• American • Lincoln Park

Booked 40 times today

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.

Amazing service views and food and drinks! Jessica was our server and she was the best! So sweet and accommodating for a mom with her daughter. We are staying at the hotel and just needed a quick bite and she was very helpful and let us sit on the patio area that was supposed to be closed but she opened it for us so that we could enjoy a quieter area and sit on a couch versus a high stool which would have been hard for my young daughter. Thank you Jessica!
