MacArthur’s Restaurant

Austin

More local residents can dine in at MacArthur’s, other West Side restaurants

By Shelby E. Hawkins | February 21, 2021

But the increased capacity is far more helpful to other parts of Chicago that have more restaurants. “One of the things we’re fighting right now is the lack of opportunities to sit down in a restaurant” in Austin, said Malcolm Crawford, executive director of the Austin African American Business Networking Association.
