We came in after a concert, and the owner was so kind and chatting with everyone. Food was also fireeeeee so 10/10

The food is good but every time I come here I give my name and then they ask me over and over again if I'm sure that the food is mine. I showed the worker my pickup order receipt on Doordash today and he asked me two more times if I'm sure the order is mine. Bizarre. Weird vibe. read more

Stopped in since I heard they reopened after a fire. It's the same layout, now just more modernized. It's under new management but still in the family. A was greeted with a hearty "Hello!!" from the guy behind the counter. I told him I just need a moment. I decided to try skirt steak sandwich. I received my skirt steak and after the first tender bite, it took me back. The garlic bread was buttery and garlicky. The lettuce, tomatoes and grilled onions all added to the taste. The fresh cut fries were salted well and really stood up the secret French fries dip. I don't know what makes up the dip, but it was so good, I put some on my skirt steak sandwich. For dessert I tried one of their doughnuts, it was dusted with cinnamon and sugar. It was superb. Light and fluffy without being too sweet. Looking forward to coming back and trying the hot dogs. read more

Amazing breakfast spot! Glad that they re-opened just in time for my visit (lol). I went to Art's the morning after a 16-hour flight so you cannot imagine how grateful I was for a hearty breakfast meal. Service was quick. Ambience was reminiscent of a diner from the 80s. Will come back. read more

the greek chicken sandwich is my absolute favorite to order. solid burgers. it's especially helpful that they're open until 11pm- so many places in the city close before people even get off of work now! the staff running the place are super nice. the watermelon lemonade is also fun to pair w everything. will be back to try their desserts as well. read more

The fact that I have never eaten here and driven by 100 times is an abomination to Humanity. Coming back from salt shed we popped and Art hooked us up. Philly cheesesteak. Anyone who knows - knows and this was best I've had In Chicago Art told me the beef and how they make it. Was the best. Wife through down a burger that she loves and Greek fries were spot on. Bottom line. This lace takes pride in their food. Period. Art is a stud welcoming everyone in and this place nailed it. read more

I stopped by Arts Drive-In for breakfast the other day and was blown away -- the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. I went back today for lunch and tried the bacon cheeseburger... wow, absolutely amazing! You can really tell they care about the food and the customers.

[ August 2025 ] I've been by here 30,000 times but finally stopped for a char dog. Art's is truly a Chicago-style hot dog and the fries are wrapped in with it. Great service and good prices. Don't pass Art's by! read more

Listen, time to stop trying to beat them and just start joining them. Here, the working people of Chicago congregate for their breakfast, lunch, and dinner rituals. And here, those same folks take a princess with soft hands like mine under their wing. A fellow patron lets me know my strong, hot black coffee is ready. Alex slides me a piece of carrot cake. I am ready for a really amazing Greek omelette - one to rival the no frills diner of childhood dreams. We get a pastrami breakfast sandwich and it is juicy, tasty, out of this world. I dined out the other weekend w a great Greek salad and a cheese fry to boot. Great ambiance - I can't get over the gritty Chicago street view shots. I've been waiting for you Art's. read more

For someone who has never cooked, I think I would know a good take-out place. The food is outstanding...what else can I say? The steak & eggs remind me of the Golden Nugget in Vegas back in the days where they were the best in town for $2.99. One of my favorites is the Biftekia dinner which is flavorful and filling. Their salads are fresh they make hashbrowns the way I like: cut up in pieces, not like the shredded kind you find in greasy cheap diners. The bread is a bit over-buttered but that's just my preference. They are open early and close late which is perfect for my lifestyle. read more

This is the best fast food in town. Hands down! Very good quality and cooked with care and tasteful. BIG PORTIONS! My favorites: Greek Salad with grilled chicken, Steak Dinner or sandwich, you can't go wrong with these. The burgers and soups are also good. Rice pudding is the best I've had with a hint of citrus... It is a place that you will come out feeling good. Friendly people that will make you feel that you're home. read more

I had a Monte Cristo sandwich and enjoyed the intense savory and sweet experience. Flashback to the 1960s! Friendly service. Clean. Parking lot right in front is a great bonus in the winter. read more

I think this is a revitalized Greek diner. Colorful and clean. Boisterous and charming staff. Wife had an egg and pastrami sandwich and I had the skirt steak sandwich. Both were served on nice soft small baguettes. Hash browns tasted very fresh. Everything was delicious and homey. Unexpectedly decent coffee too. read more

Great food and the friendliest service around. Potato soup rules. All around great vibes

I visited this restaurant yesterday and was there for over an hour enjoying the various items on the menu. For starters, the Italian beef sandwich was like no other, the bread was not overly saturated, the beef was tender and flavorful and the amount of peppers were perfect! The onion rings and customized dipping sauce was delish! I think this restaurant skips the seed oils and uses olive oil because the taste was totally different than what I have ever had. The Greek yogurt and Greek honey was to die for, my gut microbiome was pleased as my face was glowing in the morning; zero puffiness. I finished my meal with green tea and a splash of Greek honey which I need to go back and purchase as it was like no other. The service was the best I have ever experienced. Art was very welcoming and accomodating, it felt like home. It was so convenient to wait for my car to get washed next door while grabbing a bite. read more

DELICIOUS, QUALITY FOOD! Best Greek salad, burger and cheese fries in the city- bonus points for everything being seed oil free! The quality is 10/10 and the owner treated us like family. We will be back!! read more

I cannot believe how lucky we were to come across Art's! We were kayaking and our tour guide mentioned it. We were hungry afterwards and it was open late so we decided to stop by. I have to start by saying, we were treated as family from the time we walked in to the time we left. The food is incredible, yes, but the atmosphere and the banter was the best part. We were immediately warmly welcomed. We ordered a hotdog and Greek fries and my husband decided he *needed* the pastrami burger as well. I'm so glad he did. The owner referred to it as life changing and he wasn't wrong. The most insane and flavorful burger and pastrami I've ever had. My husband labeled it the best burger he's ever had in his life, and I definitely agree. The Greek fries were incredible. The feta was amazing and the lemon flavoring on them was perfect. When we decided to come to Chicago for the weekend, I took HOURS researching food and restaurants. Art's was never on my list but ended up being the best food BY FAR that we had the entire trip. We're so grateful we came across it! We'll be back! Thank you for food, love, and hospitality. read more

First time, got the steak sammy and some mozzarella sticks. Place rips and customer service sealed the deal. Thank you!

The combination of quality ingredients and awesome customer service is sure to have you hooked! Art himself is bright and friendly, willing to go out of his way to make sure everyone is taken care of just like family I ordered the skirt steak dinner, everything was excellently cooked. And surprisingly enough the salad was my favorite part, the cheese the dressing, top tier! Thank you Art and staff! Family Friendly and an inviting atmosphere read more

We ordered delivery from here and it was soooo good! The Philly cheesesteak might have been the best, but the hand breaded chicken tenders, I ordered for my kid but had to steal a few since the flavor was incredible. The steak sandwich also had amazing flavors but the only downside was, because it is skirt steak, it's kinda hard to eat in a sandwich. I'd still order it again though. My other daughter had the pancakes and they were fluffy and delicious read more

Been by Art's a million times and always wanted to go, then it closed and I was super bummed. Then I read online they were reopening. Decided to stop grab some breakfast after going shopping, and glad we did. My g/f and I both got omelettes. Very, very tasting and definitely beat any expectations I had. Staff was nice. Although it is a diner, could use a bit more ambience. Also not a fan of "packets" of sauce (we had hot) when eating in. Will definitely be back. If you happen to be driving by, stop in and grab some food. Support local "fast" food. read more

I'm a long time customer of Arts Drive-In of the old regime and the new regime. I'm at the new owner and he was personable attentive and busy making everything run and work together. I ordered the Philly cheese steak and it was delicious. The beef was well seasoned and combined with white American cheese. Now it wasn't the best I ever had like the owner said but the sandwich deserves to be noted! Open till midnight and they serve breakfast all day long. At 11pm @ night the place was still busy. They must be doing something right. There is table sitting as well as counter-row sitting against the window. Just a friendly side note to the owner, if he wanted to hit that Philly cheese steak out the ball park. Toast the bread with some garlic butter! But regardless, the sandwich was still great! read more

What a great spot! Highly recommend! Service, people, environment and food all a 10/10. Will 100% be returning! Greek fries were so fresh and delicious.

We are so excited that one of our favorite spots has reopened! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a giant smile and a warm hello--it felt like coming home. The space looks fantastic with its fresh updates, but thankfully, the food is just as good as we remembered. My daughters and I ordered a little bit of everything: patty melts, Monte Cristos, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and of course, milkshakes. Every bite was absolutely delicious. The only challenge? Trying to finish it all! No complaints, though--we packed up the leftovers and happily polished them off later in the day. Can't wait for our next visit! read more
