My wife and I have been married for 48 years and never had a meal at a vegetarian restaurant. No exaggeration. Until now. Friends have said many flattering things about Chicago Diner so we finally relented and decided to see what vegetarian and vegan fare is all about. Located at 2333 North Milwaukee Avenue, in the Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago Diner has been in business since 1983, satisfying customers with veggie burgers instead of burgers by using seitan, a plant-based meat substitute made from wheat gluten that mimics the flavor and texture of chicken. Open from 11 to 10 Monday through Friday and 10 to 10 on Saturday and Sunday, Chicago Diner offers a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional dining. We started with bowls of spicy vegetable bean chili with cumin, chipotle peppers, quinoa and jalapeno corn fritters and plates of Caesar salad with Romaine lettuce tossed in a house-made vegan Caesar dressing, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, croutons and crispy chicken-style seitan. For a main course, my wife chose country fried steak with battered seitan filet, country gravy, mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. I couldn't resist a Radical Reuben with corned beef-style seitan, onions, peppers, sauerkraut, dairy cheese and 1,000 Island dressing on marbled rye bread. For dessert, we shared portions of chocolate layer cake with cocoa mousse filling and chocolate frosting and a banana split with fresh banana, scoops of vanilla, chocolate and cookie dough ice cream and topped with chocolate ganache, chocolate chips, whipped cream and cherries. Chicago Diner also has a location at 3411 North Halsted Street in the Lakeview neighborhood. Look what we non-vegetarians have been missing all these years.

The Chicago Diner, Logan Square, is a fantastic choice for dinner! I visited with friends last week, and we had an amazing time. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The menu offered a great variety of delicious vegan and vegetarian options. We enjoyed every dish we tried. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience!

The food was very good. We split the Reuben sandwich and had sweet potato fries and it was more than ample. It wasn’t crowded. Very clean and the staff was very friendly. Food was prompt. They tell you at the door that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. That was fine with us, but may not be with others. We give more than 20% these days anyway. Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. You can add more to the 20% tip, but not decrease it.

Really disappointed by the service of this location. My boyfriend and I came to Chicago to celebrate my birthday weekend. Because of our dietary restrictions (plant based), late night eateries are hard to find. We were excited to see The Chicago Diner was open late. We left our baseball game early and took a $30 Uber to get to The Chicago Diner before it closed and arrived at 9:20pm. The hostess refused to serve us saying “it’s the managers policy”. We explained that we Ubered to the restaurant and got there as soon as we could and asked if they would make an exception to serve us and she refused. The hostess had zero empathy and really does not care about customer service. There is no notice on the website or anywhere telling customers that they refuse to serve customers 40 minutes before closing. So thanks for wasting our time and $50 worth of Uber fees to and from the restaurant! We will never try this restaurant again.

This place does not deserve being visited. I’ve eaten in veggie restaurants all over the world: Far East Asia, India, Europe, Us etc… therefore I’m speaking out of experience. They are completely careless n service and in the preparation of the food. The fries were reheated and floppy, even the terrible Mac Donald’s does a far better job. And what I ordered were the hand cut fries, so something that ought to be specially … crispy, inviting, fresh made! While they had Clearly been fries hours in advance. As for the rest it simply tastes like an indistinguishable mud. Service by young waiters clearly non professional. While the price was of course very “professional”. You do not believe me? Go and take your chance! But what I’d suggest you for that price point is to seek for better options. Chicago has many!

This place just isn’t for me. First, it has very strong, off-putting odor. Hard to get passed that. I am not a vegetarian, but had no qualms trying something. My food had the same smell as did my husband’s, who had ordered something completely different. Will not return- not for me. 🤷🏼♀️. I gave it a 2 star rating because the staff were all very nice.

We had the Cajun burger and the Cuban sandwich. The portions were very big and filling. The Cajun burger was great except for the pepper that was used which made it extremely spicy. I liked the sauce that came with it. The Cuban sandwich was good, but nothing special.
A big thumbs up for their social distancing protocols!

I've been a vegetarian all my life and so are my kids. We always find the most delicious food when we come here. Many people think that vegetarians mean eating just a salad...not true at all. I think even meat eaters will find delicious food here too!

Tons of unique vegetarian options, like meatloaf and pierogi quesadillas. I've enjoyed the cuban sandwich, the radical reuben, the spicy crispy chicken, and the buddha's karma burger. Seasoned waffle fries are nice. Recommend.

My boyfriend and I loved this spot. I am vegan so this hit the spot for both of us. He raved about the burger, and he even ordered their Cubano sandwich for later! Their waffle fries with vegan mayo were great. Big thumbs up from us!

If your looking for some good vegan take out this is a good stop. They are currently not seating inside but the take out or delivery options are there. The food options and soup were really good and it's a place we will return to also

Every trip to Chicago includes a stop here for me. Amazing vegan food. Funky and fun decor and down to earth staff. Even if you aren’t plant based, this place is a hit. Get a shake!
