At first I wasn't sure about this place from walking past the first time, but the next day I saw a large tour group gathered outside and talking about the history Old Town area. I decided to stop in for a take out lunch and loved the ambiance inside. The service was very welcoming and prompt. I made my order and had a lemonade while I waited near the bar. I read about the history from the website. The food was delicious. So good, I had my husband go back the next day.

Excellent food and exceptional service. Server was very attentive and very engaging. Great place to go.

Always great ribs. Lovely hostess. Probably need to hire more /new servers. Should call last call before the bar is suddenly shut at 10pm at weekends when people are visiting and have spent quite a lot of money.

Oh those ribs are just so good! It's a neighborhood staple for a reason. They do what they do so well that nothing has changed in a million years nor should it. It's got an old school nostalgic charm that makes it so special. There may not be any frills here, but there doesn't need to be. I just dream about the ribs, that sauce and the delicious creamed spinach. Last time I was in, I ordered the half slab and immediately regret it as soon as I finished. Don't be like me. Get the full slab. You know you'll eat it!

Came in with my parents a few weeks ago for dinner, and after leaving.. I definitely decided this will not be my last visit! Waitress was super friendly, even the bartenders working while we were waiting for our table were awesome to chat with. This place has a really cool inside, I love how old school the vibes are but you can tell they really know their food too. To eat, I ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich, and my parents got the pulled pork and the burger. We loved our dishes! Fries were excellent to. We were told not to skip on the ribs so that will be our order next time :) Such a cool vibe in here that is pretty rare to still find in Chicago. I hope this place never changes.

I enjoyed trying this iconic Chicago spot! We first sat at the bar while we waited for our table and enjoyed the old school ambiance and decor. They have a great cocktail list, wines, and beers. I tried an elderflower spritz, Sauvignon blanc, and Pinot noir throughout the evening. We started with the creamed spinach dip to share, and this was delicious. The chips were nice and fried too. I shared the full slab of ribs with the prohibition sauce and zesty sauce on the side to try. Both were delicious, but we all preferred the prohibition sauce. The ribs were super tender and tasty. We also had green beans as our side, and these were tasty as well. Service was great and prices very reasonable! Definitely recommend this spot for an iconic Chicago experience.

We stumbled into this spot walking around the neighborhood, and it was cool to learn that it is quite famous. There are a few movies that were filmed here, and one of them being one of my favorite films of all time - The Dark Knight. If you have a ticket stub from that movie, bring that along to your visit to Twin Anchors and you will be rewarded with something. Onto the food, the ribs were fall off the bone tender. The spicy BBQ is unique and flavorful. The chicken was juicy and filling. Can't go wrong with ordering this half rib half chicken dish. A must try is the chilli too.

Seems to be a Chicago staple. On a Saturday afternoon on NYE weekend, there was a line waiting for the doors to open at noon. The menu is sparse; simple but well done. Ribs, chicken, a handful of salads and apps...seems like it's successfully remained the same for some time. The Prohibition sauce had more kick to it than I prefer in my bbq sauce, but everyone else at my table really enjoyed theirs. Service was okay. I wouldnt come back for the food or service; but I would come back for the vibes. Maybe I'll sit at the bar next time.
