Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern

Best ribs!
This place gets busy so plan ahead. Even on a Wednesday night there will be a 45 minute wait. It's worth it.

Complimentary bread looked bland and old but who comes for bread. At our table we ordered the ahi tuna, the grilled chicken, and a few slabs of ribs with a couple different sauces. The ribs are soooo yummy. They fall right off the bone and have a great bbq sauce and base flavor. The best sauce we tasted was definitely the prohibition sauce, must try that one! Fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious. The ahi tuna was good but the star here is by far the ribs. Get-the-ribs! Well, the chicken is amazing too.

One of my favorites!
I simply can not get sick of this place! Absolutely the best ribs in the city, along with a great burger or the pulled pork. Whatever you do, make sure you get the Prohibition BBQ sauce!

Before we moved to Chicago, some friends who used to live here recommended Twin Anchors for the Ribs.   We decided to hoof it up to Lincoln Park and honestly, if we lived in the neighborhood, this would be the PERFECT bar to hang out in all the time.   The atmosphere is just homey, in a neighborhood of brownstones, on tree lined streets a few blocks west of Lincoln Park.   The ribs were good but maybe we just prefer the dry rub to the moist BBQ sauces.     BUT    I had a cheeseburger, that was cooked REALLY MEDIUM like I USED to order it, but they rarely serve it anymore because of everyones fear of undercooked meats.  I kid you not, it was by far the best hamburger I think, I have ever eaten.   It was so thick and delicious.  I ordered it with grilled onions and I honestly would have liked to sit there for another hour or so until I was hungry again so I could finish it.  It was awesome!   Beers were cold.  Service was SUPER professional, although I don't know if I'd call it friendly, I totally  don't care.  It was GOOD EATS!
