Sam's Grill

I have been here twice.  The owners seem nice enough but the food is kind of bad.  I had a hot dog and the hot dog was not very flavorful.  The bread tasted stale and totally bland.  They just seemed like they were the cheapest of the cheap.  Prices are so-so, but not worth the food.  There are so many hot dog places around here that I would not come here again.

I eat here 1-2 times a week for lunch since it is right across the street from my workplace (Mesirow Building). They have a $6 lunch special everyday and their chicken tenders and chicken pesto sandwich are very good. I don't eat many salads but co-workers of mine seem to really like their salads a lot. The staff is super friendly and know I LOVE the chicken pesto sandwich that is only served on certain days and let me order it any time which I LOVE. Thanks guys!

They also have breakfast and I am told it is very tasty.

Cheap, Good food, Friendly staff, Great lunch spot in river north. True HOLE IN THE WALL.

3 words to describe this place:  Inexpensive, Good and Dive.

This place is a greasy spoon/diner that is run by a very nice couple.  The food is no frills but very good.  They have a daily special that runs under $6 and includes fries and pop.  

The menu is basic, several breakfast items and some basic sandwiches.  Their daily specials are good and they make great soup.  

Good place to run into if you are pressed for time and/or money but want a decent meal.
