Classic Maxwell Street Polish and pork chop sandwiches served fast and cheap; great late-night bite with some cleanliness and consistency complaints.
Express Grill earns its grade through solid food quality anchored by the signature Maxwell Street Polish and fast, efficient service, making it a legitimate Chicago street-food destination. However, inconsistent execution and minimal seating with outdoor-only waiting prevent higher standing. For those seeking authentic, budget-friendly late-night eats with decades of local loyalty, it delivers; for comfort-focused dining, it falls short.
One caveat: Pork chop can be dry or over-charred per several reports
