MacArthur's on W. Madison (Hi, Kenji!) is superb.  Lard is the preferred seasoning, IIRC.

There's a new place in Evanston called, I think,  "Homestyle" at the corner (or near there) of Emerson & Dodge.  Haven't tried it yet, just heard about it yesterday but hope to check it out this weekend.  I'll post a review when I do get there. I heard about it from a writeup in the "Evanston Roundtable"  they are on-line at www.evanstonroundtable.com but don't have the latest issue on line yet.

Yup Eric has the winner.

Leave enough room for their homemade desserts.

There's a small parking lot next door,East of the restaurant.

Edna's on Madison and about Kedzie would be a nice place for a small group also. I have been there maybe 5 times. It's a plateau above Gladys:
