"Open 24 hours daily Deciding to hit a diner for late-night means you’re the perfect kind of drunk—drunk enough to eat greasy goodness, but not too drunk that you can’t sit at a table and support your own head. Speaking of, did you know the human head weighs eight pounds? And do you know what the hell happened to that kid from Jerry Maguire? Those are the kind of intoxicated conversations best saved for White Palace Grill, a classic Chicago diner in the South Loop open 24 hours a day." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Whether it’s 3 p.m. or 3 a.m., there’s always an eclectic mix of students, workers, and bar hoppers at this iconic greasy spoon. It’s comfort food at its best, which means a varied selection that includes Tex-Mex dishes, pastas, burgers, chicken & waffles, meatloaf and beef sandwiches. Fast, filling, and cheap, White Palace Grill is everything a diner strives to be." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"Chicagoans from all walks of life have been gathering at this South Loop diner since 1939. What do they all have in common? A shared love of reliable omelets, skillets, pancakes, waffles, French toasts, and more at all hours." - Jeffy Mai, Eater Staff
"White Palace Grill is an iconic 24-hour diner in the South Loop that's been open since 1939. This spot has all the breakfast classics you'd expect, along with things like country-fried steak, cream pies, and ribs. The food is fine, but White Palace is best after a night of drinking when nothing sounds better than a plate of pancakes, hashbrowns, and a server who calls you "hun." - Adrian Kane
