I have been to both locations, Harms and Glenview Road. The location on Harms Road by far beats the other location. It is a warmer atmosphere, staff are more relaxed, and they make a great Whiskey Sour. Food is actually better here.

I'm from the area. Brought my soon to be husband here for lunch. After we got our marriage license! We currently live out of state and got married in my hometown. Loved the chill vibe inside. We had a few beers at the bar. And I twisted my loves arm for the onion brick but we got the 1/4 which was just fine. I wanted the 1/2 one. I got the delicious hackney burger as usual! Love this local spot and the food! Great bar tender!

Been a Hackney's customer forever. Love the burgers and they have a great Reuben sandwich as well. Can't skip the fried onions either. The Harms location is a quaint building with a huge outdoor patio. Great place for outdoor dining. Enjoy!

This is a 4.5!! I love old school and I love quality burgers. Hackney's on Harms is a historical institution. Cute outside accommodations, but I don't like eating outside. In lieu, I chose a booth in the bar. Tap beer selection was nice. The service was attentive, polite and professional. Now to the food. We ordered a quarter order of the famous fried onion strings. Absolutely delicious. We both had the Hackney Burger, and the pictures say it all, perfect medium rare. The dark rye bread is a different take, but I'd take a bun next time. The fries are bottomless and hot/fresh. Cole slaw was also a different take. I liked it and the wife did not. Bonus slaw for me!! The only thing needed is it may need a little update. Alas, but then it wouldn't be the same historically correct landmark. Definitely worth a try and keep up the good work at this historical gem.

This was my first visit to Hackney's in more years than I remember. It was Memorial Day and we decided to go out, rather than barbeque. We all felt like burgers, and that's what Hackney's has always been known for. We checked both locations - Lake and Harms and decided on Harms. The Harms location does not take reservations and none were available at the Lake Street location. We were seated right away. It was a little cool and they don't have heaters, but it was tolerable. The service was great. We were seated right away. They immediately asked about drinks and appetizers, and we ordered 1/2 loaf of onion rings to start. Although I'm not supposed to have gluten, and the rings are dipped in flour, I did sample one small one. It was great. I can only speak to my burger. First, gluten-free buns tend to be very small. Not this one. They use a brand called Udi's, which I regularly get for home. I need to find where to get buns that are a big size like they have. The burger came medium as I ordered. It wasn't quite as good as I remember it being before, but in honesty, that was more than 25 years ago at a location that isn't open anymore. The fries come served in one large plate for the table. They don't put a serving of fries on everyone's plates. The fries were crisp (the way I like them) and not too salty, which was also good. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, so nothing to show. (I can't believe I forgot...) It was a fun experience. Next time we're there, and we will go again, I'll try something other than a burger.

I'm giving 4 stars specifically for the igloo experience. It's incredibly charming, surprisingly warm, and so fun to do around the holidays with family. That being said, the food is very lackluster and incredibly under-seasoned- make sure you have salt and pepper on the table! I stuck with a shrimp cocktail because the food was so bland. But our waitress was great!

First of all understand when you get here you can kiss your dieting goodbye But you will have a great time. I started off this Black Wednesday night visiting my friends in the north burbs of Chicago and people like this place so I went. This place has been here before my grandmother was born The famous hackney onion rings had to be ordered. I'm don't want to know about my sodium level. The onion rings look like they could be a cake My friend had a hamburger and I had the ribs. I think there is a hospital nearby which is good considering the menu. I am kinda joking. They also have a salad should you wimp out and not want to consume 2800 calories every half hour

My friend and I have met at Hackneys on Harms for the last fifteen years at least. I will usually get a 4oz Hackney burger and they get the French dip. Today we started with the Original French fried onions (1/2 brick) which was still more than we can eat but it's a fun tangled mess of thinly sliced deep fried onions stacked tall. They got the French dip again and I went for the Hackney burger (8oz) with cheddar cheese without the bun. It came on a platter with a tomato slice and iceberg lettuce and I requested grilled onion. I forgot to take pics because we were busy catching up but the meals come with fries for the table (unlimited) which we never get more of because there's no need. Our food was good as always. During nice weather the patio is delightful with a nice breeze blowing and the umbrellas blocking most of the end-of-summer sun. It's almost like eating on your neighbor's patio because this is a residential neighborhood and it's pretty quiet and there's pretty flowering baskets. Stick with the classics and you can't go wrong. I hope my friend and I can continue to meet here for many more times in the future.
