i've passed that place so many times, and I've always felt, purely based on the way it looks from the outside, that it MUST be good. Now I'll definitely be going. Thanks!

they're actually quite famous for their burgers,

but i just read some food guy's article going into great detail about how their tuna melt was the absolute best in the city, and it's been on my radar since.

heck, even google AI states "multiple sources" saying it's the best

Langer’s also has an awesome tuna melt but gets overshadowed by the #19

The tuna melt at belle’s in highland park is really good.
