This folksy breakfast/lunch/brunch diner is known for its Southern specialties, such as shrimp and grits, corn cakes, and Andouille hash. But the health-conscious should take note: Despite the Southern-fried delights (and there are many) it’s actually easy to eat somewhat healthily here, with a number of fish and vegetarian choices, and gluten-free options are even highlighted on the menu. When this place is hopping, and it usually is for weekend brunch, in particular, expect it to be loud and filled with families taking advantage of the extensive kids’ menu. Looking around at the expressive cartoon animal and flying food paintings that fill the walls, the kid-friendly attitude makes perfect sense. There’s also a second location on the North Side, at 3300 N. Lincoln Ave. (at W. School St., http://www.wishbonenorth.com, tel. 773/549-2663).
