As far as tasty ribs go, GSI has superior quality to Twin Anchors there is no question. Unfortunately, GSI is not located in the middle of a thriving urban area like Twin Anchors. Don't get me wrong I love Twin Anchors as a solid #2.

Best ribs, sauce very good. Wait staff a little pushy though. Maybe a new waiter, we wanted to take our time and he didn't quite get it, even after we told him. Bartender was excellent, very attentive and martinis were good.

Gale Street has great food and atmosphere it was a nice place to meet for a party!

These were the best ribs that I have had in Chicago yet and the prices were great. I went on a Friday night at around 7pm and only had a 15 minute wait which was nice considering the hour long waits at some of the other restaurants in Chicago. An additional bonus was the parking next door. A great experience and I will definitely go back the next time I am in the mood for ribs.

Gale Street Inn on Chicago's NW side is another one of those excellent restaurants that's been around for a long time that's still relatively unknown or considered "un-hip" for "cultured" Chicagoans because its located west of the Chicago river. How nice for the rest of us! I challenge those of you who try this place to find: a. more tender, slide-off-the-bone ribs, b. prompt, friendly, unpretentious service, and c. value for your money. From 4 to 6 on weekdays, imagine eating fresh bread, delicious soup/ salad, a 1st rate main course w/ choice of potato, and dessert and wind up only spending roughly $15-20 with tip (1 person)? Furthermore, their steaks and seafood have been equally up to par in terms of quality.
