Choo Choo Restaurant, established in 1951, is a beloved diner in Des Plaines, IL, known for its unique train-themed dining experience that appeals to both children and adults. The restaurant features a menu centered around 100% grass-fed beef burgers, homemade chili, and a variety of kid-friendly meals, all served in a nostalgic setting reminiscent of classic diners.
Originally conceived by Roy Ballowe during his military service, the Choo Choo concept combines delicious food with an entertaining atmosphere, highlighted by a model train delivering meals to tables. After a brief closure, the diner was revitalized in 2001 by Jean Paxton Eisenberg, who restored its original charm while continuing the tradition of quick and friendly service.
