Iconic greasy spoon diner with new outdoor seating area.
Being established in 1937, Diner Grill opened as one of Chicagoland’s classic, family-owned, comfort food hot spots. Since then, we have served thousands of happy customers! For more than 70 years, we have relied on family-oriented service and delicious food (always made from scratch) to keep people coming back for more.
On Christmas Eve of 2016, the unimaginable happened… A restaurant fire destroyed everything we’ve built. The event was so catastrophic, that many people assumed we would never reopen.
In 2018, we built from the ashes, once again serving to the public.
