Every location has a 0-100 accessibility score based on six real features. See exactly what is and is not accessible before you leave the house.
Save your favorites, share with friends and family, and stop worrying about surprises at the door. That is what "know before you go" means.
Every Chicago restaurant is evaluated on the features that actually matter when you are in a wheelchair.
The three critical features carry the most weight. When critical features are unverified, the score is capped to prevent false confidence.
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and every neighborhood has its own accessibility story. Wicker Park's converted storefronts sit behind steps that were fine in 1920 but are barriers now. River North's newer high-rises tend to be built to modern code, but "ADA compliant" on paper does not mean an accessible restroom in practice. The West Loop's restaurant row is world-class dining -- packed into buildings with narrow entries and cramped interiors that were never designed for a wheelchair.
Then there is the weather. Chicago winters turn curb cuts into ice walls and ramps into hazards. Sidewalk dining disappears for five months of the year, and the transition from outdoor to indoor access becomes the only option. The infrastructure that matters year-round -- level entries, wide doorways, accessible restrooms -- is what ROLLIN scores, because those do not change with the season.
The L is one of the oldest transit systems in the country, and large portions of it remain inaccessible. If you are relying on accessible transit to get to dinner, your restaurant options are shaped by which stations have elevators. That makes knowing the accessibility of the restaurant itself even more critical -- you cannot afford a wasted trip after navigating transit that was not built for you.
ROLLIN gives you the full picture -- not just "wheelchair accessible: yes" like Google Maps, but a granular 0-100 score that tells you whether you can get through the door, whether the restroom works for you, and whether you will encounter steps on the way in. That is the difference between hoping for the best and knowing before you go.
