I usually stop at the Niles Grill when I get my car serviced at the Ford dealership down the street. I stopped in for a couple eggs over easy and some corned beef hash and orange juice today. I find this old diner fun to come to every once in a while. read more

Niles Grill & Diner - Diners Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Always a good spot for a good breakfast friendly service at a good price I have been there many times

I didn't even reach the front door before I had a smile. When you walk inside it just screams 1950s memorabilia and coca-cola. It is a fun place to take family. Even the sparkle booths. Unfortunately, the food is also 1950s style. The omelette is definitely diner style folded omelette, and the ham is straight off the bone and the cheese. The hash browns tasted of... potato. No seasoning, hash browns were just slide potatoes. I really hoped for a good seasoned hash brown. The service was top notch. Drink always filled. Food came as soon as it was ready. The price is excellent though. Definitely worth trying out. Fun little trip to the past. read more

Niles Grill & Diner - Basic breakfast with crisp yummy bacon. - Diners Near Me - Niles, Illinois

This place is not very aesthetically pleasing just driving by. But I always wanted to go, because I live in Niles and it's called Niles Grill. So I finally made it out to breakfast with a few friends(Luke Duke and O-Rod) on their recommendation, and it did not disappoint. This place gives great vibes when you walk in. Literally, everyone you encounter says good morning to you. Everyone is so nice. Now, onto the food. I ordered steak and eggs. I like to keep it simple. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the eggs, which I ordered over-easy, were also great. They were cooked so well that they almost looked fake. Oh, and for an added bonus, the toast comes buttered. Also, my coffee never got cold because they were constantly topping it off. My one friend I came with, I don't recall what he ordered because he was done with his meal before I was halfway done with my meal. I'm assuming that means he thoroughly enjoyed it. This could be the best breakfast spot in Niles. read more

Cute retro diner with amazing waitstaff and an abundance of good food. Omelettes are huge and very tasty. Best breakfast sausage patty I've ever had. read more

Always come here often. Has a 50s type vibe to the place. Used to be an I Hope restaurant in the 90's. Has a nice CD jukebox. The waitresses are friendly and the food is great. Highly recommended! read more

Perfect!!!! Great family joint! Growing up in Niles, but while being away for almost 25 years, my Dad still lives down the street. This location used to be the old Ihop. Great place to take my dad when I come into town and get him some home cooking. He loves coming here. The service is out of this world, the prices are cheap and the food is just like home! read more

I will say that the food was good. The serving of fries is generous. The server was friendly but took a bit longer as she was working alone. I did like the decor and setup. The reason I'm giving them two stars is for the food. I took three stars off for the smoking, most likely in the restrooms. I can't stand to eat my food with smoke in the space, including in my two-year-old's face. When we brought it up at check-out, we were told they'd had that problem. HOWEVER, from what we witnessed, it was an employee or someone who went from the restroom to the kitchen/back area. read more

The food was great, the service was wonderful. The place is set up like an old time diner, with a jukebox. The owner was there cooking and he was very nice. The price were almost pre pandemic which you don't see anywhere anymore. We will be back. read more

We were looking for a quick bite to eat and stopped in here. When I first sat down and taking in the ambience I started to think I made a mistake. I felt like I time traveled back into the late 1970's or early 80's - no kidding. Wait staff was very attentive and the food was excellent. No regrets actually very pleased. Will return. read more

Dropped in last weekend for brunch since I had a doctor's appointment around the corner with my two kids. The pancakes here were strong and the place worked out well as a kid-friendly option where my 4- and 2-year-old could make some noise, color some pictures, and move quickly from dining to leaving (with kids, I like to get in and out in 30-40 minutes, very doable here). For the price, you can do a lot of damage here for $8-$10/person if you order the right combinations, so kudos as well for the fair pricing. Not perfect, since the space isn't exactly sexy, but this is another great example of why I love Chicago...plenty of great diners! read more

I came in for breakfast and ordered the Niles Grill Skillet. It's a skillet packed with hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, onions, tomatoes, cheese and eggs. I really liked everything about it, but wasn't too keen on the sausage (I know that sausage is a hit or miss in diners - definitely a miss for me.) It was definitely a little greasy, but it was still an enjoyable breakfast for something local. Will it be a frequent stop for me? Probably not, but I would go back.. Maybe I'll order an omelette next time. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive despite the fact that she was waiting on several tables at once. She never let my coffee cup go under half of a cup.. She filled it up several times, which is always nice. A+ for her. The owner also thanked us for coming. read more

Niles Grill & Diner - Skillet - Diners Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Me and my wife lived in Niles and use to frequent this location as a young couple 28yrs ago (but it was IHOP then). It was our breakfast spot. Today we were in Niles and looking for a spot to eat and saw Niles grill and diner. The structure on the outside has not changed so we decided to give it a try and a little flashback for us also. The food and service was great. It looked like it maybe family owned. It felt really homey inside. I had the steak skillet and my wife had French toast and corned beef hash. The portions were generous and the food tasted fantastic. Will definetely stop by again even though it's further from home. read more

The service was excellent. The portions and price point are spot on. We will definitely be back!

Great as always. Staff are all wearing masks and they practice limited capacity and social distancing. They even have masks for sale at the register. Excellent read more

Low prices but food quality not great. The bacon tasted like it was grilled with fish, real disgusting. Pancake batter was clearly out of a box. On the plus side, quite authentic - place has a feel of Americana and the staff was super nice. Sunday morning breakfast filled with local retirees and they were all welcomed by name by the staff. Friendly service and left a great tip. read more

Had a group of 10 called in at 12:45 to confirm they can seat us arrived at 1:03 and then the server told us it would take 20 minutes to seat us which was fine then after waiting they decided we can't be served because the close at 2pm which is fine if they hadn't lead us on for an hour do not recommend coming here with a large party it seems like a nice place for parties of 2-4 with a lot of time to kill read more

Great burger stop by and try it for sure. Old school diner that has lots of flavor and good people working.

Nice simple good food. What more does one need . Good veggie omelets . Great coffee . Nice breakfast place

I've been here twice now for breakfast and I'm very happy with this place. Now this place would be considered a "dive". You will not go here for the atmosphere. I had an omelet and ham off the bone and eggs. Both were very good. The portions were big enough and the prices are very reasonable. I liked the potatoes with the crispy edges. Years ago I went to their old place further South on Milwaukee ave., and I'm pleased to say their breakfast is still very good. Can't comment on their lunch, never had it. This place has good parking since they have their own lot. read more

Family owned with fresh food. Well made burger. Nice bun and hand-cut fries. Everyone in the place was friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Tasty and HOT food, excellent service, fun retro decor and lotsa parking. A gem!

Ordered the skirt steak skillet. Barely any meat and even less veggies or cheese. Awful meal, but I finished as I was ravenous doing a 13 hr shift at the hospital. Def wont be coming back read more

I've passed here dozens of time and never bothered to stop until today. I can't say I'm a big fan. This is one of those places you walk in and you simply sit yourself. The service itself was decent but I thought the place was a bit on the dirty side (and in definite need of a diner makeover). There was absolutely nothing special about my bacon and cheese omelette or the bagel we ordered. We personally thought the coffee was rather bland too. In fact, we had to stop at a local coffee shop afterwards to get some real coffee. This is probably the first and last time I'll visit this establishment. So in a nutshell, this place is nothing special and the food is so-so. You could do much better if you drive another couple of minutes further. read more

We go on Sunday mornings - friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices, and jukebox!

Moved up the street to 9206 Milwaukee Ave. This place belongs in a 1950's movie. Breakfast menu has regular fare with good portions. EXCEPT the huge, handmade chopped steak and Giant pork chop. No crap this suckers 2" thick and both come grilled or cooked over the coals!! The ham is cut off the bone and you will not find any "Turkey, chicken" crap sausage here! Lunch has small selection regular sandwiches.. and a few specials each day. I had the grilled ham and cheese which had hand cut Ham off the bone. You have to look at the "Burger Section". They are hand made beauties. Bunch of different taste combos as well as good old standard Cheeseburgers. The monster burger is a HUGE two patty, mess of a sandwich. Its all worth the heart attack!! Service is friendly and sometimes slow, but the coffee stays full. read more

I have driven by this little gem hundreds of times and finally stopped in this morning. It's not fancy, it's a diner. The food was outstanding! My son is very picky and usually orders pancakes, but never "loves them". I was floored when he raved about the pancakes and almost finished all 3! I had a really good egg white omelet, bacon was cocked perfectly and NOT greasy and I thought the prices are reasonable. Seriously wondering how I skipped this for so long. I will be back! read more
