The world famous Walnut Room has been a Chicago tradition since 1907. Located on the 7th floor of Macy's on State Street, the Walnut Room was the first restaurant ever opened in a department store. Conveniently located in the heart of the Chicago theater district, the Walnut Room is an excellent choice to take a break from shopping or for a meal and a glass of wine before the show.
Enjoy our Famous Mrs. Herring's Chicken Pot Pie and other well known favorites on the menu.

    The check in and wait in line was too long and very warm and we had reservations. The waitress had overpowering perfume on that was nauseating. The food was mediocre at best. The “famous” chicken pot pie was all bland gravy and peas with about two pieces of chicken.

    We had fabulous service! Our waitress was so kind and polite and quick to help our party of 20! we had spills, kids orders and cocktails and she was great. We had a reservation for 5:15 on Sunday evening so expected it to be busy but you do have to wait in line for 20 minutes to even check in with your reservation. Our family has been coming to the walnut room for YEARS and this one was great thanks to the staff.
