The restaurant business is notoriously difficult, and those that are around for decades stay around for good reason. Chicago's White Palace Grill opened its doors in 1939, and for some context, that's the same time that Europe was gearing up for World War II, Marvel Comics was founded, and Superman made his comic strip debut. The White Palace Grill built a customer base on serving hearty, filling, and familiar dishes all hours of the day, and it's a mission statement it still stands by.
While it might still be an oasis for travelers, locals say that this is the kind of place that's a home away from home while serving up some amazing comfort food. Bacon always tastes better at a diner than it does at home, and this place is no exception. The burgers get a lot of mentions in reviews, waffles are always on special, and speaking of old-school classics, liver and onions are still on the menu, too. Customers say you should definitely get the soup of the day, and anything with gravy will not disappoint.
