There's a nice lunch spot in the lobby of The Blackstone Hotel. Directly behind it is a great Vietnamese restaurant and across the street is Buddy Guy's place. (He may be too young.)
As Ken said, The Navy Pier is great. They should not miss The Museum of Science and Industry.
Chicago is a great city but like all big cities there are areas you stay away from.

Have them stick to the touristy areas. River north, Michigan ave, Navy Pier, etc. Bring a bunch of money. Nothing is going to be cheap. Do take ubers or cabs, even if it's a short distance. Some of the bad areas butt right up to the safer areas and a neighborhood can change in 1 block. Just be aware and keep your eyes wide open. We always have to hit Portillo's for a dog and italian beef. Geno's East for a deep dish pizza and Rosebuds for really good Italian. The Sears or Hancock towers are really cool as well. Stay off the streets late at night in any neighborhood. He'll be fine!

There used to be some really nice restaurants at the top of some of the largest buildings.
The Prudential Building had “The Top of the Rock” restaurant. There was a hotel off lake shore drive that had a restaurant that rotated 360 degrees as you enjoyed a meal. Unfortunately I believe they have all closed down. Dinner with that view was great.

My only experience with Chicago is flying in and out of O'Hare for Colorado ski trips. I did step outside one time and realized why everyone wears long coats. Lots of good suggestions so far.
Twenty years old....hot chick... a hotel room with room service?

Museum of Science and INdustry is a great day trip, but take Uber to get there. I would go to a Cubs game if they are in town, that can be an experience.

You can not go to Chicago with going to the Science and Industry Museum.

You can not go to Chicago with going to the Science and Industry Museum. But definitely Uber to that museum. The neighborhood around it is a bit dodgy at best

I would eat a lot of hotdogs with tomatoes, sport peppers, and fluorescent relish. Then I would come back home.
