Ed Debevic's

Ed Debevic's

Ed Debevic's is a small chain of classic 1950s and 1960s theme restaurants started by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises. It is currently operated by Bravo Enterprises.

Its first restaurant opened in Phoenix, Arizona in 1984, but has since closed. The Beverly Hills, CA location also closed because it wasn't making enough profit, and another location in New York City was unsuccessful. The last non-Illinois restaurant, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, closed in 2001. Eventually "Ed's" was reduced to just one restaurant, in Chicago, Illinois. More recently, a second location opened in Lombard, Illinois.

Ed Debevic's was the basis for the restaurant Mike worked at in the 1986 television series, "Jack and Mike." The show takes place in Chicago and the waitstaff can be seen dancing on the counter in the opening credits.
