Great and friendly staff with a great atmosphere. Older crowd that gets rowdy and sometimes emotional here but overall a fun place. Food is good but I usually belly up at the bar so couldn't really tell ya. Recommend.

Great hamburger place! Huge burgers with lots of toppings. Good fries too. Outdoor patio was pleasant and they have live music on certain evenings. Fun place to hang out with little ones and watch the Metra train. For dessert, there's an ice cream shop around the corner as well.

Went to dinner last night. I have been to Grandpas many times and always enjoyed my visit. Normally, I would give this place 4 stars. Yesterday, I had the Thai Chicken salad and found a long hair in my meal. I couldn't eat anymore. I told our waiter and not even an apology or some sort of meal compensation. I would have accepted a free drink. In case you are questioning if it could be my hair, I have extremely short hair. I do hope the cooks are wearing hairnets. I was disappointed last night.

Food is good, service was good. I love the old pub feel on the inside. They have an outside patio that looks awesome for when the weather is warmer out. Overall think it's a great place!

Food is above average, nice outdoor patio. Service is pleasant but inexperienced. Had tater tots on the side with my Mini burgers, highly recommend. My dining companion had chicken kebab. The food is excellent The restaurant has a nice old school vibe. Nice selection of cocktails and beers, bottles and draft. Plenty of on street parking and in the nearby Metra lots.

This place is a little hidden behind trees at the Glenview Metra station. Thats probably why this was my first time here after driving near it so many times. I knew it was there but just hadn't made the effort. I sat outside for lunch and the setting was very peaceful since it doesn't sit on a busy street. I heard more birds than cars. I saw one Metra and one Amtrak train pass while I was eating my very tasty Cobb salad. I'd rather see a couple commuter trains pass by than a bunch of loud cars and motorcycles any day of the week. The salad had fresh chunks of avocado, crunchy tortilla strips, corn, beans and juicy tomatoes. They were out of the house balsamic so I got the honey mustard which was very good. Certainly not gonna subtract a review star for the dressing since the salad was great and the outdoor, shady quiet patio was a beautiful setting. I'd like to come back for a burger since a huge part of the menu was different types. The young server Sam was a very friendly, nice young man. Really nice place.

If your looking for a place to get a beer with some cronies, this is the place. Pass on the food because it is not good. In my 40 years since going to Grandpas, the service and food were not worth paying for. Although it was Sunday in November. Same barflies as were there 30 years ago. Owners should improve on the food short comings and bring back the service from past.

Best bar food in the area if you ask me. Inside dining room is weird but outdoor patio and bar area is legit. Good drinks, burgers are probly some of the best in the area. Chicken kabobs are an absolute must try here with the peanut sauce. Service is pretty good too. Great food

Grandpa's checks all the boxes for a great bar/restaurant. 1st they pour a perfect Half and Half, it's a work of art to float Guinness on top. 2nd the outdoor deck is always ready for those unexpected warm days from late fall to early spring. Plus they can open up other outdoor seating areas if they get busy. 3rd Inside they have a classic wooden bar and a cozy fireplace area with comfy couches and board games. 4th Trains trains trains ... Metra, Amtrak, freight ... just sit and enjoy. 5th love the chili, Rueben, fish & chips, daily specials ... reliably tasty food. 6th Staff is super friendly. 7th check the website for live music, especially Irish tunes. 8th during summer, take kids to park on west side of tracks and get a cone. 9th plenty of parking 10th did I mention their great Half and Half?

I took my kids here on a Wednesday evening and it was great! Not crowded, friendly service, and kid friendly. The food was good and good drinks. The kids were happy to watch a ball game on the tv and the "living room" area was fun! Can't wait to come here in the summer to sit on the patio.
