"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"After hearing rave reviews for this place, we made it a must see one evening when we were taking a walking tour of Lincoln Park and Old Town. The restaurant is a wonderful out of the way place on a residential...."

"Twin Anchors is the closest to a supper club I've found in Chicago. The place has been around since 1932 and the interior looks like something from the '50s with its checkerboard linoleum tile and red vinyl chairs...."

"The neighborhood surrounding Twin Anchors was once rough around the edges, but these days the former speakeasy's customers are more likely to pack cell phones and Blackberrys than gats. The proprietors run a tight ship with friendly, efficient service and..."

"People have come to this wood-paneled Old Town rib house since 1932. If it's not baby-back ribs but beef you want, try a burger, the filet mignon or the New York Strip Steak...."

"A landmark in Old Town since the end of Prohibition, Twin Anchors manages to maintain the flavor of old Chicago. It's a friendly, family-owned pub with Frank Sinatra on the jukebox and on the walls (he apparently hung out here on swings through town in th..."

"An Old Town fixture since 1932, this neighborhood bar-restaurant has so many loyal customers you'd think they all owned a piece of the action. Among elders, Twin Anchors gets the Best Jukebox Selections in a Bar award (mostly early Sinatra) hands down...."

"Located in an historic Old Town building that dates back to 1881, Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern is one of the oldest restaurants in the city of Chicago. Since its founding in 1932, Twin Anchors has always been known for great, tender, barbequed bab..."

"Call it rundown, call it vintage, but fans of the famed Old Town restaurant call it the best barbecue joint in the city. Even after more than 50 years in business, Twin Anchors continues to draw diners who are willing to wait more than an hour for a table..."

"Housed in a 19th century building, this joint has been famous for its true-blue American grub since the early 1900's. It has been spruced up since then, and the façade is composed of a red brick wall, with a brightly colored awning...."
