Came here for dinner. We ordered at the countered and they brought the food at our table. I had the chicago dog and my mom had the packer brat. The chicago dog was full of condiments and it was very good. My order came with fries and i upgraded it to truffle fries. Our order also came with free bottled water. My mom also enjoyed her packer brat

What a great experience! I’ve been three times in the last month since I knew about this place. George provided great customer service, he also gave us a complementary appetizer which was delicious. All the food was amazing. Will definitely come back.

I almost hate to tell you people about this, because it's already too popular, but this is just amazing. Great burgers, brats, gyros for $10-12 WITH fries, and $2 beers! Family owned, the owner still cooks and serves. Just don't go between noon and 1 PM because they are absolutely slammed and parking is tough. But before and after that, totally worth it.

This is my most FAVORITE burger spot in all of San Diego. George, the owner, makes sure everyone is happy and well taken care of. The quality of food served here is top tier. The Chicago dog and tzatziki platter are flavorful and well worth trying. You can even upgrade your fries to truffle fries for ONLY $2

Used to come here religiously in college and found myself missing the food today. Food was always amazing and the staff were always friendly. The space and people made a very homey atmosphere and I always felt welcomed coming here. The burgers are super great! Truly a local gem.

My 1st visit & I'm hooked! I love -- being Greek/Mediterranean we love our Lamb!! However, never have I had a lamb patty Oh Mylanta Georgia (OMG) this iish was deliciously flavorful I still can't believe I ate all but 2 bites ( ) ; clearly my bf ate those 2 bites I wish I got the owners name bcz he sure as heck knows his herbs/spices & stayed TRUE to the Mediterranean flavors of freshly made gyro Bf finished his huge breakfast burger, fries (which were delicious no joke) + my fries & 2 gyro bites I believe it's pretty clear you will NOT be disappointed w/ likely ANY of the menu items @ ChicagoGrill. Everyone wanted to eat here today & ALL left happy & satisfied

From Scottsdale and was craving a burger. WOW, this burger does not disappoint! 1/2 lb of top-notch beef, and well-seasoned fries. You can tell the owner really takes pride in what he serves. It's that rare combo of quality and QUANTITY. I will definitely be back to try the hot dog!
