Our family eats here every week. The burgers on dark rye are great and there is something for everyone. The service is really friendly and the drinks are generous.
Not many places like this left. Definitely worth a visit.

I must say this is probably the worst restaurant I have been to in the Chicagoland area. We stopped for the patio which was nice, but the food was tasteless and boring. I still don't know how you can make such a flavorless burger. I will never go back. How this place is still in business is a mystery. Stay away!!

The dark rye bread is fabulous but unfortunately cannot help the burger. The famous fried onion smells better than it tastes. Unfortunately the smoke from the cigarettes takes away from the "family friendly" atmosphere.

Slow and very poor service . Average hamburgers and fries. Key lime pie should not be served warm. Will not return.

The truly disappointing service set the tone for the entire meal. For a great Hackey's experience it is difficult to beat Hackney's on Harms!!!

What a disappointment for a burger place that was close to the top in the Trib Burger Derby. The burgers were dry and tasteless. Service was poor: waitress abandoned us, orders mixed up among our party, items on plate were missing. At $8 not a good value. Plus side was the onion loaf and the chicken tenders. Try Michaels in HP or Fuddruckers for a better burger.

This is one of the most over rated places ever. I will never understand the why it's so popular. The last good burger I had was at Acorn on Oak. This place never changes it's mebu and the is nothing. The onions are a novelty because of the shape and are often not cooked through the whole loaf.

This place is a North Shore tradition. The hamburger on dark rye is terrific. The service is attentive and prompt. I read a review shortly before returning to Hackneys and almost did not. I'm glad I did return. It was, as always, an enjoyable experience.
