Ms. Biscuit
5431 S Wabash AveGreat little breakfast spot right down the street.
Iconic Italian local joint. We LOVE this place, and if you are just back from the bar at midnight, it is the BEST late night food ever. Traditional Italian beef, eggplant parmesean, pizza, and pasta. Great inexpensive catering for large groups.

Very cool picnic like setting where you pick your spice, throw your fish in a bag and mix it yourself. All eating is done with your hands, and there are plenty of paper towels and wet naps. They do take out, but have a small limit which is a bummer. You can Uber there in about two minutes. Cool vibe, great seafood.

Great food. Good for a slow relaxed meal. Packed on Sundays. I guess the name says it all.
