Chicago restaurant rankings
Top Sales
23 Chicago places are on the Top published sales list in the web version of Chicago Restaurants: Ranked (not counting airports, stadiums, cafeterias and other non-restaurants). Here they all are, in the list’s own order.
How it’s ranked
Only places whose yearly sales were publicly reported, about two dozen in all. Most restaurants don't publish sales. Each figure is the latest year published for that place, so the years differ; each row shows its year. “est.” means the publisher estimated the figure; “approx.” means the company gave a rounded figure.
Our 0–100 score and A–F grade, calculated from City of Chicago inspection records since January 2023. Not official City grades: the City reports Pass, Pass w/ Conditions or Fail. An inspection describes conditions on the day of the visit.
City records through . About once a week we rebuild the data from the City’s newest public records, and these pages with it. Source: City of Chicago Food Inspections on the Chicago Data Portal. Each place’s page in the web version links to its own City inspection records.
