RJ Grunts

delicious greasy grub (and a salad bar !) in a typical 70s atmosphere. the music is excellent but it's the service that really stands out, from the minute you set foot through the revolving door. A++

Go for the salad bar . Burgers are great too. It's a little cramped but fun atmosphere . Great place to go before or after zoo

There are only two places I will eat ground meat . RJ Grunts tops my list! They also have very good gluten-free buns , and you never know who you'll run into there. :-)

The salad and soup buffet is DELICIOUS! ???? Great music , the bartender is really cute . If you came by yourself, sit on the bar . Free wifi .

I liked the Strawberry Daiquiri , but the "lone independent strawberry riding on top with whipped cream " was missing; NBD, but should have been told that they were out

Loved the yowza burger - peppercorn beef , spicy ketchup , pepper jack & smoked bacon . Save room for a shake ! Ask for a booth by the window for views of the park .

So, do you get the famous burgers or the famous salad bar ? Split a burger and each get the salad bar ! The kitchen even cut our burger in half and served it on two plates.

If you like spicy food , get the hottest wings they have. I got the "Really Hot" and didn't think they were spicy at all. The peanut butter shake is incredible.

There are plenty of things to love about this neighborhood standby—the cartoony menu, the milkshakes , the salad bar—but the burgers top the list. Read more

Staff is so friendly and the burgers are really delicious.The tables are a little thight but it’s anyhow ok for the groups.Open salad bar is also so satisfactory.

Lettuce Entertain You launched its empire—and Chicago’s first salad bar—in 1971 at this comfort-food icon. Try the Grunt burger , BBQ ribs , and the cookie in a bowl. Read more

This tightly packed hamburger shack is where to get the thick, juicy “Gruntburger,” topped with addictive fried onions and blue-cheese dressing Read more

Lettuce Entertain You is the best when it comes to handling food allergies; the rest of the restaurant industry needs to take note. I have a ton of food allergies & I'm always comfortable eating here!

Half prices apps and wings 3-6. This place is ultimate throwback. 70's. French onion soup is the real deal

Best salad bar in Chicago, unbelievable chili and to die for burgers ...paired with your favorite pint and you can't go wrong!

Kid friendly . Mother approved. Park your stroller outside with a complimentary lock.

Without a doubt the best chocolate chip cream cheese dip in the world! Get it from the salad bar and add it to some graham crackers , I sometimes come just for that!

Great suprise around the corner. Buffalo wings are to die for. Super cosy bar .

Fish and chips , buffalo nachos , burgers , salad bar . Been eating here for over five years and my favorite north side spot thus far. Everything is great!

Was here once a million years ago. I think it was fine. Remember drinking Newcastle and enjoying it. I guess its named for some bird the owner was giving it to or something. That's funny.

Went on a very crowded evening during the holidays, but service was great and food was tasty!

Service is always good, food is pretty good. No place to be fancy , jeans will work. Nice location, good atmosphere...if your looking for a good burger & beer this is your place ; )

talk to the adorable little bartender called ella. give her all the money in your wallet/purse/bank account for tip.

The burgers are good and the kitchen is open later than most kitchens in the area.

The salad bar is good but the burgers are where it's at! The wings are tasty, too. Three Floyds on draught , sometimes seasonal.

Order the chicken wings . Milkshakes and malts are great here too.

R J Grunts has improved on the classic grilled cheese by simply adding...more cheese . No one can claim this thing is balanced, but that's really not the point.

Haven't been here for years. Still the same. Great food, salad bar and service. Classic!!

I love the burgers , especially the mushroom swiss burger .

This place has an expansive salad bar , but try the peppercorn burger ! Also, shakes here are amazing & reasonably priced.

First Lettuce Entertain You restaurant , and as good as it was 20 years ago.

Place rocks. Music is all 70s . Totally go back.

Kind of an unorganized mess getting in on a weekend. Tons of children running around. Big salad bar , burgers ... Basically if you are not close enough to Ruby Tuesdays or TgiFridays go here

3 dollar tall boy PBRs might be the best regular drink special in the area

The soup being the price of the temperature outside is a pretty good little gimmick. I loved the burger . The chips , not so much. Definitely going back though. Read more

great good and service, highly recommend this restaurant ! Try the Salad Bar !

The best burgers and and great service as well as the bar make great cocktails .

Amazing salad bar and tasty burgers !

One of the best hamburguers in my life!

Great place and amazing service! Lauren was awesome!

I can't really recommend their house cocktails : stick to beer and wine .

They have the most amazing music here :) oh and the burgers are pretty fantastic ;)

Manager got a bit defensive about a tweet regarding a missing ingredient in the cocktail ; NBD, but he just basically gave me the impression he doesn't understand customer service

Order the buffalo chicken nachos ! They are perfection!

Hamburgers are legit.

French onion soup !
