The Chicago Diner, Lakeview

Set inside a retro diner on North Halsted Street, the kitchen turns out a completely meat-free menu designed to satisfy vegetarians and carnivores alike. The lineup leans directly into heavyweight diner fare, serving up seitan wings, vegan cheesesteaks, massive loaded burgers, hearty all-day breakfast plates, and a Reuben noted for holding its own against traditional meat versions.
