Nothing fancy, just great food

11/21/2006 Posted by carlson_b

Despite the Michigan Ave location, this restaurant has a mix of business people and locals in addition to the tourists. As far as basic comfort food goes, it doesn't get much better than Bandera - I love the cornbread and coleslaw and as far as entrees go I really haven't ever had anything that wasn't very good. If you're on Michigan Ave, this is one of the best sit-down places to go.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Usually a wait

For lunch, call ahead and arrive before noon to avoid long waits. The wait at dinner is less of a hassle, as there's plenty of room at the bar.
