What People Are Saying About R.J. Grunt's

In Short – The original Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, Grunts is also the least manufactured, with a cozy, neighborhood feel, high-backed wooden booths, mellow '70s music and an amiable local crowd. The menu offers reasonably priced burgers, chili and chicken sandwiches, plus thick malts and shakes served with the tin. The extensive, excellent salad bar--Grunts claims to have invented the concept--features two soups, three kinds of greens, a half-dozen fresh fruits, seven dressings and 37 toppings.

best lettuce restaurant

by joemidway

EVERYTIME IVE BEEN TO GRUNTS THEY TREAT ME LIKE A KING. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE FOR LINCOLN PARK AND THE SANDWICHES ARE EXCEPTIONAL. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU NEED OR DONT LIKE, THE SERVERS AND THE MANAGERS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. MY SON WHO WORKS FOR COLDSTONE THINKS GRUNTS SHAKES ARE THE BEST HE'S EVER HAD. IM NOT A BIG FRY GUY AND THEY, THE FRIES, DONT LOOK THAT GOOD... BUT I DONT USUALLY LIKE FRIES ANYWHERE. TRY GRUNTS ON A WEEKNIGHT WHEN THEY ARE CROWDED AND U'LL LOVE IT

  • Pros: burgers and service
  • Cons: not crazy about the salad bar

Only one that deserves a 10!

by hamlin1508

Been coming here since they opened. Never ever had a bad burger. Medium RARE means Medium Rare, cooked properly all times. The French Onion soup is the best. Bring back the crackers and specialty cheese, please.

  • Pros: Great food, staff and price.
  • Cons: No parking.

Don't forget the Sunday brunch--served from 10am to 2pm--packed with steaming home-fried potatoes, an egg white, plain or cheddar topped scramble, mini Belgian waffles, Pecan Praline French Toast and more.

Fun Fact:

Those old-school portraits you see on the walls aren't Hollywood stars, but staff. Each year the restaurant hosts a picture day.
