I see that most reviews are quite poor but I actually had a great experience. The bartender was an absolute delight and the drink I ordered, which was some sort of specialty Bloody Mary with a high life to accompany it, was exactly what I needed! Personally, I'm going back the next time I'm at MDW! read more

Terrible experience and very rude worker at the airport location! When I received my to-go box of fries in an open box, I asked the worker if the box closed to keep the fries hot. She said yes and just stared at me. I had my hands full with luggage and was trying to close the box and finally asked if she could help me. She proceeded to take the box and say in a very demeaning voice, "if it doesn't close this way, it probably closes this way." I said you should really close the boxes to help keep people's food hot to which she responded, "We don't have to!" The service was crappy, and the fries were mediocre. Of course she also wanted a tip. read more

Horrible customer service! There were two employees working on Sunday 8/3/26. It was approximately 7:40 pm. We went up to counter where one female employee was talking and laughing with the male employee who was cooking. We were not greeted by either employee. They let us just stand there while they continued to talk amongst themselves. We finally haf to adk if we could order. My husband ordered a burger and a dog and said no tomatoes. When the male was putting the Chicago do too, he started putting tomatoes on, my husband said I tp him, no tomatoes, amd the employee says, you should have said something. My husband and I boyh stepped up and said, we did adk fot mo tomorrow. They were both so rude!!! read more

Saltiest burger ever. Not good. Also it took forever to be made. The chips are pretty good. It was in an airport so I wasn't expecting greatness but I was disappointed. read more

Ordered using QR code I spotted at the line entrance and saved $4. Quickly made order and fries were freshly made. The ladies working there were nice. I mean, it is airport food, but I had a quite decent hamburger for my needs and loved the fries. I found the area to be freshly cleaned and relatively peaceful and quiet the day after Memorial Day. read more

3.5 One of the airport choices at Food Hub 51 which was near our departure gate. Can order on the app but pick-up time was too long. Went to the counter instead and was faster. There is seating in that area but brought the food on the plane. Better Bacon cheddar burger with veggie toppings and fries were ok. I saw the patty cooking on the grill for a while so I thought would be dry but it wasn't. read more

Why does this have such low ratings?? It's in an airport! What are you expecting? I for sure was not expecting the food to be so delicious. It's in an airport. It has no business being as tasty as it is. I got a breakfast sandwich and it came with tater tots. I hate having greasy, heavy food before a flight and was telling my husband this. But there we were. That first bite took me way off guard. The bacon was thick, with a lovely smoked flavor without any of the grease! The egg was a fluffy pillow of a bite! The bread! Oh. My. Gosh! The bread was so good. Like...are they baking it themselves? They can't be...can they? It's got great chew. The tots! A light crispy outside and the flakiest, hashiest potato pieces inside. Yes, you can get McDonald's, but this! This was beyond my expectations, which might be why I thought it was so good. There's plenty of seating for folks waiting for flights. I noticed some tables even had outlets for charging your electronics. Bathrooms are right there with a water bottle filling station too. So it makes for a very easy place to stop and gather your bearings before heading to your gate. It's clean and nicely lit, and pretty quiet. 10/10 would get again. read more

Got the job done! While waiting at my terminal for my flight home, I remembered that I didn't get to try a Chicago style hot dog while I was here on my short "long weekend" trip. Chicago dogs are my sister's favorite type of hotdog, so I wanted to make sure I had one for her while I was here. Searching for food at my terminal, I was a little panicked, wondering if I'd find a place that offered it for my lunch. A couple different workers I passed by suggested that RJ Grunts may have them, so off I went to check out their menu. Sure enough, it was my chance! The ambiance, of course, is very casual. It's a fast food restaurant in an airport--what do you expect? The line was short and while service was not the most smiley or friendly, they were polite enough and were pretty fast on getting orders cranked out. I ordered my Chicago hot dog, which came with fries. Prices are high, in my opinion. I paid a total of $18.79 (which included my tip. The side of fries looked equivalent to a small and the hot dog is standard size. Regardless, everything was tasty. The fries were hot and fresh. The hotdog was piled with the classic toppings. The relish was an interesting color, but perhaps (hopefully) that's normal?? I'm not sure why the reviews are so low, but I enjoyed everything. Thanks for completing my trip to Chicago! read more

Horrible service, stale food, high prices. Everything you want to avoid in an airport restaurant.

It's pretty simple with really high prices. Everything is made fresh to order but my fries were not fresh--they were lukewarm. I liked the burger. It was cooked perfectly. The hotdog was good too but I preferred hot, crisp fries and lower prices. Their prices are ridiculously high, read more

RJ Grunts is well known for its burger and fries. I was at O'Hare in the international terminal and hungry so I stopped by. I decided to try their crispy chicken sandwich and I was not disappointed! Their bun was on the thinner side and very tasty, I would call it a premium bun--like Hawaiian sweet bread, but not as sweet--delicious! Pickles were fresh and of the dill variety, nice and tart, just the way I like 'em! Now to the crispy chicken--it was, in fact, crispy, with a light but delicious breading. The chicken filled out my bun nicely. It was thicker than your standard fast food chicken sandwich, but not too big. All-in-all, this was a surprisingly pleasant food stop at the international airport, definitely worth a try! read more

They were a kind staff. they are sigma. they come fast to your door. They have great food.

It's airport food. You're going to spend a lot for mediocre food. It's fried food - it's edible but it's nothing to write home about. read more

I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich - it came with a side of tater tots. It was so freaking delicious I forgot to take a photo of it for this review. Anucha T, the server and cook, was a PROFESSIONAL, managing a lot of tickets with a calm and polite demeanor. The service was smooth, and the food they made was amazing. Whatever you're paying this person, make it double. The ambiance of the place was nice and spacious, perfect after going through security and if you have some time to spend before heading to your gate. read more

Horrible. There was tons of mold on the bun they served for the Chicago dog. My partner's bun was burnt to all hell. The only flavor you could taste was the tar of a hockey puck. This place is repugnant and vile and charging exorbitant fees to poison you. Don't come here. Save yourself. read more

RJ Grunts - Literally mold on the bun they served. Reprehensible and vile they would serve this. Only come here if you want food poisoning. - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Original LEY Spot- so it's historically significant in the food world, and the place is regularly jammed full of people. Tables are small in consideration of the large portions (both a gripe and a compliment, I suppose). On that note, food was great- better than I had expected to be honest. Their new custom salad menu is pretty awesome as well. I think the majority of visitors will be pleased with the experience. Don't go too hard on appetizers. All portions are pretty generous. read more

Stopped to grab a bite in the airport because I could see them grilling the burgers and figured it's worth a shot. I was right!!! The burger was great. Not to big but enough to fill this hungry travels Nelly without making overly full. If you travel you get it. Will definitely eat here again and would look for it in the city if I got a chance to visit the Windy City. Staff was a bit gruff. Not off putting just no fuss. Still enjoyed it a lot. read more

Amazing salads!! Delicious burgers!! Milkshakes out of this world. This is a must when you are in Chicago!! Loved the service, beautiful young people, full of energy and with a known knowledge of the food!! Well done!!! read more

Horrible experience, waited 30 minutes for 3 paid food burgers and paid $68 dollars for it!

(This rating is only because my wife loved her burger.) Long lines, slow service, lots of standing around for staff and small portions for $15. But, after waiting forever...she ate and loved her burger. So, if you want a really good tasting, but slightly overpriced burger meal, give it a go. read more

Just don't. I've never seen workers who care less about their job or a business's customers. Will stand right in front of you doing nothing for up to 10 minutes without the slightest acknowledgment of your presence while the line grows from 0 to over 20. Not sure what the issue is but they made it VERY clear they were not happy being there. Save yourself from the negativity and go to Wao Bao next door or Tortas Frontera around the corner for not only better service but higher quality food. Or try one of the Farmer's Fridge vending machines for a quick healthy option. Safe travels. read more

I just had perhaps the worst chicken sandwich ever at RJ Grunts near Gate 16 at Midway Airport. Advertised as roast chicken with cheese and peppers, it was a soggy mess. The already shredded chicken was lifted from a pot dripping with some fluid. The peppers also were completely soggy and unappetizing. And I could hardly find any evidence of cheese. Certainly could not taste it. It tasted like boiled chicken, had little taste and was served on the soggiest roll ever. It was advertised as "French bread " but was just a soft, soggy roll. Since my wife and I intended to share it, I asked if they could cut it in half. The counter person at first resisted my request but then asked the sandwich maker if he could cut the sandwich in half. He appeared to agree, but when I got back to my gate to eat it, it was not cut in half. So I tried to cut it with a plastic knife but by this time the rapper was so soggy, it broke open. I went back to the counter for another wrapper and more napkins. When I said to the counter person "I thought you were going to cut it in half". She responded " I guess he forgot". Based on both the quality of the food and the less than fully helpful service, I would never eat there again. I have never before to my knowledge left an online food review anywhere. This waste of about $19 for a horrible sandwich and experience prompted me to write this up. read more

Rating: 5.7/10 The Good: The food was served very fast The Bad: Food was very mediocre Overall, I'm not disappointed with my choice to eat at RJ Grunts. Despite huge (15+) crowds, it took 5 minutes for me to get to the front of the line, two minutes to order & pay for my food, and 30 seconds to receive my food. Given that it's airlines food, you can't really ask for more. Pricing was kinda fine, probably on the lower end for airports but definitely expensive compared to a normal burger place. The eating area was very clean & had outlets. Lots of people talking but easy to just zone them out as background noise More specific food review: - Crispy Chicken Sandwich: crispy but I've had better. - Fries were meh af. - Ginger ale fine. - They use paper straws, which has such a different taste to them compared to plastic. -Not a lot of variety; just American staples & soda/beer (no water) read more

Cheeseburger was tasty and freshly made. Fries were very good. Fries were fresh, crispy, and thin (like good McDonald's fries). Topping for burger were all fresh vegetables. Service was efficient. They were as polite as I expected from harried and overworked fast food employees. I had no problems with the service. Do not use online ordering! It doesn't seem to mesh well. They ran out of chicken fingers and they were still available via the online portal. read more

Maybe you all caught them on a bad day! This burger was banging!!!! Real patted out ground beef freshly prepared to order and seasoned very well. I requested for them to burn it (which is never achieved). I added bacon too. So it took maybe 10mins to prepare. When I tell you this burger was 1 of the best burgers I've had in awhile I mean damn I was pissed it was $16 w/fries, bit hell I see why. The burger and bacon were plentiful and definitely worth it for the airport. The fries tho, hot garbage!!!!! The fries omg they were old/stale & definitely dropped more than once. The service was very pleasant so I should've given 4 stars, but I'm in a great mood. BOOM 5 STARS read more

RJ Grunts - This was the BOMB! - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nasty, overpriced. Burgers are dry and have no flavor. Chicken was undercooked. Server was nice. Topping it off with $3.75 small fountain coke, oh and no refills. Stay far far away. read more

Service was rude. Not sure why people decide to work at an airport if you are not going to at least give service without a rude attitude. The area looked clean but we could not sit there because we had a minor. Seating area is considered a bar area. After getting our tasteless cheeseburger and hotdogs that were not made how we ordered them. We ate because we were hungry and thankful for food either way. read more

Best food in the Airport. Burgers are Char Broiled and fresh not frozen!!!! They also have the best music playing.

Ordered using the web form (which was promoted heavily in signage near the restaurant). Was told it would take a half hour for my burger (??). After that time, went to the counter and was told that the online system was down and I needed to get in line for a refund. Got in line, when I got to the front, I was told they just couldn't do anything for me and it was clear they just wanted me to go away. Got no food, filing a credit card dispute to get my money back. Strongly do not recommend. read more

The lady serving was quite rude. I asked for a plain burger, minus all the toppings but a side of Buffalo sauce. She wouldn't put Buffalo sauce on it or give a side of it. She said I had to go back to the back of the line after I got my food and buy the little squirt of Buffalo sauce. What a joke. For a $15 burger with some cold fries, this place is going out of business. Two stars is generous. read more

The food took a very long time to come out, and when it did it was inedible. I was in a group and got a hotdog and cheeseburger. The cheeseburger patty and bun was completely burnt. The hot dog bun was molding. Eating here seems like a good way to get food poisoning on your trip. read more

Super delicious burger, tastes flame grilled. Cheese fries are perfect, no skimping on the cheese here. The guy and girl working today were extremely friendly, the dining area in front in O'Hare gas a lot of seats and nice layout. read more

The people are not very nice, the food is super overpriced and the portions are way too small. Will never go back. They argued in front of customers and the food was handled without care. The lady dug her hands in the trash can and then didn't change her gloves. So gross read more

I felt like my money spent at RJ Grunts in Ohare airport was a total waste. The fries were mediocre at best, but the Chicago style hotdog had literally 0 flavor. With all those ingredients, you'd think it would have at least a little flavor, but nope. Literally none. Their soda machine was also broken and the employees were extremely rude (no matter how kind I was to them) the responses were always rude and crass. I would not recommend. read more

I went there surprised to see that O'Hare even had an R.J Grunts. After ordering the Chicken Tenders with fries awaiting our flight overseas, they came out about 15-20 minutes later. The customer service could have been a lot better since. We were immediately told they didn't have two of the three items we originally wanted (Buffalo chicken sandwich and something else pretty common that anyone should have) so we ended up ordering 4 orders of chicken tenders with fries (three more than my single order) as a result. We were then told that it take about 15 minutes (which because of our flight, we were happy to wait) and when we said that it was okay and still wanted the chicken tenders, they seemed surprised and almost unwilling to complete the order with as many tenders included. It ended up taking only about 10 minutes. The Tenders seemed a bit too tough to bite through and it seemed like the they lacked any taste. It seemed much more like, with bone in wings, you typically expect the fun to come with the flavor sauce or dipped spices. Just imagine ordering bone-in wings with no sauce whatsoever, just with no bones... pretty tasteless. Their fries were around par. There are other places to eat in that Terminal, so if you're looking for tenders.. I hope you're traveling to place that has them as I'd skip this experience altogether. In any event, safe flight! read more

RJ Grunts - CHICKEN FINGERS & fries $12.15 - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service is slow, food is decent and the only place in the international airport that will often be open if you are leaving early. I ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one with bacon and one with ham. The bacon is pre-cooked and the ham is very small end sections of ham that in my opinion is not worth the cost. They are quick to tell you of any menu options that are unavailable and they don't try to compensate or say it with a smile. O'Hare international food section needs a total rehaul including this place. Bring your own food and just order coffee! read more

The rudeness and lack of any courtesy or customer service at this restaurant O'Hare terminal 5 This is unbelievable how rude the female employee was today and I mentioned it to her and another employee said she is ALWAYS RUDE. Well that is not acceptable and when I looked up reviews on this place it's the same female in the pictures from awhile back on a complaint on her lack or professionalism and her rudeness. This to me means as a company, that behavior is an acceptable thing. I'll spend my money elsewhere and encourage others to do as well. read more
