Best American Restaurants in Chicago

Smyth tops the list with Michelin Three Stars and a 50 Best nod, and Oriole's Two Stars aren't far behind. Feld, Boka, EL ideas, and Sepia round out the One Star run, with Virtue adding a James Beard win to the mix. Drop down and the depth shows — nine Bib Gourmands and nineteen Michelin Selected spots fill out thirty-nine Damn Good listings. This is Chicago American cooking from the top of the city's food scene down through its steady workhorses.
