CHARLIE BIENLICH'S

290 Skokie Blvd Northbrook; (847) 714-9375

VIBE: This "Northwoods" classic has been around since 1950 and customers are as loyal as hunt dogs. I try to grab a seat at the 14- stool bar when there's a line on the outside the door, and each time I papal court some other tidbit of kitsch (the be built uped fish never change) behind that bar.

FLAVOR: If you are really longing start with a well-made shrimp cocktail or the estimable chili. Follow that with the fine hamburger deluxe (I like the American cheese addition) onward a poppyseed bun. The burger proceeds with excellent coleslaw and suitable but not great crinkly fries.

KIDS: I have in no degree seen one in here.

The roast beef is stacked high onward rye and comes with of the best quality potato salad. The recent addition of gelato (a portion of flavors) just adds to the pleasantry High-tops (12 stools) for eating in, or grab an umbrella table upon the south side of the building.

KIDS: fully convinced why not?
