Visiting from out of town and found this diner. Good fries but the shakes ( esp. the Orange dreamcicle) are awesome!
Nice and friendly owner greeting customers. Range of traditional diner foods and also some more modern and healthier options
Family owned since the early 60's. Diner food the way it should be, simple and delicious.
Dinner Grill on one sign; Diner Grill on the other. Either way, a great greasy-spoon breakfast 24 hours a day.
Best diner in the city. Try the Slinger, Chili-cheese omelette or the Dickburgers (bacon cheeseburgers with hash browns and a fried egg on top).
Good food, good portions, good service, good prices. All you can ask for out of a diner.
The Chicago Diner is a haven of meatless dining. Truly tantalizing to the vegan sect are their non-dairy desserts like black forest, cookies and cream or lemon cakes. Read more.
Vegans, vegetarians, non vegetarians will love this place. I recommend the Thai chili wings as an appetizer. I love that there is a small lot adjacent to the diner. Rare in Chicago
Best vegan diner style restaurant bar none. NYC and SF got nothin' on this place!
Check out Chilam Balam as seen on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives Read more.
Guy Fieri hit the road for homemade Mexican dishes at Chilam Balam, where they are making shiitake mushroom empanadas and flautas from sustainable, farm-fresh ingredients. Read more.
The year’s best Mexican spot serves our favorite guacamole, peanut butter and chocolate empanadas, and is BYOB to boot. Read more.
It's not bad, if you like Diner food. Greasy burgers, sandwiches, fries, etc. I ordered the "Cheesyburger" and it was fine, though it slightly lacked a little taste.
How hungry are you now? But he chicken fingers are good.
Sit at the counter.... the cooks are awesome to watch
Awesome omelets, especially greek one. One of the best 24 hour diners around. Friendly servers as well that will put up with and sass your drunk friends that you drag in here.
Breakfast diner food. Mmm, sweet sweet grease. Love this place!
Classic diner cheeseburger. Great cabbage soup, too!
Great local feel, gotta love the owner John, forever entertaining. Can't go wrong with any of the skillets, I love the mushroom/feta/spinach omelet.
So many options to choose from, you can enjoy something new every time. Amazing skillets and everything else is great and affordable.
Come on Sunday and get the cream of chicken soup. Lemon!
Eat at Clarke's diner under the train ... awesome sweet potato fries!
Last chance to bail on the northbound red line before Wrigleyville. Puts you close walking distance from pretty much anything you could need besides a convenient grocery store.
The view of 1000 liqour just makes me want to drink.
Like Glenn's Diner except not as good. The atmosphere is very cafeteria-esque and makes it feel a little miserable. Great service though?
Tuesday night's All You Can Eat crab legs... The salmon was fantastic. And you can get abowl of cereal off the back wall for desert.
Had the oysters on the half shell, coconut shrimp, New England chowder, and the Crabster. All were incredibly fresh with great attention to detail. I don't think you can really go wrong here. :)
Charming old Jewish diner with great food! Must do if you're in Lakeview!
Oder the mish-mosh soup! So good and comes in a very large bowl!
Mish mash soup. Delicious. HUGE. The glass bowl it comes in is a monstrosity. Approximately 2.3x bigger than your head.
The Chef here is from Glen's Diner
Very fun bar, staff is super attentive and great beers. In the summer the beer garden will be great.
Apple pie shot is the new hotness
Fantastic diner fare with a fun hep kitschy setting. Friendly service. Enjoy before or after a night of drinking and improv in wrigleyville.
Breakfast burrito with bacon is heaven. Only available on weekends!
Cheese Fries!!!! (and ranch)
The food and service left a lot to be desired. Go across the street to chicago diner instead
This is the best place in Boystown!! The food is great. Much better than any diner you know. And the staff is amazing! You'll come back over and over again!!!!!
The seasonal sweet breakfasts are always good. At the Old Town Nookies, you can get a trio sampler of them... Not sure if they do that here. Never gone wrong with the blackened chicken sandwich.
Dark divey vibe inside, great beer garden outside, and lots of awesome beer on tap. Tamale man stops by too or the Diner Grill is 24 hours across the street.
Best bar in Chicago period. Treat your bartenders well here, they are experts and deserving.
Get here early on a summer evening, colonize a big table on the back patio and hold court with several of your fellow beer lovers until the tamale man arrives with reinforcements.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
