I would recommend this spot for a quick bite after going around the Lincoln Park Zoo or just around the area. I don’t think I would go out of my way to eat here.Their Buffalo wings were juicy but the sauce wasn’t a very Buffalo flavor, it seemed like a mix of bbq sauce abs Buffalo sauce. I would give it a 3/5. Their turkey club was tasty and didn’t slack on the turkey deli meat!Nachos were “eh”, with there were more chips and a pico de Gallo to trickle on top.

Food was pretty good, was not blown away though. The wings I got were probably my favorite, very crispy and fresh. The buffalo sauce didn’t seem very “traditional” but it was still pretty good. The nirvana nachos were also pretty decent. I really liked that it comes with ranch, guac and salsa on the side! They really stacked it with toppings. The club sandwich wasn’t my favorite. The bread felt a little too charred. The fries also didn’t feel very fresh when they came out. The service was really great, our waitress was super attentive and kept coming around constantly. All in all enjoyed our time here though.

Didn't know I was in for such a surprise when I decided to check this place out thought I'd keep it simple with the French onion soup and definitely top three of all that I've ever had and it's been a lot of French onion soup... LolThe tuna melt was made fantastically and the bread toasted to perfection service was awesome and the ambiance super cool excited to go back and try more on the menu.

Great little spot in Lincoln Park that I used to frequent when I lived in the neighborhood, and my mom's best friend waitresses in the 70s so it was fun to take my daughter here for a delicious lunch. Amazing shakes and salad bar of course. I love the 70s music and vibe of this little gem.

The service was amazing- they have a kind and fast welcoming and waiters are great! Also food comes really quick.Fish and chips were really disappointing. Fish had no taste and fries were really soft so I couldn’t eat it and I ordered the salad. The salad was amazing though. Also my mum was really happy with her soup- it was really tasty.

No frills here but a great Lincoln Park destination. The funk vibes in here are unreal and I love the 70’s feel. Great place to come grab a huge portioned meal after a walk through the park. Food isn’t the best I’ve had by any means but you’ll definitely leave full and have plenty of grill/bar food options to choose from.

Atomsphere was cool. Fun to come back after so many childhood memories. 3 stars because I never before was charged a surcharge for a table of 2. Prices were high for food quality. I got fish and chips and all the chips came out burnt. Fish was alright. The salmon was delicious. Great place for grabbing appetizers other than that you can find better burgers in Chicago for a better price point.

R.J.Grunts is a nostalgic restaurant for me having eaten there since High school.Food was good. But could have been hotter. Joey the server was accommodating and funny.The burger was good but could have been better. I think they should up the food service especially with the higher price points.

Perfect spot to come for the munchies, the portions are huuuge. I love the inside, lots of gorgeous women decorating the walls. The menu is simple and the food is great. The strawberry daiquiri is so yummy!

I haven't been here since I was a kid, and I'll keep the memories over the experience I had here in 2022. Was the burger always this bad? If I paid $6.00 for this burger at any local Chicagoland grill, I wouldn't be writing a review about it. But this is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, so they charge $16.95+ for the burger, and you expect something good in return. This thing sucked. (P.S. - the liquid blue cheese they squirt on the Gruntburger is salad dressing)Our server was wonderful.
