Dove's Luncheonette

Diner · Wicker Park

"When it comes to Dove’s in Wicker Park, the “FF” part of SCRPRTCUWFF is particularly important—most of the first-come, first-served seating at this Mexican and Southern diner is counter space. So unless you want to play a game of side-by-side telephone, or you somehow snag the only table in the triangular space, showing up with three people at most is ideal. That way you can still catch up while eating fried chicken smothered in chorizo gravy or slices of massive vegetarian tlayudas. Though Dove’s is typically a breakfast and lunch spot, they also have a Dove’s After Dark dinner service on Monday, Friday, and Saturday, which has a rotating menu of dishes like steak fajitas or shrimp with chipotle-mezcal salsa." - adrian kane, john ringor
