Oak Street Beachstro

  • September 27, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by c_rau from Denver
An adorable place on right off the Lakeshore bike/run path and on the beach is Oak Street Beachstro. You can't miss those large green umbrellas and palms tree (in Chicago??). Serving pub sandwiches, it's a great place to stop after a day of hanging out on the beach. Service isn't the fastest, but what's your hurry? Besides, that's what happens when this place is busy and the staff is stretched to the limit. If it's hot, get a table with an umbrella or, to keep working on your tan, ask for one of the lounge chairs that line the perimeter of the cafe and sunbathe while a server brings you fruity drinks. The nachos are excellent, with lots of guacamole. The tuna fish sandwich is a cool treat on a hot day, and they give you way too many fries. And get this, they only serve RC cola! I haven't had that since I was 8! Go for the view and the food and be patient with the service and you will enjoy Oak Street Beachstro.
