Queenie's

1834 Utica Square, 749-3481

Offering the basics like bacon and eggs is never a bad thing; but to get your morning off to a healthy start try Queenie's homemade granola, affectionately called 'Queenola'. For a more interesting version, though, try the breakfast sundae: nonfat plain yogurt, Queenola, fresh fruit and a side of honey.

White River Fish Market

1708 N. Sheridan, 835-1910

You know the seafood counter at your neighborhood market? Well, this place is like that except they'll cook your seafood for you anyway you like it. One cannot help but feel tempted by the fresh selection of oysters and cocktail shrimp as an appetizer. White River offers grilled catfish, swordfish and tuna steak. If the grill's not your game, try the smoked salmon or one of the many fried options like catfish, stuffed crab or clam strips.

Crow Creek Tavern

Usually eating crow is a bad thing but this place is the exception. Crow Creek offers plenty of pub grub classics like fried mushrooms, stuffed jalapenos, cheese sticks and more. If you're looking for something more substantial to go with your brews try the signature Crow Burger or the grilled rib eye steak.
