 listings, more than any other area, with 60622 close behind at 5. If you're near Lincoln Park or Wicker Park, start there and work outward through 60609, 60614, and 60618, each holding 4 listings, rather than scrolling the full list in order.

Most entries here are usable right away: 83 listings include a phone number and 80 link to a website, so dialing or clicking through rarely hits a dead end. No listing in this category is tagged Sponsored, since paid placement hasn't launched for diners in Chicago yet, so what you see reflects SiteCity's records rather than any promoted spot. If you manage one of these diners and the phone field or site link is blank, you can claim the listing and enter the correct details yourself, which spares the next hungry visitor a wasted trip. Call two or three in your target zip before deciding where to eat.
