The world famous Walnut Room has been a Chicago tradition since 1907. Located on the 7th floor of Macy's on State Street, the Walnut Room was the first restaurant ever opened in a department store. Conveniently located in the heart of the Chicago theater district, the Walnut Room is an excellent choice to take a break from shopping or for a meal and a glass of wine before the show.

    I discovered the Walnut Room after engaging is peaceful protest at Daley Plaza. The menu has excellent offerings but my fave go to is their smash burger. It is absolutely delicious with perfect shoestring French fries. The service is always spot on and the ambiance is relaxing and restful.

    Absolutely love the historic Walnut Rome. We make sure to come every time we are in town from California. The lattes and homemade cinnamon rolls are divine. We recently had their BBQ chicken sandwich as one of their specials and would highly recommend.

    The homemade cinnamon rolls were absolutely divine. These are served only on Sundays and would recommend to any cinnamon roll enthusiast.
