Shilas Restaurant

Chicago

Diner

$$$$

Shilas is everything you want in an old-school, no-frills diner: cheap, tasty, filling, and friendly. The interior looks like an outdated dining room, but we'll give it points for using white tablecloths -- plus, who needs ambiance when this Old Irving neighborhood favorite has all your favorite diner classics, including flavorful skillets, scrumptious pancakes, and a smiley staff that always keeps your coffee warm. Not to mention, the prices are low enough to make you forget the drab decor entirely.
