Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Irving Park

I’ve rated many restaurants but never left a review. I began going to RJ Grunts as a child in the late 1970’s with my parents. I took my children there when they were young. They came into town this week for the holiday. One from working in California. The other from college in Florida. They wanted to return to Grunts and walk through the zoo across the street. What’s incredible is after all these years, the food remains as good as I remember, both from when I was a child and when my sons were children. Best burger in the city, great fajitas, fantastic chicken sandwich (done Mr Beef style). Love the milkshakes. The nostalgia is palpable.

It was amazing!!! Will come back. Thank you for the experience

We went for the pop up Santa Baby. It was AMAZING. COOLEST Christmas ambiance ever. I have never seen anything like it. We went with our teens before 8 pm when families are allowed. Although it was a 30 minute uber from where we were staying in downtown Chicago, it was totally worth it. Food was ok. Not amazing but everything else made up for it.

Some dishes were good and some were regular. The burgers were ok, but the pasta was so overcooked that after one minute on the plate it turned into a gluey paste. The drinks were good. Service was nice and they let us eat peacefully. I loved that they did not bring the check while we were still eating, as most restaurants in the US do. I appreciate when they wait till the customer asks for it. I would give it a second chance. Loved the atmosphere

Best Mexican restaurant in Chicago. Excellent margaritas and service.
