It's our first time here. Quickly seated, casual dining. The atmosphere has some 80s music, darker ambiance, not crowded but a fair amount of people. The wait staff was friendly and responsive. Our family rates the food: French dip #1: 5 stars (kid vote) French dip #2: 4 stars (my vote) Hackney burger: 3.5 stars (kid vote) Chicken Caesar salad: 3.5 stars (kid says it was a little spicy) Turkey BLT: 4 stars (adult vote) Fried onion appetizer: 3.5 stars (2 out of 5 people felt it needed some kind of seasoning, like truffle salt) Overall nice experience! Thanks for having us!

Half of us in the igloo.

This was the first time I've been to Hackneys in quite a few years, but we wanted to eat in the plastic igloos of the holiday for a some festive family fun. The dome itself was fun and decorated inside do a cozy feel, but we were a bit cold even though they do have two heaters going so we are with coats on. There were 6 of us, so it was also a little tight but it was about the experience, so we weren't too worried about that. As for the food, we ordered the onion loaf and potato skins that were both good just as they were in the past, but I do wish there was a sauce with onion loaf. Almost everyone got a burger of some sort, something they are known for, but I got the Hackney smash which is a slightly smaller patty and there are two. I wanted that to be better fo something called a smash burger it really wasn't. It didn't taste bad, but was definitely not a smash burger. Their fries are thin and crispy and I also ordered a cup of chili which was the best surprise of the night. It was meaty with a spicy back and came with all the extras on the side really tasty. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive for the most part considering she had to come from the main restaurant to serve us, but at the end of the evening I'm pretty sure she forgot about us, but we sat in the dome for 15-20 minutes after we were done eating waiting for the check. My wife had to go outside and get someone. If I'm being honest that drops it down to more like a 3 and half stars, but overall everything else was very good so. Funtime do the family during the holidays.

I'm from the area. Brought my soon to be husband here for lunch. After we got our marriage license! We currently live out of state and got married in my hometown. Loved the chill vibe inside. We had a few beers at the bar. And I twisted my loves arm for the onion brick but we got the 1/4 which was just fine. I wanted the 1/2 one. I got the delicious hackney burger as usual! Love this local spot and the food! Great bar tender!

Love the Igloo experience.

This was our third year eating in the Igloo, which is always a fun family experience However, we did notice that this was also the 3rd year that they did NOT bring more french fries when we asked. They advertise unlimited french fries. They bring an average size plate of fries, and every year we have requested another plate, and they have not one time brought it. I wonder if they "forget" on purpose. When we mention it, they always apologize but still do NOT bring another plate to make up for "forgetting". Disappointing. Not sure if this is on purpose or not.

First of all understand when you get here you can kiss your dieting goodbye But you will have a great time. I started off this Black Wednesday night visiting my friends in the north burbs of Chicago and people like this place so I went. This place has been here before my grandmother was born The famous hackney onion rings had to be ordered. I'm don't want to know about my sodium level. The onion rings look like they could be a cake My friend had a hamburger and I had the ribs. I think there is a hospital nearby which is good considering the menu. I am kinda joking. They also have a salad should you wimp out and not want to consume 2800 calories every half hour

onion rings appeared to be the "bottom of the barrel" burned/hard, not fresh at all and the stinky oil was nauseating.  Burnt pretzel bun

pick up order 6/23/25 Disappointed again, this is the third "pick up" order that has been bad. As soon as the package was delivered to my car, the smell of "old grease" was almost nauseating. The pretzel bun was burned on the top and very soggy on the bottom, the burger was extremely well done, dry and pretty tasteless. I may eat "inside" but won't order a take out any more. So sad

Extremely slow service. Someone must have died in the kitchen. Hamburger was dry & overcooked. Service was slow.

The patio is just okay, in my opinion. It's small and nothing is very special about it, but on a nice, sunny day, it's perfect for lunch. I've never been a huge fan of the indoor dining area either, and I usually opt to sit at the bar if I can. The staff is very kind. They have an excellent burger. It's always cooked right and I love the bun. I add avocado to mine. The fries are great too, and always the perfect amount of crispy. I consistently used to order their Turkey Club, but at some point in the past few years, they switched from fresh cut turkey to deli turkey. It's not nearly as good anymore for that reason, and not worth ordering. The only Glenview restaurants I know of that still use fresh turkey in their sandwiches are Hackney's and Meier's Tavern. Also, their Guinness pours can be questionable depending on who's pouring. Nowadays, when I go to Grandpa's, I only ever order the Chicken Kabobs. They are absolutely delicious! If you like medium spice, I advise you to ask for them cajun-style. They are best this way! The kabobs come served over rice with the most juicy oven roasted tomatoes, and this addicting peanut sauce on the side. I pour it over the whole thing. It is a must-try and no doubt the best thing on their menu. Highly recommend Grandpa's food, as most things on the menu are enjoyable. They also have Merkt's Cheese!

It was surprisingly crowded on a weekday night so we sat at the bar. For my drink I got a spicy…read moremargarita and it was really good--very refreshing with a kick. For appetizers, we got the sesame rolls, and they were super soft and fresh. I also tried bacon wrapped dates for the first time (so I have nothing to compare these to), and they were alright but I thought the cheese was sort of overpowering. For food, I got the brick chicken and it came with a side of crispy cottage potatoes. The chicken with the garlic thyme jus went well together, and the potatoes were so crispy and delicious. The sticky date cake almost tasted like pumpkin bread because of the spices I was tasting. Overall the food was good, but I wasn't blown away by anything I ordered. Although our server was really friendly and helpful, I felt that the service was lacking and it took awhile to be checked on to order our drinks and food, but maybe they think it's best to just leave customers alone and allow them to take their time. He also gave us our check without asking if we wanted dessert or anything else. He apologized and made sure to ask if there was anything else we needed before we left which I appreciated.

We visited for a birthday celebration and had a solid experience overall! We started with the…read moreartichoke dip; while it was very flavorful, the portion was quite small, a bit too salty, and didn't come with enough chips (though we easily ordered more). For mains, the salmon was cooked to absolute perfection--juicy and not overdone at all--and the smashed burger was wonderfully juicy and paired great with the waffle fries. Tip: Happy hour runs Monday-Friday from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM, but it's strictly bar-seating only. If you are celebrating a birthday, your dessert is complimentary! Our waitress, Ann, was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the noise level was low enough that we could actually hold a conversation. There's valet parking!
