    Cakes with skillet-super fluffy
    Kristen C.

    The bad reviews are strange to me...we had good food and good service. Restaurant is a basic diner and met our expectations of the place. It's an older business and could definitely use some updates but whatever...appeared clean and service was quick along with food to table. Would definitely come back. I had the Popeye skillet for $12. Large portion of food...skillet cooked perfectly...even eggs...and packed with ingredients. Arrived with pancakes...2 super fluffy ones. For the cost of it everything was great and I would definitely order again and recommend.

    Huge plate size for 1 person not bad for the price 12.99 it was absolutely delicious.. lots of gravy n a side of garlic bread. $2.00..

    Came here for breakfast and the food and service were on point. I ordered the Lucky Grill skillet and it was just what I was looking for. A little bit of meat with sausage and bacon along with veggies. It came with a side of pancakes which was okay. The pancakes seemed to break apart more than usual when I tried to cut into it, if that makes any sense. Nonetheless, it was still good. The server we had was awesome. She was very attentive from the get go and also very funny and personable. The prices also weren't bad at all. $22 for both my hubby and I. I would definitely come here again for breakfast.

    The restaurant is set back from Milwaukee in a strip mall.

    I met a coworker here for breakfast and specifically asked for "Rosie" because I wanted to see how bad this waitress was. (Based on another's review.) Service is my hot button so I wanted to check it out. There were only two servers, Frankie and Rose, so they gave me Rose. And she must not be the same as the "Rosie" waitress who got one star because Rose was pleasant and very attentive. We ordered a variety of food. Got it quickly. The order was correct, the food was good and in general I'd go back just to have Rose wait on me because she was funny and nice.

    I love me a diner just about as much as a tablecloth restaurant , and today I was sure hoping that Lucky Grill was going to be a hot ticket. It wasn't . I ordered the Chefs Omelette with well done/ crispy ( as in brown ) hash browns . Omelette was OD'd (dry). Hash browns were cold. Server took the potatoes and asked kitchen to serve me some crispy/hot ones. What came back (see attached pic) was at least hot , (a hot mess ) but there was nothing "brown" about them . More like mashed potatoes . Albany Park has much better options .

    The prices are dirt cheap and the food is decent. I had french toast which was a bit dry, but the hash browns were delicious.

    While in the area for a meeting a large group of us came here for lunch... Getting there around…read morenoon, they were quite busy, but we were quickly greeted and seated. The menu is filled with many of the typical diner favs and what they're known for is they bake their own breads, so I knew I needed to try that. Soon after sitting down, our server brought us a homemade donut hole with a slice of orange. That donut hole was so very tasty! I also got unsweetened iced tea to drink and that was freshly made and also tasted great. For my entrée, I opted for their open face tuna sandwich, which has melted American cheese on top of it and the combo of the tuna, cheese, and their amazing bread was so very good! The tuna is definitely not your ordinary tuna from a restaurant, it's high-quality, thick pieces and hardly has any mayo in it. And this portion was HUGE! I couldn't eat it all. It came with their homemade fries and cole slaw - the cole slaw was excellent and the fries were pretty good, sort of "homestyle breakfast potato" type of flavor, but a big, thick, square, beautiful fry, it just was a little soft, not very crunchy... it was very good though. Overall, we all loved what we got - would definitely return!

They were a bit short-staffed that morning, so service was slower than usual, but we weren't in a hurry and the staff remained friendly throughout. I ordered the daily special French toast, added fruit and pecans, plus a side of bacon. The French toast was absolutely massive and could easily be shared. My only complaint was the $3.75 charge for pecans, which felt a little steep for the amount included. Overall, the food was good, the diner atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for, and there's something special about dining in such a historic Chicago institution. If you're visiting the city and don't mind a bit of a wait, Lou Mitchell's is worth experiencing at least once.

    I haven't laughed this hard during a meal in my life. This place is an absolutely riot. Our server,…read more postboy, was amazing. He completely engaged the kids at the table and made fun of all of us. Reggie completely set the mood during the check in for our reservation. Even coming over and saying the kid at our table looked like Dewey from Malcolm in the middle. For anyone's coming here: it is not your traditional diner. The servers are basically comedians who will make fun of you for anything. The atmosphere is set in 1950-1960 diner culture. And the dance breaks are great. I will definitely be back with my kid when I get a chance

It was the perfect place for us to link up, talk about what was happening later, and figure out what we were going to get into. Listen, the entire place was a total vibe! The staff wore their retro fits and mingled with the patrons. The bright neon, the teal and turquoise walls, and the hot pink accents were phenomenal. I absolutely loved the color scheme. The black-and-white tile definitely took it back to the diners from back in the heyday. Not my day, but somebody's day, okay?! And they put on a whole show! The staff started singing "Car Wash," and listen, it was a total vibe. They are loud, okay? They might sing right up on you and have you sitting there like, "Okayyyy!!!!" But it was never disrespectful. That is simply the aura and energy they bring, and we were here for it. Every time you go out for breakfast, you don't want just a meal, okay? We were out of town, and we wanted to enjoy ourselves. We wanted an experience, and that is exactly what this place gave us. It's fun. It's retro. It's loud. It's divey. If you want somewhere quiet, this might not be the place for you. But if you want great energy, fun outfits, singing, and a lively atmosphere, go ahead and pull up! We had an absolutely great time. Again, the outfits, the aura, and the energy made the whole experience!

The owner spontaneously spent time with us, explaining everything on the menu-- so friendly and helpful. My simple scrambled eggs with beans and rice was delicious with their very fresh housemade spicy and chunky hot sauce. My son's French toast was perfect. My husband's chilaquiles was incredible (and huge), and note, they have three different styles of chilaquiles, with vegetarian options. They have three varieties of agua fresca-- we didn't try them, but they looked amazing. American and Mexican classic dishes, including Chicago Dogs, chili relleno, etc. We'll be back!
