My wife grew up going to Hackneys. We were meeting a college friend of mine, who is also from the area. So I was the only newbie. Burger was pretty good. Oddly thick cut of tomato, like twice the thickness you normally get on a burger, but that's fine. French fried onion brick was pretty good. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was pretty good.

The onion brick was good and the sandwiches were decent. Service was initially fast. Unfortunately, all the cups and plates were dirty and had crusty food bits on them. Even the glasses were cloudy and smudged. There was a hair in our fries. Had to wait a long time for the check.

Hackney's on Lake is one of our favorite restaurants. Great hamburgers, onion rings the best! Fish and chips are wonderful. Waite staff very attentive. Drinks generous. Don't miss their Desserts! Every one a winner!

We had seen this restaurant on diners drive ins and dives and my fiancé mentioned going to the lake Zurich location often as a kid. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but we had family in town and decided it might be nice to check it out after talking about it for some time. I will say we went towards the end of the night and so maybe the staff was tired and just ready to go home, but our waitress seemed sort of annoyed with us from the moment we sat down. The server who brought out our food REALLY hates her job, as she called out each order she was clearly annoyed. Most of the table ordered burgers as that’s what hackneys is famous for, so she would say “this one has some kind of cheese on it” when we asked was it Swiss, she goes “I don’t know! Some sort of white cheese” umm…okay, thank you. Idk. I’m glad we went for the sentimental value this place belt for my father in law mostly, but personally I don’t believe we will be back. The onion basket appetizer was very bland and should’ve been served with some sort of sauce, the coleslaw was also very bland, needed some carrots, some seasoning, something. My drink was pretty good, and I had the special teriyaki salmon wrap, it was okay, but they probably should just stick to burgers. The rye bread most of the burgers we ordered came on wasn’t toasted enough or at all so it was falling apart as they ate it. The sweet potato fries were the best thing I tried. There were screaming kids running around, kicking and fighting each other the whole time we were there, that was a little annoying…our waitress did try and ask them to stop, but to no avail. I say if this place is special to you, and you’ve been going for years, I understand…but as a person who likes to try new places, or is looking to add a new favorite restaurant to their list, skip hackneys 🤷🏼♀️
Have loved Hackneys since I was a child! Lots of memories in that place that keeps me coming back!

I am a 3rd generation hackneys visitor. A lot of things change over the years but the hackney burger and fried onions have remained a north shore staple. Came early but table was already situated. Drinks were good, appetizers came out rapid fast and the French fries were perfect. My burger could have been a little better, but other people’s food in my party was made well prepared and tasty. The hot fudge sundae dessert as well as the chocolate mousse cake were delicious. Overall our experience this evening was positive and we look forward to returning again soon.

Hackney's is a long time favorite of the Glenview community for informal dining. We enjoyed dinner with our friends here. Our waitress was friendly and the food was nicely prepared and tasty.
