Opened in 1971 as the first restaurant in the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises group, RJ Grunts has become famous for its casual, laid-back vibe, quirky decor featuring vintage posters and memorabilia, and a menu filled with burgers, sandwiches, milkshakes, and other diner-style favorites.
One of the restaurant’s standout features is its legendary salad bar, one of the first of its kind in the city, offering a wide variety of fresh toppings and dressings. The restaurant also serves up thick, juicy burgers, hand-cut fries, and indulgent milkshakes, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for a classic American dining experience.
With its lively energy, friendly service, and a mix of classic rock and funk playing in the background, RJ Grunts remains a go-to spot for those craving comfort food in a nostalgic setting.
