720 Clark St (btwn Sherman Ave & Orrington Ave), Evanston, IL
Diner · 28 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The milkshake is everything a milkshake should be: creamy, thick, and whichever one of the three flavors (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) you prefer.
Jake Smith: Just follow Pink Floyd's advice: "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, get the burger called the Dark Side of the Moon."
618 Church Ave (btwn Chicago Ave & Orrington Ave), Evanston, IL
French Restaurant · 16 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: Go for the Gnocchi Parisienne, which combines French-style gnocchi with pulled lamb shoulder, lamb au jus, and stewed tomatoes. A well-thought out, "home-run" dish.
521 Davis St (btwn Chicago Ave & Hinman Ave), Evanston, IL
Asian Restaurant · 84 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The lunch specials last until 3:30, offering a wide range of Asian dishes in addition to a small cup of soup and and egg roll for under $10.00.
Jake Smith: Once you get over the initial shock of eating with your hands (it's actually pretty awesome!), I recommend ordering either the Zilzil Tibs or Doro Tibs entree.
Jake Smith: Order an old fashioned and enjoy the atmosphere. The ambiance (especially the music selection) makes you feel like you're in Paris in the 1960s.
Jake Smith: The Smokey BBQ sauce is a fantastic addition to any chicken meal. You can choose to get your chicken tossed in it prior to packaging, or you can get containers of sauce to go.
Jake Smith: The Medieval is a delicious roast beef bagel sandwich (get it heated up), but make sure you have a breath mint; garlic cream cheese + onion = breath catastrophe.
Jake Smith: The Grilled Chicken sandwich was unexceptional. I suggest sticking with the hot dogs, burgers, and fries. Those items are what made this place "the champ."
1571 Sherman Ave (at Davis & Orrington), Evanston, IL
Italian Restaurant · 11 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: If you get here in time for lunch, order the Chicken Parm sandwich; the portion is huge compared to other dishes, making it a great value. Plus, it's delicious.
Jake Smith: They have an awesome (and ever-changing) appetizer menu. Give it a glance, I'm sure you'll find something you like (i.e. Sauteed Crab Cakes).
