This place used to be so good last year, but the most recent time I ordered, there was a hair in my skillet, and the biscuits and gravy made me physically sick.
Not a fan as I did not enjoy the food. The service was great though.
Atmosphere was ok Service was not good. The waiter did not check on is when we needed him twice.

“This classic diner is great for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night bite.”
This classic diner is great for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night bite. The menu is huge, with everything from eggs and pancakes to burgers and comfort food favorites. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the atmosphere has that old-school charm. It’s the kind of place you can always count on for a hearty meal.

“What can I say? It's a staple every time I visit Chicago.”
What can I say? It's a staple every time I visit Chicago. The food is delicious and is only out done by the atmosphere of the restaurant. I gave it 5 stars because it wouldn't let me give 6.

I have a BBQ sandwich, and it’s a little bit to salty for me. But it’s still good. Pancakes with blueberry cost 14.99. The blueberry is great.

“My husband and I had a great experience at White Palace Grill.”
My husband and I had a great experience at White Palace Grill. We enjoyed the Magnificent Seven - we ordered the pancakes - bacon - and eggs - with a side of orange juice. It was absolutely delicious. The pancakes were so fluffy and soft - it tasted absolutely amazing. We were skeptical at first because it is super difficult to find a reasonable establishment here in Chicago. Most diners are either overly expensive and the food isn’t as tasty. But this restaurant - I can understand why they are in business. The customer service was exceptional - the food was excellent - and the orange juice tasted great. I would highly recommend White Palace Grill.

“A 24 hour diner if there ever was one.”
A 24 hour diner if there ever was one. Good extensive menu with a solid selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Food was exactly what I'd expect of a place like this at 5am and I was delicious. Four to six am I would say is peak time to go if you want the best early morning diner experience.

“I didn't actually eat here.”
I didn't actually eat here! We just stopped in to use the restroom. The manager/owner was so kind. The rest of the staff was sweet, too. If their spirits are any indication of the food, then the food is bomb. Gonna have to come back and try it!
