Restaurant overview

About Gale Street Inn

The Gale Street Inn was established way back in 1963 and is popularly known for its baby back ribs in Chicago’s Jefferson Park locality. In June 2025, this restaurant had closed its doors, but after reopening in December 2025 under different ownerships, it retained its historical name as well as some of its specialties along with bringing in a fresh menu.

Current menu items include slabs of ribs (full and half), walleye, fish and chips, jambalaya, burgers, steak sandwiches, salads, calamari, soups, mac and cheese, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, fries, potatoes, and desserts. In addition to that, the menu has included brunch on weekends and live music.

Whether you are looking for Chicago ribs, a Jefferson Park restaurant, or just an old-fashioned Northwestern Side place with an updated menu, Gale Street Inn will satisfy your needs. It has its own official website with an online reservation system.
