"An Eagle Rock diner known for its interior appearance in a Super Bowl ad for Poppi soda." - Mona Holmes
"Cindy’s in the Loop has one of the best panoramic views of everything that makes this city great. It’s located on the roof of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, and because this place is incredibly busy there can be an hour-long wait just for the elevator. But once you’re upstairs, you’re rewarded with an unbeatable view of the illuminated skyscrapers (during the day, the twinkling skyline is traded for the beautiful view overlooking Millennium Park and Lake Michigan). Aside from its fantastic view, this airy, greenhouse-like bar also has good cocktails. The food probably won’t blow you away, but the atmosphere makes up for it." - veda kilaru
"This restaurant on top of the Chicago Athletic Association hotel has beautiful views overlooking Millennium Park and Lake Michigan. And it's a great place for groups, as the menu has dishes meant to be shared among three or four people. Come here for brunch and get a giant serving of stuffed french toast, or half roasted chicken for dinner. The food won’t blow you away, but the atmosphere makes up for it." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"If you're interested in having a solo meal that doesn’t involve cousin Dan’s rant about ChatGPT controlling humans, make a reservation at Cindy’s. Besides a special a la carte Thanksgiving menu with seasonal options, they’re offering a $45 “Thanksgiving Plate For One.” It comes with cider-brined roasted turkey breast and sides like brioche stuffing, cranberry relish, and truffle gravy. With zero dishes, zero arguments, and zero leftovers to dole out, you can focus all of your energy on enjoying one of Chicago’s best views. The meal: Thanksgiving-specific a la carte menu, plus a $45 “Thanksgiving Plate For One”" - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"Open since 1948, Cindy’s is an Eagle Rock landmark where the atmosphere is better than the food itself. That’s not to say the food at this revamped retro diner is bad, it’s just that the atmosphere is tough to beat. There’s a long linoleum bar facing the kitchen where neighborhood people congregate to eat omelets and grumble about potholes. The big orange booths are usually filled with people eating carrot cake and doing crosswords together. Cindy’s has also been the backdrop for countless movies and TV shows, ranging from Surviving Christmas to Parenthood, making it a good spot for out-of-towners who enjoy that sort of thing." - Brant Cox
