20 of Chicago’s Most Beloved Closed Diners

"Billy’s Grill flew under the radar on the southwest side until closing before the pandemic in 2018. This family-owned diner wasn’t much to look at, but fans loved the burgers and omelets. A beacon for an affordable and delicious meal." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam

Nothing fancy. Just good food. Great omelettes, burgers and lunch specials. Linda and Jim make all feel welcome and are very entertaining.

I will miss this place. I pray, maybe family can keep this diner open. It has been closed for a couple of weeks now, since the owner Jim passed away. My heartfelt prayers & condolences for his family & dear sweet wife, Linda; enjoyed chatting with her while she was serving the customers.

Really good home cooked meals, and very reasonable prices. Going to try their breakfast one of these days, hear they are awesome as well!

This is one of the last places standing where you can get real food made fresh. NOT FROZEN! They're prices are also the most reasonable you will find these days.
