The original Chicago Fire is here. Do not let name fool you, because their thin crust pizza options are not to be messed with. They have great salads, drinks, a patio, and most importantly, a great week day happy hour.

Karen's is the best. They are a delicious bakery and they have a full kitchen. They hit it out of the park with their breakfast and lunch menus. The only bummer is that they are close at 4 and on Sundays. Treat yourself to a slice of their Almond Polenta Pound Cake and a latte on their patio.
