You can’t go wrong with any of the top quality diner style breakfast options here, but we highly recommend going for one of the Sammies.

Oh, and women and children receive mini boxes of Milk Duds—don’t ask why, just smile and chew."

It’s comfort food at its best, which means a varied selection that includes Tex-Mex dishes, pastas, burgers, fried chicken, meatloaf, beef sandwiches, and everything but the kitchen sink. Fast, filling, and cheap, White Palace Grill is everything a diner strives to be."

"First, the menu stands out compared to most cookie-cutter diners. Second, it's open 24 hours a day. The main menu is pretty uninteresting, but they get the title of "best" thanks to the Southern Chicken Biscuit Platter and the specials menu which consists of eight varieties of chicken and waffles."

"The South Loop has changed a lot since this 24-hour diner opened back in 1939. But the simple menu of eggs, bacon, pancakes and more has not, and we hope it never does. Stop by, sink into a red vinyl booth and get your fix of classic diner fare."
