Hackney's is a classic American restaurant that serves authentic American food like burgers and fries, and has been a popular spot in Chicago since the Prohibition Era. Of all the amazing dishes here, one of the most popular is the Hackney Burger. This is a half-pound grilled burger served on two slices of rye bread, and is one of the reasons Hackney's has become so famous. Another delicious dish that stands out from the crowd includes Hackney's Original French Fried Onions. The french fried onions have placed in the top three onions rings in the country consistently, despite not even being rings! If you want to experience authentic classic American cuisine at a restaurant that's been serving America for 76 years, Hackney's is the place to go.
“Long time customer love the outdoor seating. Service is very good and friendly. The as always excellent. You have to have their signature fried onion loaf.”
“If you haven’t tried staying in one of the igloos at Hackney’s, I highly recommend it! The service was great, the food was good, and we loved having our own private igloo. It was exceptionally warm and cozy with heaters, blankets, and pillows, and it was decorated beautifully. The ambiance really made the experience feel special. The unlimited fries were a nice touch, though sharing one basket with a larger group was a bit inconvenient. Overall, everything was amazing and we had a great time!”
“Had a fantastic family lunch at Hackneys today, thank you to our server Ariel, and the fantastic food runner Nestor who was amazingly kind and funny! Food was all delivered delicious and hot, the Reuben egg rolls are a must try, and I had the smash burger which had so many great flavors! Also, they come in full pints here, so it was a fun afternoon and will be back soon.”
“Solid place. Love the vibe. Food tasted very good, especially the Burger. Would recommend it for anyone into fried foods. Even the corn beef tastes fresh. Wish the server was more attentive. Didn’t give many napkins or refills unless asked. It’s either because the restaurant is so spread out or the fact that there were very few servers when we came. There was an issue that occurred… We had a bug appear in one of my tables wine glasses. Really freaked them out. But they were extremely nice about it and fixed a new glass. Not something entirely they could control, but we were inside eating sooooo it was a little weird it happened. Nice and quiet. Good place to come to just relax and eat good food. Would recommend and probably come again!”
“We visit Hackney's about once a year during our family trip to the Chicago area. Never has it been this understaffed and the food this poorly prepared before. Our waiter CJ was working as hard as he could and being as pleasant as possible but he was obviously the only waiter for too many tables. When our food came out the hamburgers were improperly cooked, side orders of fries did not arrive for a couple of people in our party, and we had to wait over a half hour after obviously being done with our meals to help CJ clear our table and get our dessert orders. Hopefully this was a one-off bad night and not the beginning of a downward trend.”
