The Best Restaurants Near Navy Pier - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Move over seagulls, Navy Pier has a new mascot: the fried chicken from this farmhouse-chic Southern spot. The crispy, salty skin has plenty of craggy batter bits, and the meat has excellent juiciness. But this restaurant decked out in chicken-themed art has other great dishes like grits with shrimp and andouille sausage, and crispy hushpuppies served with pimento cheese and pepper jelly. Reunion’s location by the pier’s front entrance makes it a hot spot for tourists and workers hanging out for happy hour, but it’s easy to grab a spot in their large dining room or patio." - adrian kane
