I went here to try the chili and ice cream. The staff who assisted me is really nice and knowledgeable. After a few days, my husband and I decided to have lunch here. Everyone is amazing and we loved the food so much. There is no wrong option here because every thing in on the menu is great.

The chili is Always the same; hot, warm and delicous!
Just a great snack on the go,
or if you’re up for it try one of those ‘Monsterous’ ice cream creations! You’ll be just fine till next time!
It’s not really a resturant, nor is it trying to be. It’s a great place for especially adults relive their ‘burger joints’ experiences!

Overall Thoughts: A simple but lengthy trek from Chicago (orange line to Midway then bus), my friends and I initially didn’t intend to dine here but stumbled in after the spot we originally had in mind was closed. We were glad we came though— the vibes were chill, and the staff were so kind and friendly. The food is pretty standard diner / fast food grub, and tasted good. The prices are affordable too, and the portions are large. If I lived in the area, I would probably stop by more often with friends as a chill hangout spot to grab a quick bite or milkshake.
Food I tried:
– Chili (4.5/5): The chili is really delicious! It had tons of flavor and nice textures.
– Polish Sausage Dream Meal (4.2/5): The polish sausage as quite good— I prefer its coarser texture and smokier flavor over a traditional hotdog. I liked the combination of the soft, fresh bun also with the crunchy veggies inside. The fries were crispy and well-fried.
– Chocolate Triple Rich Milkshake (4.2/5): Their shakes/sundaes/ice cream menu is expansive, and everything looked delicious. This milkshake was rich, sweet, and chocolatey, and I liked how they provided an extra bowl with the leftovers too— we love no food waste!

This place is fantastic, the Chili is amazing, fries are delicious, and Ice cream is great. Who would think Chili and Ice cream would go so well together. I always leave happy and with a full belly thinking when can I come back and indulge. Great spot,you gotta stop in.

My favorite item is the old-fashioned banana split. It consists of three scoops of ice cream, bananas, strawberries, fudge, whipped cream, and a vanilla Wafers cookie.
I’ve had excellent service, and sometimes, I take something home. I love your chili and tamales.
They love to embrace the retro look. They are not dated, and none of the booths has holes.
Every booth has its own napkin dispenser
I’ve never experienced a sticky Booth or floor.
They’re quick at cleaning up!.

I ordered a breaded fish sandwich and it was crispy with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. I also had an order of chili cheese fries with jalapenos. The fries were home style fries looked like freshly cut with their homemade chili and cheddar cheese with nacho cheese. It was excellent. I have been here many times but haven’t left a review. It was due.

No, what did you do to the chili? It’s no where near the same. We stopped and brought some home, we ordered no beans, it was gross, big pieces of tomato and the taste was horrible. This is so sad. I’ll never go again!! I give it a zero!!

This was my first visit to Lindy’s in Bridgeview. About 20 years ago, I used to go to the Lindy’s Chili on Archer Avenue at Western.
This is one of those places you MUST put on your bucket list.
The chili is terrific! Have it with or without beans, cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce or Oyster crackers.
This is a hearty chili, unlike the thinner variety I have had at Bishop’s Chili.
We each had a bowl, but also brought home a 5 lb tub of chili to share with friends.
We went there around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon, and the place was empty.
This place certainly brought back memories when I visited it with fellow workers on the south side.
I also had a chocolate malt. It was a little pricey, but worth it!
Location is convenient. Harlem and 87th Street in Bridgeview.
