The merging of two Chicago icons
Gertie's Ice Cream dates to 1901. Lindy's Chili dates to 1924. In 1974, businessman Joseph Yesutis came up with the idea of merging the two Chicago icons and blending two delicious concepts, hot chili and cold ice cream. So he bought both businesses. Now there are seven locations in the Chicago area. My wife and I stopped at the original Lindy's, at 3685 South Archer, across the street from McKinley Park, not too far from the Chicago White Sox's park. Open from 10:30 to 10 daily, Lindy's Chili and Gertie's Ice Cream offers the best of both worlds, the best chili and the best hot fudge sundae. But that's not all. We sampled the chili dog, a pure beef hot dog covered with chili on a steamed poppy seed bun; Best's Kosher hot dog, an all-beef hot dog with tomato, relish, onions and pickle on a steamed poppy seed bun; a quarter-pound cheeseburger with fries, lettuce, tomato, pickle, ketchup, mustard and Spanish onions on a toasted sesame seed bun; a breaded fish sandwich, deep fried cod filet with lettuce, tomato and pickle on a toasted sesame seed bun; a chocolate Boston soda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream, pecans, chopped nuts, a Nabisco and a cherry; and an old-fashioned banana split with scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream topped with strawberries, pineapple and chocolate toppings with whipped cream, coconut, nuts and a cherry. And we went home with a chocolate milk shake and a strawberry milk shake. Besides hot dogs and burgers and shakes and banana splits, Gertie's also offers malts, sundaes, floats, sodas, phosphates and yogurt. Other locations are at 76th and Pulaski, 111th and Kedzie, 6544 South Archer, 87th and Harlem, 100 Commercial Drive in Morris and 6510 Joliet Road in Countryside. Be forewarned. Bring a good appetite. It's comfort food at its finest.

Muy buena comida fresca. Se ve que la cosinan al instante tal ves por eso es un poco tardado pero yo prefiero mi comida fresca a quesea comida precosinada normalmente el tiempo de una orden se tarda de 10 a 15 minutos so. Yo pienso que mucha gente nosabe y piensan que solo están eyos eso pasa I no es gusto yo voy asta 3 veses por semana yo pienso que antes de comentar algo in gusto deven de pensar y no ser racistas Grasias

Ole memory!
Went to Lindy's for lunch recently with my dad(89 years young) who use to take my mother to Lindy's after a long bike ride. Yes they still have chili and ice cream but that's it. I got the croc of chili which was a bowl. My dad had bacon and eggs that included beans and rice. The quality of the food and service were good and I will return, but it is not the Lindy's I remember.

I walked in one day and was looked at up and down. I knew it was racial discrimination, especially when I was asked for 3 forms of identification at the bar. The dirty looks and service I received made me never go back. Sad thing is, that I live two blocks away. I'm a proud Garfield Ridge community member. I can't believe racist places like that still exist in Chicago.

Fries were uncooked, it took 30 mins for a hamburger and my hotdog which they claim was Vienna Beef but tasted like a whatever was on sale at Jewel was served within 5 mins with more uncooked fried. Music so loud you could barely hear. I will never go back. I took chili home and am afraid to even eat it.
