Cy's Crab House North

Just across the street is a legendary crab house known as Bob Chinn's. I have never been to Bob Chinn's. Why have I never been to Bob Chinn's? Because there is always a line at Bob Chinn's that seems to stretch longer than a line waiting to get onto a ride at Great America. If the place across the street is packed I suggest you take a walk to this classy, quiet place. I love the food here. What's more, I love the non-seafood here. I get the lamb chops when I go here and I have never been disappointed. There menu is excellent, the crab delicious and the selection of seafood extensive. It's a quieter, fancier place than Bob's appears to be. It's kind of hidden within the shadows of Bob Chinn's, but it's worth finding. Try it out, no lines, great crab. more

Cy's Crab House is just a few miles north of Bob Chinn's but they are a world apart. The sign outside says it all, "Our Quality is our Difference." Don't get me wrong, I like Bob Chinn's but I think that Cy's is more relaxed, and better quality. They have daily specials that are worth coming in to try. It is a clean and and well run restaurant and I enjoy it each time I come to Chicago. more
