Cal-Harbor Restaurant & Lounge Inc

As a dive diner, it rates 5 stars.  Clean,  old, nostalgic, friendly, cooked hot and fresh just for you.  Very diverse clientele, and staff.  Near Pullman Village, where I hear the owners live.  May have been the largest serving of gyros I've ever had.

1st visit down to Pullman (Metra Electric to 115th) in years. The landmark of the yellow awnings have blown away for now. Waitress said they'll be back. 115th between Metra station (just west) & the McDonalds (just east). $9 total for coffee, phillie melt plate w/fries, soup. Good diner food in a funky neighborhood.

Within the category of "dive diner" this place rates the full five stars.

The skillets are my favorite, except maybe for the great friendly staff who always recognize a repeat visitor.  Service is efficient and they seem to never make a mistake.  

You can sit on a rickety barstool and read the paper with your meal, or you can find a booth in the corner.

It's cash-only, but you won't need much.  As another reviewer said, it's in Pullman, on 115th - look for the yellow awning.

Only one more word: Grits.
