“The Hollywood Grill was such a great surprise. From the classic diner look to all the Hollywood-themed decor, the place has a ton of character. It felt like stepping into an old-school diner you see in movies. The atmosphere was awesome. The servers were incredibly friendly too. Always smiling, checking in on us, and making us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. I ordered the Southwest Benedict with chorizo, bell peppers, pico de gallo, and hollandaise sauce. OMG. One bite and I was sold. This had to be one of the best Benedicts I've ever had. The eggs were cooked perfectly with a rich runny yolk that mixed into the hollandaise sauce and coated everything underneath. The sauce itself was creamy, buttery, and smooth without being too heavy. Then the chorizo came in with a smoky, slightly spicy flavor that gave every bite some real personality. While the pico de gallo brought a bright, zesty kick that balanced out all the richness from the yolk and sauce. I've had a lot of Benedicts over the years, and I'm honestly going to say this is the best one I've ever had. I'd come back just for this dish alone.”
“Late night dinner rescue! HOLLYWOOD GRILL had what we were looking for..warm food, food service and a no rush attitude”
“The vintage vibes are everything! Super friendly staff, clean, and delicious food! Glad to hear it's open 24/7 , can't wait to go back.”
“Great spot to get some early before work breakfast. They do have a parking lot so free parking haha me and my fiance were served by Irma (one of the sweetest people I've met ❤️). We both ordered the Skirt steak and eggs and BOY let me say! It was delicious 😋 couldn't stop eating 🤤 Cooked to perfection 👌 Irma made sure to check in on us. She provided fantastic service ⭐️ This place stays open 24/7. What more can you ask for? Gets 10 out of 10 stars from me 🌟🤩🌟”
“What a find! Perfect blend of charm, warm smiles, and diverse menu. Our waitress was kind and engaging. They had the classics you would expect and some creative dishes you wouldn't. I went with classic and my wife tried the Churro French Toast! Wow! I even had a couple bites of hers and was impressed! It is definitely worth trying out.”
“I’ve been a customer of Hollywood Grill for many years, and today’s lunch reminded me why I keep coming back. I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised by their $12 menu. Considering the cost of food in the area right now, this is an excellent value. I ordered the chicken kebab, and it was absolutely outstanding. The flavor was amazing, especially for the price point. The meal included a generous portion of chicken kebab, rice, a fresh salad, pita bread, all the trimmings, and even a cup of soup. Everything was well prepared and satisfying. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend this special. It’s well worth it and tastes great.”
“This place is exactly what it should be. A no frills diner that is great with kids or a late night meal after a few drinks. Everything we've ever had here has been great.”
“Breakfast was great !good steak eggs the day I ordered and pancakes light and fluffy what else can you ask for ... Coffee and it wasn't bad either”
“This place had the old timer feel for sure. Our waitress says she been there 20+ years. The guy at the counter looked like he been coming there 40 years. & let's not forget the retired Chicago police department officer who stared me down. I looked at him like he was looking at me and said "how's it goin" x2 then he finally replied yup. I debuted yup is your awsner old man, you can take a photo if you like" he didnt but it was entertaining for me none the less. Food was great, service equally great & it is close to the spot!”
“I came here on a Thursday morning around 11am, it was New Years Day. We waited about 10 minutes for a table and there were three of us (2 adults, 1 child). There was a very long line which felt intimidating but it moved fast and there were a lot of big parties. The service was okay, it was busy. However I did feel rushed to order and then it took a long time to get the check. Although again they were very busy. I got a traditional Breakfast plate, bacon, wheat toast, over easy eggs, and hashbrowns. They also have Tabasco as their hot sauce. My child got a chocolate milkshake, the Mickey Mouse Pancakes (comes with pine apple and cherries), and a side of bacon. He liked it and loved the shake. My partner got the Caprese Omlette without bacon, hashbrowns. He liked it a lot. The adults got hot coffee, which was nearly impossible to get a refill. The vibe is a traditional diner, good food, fun and busy environment. Definitely recommend for a tasty breakfast.”
