Janson's Drive-In

This 65-year-old Western Avenue landmark delighted locals by reopening in 2014 (under new ownership) following a two-year hiatus. Today, as ever, it’s the neighborhood place for Chicago-style dogs, cheese fries, milkshakes and other such indulgences. For mid-century modern enthusiasts, the building itself is worth the price of admission; with its pops of orange and turquoise, quirky roofline, and groovy cascading globe lights, it could be a relic of a HoJo motor lodge.
