KW Commercial is pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, high-capacity restaurant located at 3353 N Central Ave, Chicago, IL 60634. This 3,500 SF freestanding building, positioned on an expansive 15,246 SF corner lot, includes all real estate, FF&E, and infrastructure, offering a true turnkey acquisition for operators, investors, and multi-unit restaurant groups seeking a flagship location on Chicago’s Northwest Side.
Ideally situated at the signalized, high-exposure intersection of Central Ave & Roscoe St, the property commands exceptional visibility with 28,000+ vehicles per day, robust pedestrian activity, and dedicated onsite parking for up to 40 vehicles—a rare amenity in this corridor.

Built in 1978 and tastefully renovated in 2009, the restaurant features B3-1 zoning, accommodating a wide range of food-service, retail, and commercial concepts. With an efficiently designed dining room, upgraded mechanicals, and a fully outfitted back-of-house kitchen, the space is ideal for fast casual, family dining, banquet operations, catering kitchens, or an owner-operator launching a new concept.
