Super friendly staff, happy to see hash browns on the menu. Good came promptly and was very satisfying. Couldn't decide on a drink, waitress suggested plain soda water, it hit the spot! My kid loves the blackhawks memorabilia all over
Food is traditional diner food. Tastes good, but a little pricy.
The oatmeal is great. The chicken sausage is flavorful but a bit tough. Service is always attentive and cheerful. The other was there this time, he was friendy and solicitous.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I didn't get the hype. Service is okay, friendly enough, but the food was mediocre (avoid the pancakes) and over-priced. Not sure how anyone would call it good diner good with so many better options.
Always dependability good. Great crowd. Entertaining service. Great value!
I first walked thru the entrance on October 23rd 1990, when there was only the counter. There were people on every stool, and three deep behind and orders were flying! Since then, George has changed the look of the Palace, awesome, and kept the quality and his family legacy going strong, and in my opinion, and all who eat there, The Best Breakfast in Chicago! George, I consider you 1 of my dearest friends! I recommend The Palace Grill to everyone I meet!
Favorite place to take family, friends, and pretty much anyone that wants great food and environment (go hawks). Many items to choose from, and maybe even some jokes from George the owner. Cheers to the Palace Grill!
American food... very delicious. got there about one, it wasn't busy. i had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. it has an awesome atmosphere. atmosphere and food reminds me of virginia beach.
Love the service and sandwiches here! Make sure to get the corned beef!
American food and service here is excellent. I give this place two thumbs up. I will probably become a regular. This place has a good feel to it. Feels similar to a cafe in Chicago I loved.
Great food, worth the price, can get trslly busy. Good service
Great place for lunch or breakfast. This diner has so many things going for it. 1. Kind employees who treat customers excellent. 2. Food is excellent and made with fresh products. 3. Kept very clean 4. Ownership cares about the family business. Impressive they have been in business for 80 years!
Portions were a lot, but the food was good. Bad coffee nice people though
I love this truly special vintage Chicago Diner on Madison Street in the West loop. I've tried the corned beef hash and the biscuits and gravy. Both are fantastic with great service too.
Love the food here. It's been a while since ive been there
Great spot, super friendly staff and vibrant decor. Food is what you'd expect from a diner. Cash only.
I was here with my nephew who plays hockey and this was great for him. They have hockey memorabilia all across the walls. The food is also very good and the staff is very interactive and fun. My nephew ordered Pancakes with bacon and his bacon did not show up with all of his other food, but when it came the waitress said "oh, you wanted this today?" All around a very good place to eat brunch.
Love the atmosphere. Cash Only. All the Blackhawks memorabilia is so cool. Burger was great for the price.
i have been coming here for at least 25 yrs good food good service.
Friendly service, great food and a lot of Chicago history! What more could you ask for!
Best cup of coffee in Chicago. Pretty good bloody Mary too. A must for Hawks fans
Great old fashion grill with great food and service.
Palace grill restaurant sounds royal but it is the lowest class of low class eatery in Chicago. Food is burnt, senior employees hate their job, this is the only cash only restaurant I have ever been to in the past 15 years since I got my first debit and credit cards. This is 2018, era of Venmo and Apple Pay. They have indoor atm that gave me 20 bucks with a receipt of 40 bucks withdrawals.
Classic diner with good food and pretty quick service.
Best breakfast in the city! Must haves: Omelettes and skirt steak skillet...Hands down the BEST in the City. Get a taste of REAL Chicago food, friendliness & family. No strangers here, just friends you haven't met yet.
Food was delicious, enjoy the dine in experience, plus service was awesome. Recommend this place if you ever in the downtown Chicago area. Lots of black hawks memorabilia.
Couldn't decide between the Lemon Orzo or Bacon Soup. Went with the Bacon. It was excellent. Dr Callista from Genesis Chiropractic loves it there too!
Great decor and best Denver omelet I have tasted. Very nice visit.
Food was okay. The service was good. The female server had a bright and positive attitude.
Excellent food and great service. The only reason it's not 5 star for me is because I just paid 35 dollars for two omelettes. Crazy expensive
Great West Loop Diner. Has awesome hashbrowns and does a great job serving the typical diner fare. Huge portions at a reasonable price. This place is a west loop staple and always awesome if you want diner food. A must dine.
The food was great, prices are reasonable,and service was excellent.
Terrific flat top diner with tons of Blackhawks memorabilia.
Nice service and you don't have to wait that long for your meal.
Wow I finally got to eat at the famous palace grill. The food and the service was fabulous. Great job
A fav spot for quality American food. looking forward to coming back with my friends. it has an awesome feel to it.
Our family was visiting from out of town and ate here before we drove home. It was clean, friendly, and delicious. It felt like a really special place. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Chicago!!
Best breakfast ever!! Definitely a go to spot while visiting Chicago!
It has good food but it is kind of high on its prices
First time won't be my last time. Highly recommend it
Great food and service. Went before the Hawks game, loved the vibe/atmosphere. Definitely will return.
Great Breakfast! Although I'm not a fan of the sports theme.
Very rich traditional excellent place to take photos
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STARS!!!!GOOD FOOD,GOOD SERVICE AND GREAT STAFF!!
I was so shocked to see a negative review of the Palace that I am actually writing a review, something I otherwise never do. This place is beyond great! The food is fantastic, great stick-to-the-ribs, solid, delicious food. If you are a newbie to the Palace, try their fantastic Denver omelet. Or anything else - I have never had anything but excellent food there. And the staff is wonderful, friendly, sometimes with just a little bit of sass to make it fun. They have never, never, been anything but helpful and fun. My experience is in the afternoons, after a hockey workout at Johnny's across the street with my buddy.
Awesome service. Cocktail at breakfast and portions are good!! Cash only but great value!! Arrive early especially on game day!
I will keep coming back to support small businesses! I love the food and people that work here!
Friendly staff, great breakfast. Best Skillet I ever had. Pancakes are also delicious.
WOW!! This food was maybe the best breakfast I've ever had while eating out. I ordered the steak skillet with French toast and I've never been so delighted to eat! This food had so much flavor and it was cooked perfectly!! I ordered tea also, and they bring out a Harney and Sons box to your table for you to choose from!!! This tea is such high quality and that fact that they allow you to choose your tea is great!! The diner itself is super cozy! They have cute trinkets all around. I really felt at home. As for my waitress, I feel like she could have checked on me more, but that's okay, because all I could think about was how good the food was!! I'm from out of town, but I wish I could eat here every single morning!
Very very busy place during the weekend. Known for their breakfast. Owner is nice makes it a point to greet all of his customers. Cash only !!!
I love this restaurant, it is a classic Chicago stop. They have great food, decently priced with amazing staff. Highly recommended in the area, come check it out.
We love stopping in here before Blackhawks games. It's cool to see everyone in their jerseys surrounded by all of the jerseys and photos of the Hawks on the walls. The omelet and burger I've had were both great. The owner and staff have always been really nice. It's busy before games, but not a lot of waiting. For people who have never been before: it's CASH ONLY. There is an ATM inside, but it's probably out of your network, so plan accordingly.
You will feel at home. The owner I think comes to hang out with you like he's my dad. Super cool and always concerned with great hospitality
The best Breakfast & Omelet I ever ate anywhere ,same for a Lunch , if you are having a bad day , Stop by and meet George , if you are not laughing when you leave you need to see a Dr. After 80 years in business there must be something magic about the one and only Palace Grill and a guy named George
Diner near that United Center that has great breakfast. Type of place that I can go in my pajamas on a Sunday morning. Gyro omelet is awesome as is the Chocoltae Chip pancakes. Would suggest asking for your hashbrowns well done.
Quality shethi to expensive don't forget this is gold cost area
Cash Only...Old Style....My Fav- South of the Border Skillet Best Seats - Counter Seats
Staff it's awesome. Food is good. Prices are on the higher side for diner stuff.
From Sunday morning Church Ladies: Thank you to George, Christina and the whole Lemperis Family for your gifts to children at the Lurie Children's Hospital. Saw you all on Windy City Live - you made these kids a little happier by granting their special wishes. YOU are extraordinary because you make everyone feel special! When it comes to delicious breakfasts, excellent staff, terrific service, and fun and laughs - you are awesome! And, Merry Christmas too!
Wonderful environment, great customer service and food.
Palace Grill Restaurant a place to wear your hockey jersey. Love the Farmers Skillet, little bit of all the meats making a greasy breakfast meals. The owner is normally greeting people. Servers are great, super busy and helpful. Apparently they cater I got the message about that. Maybe one day I ll get a cater order from Palace Grill a place to wear your hockey jerseys. Can t wait to come back in my next Chicago visit.
Great classic dinner. I was in and out under 30 mins. Went there for breakfast at 7:30am and the staff were fun and friendly.
Fun dining experience! Staff was so much fun! Welcoming and witty. Food was hot & delicious! If you're looking for a yummy mom & pop brunch spot with an awesome staff this is your place!
didn't like it, I went there because of Chicago best and was very disappointed so I won't be going back
Fabulous diner with great food- even for vegetarians! Great decor and lovely staff too
