Metra station takes you downtown in 10 minutes. Recommend this over the Green line off of Cottage because it is cleaner and just feels safer to me.

It's a newer trendy Italian style restaurant with great ambience and bar with tasty drinks. A bit pricer about $$$ but well worth it if you like Italian. Checkout review on Timeout

This Middle Eastern stalwart isn’t much to look at. But does that stop students, professors, townies and anybody else from packing the place? No. And here’s why: The falafel is fried crisp, the hummus is pureed smooth, and the shawarma is sliced thin. It’s all dropped off at your table with almost alarming speed, which makes it maybe not the best place for a romantic, lingering dinner. But this is U. of C. territory—who has time for romance when there’s Heidegger to read?

Great soul food cooking here but it's cafeteria style so you have got to be ready to order when you hit the line! I go here when I ready to eat fast or want takeout. Takeout is easy and prices are very reasonable like $7 for main course. President Obama says he always comes here when he is in town.

You’ll smell it the second you walk into the restaurant—that wood-burning scent is the hearth, the pride and joy of the Promontory, a new Hyde Park spot from the Longman & Eagle team. The restaurant bills itself as “hearth-to-table,” a phrase that means they’ll cook the food over a big fireplace located in the back of the dining room, and bring it to your table.

Love deli food with lots of meat like I do? Then you have to checkout Bergstein's NY Deli. The address shows the suburban location but there is now one in Hyde Park which would not come up in Google. The address is 1164 E. 55th St.
