Century-Old Restaurant · Cook County Dining History
Few dining establishments in the northwest suburbs of Chicago have a longer hospitality lineage than Mrs. P & Me. The address at 100 E Prospect Avenue has served the Mount Prospect community since 1902, when Henry Behrens opened Behren's Saloon there. During Prohibition it operated as a lunch counter before returning to tavern service and becoming Kruse's Tavern, a gathering place for local sports enthusiasts, dairy farmers, and railway travelers from the 1930s through the 1960s.
In 1977, Dennis Miller took over and renamed the restaurant Mrs. P & Me, after his hometown of Pittsburgh. Much of the building's historic character remains, including the original bar and Mount Prospect memorabilia. The current ownership, in place since 2004, has maintained the restaurant's identity as a neighborhood institution: American comfort food, local hospitality, and a bar that has absorbed more than a century of community gatherings.
The property's long hospitality lineage, rather than the construction date of the building itself, is the context paranormal accounts associate with the property.

Mrs. P & Me does not present itself as a haunted location. Stories of a tall shadow figure, objects leaving the kitchen counters, spinning coat hangers, and an emptied bookshelf are told about the building, but neither the restaurant nor Mount Prospect's own materials mention them.
Mrs. P & Me's one recurring paranormal-adjacent offering is a Tuesday psychic-reading event with Patrick O'Brien, booked by calling (773) 904-8204; a scheduled psychic reading is a different thing from a claim that the building itself is haunted.
