Does anyone remember the name of the steak house at State and Randoph in the late 60's early 70's. Next to Shopper's Corner?

Thanks

Was Ronnies the steak house with the steaks being cooked in the front window?

Ronnies had 2 locations as I remember, one on Randolph just west of Shopper's corner and one on State Street Close to the Chicago Theatre

There was also a Ronnie's III at VanBuren and Wabash in the mid 1970's, but not sure if its still there. The steaks were cheap and tasty.

Ronny's still exists, part of the State of Illinois building at the SW corner of Lake and Clark.

The location near Randolph and State is now an Argo Tea.

The Van Buren location is now a parking lot.
