"Grady's has been a go to place for dinner for a few years. The food we had on our recent outing was very good as usual. We all felt that the service, however, was not as usual. Our server was not very attentive. One party ordered hot tea at the start and had to wait quite a while to get it served. My water was never refilled - though when I ordered coffee I was asked if I would like more. Two of us have been to the restaurant on several occasions and just did not feel it was the same. We noticed only one server from past visits. The specials were not anything "special" that would make us say "wow". Dessert was not ever offered. I will more than likely return, one so-so experience will not deter me. Hopefully the next time will be better."

"The food was flavorful and creative. The service was amazing. The noise level was loud and difficult to hold a conversation with someone directly in front of you. It may be better to choose a table outside."

"Highly recommend the chicken tortilla soup; it is one of the best. The chicken in my salad was chewy (spinach, goat cheese) but the chicken in my husbands salad (BBQ chicken) was excellent. Not sure why the difference."

"Great Manhattan - nice way to start the dinner. The wedge salad is always a good bet at the beginning of the meal. The new Pasta Diablo was great - definitely worth trying. Wish they had better coffee options afterwards."

"My fiancée and I have been there twice and are really impressed. We brought two friends with us the 2nd time and they enjoyed everything. The margarita we had Friday was really sugary so I could only have one of them. I'm watching my sugar intake. The serving was out of a pint glass so maybe you could use normal glasses. The parking lot is good for cars but its a little tight for SUV's . We'll definitely be back however."

"I visited Grady's Grille for Valentine's Day because I wanted to avoid the downtown Chicago traffic but still get a nice meal. Grady's Grille has a nice selection of appetizers, meals, and drinks. We had $10 margarita specials, burgers, wings appetizers, and pasta.
Everything was great. The lighting could of been better suited for the day (pretty bright, would of liked them to be dim).
Average price per meal $13-$18."

"We went there for Valentine's Day. The menu was very enticing, and our waitress was very helpful. The seating area was a bit crammed and loud, but it was Valentine's Day so I can't complain too much.
I had the bacon and egg cheeseburger. Which was very good, but I would prefer a runny egg over the fried one it cam with. According to the waitress it is a very popular item there. My girlfriend had some pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes. She said it was pretty good.
I would definitely go back multiple times to try the rest of the menu."
