A few others:

Piece is a pretty good pizza/brewpub-type place.

If you have a car and are a beer lover, an outing to Three Floyds in Munster, IN (maybe an hour's drive) is not to be missed. People travel here from overseas. Many times rated #1 or #2 brewery in the world. Their Zombie Dust is considered by many (including me) to be probably the #1 American Pale Ale in the world; simply perfection IMO. They have quite good food. Don't go late on the weekend or you will never get in. And they are a bit a-holish, but what can you do?

Calumet Fisheries at 95th (at the bridge jumped in the movie "Blues Brothers") has really good onsite-smoked fish/shrimp. Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" did a piece on it (can find online).
