In Short
Bargain seafood attracts a loyal local following to this casual hangout. Crab cakes are a great way to start off, slathered with zesty Creole tartar sauce. Or try peppery seared tuna in corn taco shells, delicious with squeezed lime. Shrimp po' boy overflows with plump sauteed shrimp; and thick burgers are draped with melted cheese. Beer-battered fries complement perfectly.

The Local Option sort of reminds me of Toon's on Southport - sans the shuffleboard table but plus excellent food and an actual beer selection. If I lived any closer to this neighborhood j0int, my waistline would be in even more trouble than it is. The Local Option serves delicious burgers/sandwiches, great Cajun style seafood (yes, seafood) dishes, even better french fries (I will rarely compliment a restaurant's french fries), and an extensive beer selection (I counted over 60 different drafts/bottles to choose from). The jukebox was down but Hendrix was played for the half full crowd that was looking to unwind in a chill atmosphere on a Wednesday night. Perfect!

This is a place we always go back to. They have some interesting beers, a great atmosphere and a creole inspired bar menu. The steak tacos are amazing but they have some really good salads as well for those who want to eat on the healthy side.

Hands down, the Local Option serves the best burger in all of Chicago, and I'm compairing it to all the over priced steak houses I've eaten at in the city. I highly recomend you go in and taste it. You will not be sorry. Their fries are fantastic as well.
