Welcome to Northside Grill.
What began as a small neighborhood spot quickly grew into a favorite gathering place for Irving Park. We kept our focus steady on made-to-order dishes, friendly smiles, and a team that learns your name and your “usual.” Over the years, our menu has stayed true to the classics while embracing the dishes our guests love most: fluffy pancakes and French toast, crispy hash browns, skillets and omelets loaded with flavor, stacked sandwiches, hearty salads and soups, plus fresh juices and desserts for a sweet finish. If it’s on your plate, it was cooked with care.
We’ve been serving Chicago with friendly smiles and generous plates since 2013, in a warm atmosphere where conversations linger. Whether you’re here for a quiet weekday breakfast, a lively weekend brunch with family, or a quick lunch between errands, you’ll find comfort, consistency, and plenty of choice. And if you’re on the move, we’ll pack it up just the way you like it.
Today, Northside Grill is still guided by that first idea from day one: keep it fresh, keep it friendly, and make it easy to enjoy great food, your way. Dine in, carry out, or order to go, whatever fits your day. Stop by and see why our neighbors call us one of Chicago’s favorite spots for breakfast and lunch. We’ll have a seat ready and the coffee brewing.
GOOD Based on 285 reviews Daniel C2025-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greeted Cheerfully. Served speedily and attentively. Appropriately priced in Chicago for the generous serving size. ($22 dollars for chilaquiles with 3 eggs, 4-6oz steak, green sauce, and rice and beans). I left full and happy. Made me wish I was a morning person. Brent BrandonFrancis2025-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great spot! The food was real nice, flavorful, and served fast. Staff was friendly and the vibe was relaxed. Would definitely eat here again next time I’m in Chicago.
