The food slingers at Chicago Joe’s friendly bar and grill top tables with hearty helpings of 8.5-ounce Cheezeborgers, specialty ribs, and daily seafood specials. Frequented by the likes of Minnie Minoso and Bozo the Clown, the venue has attracted a loyal following with plates such as hearty blackened chicken fingers cooked in drawn butter or browned baby back ribs in a mellow sauce. A duo of daily seafood specials introduces Midwesterners to aqueous fare, such as clams and oysters, easier than setting up an exchange program with whales. As they dine, visitors take in war memorabilia and vintage décor, including stained-glass artwork and seats from the original Comiskey Park, that hearken to Chicago’s past or pay homage to the White Sox.
