Chicago, IL

A good dinner spot in the River North area

A rib place so good, so renowned, so classic, that their website is ribs.com. Carson's Ribs, at the corner of Wells & Ontario, serves classic Southern grub at reasonable prices. The baby backs were very tasty- ask for extra sauce on the side- they don't put enough on! The twice-baked potato is probably the least healthy, but most delicious side. You can walk in and order carry out, and only wait about 10 minutes. It's valet parking only at night, but the valet won't charge you.
