The very first Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, R.J. Grunts still exudes the funky lifestyle of the ’70s in its style, décor, music and all-American menu. Happily for all of us, the best eating of that day continues to be some of the best today, with the best burgers in town and giant hand-scooped milkshakes (booze optional). Located in the heart of Lincoln Park, R.J. Grunts continues to be a favorite among families and Chicago natives.
Believe it or not there's 9,986,548,936 possible combinations!
