Magic Grill

great american and mexican food, I love the steak burrioto

Magic Grill is a tiny place less than a block from the Kimball Brown Line stop. Like some fast food places in Albany Park, it boasts a fast food menu consisting of American and Mexican food. A sign outside details the daily specials and the guy who is always there is always friendly and polite even while you stand in line trying to take in their giant menu.

Unlike most fast food spots, when you order a burger there, they'll actually ask you how well you want it cooked and will cook it to specification. The burgers are not the giant flat frozen kind and actually have some texture. Fries are thin cut and not steak fries, so that is a plus. The food is good and cheap and is a fine place to go right after getting off the Kimball El stop.
