Jefferson Park Grill

Jefferson Park Grill has been here as long as I can remember. It's kind of difficult to find parking as it's right in the bus turn around @ Jefferson Park. If your lucky you may find parking on the Milwaukee Ave right alongside but it's metered & very limited number of spaces. I finally stopped by as there was 'A' metered spot on Milwaukee. Jefferson Park Grill has a fairly large choice of items but my heart & stomach had already decided on The hobo skillet. The Hobo Skillet has hash browns, onions, sausage, bacon, cheese & 2 eggs on top over east. Delicious cardiac city.

My apologies for being the bearer of bad news, but this restaurant is not a 4-star-plus establishment. This location is near an enormous and active transit hub, which led me to believe that the rating cannot be incorrect as a variety of people would have eaten here and the wisdom of the crowd would provide a good overall recommendation.The wisdom of crowds was wrong, unfortunately. Wanting some Chicago comfort food I ordered the gyro and fries. The gyro meat was burnt, hard to the bite, and not good at all. The fries were also overcooked. If the chef would have thrown away the burnt gyro meat on the front of the meat slab, I probably would have had an edible meal. The tomatoes and other produce in my meal wasn't good, kind of weird. Perhaps it was prepped a few days prior and refrigerated?The three other people in my party also had similar experiences with the meals they ordered. My apologies, but the food is not good at this restaurant.

Since moving to the area, I stumbled across this GEM of a "diner". Just steps away from the Jefferson Park Blue Line stop, this is definitely worth a detour on your journey to and from the city!Upon entering the owners? are extremely pleasant and professional with taking your order. No matter what time of day you choose to visit, they are eager to help and serve you. The food is "diner" style comfort foods that includes a wide variety of breakfast foods and sandwiches/burgers. Everything I have tried so far is absolutely delicious and is presented in VERY generous portions. Personally the "Hillbilly Skillet" is my absolute favorite. I'm not sure that I've had a better breakfast dish anywhere. It is PERFECT!The only thing about this place that makes me sad, is that I've very often the only or one of two people inside. A place this amazing needs to be busy! I'm terrified that they will not make it and Jefferson Park will lose this amazing place. Please visit them often and see what you're missing. I know I will continue to be there as regularly as possible!

The word "diner" does not capture the humble nature of this place (think plastic eating utensils and no ice water) but the service is friendly in a Chicago/Polish kind of way. As for food, do not get too adventurous with the menu, but the Polish sausage is indeed excellent, and they have a strong hand on a hot deep fryer, so the french fries, chicken tenders, and things like that will not disappoint. Not a bad refuge for the hungry.

Best polish in Chicago, full stop. Mike is the owner and he's a great guy and pretty much everything is super reasonably priced and very tasty. I'm actually kind of surprised that this place is not busy literally all the time. I would absolutely go here... It's a true diner experience, and he will not leave hungry or disappointed. The quality is top notch.

Yes yes yes this plate hit the spot always a great breakfast thanks Mike I will be back

The Polish and Fries lunch special is really quite good, speaking as an out-of-towner who has not tried this before. Great, friendly service makes you want to come back and the "real Chicago feel" if you are riding the Blue Line from the airport and looking for something authentic and good to eat.

Classic breakfast joint located near the train and bus station. Didn't see much parking nearby, just the busy parking lot for the train station. Went mid morning on a weekday and didn't have any wait for a table. Service was quick and ordered a simple 2 egg breakfast dish.

Outstanding Customer Service! The owners are so sweet and the food quality is fresh. It's better to call ahead when ordering in the morning and give them some time to prepare. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming like you're coming to your grandparents home.

Thankfully Jefferson Park Grill is still around serving big portions and at a fair price. The owner Mike, his wife, and staff are always friendly and take pride in serving you breakfast, lunch or dinner. Today I had the Chicken Breast, fries, and drink. When I say the sandwich was huge and the portion of fries is large I'm not kidding. The chicken breast is cooked on the grill and has lettuce,tomato,onion and mayo on a bun with a pickle on the side. Very tasty and very filling. I'll put this chicken sandwich up against Popeye's any time. The gyro plate is another go to if your taste buds are saying feed me gyros today. There is literally something for everyone here. Large menu, fair prices and large portions.
