A Neighborhood Tradition Since 2013

What began as a small neighborhood spot on Elston Avenue quickly grew into a favorite gathering place for the community. At Northside Grill, we’ve kept our focus steady: made-to-order dishes and a team that learns your name, and your ‘usual.

Welcome to Northside Grill

Where Irving Park Meets for Breakfast

Conveniently located in the heart of Irving Park (60641), we are the go-to gathering place for the community and commuters alike. Whether you’re heading in from Albany Park or just passing through on the Kennedy, our doors are open daily to provide a warm, local atmosphere and the best breakfast in the neighborhood.

Comfort, Consistency, and Choice

The Best Brunch Spot on the North Side of Chicago

For over a decade, our menu has stayed true to the classics. From fluffy pancakes and crispy hash browns to skillets loaded with flavor, if it’s on your plate, it was cooked with care. We serve Chicago with friendly smiles and generous portions in a warm atmosphere where conversations (and coffee) linger.

Your Daily Rhythm, Your Way

Today, we are still guided by our day-one promise: keep it fresh, keep it friendly, and make it easy to enjoy great food. Whether you’re here for a quiet weekday breakfast, a lively weekend brunch, or a quick lunch between errands, whatever fits your day, we’re ready. Dine in, carry out, or order to-go. We’ll have a seat saved and the coffee brewing.
