The specialty is the “slinger ,” a plate piled with two burger patties, hash browns , two eggs , and chili , but you can also get a simpler meal of buttered toast and eggs any way. Read more

Was one kick-ass nice chef all around: Order to order and he's got it! If you want to sleep in your fries ( like a guy was....ahem) he' ll look out for you! Good value great staff !

This tiny 24-hour greasy spoon in a converted train car is best visited after a night of boozing. Its signature dish is The Slinger , a chili-covered heap of hamburger patties, hash browns and eggs . Read more

Chicago Tribune

The Slinger is a surprising dish, the kind dreamt up when a bored cook riffles through the pantry and throws everything onto a griddle. Think hash browns , hamburger , chili , cheese and egg . Read more

"It's just greasy, good perfection. For a long time I thought it was just good because I was drunk. Nope. Even when I'm cold sober, it's still a damn good burger . Make mine a double."- Kurt Tarpley Read more

A 24-7 neighborhood staple that's been around for ages, The Diner Grill will challenge you to their hearty ‘Slinger ’ breakfast dish that puts any omelet , scramble, or hash to shame.

Tommy Cashman

I've been coming here for years. It's my favorite diner . It's open 24/7. Everything is reasonably priced. And the staff is friendly .

Paul Thenstedt

Ask for the double dick, it is not on the menu . Cheeseburger w easy egg bacon , hash browns . Comes with fries and if u want a side of gravy ...

Daniel Schell

Dinner Grill on one sign; Diner Grill on the other. Either way, a great greasy-spoon breakfast 24 hours a day.

Allan Marshall

Temporarily closed, because of a fire that occurred in the back room around Christmas . Hopefully they do follow through and reopen Spring '17, as I read in 1 article the owner said they wanted 2 do!

Pro tip: order the slinger with corned beef hash instead of chili .

Chad

Best diner in the city . Try the Slinger , Chili-cheese omelette or the Dickburgers (bacon cheeseburgers with hash browns and a fried egg on top).

Freddy Coba

Good food, good portions, good service , good prices. All you can ask for out of a diner .

Slinger is deadly. Go for a dickburger : cheeseburger with a fried egg + hash browns .

William Hasty

Go often once you let it into your system the diner grill is like crack

Think twice about ordering the slinger . Order an omelette instead. Sing 80s songs from the jukebox
