Old School here we go! Cool diner spot. Traditional counter top seating or booth seating. Pretty clean place, and excellent prices! Can't go wrong with all day breakfast. People work all different hours, so why not? They have sandwich options and others as well. Fresh peeled and cut potatoes for fries. I generally do not like grilled onion on my sandwiches BUT when I took a bite out of this Cheeseburger, I felt a "Flash from the Past" hit my esophagus and belly! Is this an Original Quarter Pounder ??? The one and only? Dang, sure does taste like it. Nice. I tried to eat that slowly and enjoy every bite. Very fresh and nice quality meal, good value. I made sure to thank them on the way out. No fancy stuff here, just good food & nice enough people. Tip some if you can. Appreciated. Street parking is free, read signs as Town of Cicero has strict parking regulations. Just 1/2 block South of CTA Train. Bus stops right outside as well. Nice BP across street open 24/7. Beautiful Public Library across street as well. Bible Church also. Busy area, Closes at midnight. read more

The food & service is amazing definitely coming back! I was so sad that I didn't get a picture of the food since it was so good.

Walked here for lunch during a work trip. It's located at a busy intersection and has a game room attached(you can smell the cigarettes' smoke) a few booths and counter seating. The kitchen is set up so you can see the grill while your order is prepared. The waitress was very friendly but didn't wait around too long. I had the steak sandwich with fries and a coke. Everything was good, the steak was a bit tough but what do you expect for $9. The sandwich had the normal dressings, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo. The fries were big steak fries, decent but nothing special. I would go back if it was my only choice. read more

United Grill - Steak sandwich with fries - Diners Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Today are travels took us to the United Grill. The grill is a cute small Chicago old style diner that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The prices are fair. We each order the French toast plate with sausage, hot cakes plate with bacon, and the pepper egg sandwich . The pepper egg sandwich is cheep and has plenty of peppers but the sandwich over is bland And we wouldn't recommend it. The hot cakes were great and the bacon was very tender and delicious. The French toast was absolutely delicious! Thin slices that had a light crusty texture. The sausage links were greasy but delicious!! Over, the food was excellent other than the pepper egg sandwich. Service was good as well and the place is clean. Stop on by and check it out!! read more

Thought it was pretty good. I got three cheese burgers with fries. The fries serving was HUGE, but I found them a little bland. The burgers and fries were good for those looking for a nice dive spot or hole in the wall-type of meal. I thought the serving size was a little small and the burgers hard to eat because they were so dive-y. Good place but I'm not super sold on it. Would maybe try again in a few months. read more

3/2/24 - Great food and service from a classic diner. I was there around noon and ordered three eggs w/bacon potatoes and toast. Nice sized portion for and Everything tasted fantastic. The diner looks like it's been there forever, but everything was well kept and clean. They've added some space for video gaming, but it doesn't interfere with the main dining area or the overall experience. Great alternative to the fast food options on Cermack. read more

Great place to grab a Cheeseburger, well I will divide it like that: Prices : Very reasonable. Service : Good could be a little bit better. Taste: Great. I came once while I was really hungry so don't go harsh on me nonetheless I'm positive that I will return again to measure the taste more properly. For me now this place worth this 4 out of 5. read more

This spot is currently doing dining in. They also have glass dividers to separate guests from other guests. Service is friendly and quick. The place is clean too! Especially unexpected for a diner. Ordered the gyro skillet and ribeye steak. All affordable and delicious for pricing. Would love to come here again to try their burgers. read more

Very good food...CheeseburgerFrench ToastGrilled Chicken SandwichMexican BreakfastRib Eye Steak

This quiet gem of Chicago has been serving the city well for decades. The breakfast menu is not five pages long, but what's on it is really good! The hamburgers need seasoning, so go for the yummy breakfast. Ashley was our waitress and she treated us like we were in a fancy 4-5 restaurant. So, the service was great and the ambiance needs work. The place attracts all types of people from the professionals to the blue collar. I look forward to my next visit! read more

What a gem this place is. Honestly, if they start delivering I would order this at least twice a week. From breakfast to burgers everything is cooked to perfection. Breakfast is an extremely good deal as well and they get it out to you pretty quick so if you need to catch the train or buses nearby trust me you'll have your food in your hands with time to spare. They also use my favorite L'Oven Fresh bread from Aldi's (the best thing Aldi's has aside from Mama Cozzi's pizza snacks) One thing they need to work on is the bathroom. Jeezuz that bathroom is an unkempt mess. Small, dirty, broken door, etc. it looks like some of the apartments I've been in when I lived in the projects. Hopefully they fix it soon. They also gripe when they have to accept credit cards (crowd here is usually old school and pays cash) with the waitress exclaiming "Just this once baby! Next time bring cash." after I asked to pay with a card. 5/5 Stars read more

As far as "Greasy Spoon" restaurants go... we really, really like this place. The food is consistently cooked, of decent quality, good portions, and most of all, tasty. No surprises. The prices are fair. The Pepper and Eggs sandwich is a good deal. The waitstaff, and cooks have always been friendly, and work fast. Nothing to complain about. read more

My friend is semi new to the area and said she always drives past but had never gone, so today we went for breakfast. It wasn't too crowded, and our food arrived very quick. She liked her French toast and her daughter didn't complain about her pancakes, especially after she soaked them w/syrup! They gave us all 4 slices of bacon each, I had eggs, toast, and tried out their grits. The grits and eggs needed more to them and roughly 20 mins later I had gotten the tummy rumbles and from what the little one left in the bathroom I take it she did too... read more

24/7/365 days a year. Yes, I am the person who wants to go out for breakfast after drinking all night the Wednesday before Thanksgiving or on New Year's morning, and thank god for this place because it's always open. I often get the grilled cheese and hash browns but the eggs are good too. It's a typical greasy spoon diner, offering a typical diner menu and decor. It's a little gritty around the edges and in a Hispanic neighborhood so I think there are a few Mexican food choices on the menu as well. I very much enjoyed sitting in a booth early New Year's morning and watching an 8-piece mariachi band in matching velvet costumes sit down for some food at the counter. The price is right, the service is fast, the food coats the stomach, and there is some convenient angle parking on the street. read more

I love United. Yes it is just a simple diner but an inexpensive way to fill your tummy if you are in the area. My dad has been coming to United since he was a kid and is now a family tradition. Sure, the business has changed hands since then but the quality has stayed the same. Simple good cheep diner food 24 hours a day 7 days a week. read more

Among the many taquerias, it isn't easy to find all American diners such as this one in the middle of Cicero, IL. Although there isn't a large menu selection, their food is great quality for what you pay. You can get a tasty $4 Cheeseburger special (w/ fries and a drink), while it's Wendy's counterpart across the street sells the same items for more. The breakfast/brunch selection is wider and tastier. I would however stay away from the fried shrimp because they are bland (the waitress told my friend and I that they come straight from a bag). The fact that it's open 24 hours is awesome. You may encounter some interesting characters, but I've never been bothered by them. I'm glad this place exists. It adds variety to the Cicero area and keeps my stomach and wallet satisfied. read more

I love this place everytime I am starving and I only have a few bucks to spend I always come here and get the hamburger special under $5!!!!:D you also gotta Love the people that work here lol read more

Drunk night out leads to greasy spoon dining. And damn their cheese burger was delicious.

double cheeseburgers are the best and for the price less than $10 bucks go try it but avoid the gyros you have been warned ordered one yesterday it was decent until i took a whiff and this hideous smell that could only have come from the depths of hell hit my nose and i said never again i finished it but never ever again try the cheeseburgers read more

Should be able to go 0 or negative stars. I think the a hole owner and whatever girl answers the phone got some real personal issues for the way they bark back at PAYING, RETURNING customers. But, won't be returning again. They need a therapist and a journal and a better cook that can read or just close the place down all together. read more

I live right around the corner from this place and have gone there to eat at differing times very often throughout the years. In short: I love it. And the more you go regularly, the more the employees get to know you! Its really a great place with friendly staff. I will not doubt that you will come across very many people from all corners of the Chicago area but its refreshing to have a little place in Cicero so diverse and great. That cheeseburger special is to die for! read more

This place is amazing! I just moved into Cicero and tried this place on my bday for a quick breakfast. This place has the best French Toast I have ever tried!! Their bacon is spot on and hashbrowns yummmm....I have tried their grits twice but they are just OK (it's no Waffle House kinda grits here, man I wish we had Waffle House in Chicago...but that's another review) anywho, this place is a must try. Don't be fooled by the outer appearance, it's whats inside that counts :) read more

YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THEM! in the morning is best.. and with ice cold milk.. oh god this place is good.. only weird thing.. is last time i ordered some white dude kept staring at me as i was eating.. like if i was going to do something when i was clearly alone.. but no big deal. food is amazing. read more

I looove United Grill for its large portions and hit-the-spot, simple greasy fare, all at a really reasonable price. My boyfriend I have become regulars for brunch. We usually share the #3 (3 eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns, and toast) plus a side order of the rib eye steak. We always leave super full and super satisfied! read more

An all time classic, old school diner with the atmosphere to go with it. A hidden gem to the locals. What can I say it is also the best late night drunk spot with everything from breakfast too dinner. I can attest to coming in piss drunk and eating the best burger or chicken sandwich I have ever had, but to be honest I sometimes come in sober to get their chicken sandwich. Keep up your late night Majic United read more

I like this place but they have to make this place look at bit better I'm sure if they tidy up the place give it some cosmetic upgrades there will be more traffic , the food is great thought can't argue about that ! read more
