Nowadays you have to think Mr Ed's of Bucktown is an old person restaurant--its always so nice and warm!

Past old person restaurants imo include Smilie's on Jeff Hwy in Elmwood; Augie's Glass Garden, and of course, the old Sal and Sam's.

what examples do you have.

Augie’s was a go-to spot for high school dances/proms, so I wouldn’t call it an old person restaurant.

Impastato's

It was really good but a throw back for sure. Super crowded right when they open. Great experience

Before he passed away, my dad had me take him regularly to Fury's and Mr. Ed's. If he was feeling adventurous Radostas. Fury's definitely had an older crowd every time.

Chateau Cafe


If this is the place at the corner of the shopping center on Robert E Lee by West End, I never noticed it being old people for breakfast. Later in the day I occasionally pick up a to go salad and didn’t notice that many old folks.

Agree about Mr Ed’s in Bucktown. I used to jog or ride my bike by there often until recently and that parking area would be full at 5:00 PM of the gray ones.

Great place, but not much seating.

I forgot about Giorlandos. Def lot of old people there for dinner, but I do like the food.
Only restaurant that I know that is closed on Saturday evening.
