Shanlie Ann 🍃 @chi_shanMarch 12, 2013Was one kick-ass nice chef all around: Order to order and he's got it! If you want to sleep in your fries ( like a guy was....ahem) he' ll look out for you! Good value great staff!
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014This tiny 24-hour greasy spoon in a converted train car is best visited after a night of boozing. Its signature dish is The Slinger, a chili-covered heap of hamburger patties, hash browns and eggs. Read more
Chicago TribuneMay 5, 2015The Slinger is a surprising dish, the kind dreamt up when a bored cook riffles through the pantry and throws everything onto a griddle. Think hash browns, hamburger, chili, cheese and egg. Read more
Chefs FeedMay 5, 2016"It's just greasy, good perfection. For a long time I thought it was just good because I was drunk. Nope. Even when I'm cold sober, it's still a damn good burger. Make mine a double."- Kurt Tarpley Read more
Loyola University ChicagoNovember 12, 2011A 24-7 neighborhood staple that's been around for ages, The Diner Grill will challenge you to their hearty ‘Slinger’ breakfast dish that puts any omelet, scramble, or hash to shame.
I've been coming here for years. It's my favorite diner. It's open 24/7. Everything is reasonably priced. And the staff is friendly.
Paul ThenstedtDecember 14, 2019Ask for the double dick, it is not on the menu. Cheeseburger w easy egg bacon, hash browns. Comes with fries and if u want a side of gravy...
Daniel SchellJanuary 21, 2013Dinner Grill on one sign; Diner Grill on the other. Either way, a great greasy-spoon breakfast 24 hours a day.
Allan MarshallFebruary 4, 2017Temporarily closed, because of a fire that occurred in the back room around Christmas. Hopefully they do follow through and reopen Spring '17, as I read in 1 article the owner said they wanted 2 do!
Pro tip: order the slinger with corned beef hash instead of chili.- 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.
They make everything good here. Stop reading, start eating...still here? Go! Eat!
One of our traditional late 🌙 diners when in Chicago.- Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014John Anderes, chef of Telegraph Wine Bar, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Cheeseburger. Read more
This place has been here for as long as I can remember. Its a perfect neighborhood eatery
- Slinger is deadly. Go for a dickburger: cheeseburger with a fried egg + hash browns.
Matthew HerekNovember 29, 2009Think twice about ordering the slinger. Order an omelette instead. Sing 80s songs from the jukebox
