Great South Loop Diner

Howie’s is everything you expect from a neighborhood diner.

  • Plenty of variety – ranging from grilled cheese to salads to breakfast all day
  • Good prices and lunch specials (about $5)
  • Quick dining
  • Convenient location near the Roosevelt El stop – Couple blocks south of Roosevelt on Wabash

I love that you just order your food and find a seat. For a diner, you basically just want to get some food and it’s much better when you don’t have to wait for the slow wait staff. Just order, get your number, then watch tv while waiting for your food.

While the food quality isn’t top notch, it hits the spot when you’re looking for a quick meal.

Dishes I tried:

Cheesy Beef

The beef was a little tough, but there was a good amount of it with a thick cap of melted cheese. You can make it a combo (fries and drink) for $2 bucks more. It adds up, but it hits the spot.
