Discover Elgin
Elgin reflects the American heartland and its food culture in many ways. The city takes pride in its historic past yet boldly embraces diversity and change, evident in the wide array of dining and recreational options available here. Pizza is big in Chicago, and Elgin restaurants do not disappoint, serving up a unique concoction called pizza puff alongside cheesy deep-dish. There are no plain-Jane hot dogs here; enjoy a carefully constructed combination of the meaty sausage with fries, chips, cheese, condiments and whatever calls to you. A number of fine-dining options offer Italian, Mediterranean and Asian menus. Family restaurants and neighborhood diners attract a loyal clientele, with traditional standards like burgers, steaks and barbecue dishes.
