Chicago’s Best Restaurants To Order Takeout

3LP has three locations with tasty Chinese American food. | Aliya Ikhumen/Eater Chicago
It can feel good to get dressed up and head out to a beautiful restaurant, but when the weather is awful, or it’s been a long day, there’s nothing wrong with crashing on the couch for a meal at home. Dining in can be just as delicious as going out, and it’s a convenient way to try food from popular spots that don’t take reservations. Chicago also has plenty of businesses that only serve food for carryout and delivery, which makes for the perfect excuse to stay in. We’ve excluded pizzerias from this map because that’s low-hanging fruit.
The June 2025 update features a variety of adds, including Trilokah, a Lincoln Park Indian restaurant; Green Street Smoked Meats, and Gangnam Market, the pan Asian grocery store with a killer food court.
Check out Eater Chicago’s list of the best local spots for dining to go.
