About this business
In 1971, the Lettuce Entertain You empire began at this humble eatery. The menu is bare-bones American fare and the atmosphere is gritty in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. R.J.'s is well known for the huge salad bar, but it sounds more appealing than it typically looks. Instead, stick with a burger, a huge bowl of chili or the barbecue brisket sandwich.

RecommendedWonderful place. I grew up going once a Summer after a great day at the Zoo. It was so nice seeing all the beautiful pictures of the waitresses over the years on the walls.

Great place. Very busy but close to the Lincoln Park Zoo.
Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and great bites are always a hit for me. Def returning soon!
Business response:
Happy to hear that you were a fan, Chevonne! Thanks for checking us out. Can't wait to see you again soon.
Ok. But not worth 15 dollars. The fried chips it came with didn’t care for. Cute place. Kinda small. Didn’t like 20 dollars to park the car either
Business response:
Hey Lori, we are so sorry to hear that you didn't have the best time with us. This is certainly not how we want our guests to feel after visiting. Thank you for providing us with this feedback. We will use your insight on our chips and valet service to continue to grow and improve in the future.
Always a great burger! We had the fried pickles tonight too and they were among the best we have ever had. Worth the wait!
Business response:
Hey Traci, thanks for coming in! What burger did you decide on? Our Fried Pickles are always a great way to start off a Grunt's meal. Hope to see you again soon.
Capped off a great night at Zoo Lights with a Chicago classic restaurant. Love the vibe at Grunts. Always a good time and great eats. Thanks for a good experience! — with Wayne Watrach.
Business response:
Thanks for stopping in after ZooLights, Maggie! We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit. Hope to see you again soon.
Best burger in Chicago, hands down. Fun atmosphere and great 70s music.
Wasn’t worth the prices!!! Food was average and the chips were just terrible!
Business response:
Hey Christa, We are so sorry to hear about your recent experience. This is certainly not how we want our guests to feel after visiting.

As always, I licked the plate. Never a disappointment. Yes, it gets crowded.... BECAUSE IT'S THAT GOOD. I aim for off-hours, and have never had a problem being immediately seatd and served. It's been the same experince for 40 years......terrific.
Business response:
Don't fix what isn't broke! Glad to hear that we have been able to give you the same great experience over the years. If you ever need help with a reservation in the future, please send us a private message. We would love to set you up with a table. Looking forward to your next visit.
