Ed Debevic's

American · Chicago, IL · $$

The notorious Ed Debevic’s was opened in 1984 and has been renowned as Chicago’s most famous retro themed diner ever since. Famously known for its snarky service & 1950s throwback decor, Ed’s quickly became a fun & unique staple in the culinary world. Now re-opened after a brief hiatus, the brand new Ed Debevic’s is shinier, tastier, and sassier than ever before. Make your reservation today; you’re guaranteed to be blown away by our neon adorned walls, tasty burgers, and lack of charm! If you’re looking for a traditional dining experience, you’ve gotten yourself into a boatload of trouble. Quirky servers in flashy costumes serve up great burgers, jumbo wieners, cheese fries, huge salads, milkshakes, and The World's Smallest Ice Cream Sundae – all delivered to your glittery booth with a side order of sass. Don’t expect this diner to be a “Please” and “Thank You” kind of place, or you might just get your feelings hurt! The servers are encouraged to create characters – ranging from jocks, to beauty school dropouts, to greasers, to nerds – and are even known to drop their trays and break into choreographed dance numbers on top of the soda counters!
