There is nothing in the world of food and dinning, quite like an American diner. The late hours, the kooky waitresses, hair nets, and just good 'ole American food takes me to a place of pure comfort. Chicago is full of yummy diners to satisfy that American need of casual dinning and late night hamburgers. Check out the best Chicago diners and why they make us so happy...
1. Diners Feed Ya Well
Diners will make you happy because they have every kind of food you could want, all on one menu! Where else can you get a grilled cheese with a side of eggs, pea soup, and a milkshake?
3. Dessert Before Dinner
Diners give you permission to have dessert before that hamburger. Milkshakes come in the standard flavors of: strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and malt. Pick your fav and drink it before dinner!
5. Obama Likes Diners!
The President of The United States likes to chow down on some good American cookin’! I don’t blame him… Chicago diners make the BEST waffles and pancakes in the entire state of Illinois!
7. Don't You Dare Feel Guilty!
Cram that burger and those greasy fries down your throat! It’s okay, because you’re at the diner! It’s like mom telling you, “Better go on and clear that plate, or no dessert for you!”
9. They Have Every Kind Of Pie!
Can’t decide which pie you want for dessert? It’s okay, just get ’em all! Take your time and watch the rotating case full of every pie you could imagine spin around and around.
This way, you can think about dessert while you shove lunch in your face.
11. Make Friends
A Diner Moment:
I sat down alone at one of my favorite Chicago diners and began sipping on my never ending cup of coffee. An elderly gentleman, sitting next to me, began a conversation. We chatted throughout my entire meal about Chicago, education, and the world.
That was one of the BEST breakfasts I have ever had! Go make some friends at your favorite diner…

Stella's Diner
3042 N Broadway St, Chicago, IL 60657
Stella!!! They have the most amazing milk shakes and desserts. Of course their reuben sandwiches are simple yet amazing, but I think of milkshakes when I hear the name Stella.

Glenn's Diner
1820 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613
When I think diner, I don’t think seafood. Glenn’s has it though and it’s fresh! They also have a HUGE wall that holds 15 different cereals! Can’t decide between seafood and cereal? Um.. well just get ‘em both! You’re at a diner… dig in!

Deluxe Diner

This diner is as close as it gets to the authentic diner experience in Chicago! I gotta say, they have the BEST diner coffee as well!! If you want the experience that the Fonz had on Happy Days, stop in here and get a grilled cheese, unlimited coffee, and a banana split!

Hollywood Grill
1601 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Don’t let the hot pink, grimy-looking exterior throw you off. This place is great after a night out on the town. The food comes out fast! Especially when you’re a little drunk.

Good Friend Food
There is nothing like good conversation of good food. Take your friends out for a cheap meal at your favorite diner! I’ve had some of the best conversations at diners!
The Best Chicago Diners
2. Mom and Pop Owned
Most of the diners in Chicago, were started in the 50’s and 60’s by those who understood the importance of greasy American food in a casual atmosphere. Many of these diners are still small businesses and keep up the tradition of serving Chicago great late night food!
4. Hungover?
Drag your sorry hung over ass to the diner! That greasy goodness and a cup of coffee will wake ya right up!!
6. The Coffee Flows Like Water
At diners, there is a constant supply of coffee. This is great for all of you who are coffee sluts like me! I can’t get enough black coffee to pour down my over caffeinated veins! Diners help support that coffee addiction.
8. Technology Does Not Exist Here
Have you ever noticed that a new POS system has not been brought into the diner scene? Every ticket is hand written and calculated manually. Why change? They like how things have been done for 40 years!
10. Let It Take You Back...
Before there were fast food joints, there were diners. Instead of driving by to grab a burger, come in and sit down to eat it! It’s fast service without the annoying intercom to talk into!
12. The Waitresses Crack Me Up!
The waitresses in every diner across America could probably be summed up into a few words: hard worker, kooky, can crack the jokes.
Gotta love your diner waitresses. Go ahead, give her a good tip!
13. You Don't Have To Be Rich
You don’t have to have a lot of money to eat at diners. That’s why I love them! They’re cheap, you eat a ton of food, can visit with friends, and still have money in your pocket for more food later!
Vegetarian? Eat Here!!
Chicago Diner
3411 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60657
All vegetarian diner food, all the time! On the weekends the wait may be out the door, but it’s worth it! The vegan milk shakes and muffins are to die for! You might even forget you’re in a diner!

Aliens Like Diners Too!
Next time you see one, just invite them to lunch. I’m sure there will be much to talk about over coffee.
The Nuggets Are Everywhere!
Golden Nugget Pancake House
4747 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60640
There is a Golden Nugget on practically every corner on the North Side of Chicago. You can’t miss it. I frequent this particular location often though. Pretty much the same as the Golden Apple…. mmmm delicious!

Eat their pies!! Eat their pies!! This is one of my favorite diners to go and eat greasy food until my face falls off with friends. Then chat it up with the wait staff for interesting conversation!
