The first Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts still exudes the funky, devil-may-care lifestyle of the 70s in its style, décor, music, and menu. Happily for all of us, the best eating of that day continues to be some of the best today. While there's a huge menu that's as much fun to eat your way through as it is to read, many of Grunts' old favorites spark return visits. The burgers are arguably the best in town. The new 'digital' salad bar boasts many of your favorite fresh ingredients daily. Giant malts and milkshakes are hand scooped and come in a rainbow of favors. Oh! Don't forget the barbecued baby back ribs, and sandwich specials.

    Being a first timer there I had no expectations, I was completely blown away by the amazing flavor of my burger and the fries were very flavorful as well. The entire restaurant was pristine. The waitstaff were super friendly. I would recommend anyone to this restaurant!

    One of the very best restaurants I have been to in forty years of living in Chicago, excellent in every regard that counts: quality of service, quality of food, ambience, comfort, location, value, noise level. We've gone regularly since it opened in 2023 and loved it every time. The menu is not long, but the variety covers a lot of ground for every taste and the quality is very high.

    It’s a an annual tradition to visit RJ Grunts for the holidays for my family. We had a great time as always. Love the service, vibe, and food. Next year I won’t go on Christmas Eve as Lincoln Park Zoo is closed so no zoo lights :( Instead, we enjoyed a nice walkaround the neighborhood after eating. I will say the bartender must’ve punched out for Christmas early (who can blame them) because the cocktails were average at best. We will be back next year!
