An excellent diner – no wonder it’s been going strong for more than eighty years! I went there for the first time last week, and just needed something simple – a hamburger, fries, and a drink. The server made me a wonderful cherry Coke, and the burger was freshly made and delicious. Great pickle too! Everything hit the spot. I was there close to closing, but they did not rush me at all. I’ll be back again!

Patty Melt was listed as one of the best in Chicago #2 after Little Goat diner according to Foursquare they’re so wrong it’s average at best bit on the dry side . I do agree that little goat diner has the best in Chicago but my number two would be United Grill located on Armitage. Palace Grill is not even in the top 20 when it comes to patty melts I have plenty of reviews of food around the Chicago area so I speak from experience. Maybe the other food there is good but the party melt is definitely a hard pass for me

First time visit and loved sitting at the old school counter. Food was served fast and fresh – delicious Greek omelette. Diana, our server, was pleasant and very attentive – the owner too comes around and asks if everything was good. Service at its best. I’ll be back.

This diner has that classic American diner feel with a menu to match. I’ve had the steak sandwich, an omelet that makes a chipotle burrito look small, and always a bucket of mimosas. The owner frequently walks around asking how everything is, and the staff is always kind and attentive. Definitely a new Sunday routine.

One of the best diners I have been to! I love the menu that they have here. The skillets are amazing, which go well with a side of hash brown and pancakes. Serving size is really good, which can be quite filling and can set you up for the day!

The food is great! The Chorizo burrito is one of my favorite items to eat. Soo delicious, a must try! Atmosphere is awesome. I love the way the owner greets everyone. I also love that they keep a doggie bowl in front of the establishment full of treats.

We’ve been wanting to try this spot for years. Wish we had done it sooner. A fantastic “Greeky spoon.” Fun, Blackhawks themed atmosphere. Typical Greek diner offering. All the food was delicious. They have both breakfast and lunch options. We met George, the owner. Terrific guy! Good strong coffee. Friendly/attentive service. Some parking behind the restaurant. Some side items cost extra so ask if you don’t want to be surprised. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks, George!!!

Filmed at this place many years ago and George was great. This place has held up thru the years and a great foodie spot and affordable in the downtown area. A must go if you are a Blackhawks fan. Breakfast is great but I had a burger there the other day and asked for a medium. It was well done. 1 star off for that.. but I will change it to 5 if they get it right next time.
