Eat, Shop and Explore in and around Elmwood Park

Two of the Chicago area’s best-known family food stops are in Elmwood Park, and a planetarium is next door in River Grove.

Dining Out

  • Johnnie’s Beef - A counter-service Italian beef stand at 7500 W North Ave that has served Elmwood Park for more than 60 years - famous for its beef and its lemon ice.
  • Russell’s Barbecue - A family tradition at 1621 N Thatcher Ave since 1930, often called the oldest barbecue restaurant in the Chicago area.

Things to Do

  • Cernan Earth and Space Center - Triton College’s planetarium and space center at 2000 Fifth Avenue in neighboring River Grove, with shows for families and school groups.
  • Thatcher Woods - The Cook County forest preserve along Thatcher Avenue and the Des Plaines River, just south of the village, with picnic groves and trails.

Group tip: Johnnie’s Beef is counter service only - send two people in to order for the van. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans are about 10.5 ft tall, so park in open-air lots, not parking garages.
