Reviews for Modern Grill in Chicago, IL
Haven?t seen Harry (owner manager) in 3 years. The greedy woman who answers the phone in the morning (perhaps she took Harry?s... place) finds every single reason to justify increase in price by cutting quantities in half. So sad. Read more
Okay so it isn't much for the eyes and the staff is friendly but no nonsense. It is a diner, diner. They make the best slightly... oily (yep, I said it. It isn't a crime) rare, double cheeseburgers with grilled onions and mayo in the city. Sometimes you wantjust that kind of burger. And sometimes I have them throw an egg, over medium, on it (not ashamed). Just thinking of that juicyburger makes me salivate! There's an older man there who is a treasure. I have had their breakfasts and found them to be hearty,filling, and very reasonably priced. Read more
Stopped in here for a bite after I got into town, then every day after. Christina is real sweet and cooks everything just the... way you want it (also makes a damn good gyro). If you are in the area definitely stop in, you won?t regret. Read more
Favorite go to for a quick pickup of some comfort grill/diner food. The cheddar cubes are sooo good! I can never remember the... name of the lady who is always working, but she is the absolute best! Always so kind and friendly, and always makes sure to goabove and beyond when packing my food to make sure that I have everything I need. Even if it wasn't an option while ordering! Read more
Went here when I first moved to the neighborhood. Food was great at an ever greater price. Reminded me of Waffle House aka my... favorite diner. But then covid hit and I consistently saw staff and customers not wearing masks at all. That?s justirresponsible and gross. Nowadays I see that as equivalent to not washing hands. There goes my hangover breakfast plans :/ Read more
Best breakfast that I had in a very long time and everything cooked the way I like it! This was done by one person who took my... order , cooked it and brought it to my table... not many restaurants can do that with only one person. The restaurant isn?tfancy and overpriced but it?s good home cooking that speaks for it self!! I went back again for lunch and my burger was cookedto perfection by my standards and waitress was amazingly nice and cheerful!! My restaurant of choice now. Read more
I lived about two blocks away from this hole in the wall for over a year before I found out I was living next to arguably the... best value diner in Chicago. Steak and eggs that will rival anything in the city for eleven dollars, and their omelettes are allexcellent as well. Great diner coffee, great service, and never a wait (because no one seems to realize it exists). Read more
Great place for a quick bite and the staff is about as friendly as it gets. This place has been a neighborhood staple for a... while. Also shame on the person calling out the staff. Have had nothing but pleasant experiences at this place . Read more
