Bob Chinn’s Crab House, one of the area’s most recognizable spots and an anchor of Wheeling’s Restaurant Row, received national recognition on Wednesday when Forbes Magazine named it the highest-grossing restaurant in the nation.
Situated on Milwaukee Avenue, Chinn’s brings in an estimated $24 million in annual revenue, not including alcohol sales, according to the Forbes study.
“I feel so excited about this, for me, a little businessman, to get this kind of recognition,” Bob Chinn said.
Chinn, 89, spends half his year in Hawaii, but is in the restaurant seven days a week when he is home in Northbrook.
