Don's Grill

Pilson classic! Open 24/7 love their food and customer service is always 10/10. My personal favorite is their omelette. And their prices can't be matched super affordable and great portions!

Good breakfast spot, when looking for it you might end up passing it so take your time when you get close. The parking lot is very small. The service was on point and the food was tasty. I went in the morning so the food was hot and fresh. I would definitely be going back.

From the street it looks like any drive-by 24 hour greasy spoon diner. The parking lot is smaller fitting about 10 cars and like any all-night grill is littered with remnants of busted taillights. But at least they have a parking lot and it's adds character. Now the neighborhood used to be kind of tough but is on the upswing and the customer base is diverse. I showed up at lunch time when they were busy and considering it's about 10 or 12 stools snd a counter to eat at so I was lucky a few people were leaving so I grabbed a seat. Now like I said from the street it doesn't look like much but when you walk inside that's when the magic happens. Inside it is super clean and it's all obvious the folks here put a lot of elbow grease into it. The few street diners that are still around have really upgraded and Don's is no different. Behind the counter were two servers snd two grill cooks and everybody was hustling. One of my favorite things is to watch the cooks work their magic in front of the grill. Working a diner grill as a short order is an art and these guys were masters. They moved with ease and had a rhythm together. The servers were super friendly and moved in time just like the cooks. They knew their business and knew how to get by each other in a small confined area never missing a beat or taking a wrong order. These are the folks that make up this kind of place. They are the life's blood of the old school counter diner. The menus are usually pretty limited so having already had a greasy catering breakfast on the studio lot I opted for a cheeseburger. I wish I had done breakfast here as the way these guys worked the grill and the breakfast they put out was fantastic. The cheeseburger or rather got he cheeseburger if I am to be honest was pretty dam good. It wasn't greasy and burnt and had very fresh crisp lettuce on top with tomato and done grilled onions wedged between a poppy seed burger bun. The fries were standard but not dripping with grease like other places. They too were crisp and cooked well. Even the condiments were top brand name and not off brands on the cheap. The napkins were solid and large that stayed together when you use them. You can always tell a place by the quality of napkin and Don's is quality. I be returning to Don's late night fir breakfast as I love diner characters and this place is film noir all the way, guys straight out if a Damon Runyon story. Try Don's grill out for yourself. (For those who do read my reviews I greatly appreciate it. I will have a surprise fir all as I'll be taking my review show on the road driving and reviewing cross country very soon. Places no one would think of reviewing. Hope you keep reading and enjoying.)

I read another review on here that compared it to a Waffle House and that is absolutely correct. It's a gritty, low-key diner. No frills, basic menu, and so so good. For less than $25 we got, 2 coffees (free refills) and 2 full breakfast meals: (1) 1/2 lb chopped steak with 3 eggs and hashbrowns (2) 2 x 4, which included 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon strips; and for $2 extra I substituted for french toast and added hash browns.Everything was delicious and the wait staff is incredibly sweet and attentive. I do caution, though, if you dine-in, it's very cramped. I didn't get a photo, but there's only counter seating. There aren't any tables and the restaurant is very small. It was busy when we went on a Saturday at noon. All seats were taken and everyone was elbow to elbow.They do have a parking lot, but it's also very small and there's only space for about 5 cars.

Lying in my bed at the time craving breakfast, I decided on visiting 'Don's Grill' despite the many diners I could have visited within a shorter radius of my apartment. Don's has always captured my eye while driving enroute to Little Village neighborhood, intriguing me with its old-fashioned diner appearance.Furthermore, I walked in to Don's immediately looking for a seat which there were not many in its small dining area. I was fortunate to find a seat next to an older friendly gentleman out of the few open with some held by customers belongings which was slightly irritating. The dining area appeared just like its old-fashioned exterior which makes me personally think about my teenage years working at Steak 'n Shake. During my visit I could not help but to continuously think how small the kitchen area is, but the employees coincide perfectly together like one machine; serving its customers despite working all in the same area. It works out because they catch things other restaurants miss, such as that customer needing to order, a customer needing a fill-up on a beverage, or even that customer ready to check out. All you have to do is sit there an admire this tight-knit, well-lubricated machine and best believe someone will get right to you.As for my order, I ordered the 'Ham off the Bone & Eggs' despite taking an interest in the 'Ham Scrambler' which is pretty much the same thing even though with the scrambler you get 3 Eggs instead of 2, the ham is diced, and the price is 50 cents more.Customer service was so quick that I did not get the chance to read the book I brought or let alone make future plans. Hell, once I ordered I hopped on Yelp to add notes and before I knew it my food was in front of me which I cannot complain. And literally, I was asked three different times by three different employees if I wanted hot sauce which is how mindful this machine works.Attentive during my visit; taking visual notes of the heartwarming employee-to-customer interaction which had a friendly holiday spirit like vibe. It prompted me to interact with the employees in realization that I was in a genuine place, as well as realizing that Don's is truly a hidden gem!In closing, I'am quite positive that I will return because I enjoyed my meal, as well as the positive environment at this restaurant. With that being said, I most definitely recommend Don's Grill.~Blessings~Thomas G

Probably one of the most confortable and relaxing places in the area. This place is a bar style kind of place. Not many seats. So don't bring your whole family, unless its just a few people. The menu is very simple and with some good choices. I loved the whole experience. We ordered french toast, coffee, chocolate milk and side of bacon. Coffee was ok not as strong for my liking. French toast were very good. We were sitting right behind the cooks cooking and everything seemed so delicious. Pleople here make you feel like home. Prices are not bad at all.I will be comming back soon.

This diner is pretty average. Their menu has good selection for any time of the day. Food is OK. Service is friendly and efficient.

My food was super fresh and the chef was sooo sweet. Would definitely be back. I got a steak sandwich with no cheese and French fries.

This was a nice diner. We had Great service and Good food! Thanks for the suggestion!

Tee M-D..OMG, I have been riding past this diner for years. One morning I had a craving for some old fashion breakfast.. then I remembered passing this diner that says "ham off bone" well, to make a long story short...it was awesome!! I have been coming almost twice a week. This is now the family spot for breakfast.. fast service, detailed. My favorite spot!!!
