How this list works
Every restaurant here carries a recorded mention from Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and sits among the most critically acclaimed restaurants we index in Chicago. Ordering is by total professional critic mentions, not user reviews or star averages.
A city with fewer than 5 recorded Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives restaurants gets no page, so this is a list we can stand behind rather than a page built to exist.
