Chicago Grill

The Chicago Grill. What can one say? It's at the corner of Irving Park Road and Pulaski, to be sure. It serves eggs, coffee, toast, hash browns,  etc. I, and one other, ordered eggs over easy, hash browns, and buttered wheat toast. The service was good, friendly. Though, the waitress had an unsettling series of moles, including one translucent hairy-barker on her wrist. When we ordered our food, it did take a bit more time than is usual, but the results were good enough.  The eggs were undercooked.

The decor: folding chairs, and plastic tables and plates, a tack board with pictures of dogs and children, a pay phone that's shut off from eleven at night until five in the morning, a toothless woman drinking coffee at the counter, bus drivers. The staff seemed unaccustomed to tips.

I give it a three of five.
