IL · Cheap eats
Under twenty. Over the odds on quality. Harry ranks them the same way as everything else — Worth It score tells you how much quality you get per pound spent.
Chicago is generous with its cheap eats. The Italian beef sandwich is an institution and costs less than it deserves to. Chinatown has good dim sum at honest prices. The Ukrainian Village bakeries are underrated. A Chicago hot dog with all the accoutrement is one of the best cheap meals in America and anybody who disagrees is wrong.
| Worth It score | Harry's primary filter for cheap eats. Measures quality relative to price — a high Worth It score means the restaurant punches above its price class. Not just cheap; cheap for what you get. |
|---|---|
| Local signal | Tourist cheap eats exist — they're cheap because they can be. Harry cross-references local review signals against tourist sources. A place that locals actually eat at on a Tuesday is different from a TripAdvisor-optimised lunch spot. |
| Harry Score | The composite score from Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic reviews. Even cheap eats need to be good cheap eats — the Worth It score identifies value, the Harry Score confirms quality. |
