About Father and Son Restaurant
Father and Son Restaurant, located a block away from The Whistler, will be celebrating their 70th year of business in 2017. Their Logan Square location was a Studebaker car dealership before they purchased it in 1962. Make sure you come to the opening early so you can enjoy some of their pizza on The Whistler patio.
