“Highland Park's BACKYARD GRILL is a delicious counter order eatery. The servings are large and the quantity is deliciously excellent.

The cashier knows the menu and is familiar with the Ingredients. The short order, visible kitchen creates the meal quickly. Both vegan and conventional entrees are offered. Beef, chicken, and vegan options are available. The three in our party ordered gyros with pita, roasted chicken, and homus platter. They were delicious.

“A slice of old school drive/in diners. Good Food, Good Value stuck in a bit of a time capsule. Honestly love it for the old school independent nostalgia compared to the fast food chains that are everywhere. I support local and enjoy going here with my family. One of my son's who worked at Portillo's says their burgers are better than theirs.“

“Best Greek food in Chicagoland!“
