Diner

The White Palace Grill has been serving regulars for decades, even as its South Loop neighborhood has changed around it. The diner will appear in the final season of The Bear, further cementing its iconic status.

Chicago is an outstanding food city—but you don’t have to eat at Michelin-star restaurants to enjoy the exceptional dining culture. The city’s (and suburbs’) diners are where Chicagoans of all types congregate for some quick, hearty food and hot coffee.
