Waukegan Harbor; A Year 'Round Pleasure!
XtravelloverX Says: Going to the harbor to watch the sailboats pass by, catch a tan or a fish on the pier, or enjoying an ice cream or hotdog, sums up a day at Waukegan Harbor.There's Dockside Dogs (see my restaurant tips), an ice cream parlor, deli and the Waukegan Yacht Club for your dining...

Bistro 17 Bar and Grille: Swank new place in an up and coming downtown!

Hussey's: Worst Experience Ever
GhostOfPerdition Says: Had probably the driest burger that I've ever had. They don't ask you how you want it cooked, so I guess dry must be the standard. Staff was entirely rude. Never go to this restaurant if you plan on making it to a show at the Genesee, as no matter how much time you leave,...
Dockside Dogs: Great Dogs at the Dock
XtravelloverX Says: Dogs, Brats, Burgers and Frito Pies!It's great to get a snack and walk to the end of the pier and on a clear day you can see the Chicago skyline, yes, the skyline 50 miles south. The best items are the frito pies (fritos, cheese & chili) and hot dogs! You load all your hot...
The Quonset Pizza: The BEST Pizza in all of Lake County, IL!!!
XtravelloverX Says: Incredible sauce and excellent crust. They also sell their pizzas frozen for take home which you can't beat! :) Very simple, quality-induced experience. Sausage pizza all the way! The sauce is unique and flavorful. This is the only pizza place I'll eat sausage on, it's that...

Baker's Square: Baker's Square
dzni Says: PIES! This place has some of the best pies anywhere, and they're a chain! I know, hard to believe. Anyway, I like their peanut butter pie and French Silk, but everything here is good. They have other foods too, which are kind of Denny's-style. ;) peanut butter pie
Not a restaurant at all, but a...
dzni Says: Not a restaurant at all, but a dish.... this area used to have a large concentration of eastern European immigrants (many Slovenes), and a lot still remain. You may have to search around, but find a bakery in Waukegan that makes potica (pronounced puh-tee-za)... it's like a...
dzni Says: No, not Pizza Hut... Quanset Hut. Good, thin pizza... mmmm
The Genesee Theatre: A Theatre Revitalized!
XtravelloverX Says: This theatre has finally opened after being closed for decades. The opening act in December 2004 was Bill Cosby and the show was a hit! This theatre is both elegant and refreshing for a town that is hoping to become just that. There's a bar to have a drink or two before the...

Try the North Shore Bikepath. ...
dzni Says: Try the North Shore Bikepath. It goes from Lake Bluff to Kenosha, following the Metra railroad tracks. Actually, the bike path is under a different name, I believe, if you wish to go farther north or farther south than these points.
travelingrobNIU Says: Living in the northern part of Waukegan, I was gracious enough to live right next to the airport. When we were kids, we use to ride our bikes up there and have fun. Living next to the airport and hearing the planes fly over your head during the summer is the coolest...

Ah, my old hometown. Ok, Waukegan, especially downtown, is not really such an attractive place (the picture here is flattering), although the lake is always a nice sight. However, it's what's in this...

Returning from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we drove through the city of Waukegan. Quite nice downtown actually.

Small town on the Michigan lakeshore. We drove trough it, but it is definately more interesting, if you come from Milwaukee and go south to Chicago, then to be on the highway I94.
