24 hour restaurants in the Chicago area

[CMNTMXR57]

So, as the title states, where are their good 24 hour restaurants in the Chicago area? Be it breakfast type places, pizza, general restaurant, etc... I looked at the Denny's and IHop here my me, but they close around midnight or thereabouts.

Reason I ask, is reading an article on Waffle House 24 hour restaurants down south and their "Waffle House Index" as a measure of danger in places like Louisiana with Ida.

So post up 24 hours places.

Huck Finn. They have locations at 66th and Pulaski, Archer and Damen, and 105th and Cicero.

Golden Apple in Lakeview

Huck Finn is pretty decent.

Hollywood Grill on North Ave and Ashland
White Palace on Roosevelt and Canal
Diner grill on Irving like a block west of Ashland
Jim's polishs (Jew town polish) on Roosevelt and Union
Susies on Montrose 1 block west of Elston. Although I heard they went to some special covid hours, not sure if they are still in effect.

Harlo's on North Ave and 25th. Not quite as good as when the owner was running the flat top. But when you're coming out of the city after a night of drinking that place really hits the spot.

are the Omega's still 24hrs?

most white castles are, still, right? lol

The one in Niles is, the rest have "normal" hours, and I think one or two are only breakfast places now.

White Castle, 24/7 FTW, just be patient. Maybe bring a snack to have while waiting in line.

I fucking hate them, but I end up there drunk every now and then......Taco Burrito King in Des Plaines and in Chicago on Harlem.

Shoutout to Heavenly Bodies for serving free burgers, beef sandwiches, fries, pizza, etc. until 4am! (at least they did pre-covid).

I think the Castle is a 3am closer now.

Trying to think the last time I saw an Omega Cafe... 59 in Warrenville maybe??

I've been to the one on Ogden in Downers a lot. That's ones that used to be 24/7 and is now shortened hours (7a-9p)

That was the other location I was trying to think of...

Agreed and forgot about this place

Havent been there in 15 years or so, cant believe they are still giving away the free food. When I was frequenting HB, it was $15 or $20 to get it and it was all the beer (domestic bottled beer) and food for free. If you wanted a Corona or Heineken it was like $1. We would get hammered AF in there with free beer.

Been there a bunch of times, my guy Mike owns a few houses on 33rd and 34th and Halsted.
Plenty of late drunken nights in that neighborhood at his house or Mitchell's bar. I'm fan of their steak nachos.

I remember the good old days there 15 years ago. I was a college kid, and would show up with $20 in my pocket. Drink 12 beers, eat 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and a few pieces of pizza.....all for $20. Dancers would get pissed we wouldn't get dances, which I would have....just didn't have any money back then.

Its still $10 cover, and beers are now $1.50. Food is still free.

Yup, those were indeed the days lol. I bet we have crossed paths in there. That was our winter hangout, my Wife would drop us off. Could never convince her to come in though lol.

When I was in bands (bass player) I'd hit up some of the places mentioned here at 2, 3, 4AM.

Why are you eating in the city that late CMNT lol.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

It doesn't have to be in the city. I wanted more out this way. Problem is, I think that is where you're going to get the bulk of these types of places... In the city or along the directly ringing near burbs.

 

[Pro Stock John]

There is a 24 hour White Castle by me, oooh that sounds pretty tempting.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I was craving waffles after reading about waffle house...

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Other than some McDonalds, and pretty much all of the Castles, there aren't many 24 hour places anymore.

CMNTMXR57 until you mentioned that Denny's and IHOP weren't 24/7 I didn't realize that. Last time I went to one was about 4am (Denny's in Carol Stream) and it was open. So wondering if the lockdown crap changed their hours?

And now you have me wanting a French Slam.





Dick ???

 

[CMNTMXR57]

At least the I-Hop and Denny's along Randall here in Elgin aren't. Others may be.

White Palace, Shawn mentioned it already

 

[LikeABauce302]

Both White Castles near me, Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park, are open 24 hours.

The EP police are always close by. They keep a watch on white castle around 2am when the bars empty out.

 

[GLADIATOR]

I know they aren’t anymore but El Farol in Summit was our go to place after clubbin all night or after partying all night. Slam a burrito and get in a fight or two.
