A beacon on the northeast corner of Canal and Roosevelt, this diner has managed to stick around while other businesses have come and gone. In addition to an extensive lunch and dinner menu, the White Palace Grill serves up eggs practically any way you can think of 24 hours a day. The diner attracts city workers, policemen, firemen, business people, college students, politicians, the afterhours club crowd, and just about anybody. The mix of people is terrific and diverse. It is an urban oasis. Stop by today!

I had the best Greek salad of my life today at White Palace Grill! Anchovies, olives, onions, feta, tomatoes- so fresh and delicious! My friend had yummy meatloaf with thin, tasty garlic bread. Waitress Cheryl was a delight! A little pricey for diner food, but it was a fantastic lunch! Nice atmosphere too!

So glad they’re open 24hrs, great for us off shift workers. Had a great meal there, can’t wait to come back and try more.

There were so many rats outside, I’ve attached a video. The rats were infesting their garbage, which most likely means there are some in the kitchen as well if this area fosters them this well. Made me lose my appetite.

I went to this old diner style restaurant and I was happy to try this restaurant because Guy Fieri had this restaurant featured before on his show. I need to include the fact that episode with this restaurant aired in 2006 and this restaurant has since gone downhill. I thought this restaurant was fine until they told my party of 7 that we had pay before we got our food. I never been to a restaurant that had this rule apart of their policy. The food was overpriced for a diner open 24 hr. They put to much fruit on the waffles and a whole slice of cheese on the omelette/cheese fries. The customer service was average I won’t be returning back.

In town visiting and I heard this was a good place to go to so I stopped in, at first service was decent but after our food came out that was the last time our server came to the table. No refill on drinks no asking was everything ok. She sat at the bar and was on her phone the whole time carrying on a conversation. The food was ok not the best at all. The vegetables came out of a freezer bag the were tough and hard. I won’t be visiting again at all

Literally the best breakfast I’ve ever had. I got the southern chicken biscuits and gravy meal. Chicken was perfectly cooked and I’m still thinking about those homemade biscuits. I will dream about those biscuits. Those biscuits are the most amazing things I’ve ever had. The whole meal was perfect, very friendly staff. It’s just a great place and the service is quick. They have a huge menu and they are open 24 hours so you can get some amazing food at any hour. This place is no joke. Best diner I’ve been to.

A fantastic 24 hour diner just south of the loop. I got the southern biscuits and gravy with eggs and everything was delicious. My friend got the buttermilk pancakes which had the most buttermilk taste I have ever tasted in pancakes before. The waitress and all thebstaff were polite and friendly, and our food came out incredibly fast.

I was hungry and desperate for food. The food had no taste. Although I did not care, my body was obviously forced to. (Note: I do not drink alcohol). After I got sick and threw all my food back up, that was my body’s way of trying to tell me to get this expired tasting food out of my system immediately or it will do it for me. And that is exactly what it had done when I unfortunately did not have the strength to fight back. Literally within 3 minutes of throwing up all my food, my body felt so much better afterwards. My body saved my life. Now it’s up to you to save your own, and stay as far away from this place because they will not give you a refund for what your body will endure after it had already consumed whatever reused scraps that were used to sell back to you (e.g. their ‘loyal’ customers) from the start
