Hackney's on Lake

“Great food, great building, great staff.”

After having not having visited for several years I thought it would be a solid choice because my previous experiences had been good. Everything about the visit was disappointing. There was no one at the host station when we arrived. When we finally got seated, the server did initially visit our table within a reasonable amount of time, but didn't come back to take our order until I ask another member of the staff to have our server come take our order as we hadn't seen her for quite a long time. My lunch partner was fairly happy with her meal, but my burger was very dry and flavorless. Perhap

I am a 3rd generation hackneys visitor. A lot of things change over the years but the hackney burger and fried onions have remained a north shore staple. Came early but table was already situated. Drinks were good, appetizers came out rapid fast and the French fries were perfect. My burger could have been a little better, but other people’s food in my party was made well prepared and tasty. The hot fudge sundae dessert as well as the chocolate mousse cake were delicious. Overall our experience this evening was positive and we look forward to returning again soon.

We had seen this restaurant on diners drive ins and dives and my fiancé mentioned going to the lake Zurich location often as a kid. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but we had family in town and decided it might be nice to check it out after talking about it for some time. I will say we went towards the end of the night and so maybe the staff was tired and just ready to go home, but our waitress seemed sort of annoyed with us from the moment we sat down. The server who brought out our food REALLY hates her job, as she called out each order she was clearly annoyed. Most of the table ordered burger

Nothing special. Food isn't great. Onion rings are tasteless. Burger was served on a sliced loaf rather than a bun, which was way too big for the size of the burger patty. Staff were friendly. Atmosphere is non-existent... everyone in there was over 60.
