This place used to be good, but not any more. Avoid. They charged me $18.95 for an Irish breakfast that was inedible. The sausages and black pudding and white pudding were deep fried and burned to a crisp, the eggs were runny and barely cooked, and when I complained about it they neither offered to make it right nor offered to take it off my bill. They also charged me extra for onions in the hash browns. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

Was there on 11/04/24. They charged me $2.00 for a thin slice of onion. I informed owner that I will never be back. Warning! CHECK BEFORE ADDING ANYTHING TO YOUR ORDER! I would have thought that onion would be part of an order for a hamburger. NOT AT LUCKY GRILL!!!! read more

Good service, good portions, good tasting food, relaxed laid back local ambience that feels a bit like it's frozen in time from a previous era. read more

I got to the diner I frequent once a week, today 5/6/21 I arrived at 8:15 there was 1 other table being occupied I sit by the restrooms it was cold so I moved the other tables were dirty the waitress came cleaned the table took my order, another customer came and sits at the counter the waitress is watching the news and commenting her opinions and swearing while I see my food up on the counter waiting for her to get it - she walks around doesn't pay attention to my food, 7 minutes later I get my food its 8:35 my food and toast is Ice cold she never comes back to ask if everything is ok and if I needed anything else ! The food is always consistent and good I know it was not his fault he did his part she seems zoned out, not paying attention . I will continue to dine her but if she's here I will leave and come another day . read more

The service was great. Unfortunately the food was below average. I've been here in the past and had excellent food. However todays food was horrible. It may be a while before we try it again. If your on a diet than this place is for you because you won't eat the food. read more

This place is wonderful. I love the veggie skillet .... lots of veggies. Great portions, tasty food .... it's our go to family breakfast place. read more

Solid 3.5. Showed up and was let in and we picked a booth in the back. The waitress was late so we waited until she arrived. She came after we were there for about five minutes. I think this was about 15 minutes late but stuff happens so no biggie. She walked over and asked us if we knew what we want to order and we didn't have menus yet so waited a couple minutes to look through. My sister ordered eggs with ham and potatoes. I ordered a gyro omelette with potatoes and pancakes. My sister ordered a mini waffle and gave that to me to try. My omelette was big and delicious and the potatoes were amazing. I didn't particularly like the pancakes or the waffle. My sister liked her meal. All in all I am happy this place is in the neighborhood and I like their food. I know what I would order if I came back again and I would definitely come back. read more

Lucky Grill - Omelette, potatoes, pancakes and waffles - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Our house was bombarded with menus from this place. Seriously, two menus on our front door, one on our side door and one on our back gate. We figured if they were that serious about distributing menus that we should give them a try. So glad we did! I had a corned beef hash skillet with a mini waffle. I ordered the eggs basted and they were cooked perfectly. Most of the time when I order basted eggs the yolks are completely hard, these were PERFECT. The mini waffles were yum, an excellent toast substitution. We were there with a table of 5 and everyone loved their breakfasts. This might be our new go-to spot! read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Whenever I stop in for breakfast or lunch I am greeted with a smile and filled with good food.

This was a carry out order. Nothing too fancy, just breakfast foods. ordered a kids meal that they forgot to include the juice and pancakes for. Had to go back for that. Got home to finally eat my meal and these are the sunny side up eggs that I can't dip in my pancakes. Thanks Lucky Grill! read more

Went today to my favorite diner. Not happy. Had eggs Florentine that were good. They only had lentil soup. They used to have two in-house soups every day. Now only one and it's supplied by the other location on Milwaukee Avenue, and reheated here. I also had coffee and a banana shake. I took a togo order for the better half. It consisted of a very over cooked chopped steak, mashed potatoes that tasted like boxed with bottled gravy, and flavorless yellow rice. I paid $31. and change for both meals. I believe I was screwed. The waitress was very nice as always. I think its time for me to find a new favorite diner. read more

Place is excellent. Love coming here. Waitresses are very friendly, quite efficient. Only problem I ever had was last week, While I was waiting to pay the cashier was questioning the bill of the person in front of me, stating that the waitress did not charge the customer for something. The waitress explained the confusion and all was correct. But I had to wait five minutes to pay because of her misunderstanding, then the bad credit card system. Otherwise a five star review. read more

Placed an order via Grub Hub for breakfast - for myself and co-workers. Came faster than the estimated time Grubhub provided! One of my coworkers however received her Corned Beef Hash that was not fully cooked and the egg was over cooked. Stomach ache afterwards. read more

Ordered for the first time from there. The food honestly is so-so. They completely forgot to send part of the order but offered to send it again in 20 -30 (after waiting an hour originally) The food was cold when it arrived. Probably the worst breakfast delivery I've had. read more

We found this place by accident and we're glad we did!! I had a wrap that was really good and big enough that I didn't finish it! Outdoor sidewalk dining is small but if you can get a table it's still enjoyable! Our server was a young girl who was very friendly and attentive. The place was packed and there were several takeout orders picked up. I'd say it's a good find! read more

The Irish breakfast was tasty but you have to ask for a side of baked beans to make it complete. Otherwise, it was really good. Seating was a breeze on a Sunday morning. I will say the pricing is kinda unique. I've never seen items given such exact prices (the Irish breakfast was priced at $9.53). We'll be coming back for sure... read more

Neighborhood joint and its excellent. Normally we dine in and the service is outstanding. Occasionally, I'll call in an order and pick up. Even when they are busy they take the time to pack up the food and do such a wonderful job I normally tip 20%. read more

I honestly was really disappointed when we went some time back. The first time we went was wonderful and when we went to go in we didn't see the sign on the door that had changed hours until 3pm. We had gotten there around 2:30 and was told as we went to walk in, the door barely open that they were closed. No sorry no explanation just Were closed. The staff that my boyfriend and I saw were just standing at the counter talking and didn't seem pleased to see us. A simple hey sorry we changed hours would have been fine but nope just a We're closed and a very unpleasant look on her face. We ended up going else where and as of now have no intention on going back. I get it that it was on our part that we didn't see the sign on the door but she really didn't need to be rude about it. read more

I've been here a couple times and the place isn't really anything special. I ordered mozzarella sticks a week ago due to a craving and they were just fried bread. The cheese was never there or fell out. I mean, it's a small restaurant and they weren't busy. The cook could fry up a couple of sticks an hour before close? It's basically another small dinner that just slops up food together. They're getting three stars for the soup I've had there, but I'm just really disappointed since they're the closest restaurant to my job besides a Dairy Queen. read more

Big menu selection: probably about 30 different burgers/sandwiches in total, so it was kind of intimidating. They also have a decent looking breakfast selection and other dinners besides sandwiches. The amount of food you get for the price is pretty fair. I had the monte cristo deluxe, which means it was the sandwich + fries/onion rings/fruit + coleslaw + pickle spear + soup + a dinner roll. They give you a good amount of soup, too, probably a bit over a cup. The roll was a bit chewy, but really good. As for the sandwich, it was really good, though the turkey was a bit tough. My mom had the tuna salad in avocado, and she got a surprising amount of food. You get half an avocado + probably 1.5 cups of tuna salad, and then practically a small fruit salad (watermelon, honey dew, pear, peach, pineapple) and a scoop of cottage cheese and a little cup of jello, PLUS two slices of toast, PLUS soup. All that for just under 10 bucks. We took half home, there was just so much to eat. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their sandwiches or maybe something off their breakfast menu. read more

wife and I each had a skillet. Mine was absolutely delicious. Our little guys devoured their mickey mouse pancakes at a rate that made others wonder if we ever feed them. would go back there for breakfast, without hesitation. can't speak to lunch of dinner but i'm sure it satisfies the belly but leaves the intellect with pangs of guilt. read more

Walk in, sit anywhere you like. Parking might be a bit hard to find I suggest park on Canfield. I had the Irish skillet, food arrived quick. Good quantity, taste good ( I'm not too much of a breakfast person) , taste a bit mild to me so I added salt and Tabasco sauce. I'd say its better than ihop at about the same price. I'd like to come back and try the other dishes. read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Seriously THE BEST hollandaise sauce ever!!!! Their eggs benedict rocks!!! In fact, EVERY single time we have eaten here, which has been very often, the food is delicious and fresh. They have homemade soups that are amazing! Super friendly service and home-like feel. Will continue to come back here time and time again! Thanks Lucky Grill for wonderful service and fantastic food!!! read more

You can't beat a good neighborhood restaurant. I have to admit I have only been here for breakfast. However, their breakfast is some of the best in the area. They actually serve a very good eggs and rice. Don't knock it until you try it. read more

This is a cute little place located right down the street from Resurrection Hospital -so, if you have been visiting medical facilities lately like I have (long story), and don't want to eat hospital food, this is a cute little place to get your breakfast or lunch on. The staff was fast, friendly and the food was good! It's just about 15 minutes from where I live in Chicago so I would consider going back even if I'm not going to the hospital! read more

I love diners. Lucky Grill is a nice and little local gem. Nothing from the outside really draws your eye to the restaurant so you would have to be specifically looking for a place to eat. It's not a bad looking place by any means though. You can park on the street or find a spot in the little private lot behind the restaurant. The inside is somewhat small: there are a few tables, booths, and little bar stool area. Pretty much any place with neon signs on the window is a winner in my book. The menu is surprisingly gigantic. There are pages and pages of various foods but the highlight (for me) is the breakfast menu. I've had several items and I've been satisfied every time. Classic items can be found, like a Denver omelet or bacon & eggs. If you want something different then why not try the chili omelet or latin skillet (which includes such ingredients like chorizo, jalapenos, etc). Want burgers, sandwiches, or gyros? Come over here and try 'em out then! This place has something for everyone at very reasonable prices. If I had to say an average price, I would say a meal would cost you ~$7.00. I love this place so much that I plan to have everything on the menu at least once. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is great. read more

My partner and I both had the corned beef hash. They serve the old-style fine-ground type with minimal potato and filler, almost all meat with deep flavor. Two eggs on top with choice of potato or fruit, plus toast and coffee. Just right. Friendly professional service was spot on and cozy holiday decorations for about $20. The place was packed and all were happy. Adding it to to our go-to list. read more

I got the skirt steak and Lucky Grill skillet. Both were delicious and everyone was safe and took the proper precautions to make my experience safe and quick. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items! read more

I ordered food on grub hub food came cold. My gyro meat was that frozen throw on the griddle type was tough and disgusting. Soup was literally canned chili. I will never order from here again terrible! read more

Someone needs to explain to these people that we pay for our food with our hard earned money. The cooks here make too many mistakes like over cooking the food. Instead of remaking the food they simply pass to on to the customer. At best this place is just below average. I'm not saying don't go there, just know they don't care about the quality. read more

Best breakfast on the northwest side. The food is delicious and they give you large portions. The only draw back is the waitstaff. I have been there several times and I always have to get up to get more coffee or butter of find out where my toast is. And this is a small place - it is irritating. read more

I frequent this place regularly it's always consistent food decent service. This rating is not a reflection of the food it's a reflection of the one waitress that should find another job. She's served us in the past and was bad very slow and seems like she hasn't a clue what she's doin. Gave her the benefit of the doubt she's new/young but unfortunately she's just plain useless we were served today and nothing has changed she hasn't a clue forgetful asks how's everything tasting despite only having a coffee we had to get from the bus boy because she obviously forgot. I've no doubt she forgot to put our order in it took up to an hr to get the food. Give me any other server they all do a good job but this one badserver would just ruin your day. Sorry lucky grill I always like your food and service but in the future if this useless server is working I'll be walking back out the door I'll find elsewhere read more

It's easy to pass by this greasy spoon (it's got a pretty nondescript storefront and is tucked away between a barber shop and a dance studio), but if you can find it and avoid the breakfast crowd, you'll find it's definitely worth stopping in. The atmosphere of the diner is very laid back and welcoming, though it's pretty small and I can imagine it must feel pretty claustrophobic when the breakfast crowd is swarming the place; we went at 630 on a Saturday, so we were the only ones there (and we still got fast, friendly service). The menu is huge and features an interesting mix of items for CRAZY cheap (most entrees were between 7-10 dollars and portions were quite large). Soups are made fresh every day, there are daily specials, and a pretty good selection of desserts. While the Lucky Grill seems to be, at heart, a traditional Irish breakfast-ery and features the usual fare-- black pudding & white pudding, corned beef, w/e else Irish people eat (...potatoes?)-- there are also some intriguing selections that I'll definitely try upon my return. Corned beef skillet? Done. Enormous breakfast combos? You got it. Pizza omelet? A-WHA?! You'd better believe I'ma try that. When my small group went, we tried some standard breakfast items, which were pretty well received. I got the Irish breakfast, which came with two black puddings, two white puddings, a hefty slab of Irish bacon, two eggs (any style), and toast. All of this was served upon a tasty bed of thick-cut hash browns and it all cost around $8. A friend of mine got a skillet of some sort which was similarly huge and apparently delicious. I'm excited to go back and try more, and perhaps even venture in to experience the breakfast rush. Giving this a 4-star rating for now as I haven't fully immersed myself in what this place has to offer. read more

Terrible customer service. I've had wrong orders that they refused to correct. I've had them refuse to take an order an hour before close. Now I ordered a skillet with sunny side up eggs and requested strawberry jelly. The eggs are hard and they gave me everything but strawberry jelly. The owner obviously could care less about service. They are also expensive. Never again. This is the last straw. read more

I only ate here once but we lived nearby and it's always busy. Food was awesome, I really enjoyed it, service was good. We had a wrap and a skillet, both were yummy. Prices were right. Downside is how cramped it is in there, not that they can help it but I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place has great breakfast food. The staff is friendly and stays up on the coffee refills. Good food and big portions.

Food here is about average. Their Irish sausages are good and unique for a local diner, everything else is mediocre, like club sandwiches, soups, meat and potatoes platters. The way to stand out when your food does not is with outstanding service. Unfortunately the food is better than the service. They recently shortened their hours from closing in the evening to closing at 3pm. When a customer walks in at 2:35 and you tell them you are already closed you have herby informed them you do not need their business. There are too many restaurants out there that appreciate my business to ever step foot in one again that does not. read more

Saying edible dog food is a disservice to what my dog eats. The only thing worse than overcharged food is sevice you get on the phone. Every delivery order is messed up and when you ask to get it fixed they refer you to Grubhub because the retards that work there rather put 18 ketchups with your order than get it right. The orange juice is the only thing that's worth getting here. Biscuits and Gravy frozen and with bag gravy and can sausage, skillets with cheese harder than talcott. Avoid at all costs. $32 order for those 2 things. Look at the reviews, everything from the last year will tell you everything you need to know. read more

Possibly the worst pancakes I've had. Bland weird aftertaste. The hashbrowns were pretty much mashed potatoes no type of crisp texture.Coffee was bad. I was so hoping to find the classic diner food breakfast, this place sure did disappoint. Over priced for subpar food. read more
