    Old fashioned short-order breakfast! 2x2x2 Breakfast Specials
    Madison K.

    Country music and top- notch short-order diner food. If they could make anything celiac safe it would be an easy five stars... but this is admittedly a danger zone for allergies. My dad loves Harlo Grill and take out from here makes him feel as if he is still young and hanging out with buddies.

    The griddle works its magic inside the NEW and much improved Harlo Grill (space was previously the sketchy Club Harlo)

    A NEW BEGINNING Seasons change, leases expire, and the updated digs of this greasy spoon in Melrose Park are worthy of a +1 star bump. At some point in mid-2018, Harlo Grill closed their original location at North & 25th Ave, where they'd been for decades. Apparently the lease was up (though I'm convinced the health code violations may have stacked to the point where the owners just said "f*ck it, this place is falling apart, burn this bitch to the ground.") They moved the classic marquee sign and re-opened half a block east in an area formerly occupied by the mysterious Club Harlo. Whereas the old spot was dilapidated, poorly lit, and had limited counter seating, the cushy new venue is bright, spacious, and respectably clean. I'm very happy to report that the menu remains the same, as do the crazy low food prices. It seems as though most of the employees carried over, too. The guy working the griddle whipped up my Hobo skillet ($6.10) in a jiffy. It had plenty of potatoes & onions, topped with two eggs perfectly sunny side. I added jalapeno peppers for good measure; every order comes with buttered toast and jelly. Harlo's burgers are decent but the breakfast items are standouts. You can get 2 eggs with bacon and hash browns for as little as $5! That's insane. Oh, and their selection of liquid condiments is tough to beat (Cholula, Tabasco, sriracha, plus a few others). They've got you covered, my hot sauce loving friend. * TL;DR * Going from a total dive (whose hygienic practices were questionable at best and at worst, alarming) to a bigger, brighter space has made a world of difference. The sanitation score is still a far cry from many other places, however, but maybe a teensy bit of raw bacon germs aren't the worst thing for our immune systems, y'know? I was worried that a shift in scenery would also dictate a change in menu, but fortunately that's not the case. All your favorites are still as available as ever, 24/7, 365, from now until the end of time. As always, they are **cash only**. Don't let the shiny new digs fool you -- Harlo Grill remains the OG.

    Hamburger with Fries and Pink Lemonade

    Harlo Grill is a great casual diner. My friends and I stopped here after attending a local event. Their menu consists of the usual diner fare; burgers, sandwiches, and milkshakes. I tried a hamburger with fries. I gotta say, it definitely satisfied my late-night grease cravings. Everything is made fresh, right in front of you. The employees do a great job making sure that you have everything you need from time to time. In addition to the regular dining area, there is a full bar area, with billiards and music. Likewise, there is a small area for video gaming if you want to gamble. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the atmosphere. It was very sterile and colorless. In short, while Harlo Grill is a bit dated looking, it's a great diner to eat at if you're looking to get good old-fashioned burger and fries. You'll definitely be full when you leave!

    Really good burgers. The pizza puff was so delicious and crispy, and the milkshakes were also very good

    Loved this!
