The Berghoff is still good. I used to work around the corner. But unless you're into German food, go for the beer. They have their own brand.
The Billy Goat is the inspiration for "Cheezborger! Cheezborger!" No discussion necessary. John Belushi grew up around the corner from the owner, Sam Sianis. More notably, though, it was and is the hangout of the writers for the Tribune. Mike Royko used to hang out there all the time.
If you want a good easy dinner that's walkable from your hotel, try Chicago Firehouse, which is in (you guessed it) an old firehouse. They do good steaks and other stuff that need grilling.
