Great food, great service, and one of the few places that still does a proper banana shake.

I ordered a breaded fish sandwich and it was crispy with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. I also had an order of chili cheese fries with jalapenos. The fries were home style fries looked like freshly cut with their homemade chili and cheddar cheese with nacho cheese. It was excellent. I have been here many times but haven't left a review. It was due.

Overall Thoughts: A simple but lengthy trek from Chicago (orange line to Midway then bus), my friends and I initially didn’t intend to dine here but stumbled in after the spot we originally had in mind was closed. We were glad we came though— the vibes were chill, and the staff were so kind and friendly. The food is pretty standard diner / fast food grub, and tasted good. The prices are affordable too, and the portions are large. If I lived in the area, I would probably stop by more often with friends as a chill hangout spot to grab a quick bite or milkshake.Food I tried:- Chili (4.5/5): The chili is really delicious! It had tons of flavor and nice textures.- Polish Sausage Dream Meal (4.2/5): The polish sausage as quite good— I prefer its coarser texture and smokier flavor over a traditional hotdog. I liked the combination of the soft, fresh bun also with the crunchy veggies inside. The fries were crispy and well-fried.- Chocolate Triple Rich Milkshake (4.2/5): Their shakes/sundaes/ice cream menu is expansive, and everything looked delicious. This milkshake was rich, sweet, and chocolatey, and I liked how they provided an extra bowl with the leftovers too— we love no food waste!—Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5Food: 4.3/5Ambience: 4.8/5Overall Value: 4.5/5

This was my first visit to Lindy's in Bridgeview. About 20 years ago, I used to go to the Lindy's Chili on Archer Avenue at Western.This is one of those places you MUST put on your bucket list.The chili is terrific! Have it with or without beans, cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce or Oyster crackers.This is a hearty chili, unlike the thinner variety I have had at Bishop's Chili.We each had a bowl, but also brought home a 5 lb tub of chili to share with friends.We went there around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon, and the place was empty.This place certainly brought back memories when I visited it with fellow workers on the south side.I also had a chocolate malt. It was a little pricey, but worth it!Location is convenient. Harlem and 87th Street in Bridgeview.

Loved the food, fried could've used a bit of salt but wasn't complaining because they went REALLY well with the Angus Burger. Chilly was balanced and satisfying to eat. Definitely recommend. Best part the restaurant is friendly for your wallet.
