| Where To Eat At Chicago Midway Airport |
The Quick Bites
If you're short on time and long on hunger (or just plain hangry), these joints are your best bet:
Big & Little's: This place is a taco lover's dream come true. Their fish tacos are like a little taste of paradise in the concrete jungle that is Midway. But beware, the lines can be longer than a Kardashian's engagement.
Vienna Beef: For a classic Chicago experience, grab a hot dog. Just remember, if you don't know what a "dragged through the garden" hot dog is, you're doing it wrong.
Big City Chicken: Craving crispy, juicy fried chicken? Look no further. This spot will satisfy your poultry desires. Just don't wear your good clothes.
The Sit-Down Spots
If you've got a bit more time to kill (and cash to spend), these places offer a more leisurely dining experience:

Harry Caray's: This place is all about baseball and basic Italian food. It's like your grandpa's favorite sports bar, but with airplane noise.
Giordano's: Deep dish pizza is Chicago's claim to fame, and Giordano's is one of the big players. Be prepared to share (or be really hungry).
Drinks and Relaxation
Need to unwind before your flight? These spots offer liquid courage and comfy seating:
Reilly's Daughter: This Irish pub is a great place to grab a pint and watch the world (or at least the airport) go by.
