The Choo Choo in Des Plaines, IL, is a nostalgic diner that has been serving customers since 1951, blending a unique train-themed dining experience with a menu featuring 100% grass-fed beef burgers and other classic American fare. With its vibrant atmosphere, the diner aims to entertain guests of all ages, making it a popular destination for families.

Originally conceived by Roy Ballowe during his time as a soldier, the restaurant was designed to provide a quick and enjoyable dining experience, reminiscent of a time when meals were served via a model train. After several decades under the ownership of the Ballowes, the diner was revived in 2001 by Jean Paxton Eisenberg, who restored its original charm and equipment while continuing to delight a new generation of diners.
