A favorite restaurant is something special, a sort of home-away-from-home featuring familiar faces, menu items, and surroundings.
Restaurants of all types have suffered greatly during the current pandemic, and many across the nation are projected to never reopen even after a return to more normal times. Such a prediction can t help but prompt recollections of once-popular Northbrook restaurants that now are only memories.
Plenty of long-gone Northbrook restaurants could be mentioned, but for now, many might recall five favorites that all were located along a 3.5-mile stretch of Waukegan Road between Lake-Cook Road and Willow Road.
Starting from north, first up was Phil Johnson s at the southeast corner of Waukegan Road and Lake-Cook Road, which years ago often was referred to as County Line Road. In fact, Waukegan Road Illinois Route 43 was named Illinois Route 42A until a change made by the state in 1967.
