This restaurant is a classic, especially if you happen to be of Irish descent. The hamburgers at this place are classic for the Chicago area. That is saying something considering this is the same city that has the Billy Goat Tavern. Then, there's the onion loaf. I am telling you, these onions very literally melt in your mouth.
The Hackney's on Harms is basically a house. The parking is a little limited and the seating can be a bit tough, but it is worth every minute. This is the perfect place to sit down and drink a pint of Guiness. I also have a friend who plays in a bagpipe band and he sometimes plays here. It's about as close to sitting in a large Irish pub in the middle of the UK as you can find in the Midwest.
The menu is excellent with plenty of things beyond burgers. The decor is nice and the atmosphere is perfect. It gives you a fine dining experience without the fine dining prices.
There's another Hackney's in Wheeling, but try this one first.

After we saw Hackney's On Harm on the Food Channel, we decided to try it on our next visit.
If you are looking for flash and glitz, keep driving, Chicago is full of over priced places.
If you are looking for absolutly fantastic burgers, steaks, onion loafs, etc., then take the time to print out a map and take the time to find them. We have been back many times over the years, and always look forward to our next visit before even leaving the diner table. The prime rib is worth the drive all by itself!
Even if you are not a big fan of Key Lime Pie, you've got to try theirs which is fantastic!
Everyone from Grandma and Grandpa to the smallest grandkids are welcome. Portions tend to be on the large size so if you leave hungry, don't blame them. Service is excellent, even on a Saturday night but expect to wait.
Pros: Melt In Your Mouth Burgers
Cons: Too Far Away to Visit Weekly

This place was the favorite restaurant of my boss when I first started working for the most evil and horrible company in the world, Aon Consulting. This was the place that was the restaurant to go to for the "welcome" lunches that were standard for client teams back there. Having tasted some great Italian food in Chicago, I had to wonder what this tiny place that sort of looked like a house could possibly have that would make it such a rave.
The food, well, I can't even begin to describe how fantastic the food is. I found dishes here I was never willing to try other places and I just loved them. There was one dish with artichokes in it, for crying out loud. Do you know how good a meal has to be to get me to eat artichokes? Pretty freaking good.
The desserts are also amazing. The italian ices come in scooped out fruit halves. So, if you get the lemon ice you can expect it to come in a lemon half and frozen solid. Same with the coconut ice.
There is also a dessert that involves a banana and chocolate that you actually have to order as soon as you sit down because it takes that long to put it together.
Hard to find because it is in a place where you would not expect to find great Italian dining, but worth the effort.

We just got back from another fantastic meal at Cafe Lucci. I had the Veal Gorgonzola and my wife had the sea bass with artichokes and capers. Both dishes were perfect. Appetizer (escargots) and dessert (tartufo) were very tasty as well. Service was outstanding as always. We asked our server to recommend a moderately-priced bottle of wine and what she suggested was delightful. Despite it being early on a Tuesday evening there was a lively crowd of diners which appeared to be a mix of first-timers and regulars, and a fun atmosphere. We love this place!
Pros: Super service, atmosphere, food

When our 10 year old disposal gave up the ghost, we needed to replace it in a hurry.
ABT had a nice selection online, so we could choose the unit we wanted. They were able to deliver it and install it during the next business day.
We've bought other items from them in the past. They've always had an extensive selection of electronics and appliances at very fair prices. Having super fast delivery in the Chicago area is a bonus.

I had an issue with a refurbished Westinghouse LCD TV I'd purchased online back in July '07. After getting cable I realized my TV had something wrong with it as no video was showing and there was a "This Channel Blocked" message. I called Westinghouse directly and they were great but could only offer phone numbers to repair shops in the area since I was out of warranty. I called ABT first and though they told me right off that they couldn't work on my TV since I didn't buy it there, they researched the owners manual while I was one the phone, asked me set-up question on my cable box and came up with a work-around that allowed my cable come through without the blockage message! I was so thankful for their help, I signed up on CitySearch just to write this review!

Best prices (even match internet), knowledgeable sales people (who aren't teenagers) unlike the other chain competition. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Chicagoland or even online. I've bought thousands of dollars of appliances and electronics there including an Apple Imac, Canon HDTV Camcorder, Frigidaire Front Load Washer and Dryer. 100% Satisfaction on every purchase. I work in retail and know good service when I see it and Abt continues to deliver. 3 Generations of my family have shopped Abt when they were in Chicago, Niles, Glenview (Waukegan Rd), and today (Milwaukee Ave).

That was in 1971. Even then, it had a great reputation for the hamburgers on black bread, onion rings (which literally come in a half-brick or brick) and german chocolate cake. 35 years later, they're still putting out great food at a fair price.
I've since learned that their Reubens are quite good as well.
This is a nice choice for casual dining.
