About The Choo Choo
The Choo Choo, located in Des Plaines (suburb), is known among regulars for its local favorite. Regulars come for a rotating special. Check the listing above for exact hours before you go, since specials can change seasonally. A genuine only-in-Des-Plaines gem — a classic diner where a toy train delivers hot dogs and burgers to the counter, largely unchanged since it opened. Kid-friendly with small train rides on-site; free parking in a walkable downtown block. Closed Mondays and Sundays.
