    My food falling through the bottom of the container.

    I placed an online order for pickup on my way to work. Pickup was quick and easy, but when I got to work the food started falling out of the container into the bag. The food had been placed in the bag too hot and stacked on top of another container, which caused the containers to fuse together and pull apart when I lifted it. I called the restaurant to report the issue and was told I would need to bring the food back to receive a credit. I explained that I was already at work until 2 PM and even offered to send a photo, but that wasn't accepted. Being asked to come back later in St. Patrick's Day traffic just wasn't reasonable. I've been coming to White Palace Grill for over 13 years while working in the medical district, so this was disappointing. I hope management reviews their packaging and how situations like this are handled, because the customer service used to be much better.

    We just ordered simple breakfast meal after a night of drinking, it was very busy and not a whole lot of room in the restaurant. Lots of to go orders being prepared! the staff was very friendly! They took good care of us we never had to ask for anything!

    So yummy!

    I always wanted to come but never had time. Food was decent for diner food but the staff was just so incredibly sweet, helpful and generous with service and portions that I greatly enjoyed it!

    White Palace Grill is a true Chicago staple -- and if you know, you know. Open 24/7, it's one of those iconic spots that's seen the city at every hour. I've been here many times, but this was my first visit at a "reasonable" hour -- and wow, what a different vibe (in a good way)! We came with a party of nine, including family visiting from Mississippi, and they were all impressed. The food did not disappoint! I had the burger -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Also tried the liver and onions -- absolutely amazing. Comfort food done right.Now let me give a special shoutout to our server, Patrick -- double amazing. Honestly, a great server can make or break your dining experience, and Patrick made ours. He was friendly, patient with our big group, and gave spot-on recommendations. He didn't just sell us on the popular dishes; he gave honest opinions that helped us order what we'd truly enjoy. And let me tell you -- it worked. His personality and attention made the food taste even better. That kind of energy is priceless.Our whole family left full, happy, and talking about the experience. From the classic diner feel to the warm service and satisfying plates, White Palace Grill remains one of my go-to favorites in Chicago. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is one of those places that never lets you down. Go hungry, and if you're lucky -- ask for Patrick!

    Went there for dinner around 5 pm as it was just at the bus stop we dropped and were too tired to walk elsewhere so we dicided to give it a try . This place definitely doesn't hesitate wheen it comes to size burger in my opinion was quite big but if you like bacon you got some for your money they do put A LOT of bacon in your burger which compared to the cheese ratio was a bit disproportionned . Our waitress was really nice maybe a bit rushy for us to take our orders before we could even check on the menu but very good service otherwise. Also glad to mention that once we chose the place we discovered it been featured on DDD the TV show with Guy Fiery back in 2008 . Surely a good place that I recommand while in Chicago and it's open 24/7 and serves breakfast 24/7 so little bonus points right there ;)

    Kathy K.

    We've been meaning to try out this Chicago staple for awhile and we're so happy we did! Love the classic diner ambiance, service was super friendly and attentive, and the food was comforting and a great serving size for the price. We got: - onion rings: very good with ranch - biscuits and gravy with sausage: not the best we've ever had, but a big portion - fried catfish: tons of sides and the catfish was cooked well with a good breading - chocolate chip pancakes: the highlight of the meal, definitely get these!! Super fluffy and big We would definitely come back!

    Every place has a 24x7 place but this restaurant is the place to be especially in the city late at night. I had to get the 2x2x2x2x meal. The food was great and exactly what I needed and on time. I would say if you need something late night don't forget to stop by for a meal.

    Perfect 24/7 joint. Went at like 4am on Christmas Eve after my friend's night shift and it was exactly what I needed it to be at that hour (a lil melancholy, and as some would say, a liminal space). Extensive menu, featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, rightfully. Solid breakfast hash

    The country fried steak was so yummy. They have a really good gravy. Eggs and hash browns were pretty typical for diner food, nothing special. Decent coffee too! Service was quick and our server was kind.

    Good BLT
    Jay Ef Jai ..

    So I came here after a night of drinking and got the BLT, cornbeef hash, side of sausage links and hash browns. Nothing special about the hash browns or the sausage links. Both are straight from the grocery store. Charged a quarter because it was carry out. Are you kidding me??? Cornbeef and the BLT was good. Service was ok. Being 24 hours is a huge plus. The place is a staple of Canal Street.

    All American diner with a retro vibe. The walls are painted with pieces of Chicago history which is really fun. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the Ruben deluxe which comes with soup and fries. The Ruben is delicious, I am not huge fan of rye bread and this was very good, not overpowering. Shopping is close by. You can park in the garage and get your ticket validated at one of the stores up to 90 minutes of free parking. Great spot!

    Diner ambiance and great diner food. Service was good. Soup and salad are the best! This is also a DDD spot.

    Greasey greasy bread

    Rueben: ordered sauce and kraut on side and requested anything they could wrap to help from getting soggy on way home. I think i recieved the complete opposite on purpose... Noi dressing at all, less than a tablespoon of kraut put in a huge empty to go container. Fries piled on cheese of sandwich do all stuck and soggy. Bread seemed to be sitting in 1/4 ibch of oil. Nasty gross nasty. I have owned in the S Loop gor 24 years. 1st and LAST time i will order from the White Palace.

    Biscuits and Gravy ...I added Tabasco

My experience went exactly like this. Imagine going to a movie, one of the better movies you've ever seen. You paid a premium to see this film ahead of time. 30 min in they begin to fast forward, skip scenes, turn the lights on and begin clean up. What I mean is on my engagement night, after a long long day I took my foodie wife to be out for a $300 "experience" which is really just sitting in front of the dessert station next to the expo area. So the food was ok- for all the knowledge ZERO cuts of quality meat. A little goat on a stick and a little tuna poke- the rest veggies which whatever is fine I'm just saying. I spent another $75 on drinks. OpenTable allowed me to book this at 1030pm the restaurant closes at 11pm I was upset and management would not come over and say hi or comp a drink. What restaurant would you be able to call and book a 6 course dinner experience 30min before close? Because it's an app you can hide behind the fact I should be looking at when you close to not book it? Managers profited $300 off me can't comp a drink on our engagement? I had a lovely time, the food wasn't bad, some interesting, service was ok, chefs stoners waiting to get off work. I get it. It's probably worth it but do not hit the last time or they act like you are keeping them late- which we did. I'd never book an experience 30min before close if I put it together. A cheap way for an app and restaurant to squeeze hard earned money out of peoples pockets is what I saw. Cheers

Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed.

While I wasn't a big fan of the taste of my drink and dessert, my friend enjoyed both of theirs. Rather, the service was excellent and the views were amazing. My friend ordered The Rocher for dessert, which includes hazelnut cake, mascarpone chantilly, and smoked maldon salt. I ordered a Baked Alaska, consisting of citrus cake, lemon cream, toasted meringue, and salted white chocolate crunch. We both also ordered cocktails. I cannot recall the name of the drinks. I asked for my drink to be fruity and sweet, but it wasn't enough of either for me. The Baked Alaska was fine but too much of various flavors. I wouldn't fault the restaurant for the drink or dessert taste as I know others really enjoyed theirs. Our server was most attentive and very helpful. We found that making a reservation on Open Table only offered a certain number of time slots, and all of them involved having dinner and not just drinks or a dessert. Reservations can also be made on their website though we chose to speak to the front desk about a reservation. Going up to the bar is first come, first serve though. We ended up making an Open Table reservation and were told it was okay to only order drinks and desserts. Cindy's is named in honor of Marian "Cindy" Pritzker, a beloved Chicago philanthropist. It sits on top of the 13th floor of the hotel under a glass atrium and offers views of Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, and beyond.
