We gave my inlaws a list for their 50th anniversary dinner and they chose Lindy's & Gertie's in Bridgeview. I was wondering if they would live up to the memories of the last time I was there......

Business description (2)

In 1974, businessman Joseph Yesutis fulfilled a life-long dream by purchasing the Lindy's Chili Company and the Gertie's Ice Cream Company. This dream, however, did not include putting the two concepts together. Only after analyzing the unique qualities of each business did he conceive of his remarkable innovation.
Lindy's Chili was drawing huge lunch and dinner crowds, but slowed in the...

Gertie's started serving ice cream in 1901, and Lindy's started serving chili in 1924. In the mid-1970s, a local entrepreneur purchased both businesses and combined them into a legendary Chicago chain. Tasty chili is reportedly made from the original recipe, and creamy ice-cream treats include banana splits made with real fruit. Open daily 10 am-11 pm. -

Tips about this business (2)

Know Before You Go: Although this joint is already affordable, kids (and their paying parents) further benefit from a downsized children's menu. Those 12 and under can grab cups of chili, grilled cheese and cheeseburgers for under $4. Specially priced sundaes ring in at under $2.
