Family Friendly

Rated by Chicago Magazine in April 2004 as one of the most "child friendly" restaurants in Chicago and in March 2009 by the Reader as the best place to take toddlers, WISHBONE is a way for families to not feel treated as second class citizens while dining out . . . or left to the mercy of "family" chain restaurants and indigestion. The intention is that kids should be introduced to an adult experience of dining out--rather than adults more commonly being subjected to a designed "children's environment" and less than memorable food.

For one, Southern Cooking* is readily accessible to all age groups: from grandparents to infants. From real macaroni and cheese (made with 4 cheeses) to chicken and vegetable dishes that are made from scratch, the regular fare is immediately appreciated by even the most parochial tastes.

For the more adventurous or older children, there are plenty of dishes from the adult menu to choose from--customized by choosing your own vegetable side dishes. For the others, Wishbone offers a special Children's Menu available for breakfast, lunch and dinner (till the 7 PM "adult swim").

Of equal importance is an art-filled environment, a diverse clientele, friendly, casual service . . . and indestructible floors!

Drop by and see for yourselves.

*In doing a healthier take on a traditional regional cooking, we also provide vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy conscious choices to young and old.
