The first Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts still exudes the funky, devil-may-care lifestyle of the 70s in its style, décor, music, and menu. Happily for all of us, the best eating of that day continues to be some of the best today. While there's a huge menu that's as much fun to eat your way through as it is to read, many of Grunts' old favorites spark return visits. The burgers are arguably the best in town. The new 'digital' salad bar boasts many of your favorite fresh ingredients daily. Giant malts and milkshakes are hand scooped and come in a rainbow of favors. Oh! Don't forget the barbecued baby back ribs, and sandwich specials.

The fried pickles were excellent and the chicken sandwich was delicious. The cocktails were a little small and the fries were cool (which is disappointing since it’s an up charge). Our server was excellent and the vibe was great.

One of the very best restaurants I have been to in forty years of living in Chicago, excellent in every regard that counts: quality of service, quality of food, ambience, comfort, location, value, noise level. We've gone regularly since it opened in 2023 and loved it every time. The menu is not long, but the variety covers a lot of ground for every taste and the quality is very high.

Was disappointed there was not live music on Christmas dinner as there had been in the past. They also put us on a side seating area that was too bright for dinner ambiance.
