Food was faithful to the good old fashioned dive diner. Prices were also old fashioned! Server was great! Owner was great! Great local regulars eating I'm and carrying out. I wish I lived in the area. I could be a regular. read more

Food is great! Priced reasonably and the owners husband and wife amazing! Love to support family owned businesses read more

Delicious gyros and Greek carryouts like spanakopita, homemade and authentic. The bast, prepared with love.

Hot Grill is my favorite! They have the BEST fried chicken (ask for extra lemon pepper, trust me), and Pete is the sweetest! 10/10 stars!!!!!! read more

I have worked next door to this place for about a month now, and my experience with Hot Grill has been fantastic. The prices are outstanding compared to any fast food restaurant I have seen in years, and the food is excellent. The menu is massive, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Not to mention the lovely people who run the place, always offering assistance and hooking it up with the portions. read more

Great hidden secret! Don't spend your money for luxury surroundings. When you want good food, friendly people serving it and tremendous value, go see Pete and Virginia. They have been on the business for years and know how to feed you. Great food you won't be disappointed. read more

Is this the place in All Stars where you can take in the Hills have Eyes people while smelling sewer water from the bathroom? I love going to bars with a pour counter trust me. I remember when this place opened in the early 2000's you count move in the bar. read more

Frankfort's Hidden gem. An honest small business with incredible home cooking. Pete is basically the king of frankfort square. Incredible experience read more

Fantastic restaurant. As others have commented, the look is pretty grungy. Ordered cheeseburger and fries. Burger was obviously hand made, and the fries were premium quality. Well worth the great prices. Looking forward to trying more food here. read more

See all

If you want some home cooked meals this is the place to eat. Everything on the menu is great especially the Grecian Chicken

Unbelievable Greek chicken maybe the best I've ever had also love the rice!!! Hidden gem in Frankfort!!! read more

I stopped in and had a wonderful breakfast. The food was great. Barbara is a great server.

I just moved to the area, I went to this restaurant and ordered the shrimp basket to go. I was very pleased with the quality of the food and the owner was a great guy, Very friendly. I will definitely be trying more food here but pleased so far! read more

Sorry Pete, that I haven't written a feview before! Let's start with breakfast: Best deal in town... I don't know what he does to the pancakez, bht they are the best in town. My wife says she thinks he put vanilla in the batter. They accommodate us so much, they even buy flavored cream for us. My wife gets her eggs poached in a cup, and she said they are at the most consistent place there is. Done to perfection. Me? I like my over medium. You have to try the one pound chop steak sandwich on garlic bread. My wife and I split it, and with a bowl of soup each.. it's the perfect lunch. How many of you like liver? Pete makes the best! Greek style chicken and potatoes, you can't go wrong. Then you have to come back and try the breaded pork chop, with a side of spaghetti. Under $6. read more

Order a to go order and enjoy. There is limited seating but when you do eat there the staff is fabulous!! The food is great and you cant beat the price. I especially love the biscuits and gravy and the pancakes melt in your mouth. My husband gets the French toast and gas not complained. read more

All I can say is Patty Melt...there, my mouth is watering. They are the smallest little place but the owners have the sweetest manners. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and made to feel at home. There are only around 4 tables to sit at but you can can go next door to All Stars to eat. Not a big deal. Obviously my favorite is the Patty Melt and I will never eat one at another place again besides here. I've had breakfast several times and the food has always been good. Not the biggest place around and small, but big on the re read more

What a find. For a hole in the wall kind of joint this is, it's amazing how fresh everything is. Home cooking is truly available here. One of the best Greek chicken dinners I've ever had, the fried chicken and tenders are battered and fried to order and are better than many "southern" and fancy restaurant fried chicken. Breakfast all day, ham off the bone with breakfast, soups fresh and homemade every day, with the Navy bean Monday my favorite, chicken noodle, chicken dumpling and cream of chicken rice right up there. Pete the owner is totally friendly, goes out his way to take care of you. His wife too, and when they bicker it can be a pretty damn hilarious show (his wife always wins). Oh and the prices? Out of this world. Dinner for my family of 4 today was $20. No Processed fast food crap here, just homemade stick to your Rib's wholesome food. You won't be disappointed. read more

VERY tiny place, but one-on-one service. Food was pretty good, as well. read more

Hot Grill - menus on the wall above the counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

This place is a small gem. Great food, friendly/family service... and high high high quality food. Places like this don't really exist anymore. Ohhh and amazing prices. read more

I'm holding back because I've only eaten here once. I got the hot dog which I ordered "Chicago style" The hot dog was far from it. No cucumbers, celery salt, or pickles. the hot dog was also one of those witeish "mystery meat" hot dogs. Definitely not brand name. The reason they didn't get less stars are because hot dogs are not their specialty, and the service was EXTREMELY friendly. I'll probably be back to try some other menu items. read more

********************************** 3/14/17 A snowy, white out Tuesday deserves a breakfast at Hot Grill. The usual fare: Poached eggs done to perfection.. Beautiful yolks that oooze out, and waiting for the toast to be sopped up with. Slice of ham off the bone.. This is what a mom n pop diner in your neighborhoodis all about. ********************************* 5/13/2016 Today's special: Breaded pork chops with spaghetti. (I did the Greek potatoes instead). $4.99.... $4.99!!!!! You cant beat that!! And the potato soup..for an extra $1.00!? Thick, rich, and a nice touch of dill. $15 for the 2 of us. My husband won this argument: STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY ON CRAPPY FOOD ELSEWHERE!!! EAT HERE!!! ********************************** BEST BURGERS EVER!!! this is a hidden gem on Rt. 30 and 78th Ave... it shares a building space with ALL STAR SPORTS BAR.. excellent food, great prices. Don't judge a book by its cover... the outside of this place wills care you off, but inside awaits Greek chicken, chopped steak sandwich, and yes, even liver!!! read more

so cozy and local and homemade and reasonable and charming and hidden and worth stopping in to eat breakfast for dinner

This place is great. The breakfast is amazing. The Greek chicken is also delicious, literally "homemade". The owners are adorable and it is like visiting family every time. Mom & pop place for sure. read more

We got bacon burgers & fried chicken wings. Everything was very fresh tasting, flavorful, and you could tell that they use quality meats & ingredients. read more

Best food in all of Frankfort! Everything on the menu is great, from breakfast to the soups, all the dinner options! Pete, the owner is the sweetest person on earth! read more

I have been here a number of times over the last few years and again just recently. This place is a simple hole in the wall with very good home cooked food at a reasonable price. You can walk through the "wall" into the attached bar and eat there if you like and have a drink with your meal. I have had the breakfast here which is quite decent especially for the price. But that burger is really good. The chopped steak with grilled onions is really good as well. That is what keeps me coming back to be honest with you. There are a few Greek foods here also. Pete the owner is a nice guy also. There is a decent sized menu with more than just fast food type items on it. Just made myself hungry thinking about that chopped steak. Gotta go now! read more

This place should be called Hot Damn! This unassuming (translation crappy looking) storefront harbors some true taste sensations. All I can say is order the special - whatever it is that day you won't go wrong. Stuffed peppers, greek chicken, ribs, oh yes, bring it on. Don't be afraid because this place is attached to a bar and seats approximately 8 - hey, any place where you see the cops loading up on chow you know is good. Not in the mood for a meal - get the burger...one of the best you'll find in the south burbs. read more

Love this place who needs Greek town when you can have the best home cooked authentic Greek food; pasticio and soup for $5.95 and souvlaki, huge burgers, gyros, fresh breakfast. And Pete loves to share a cup of Greek coffee and a few jokes. ;) great place don't let the exterior scare you. read more

If you are sick of all the chain restaurants where the food is getting more expensive and the portions are getting smaller, try Hot Grill!! Pete is the best and I love the chicken souvlaki. It is great for catering too!! read more

THE BEST "hole in the wall" "greasy spoon" EVER!

Excellent food, low prices. Been going here for years, and will continue. Thanks Pete!

This place has always scared me away because it is a total hole in the wall. The food is decent but nothing special. The service is fairly average. The interior could use some updating. Seems to be very popular with law enforcement, the 3 times I've been there there has been plenty of police on hand. read more

This is how a restaurant should be run!!!! Friendly owner who is happy for your business and serves you with a smile. I'd go back just for that. Fortunately for everybody this place has the food to match the service. We had a burger, the Greek chicken and soups. Everything was fresh, tasted great and clearly homemade. Go there now and thank me later. read more

Greasy spoon with attention to detail. That sweet spot between fast food and contemporary generic American chain. Total hole in the wall, but there owner is a genuine real deal character, and he will bend over backwards for the customers. Take out is easy and prompt. The chicken dumpling soup is surprisingly good, as well as the Greek potatoes, and in the morning, pancakes are legit and amply portioned. Oh, Pete also pulled off an emergency catering for a party after Salinas made a mistake! Talk about hustle! read more

Had an order of 4 wings and fries and a Greek chicken breast dinner. The wings tasted like Brown's chicken with less breading, which I consider a good thing. The Greek chicken dinner included potatoes and rice. It was all delicious and I was sad that I devoured it instead of taking my time. Next trip I'll pass on the American fare and get something Greek. read more
