The 14 Best Restaurants Near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport (ORD) | Eater Chicago
"Chicago-style barbecue exists in several forms. For true smoke, head toward the South Side during an extended trip for rib tips cooked in an aquarium smoker. Since O’Hare is nowhere close to the South Side, try nearby Jefferson Park, home to one of the city’s best neighborhood restaurants. Gale Street Inn serves baby-back ribs, which were popularized in the ’80s in North Side communities. They aren’t fall-off-the-bone tender, but they are a highlight of this popular family restaurant that’s endured more than five decades. The restaurant is off the CTA Blue Line Jefferson Park stop." - Ashok Selvam
