Michael's Grill & Salad Bar

Iconic Michael's Grill & Salad Bar in Highland Park offers on-site events in our restaurant’s event space as well as off-site catering. Michael’s is best known for our delicious, Chicago-style comfort food, our community atmosphere and friendly customer service. At our infamous restaurant counter your food is made-to-order! Order the fare that made Michael's famous -- such as Chicago-style hot dogs, cheddar char burgers, teriyaki chicken, Italian beef or cheddar fries. Alternatively, opt for healthier selections such as our signature wraps or greens, bison burgers, baked potatoes, veggie or turkey burgers (gluten free buns available or create-your-own salad from our 60+ salad ingredient choices.) Talk with our professional, seasoned catering and event staff about your next social or corporate event, milestone celebration, reunion or fundraiser. We accommodate up to 100 guests in our semi private space or up to 225 guests for full venue buy-outs. Our events team can take care of your every need. Michael's caters both either at our place or yours! If you are planning a BBQ allow us bring our popular Char Bar to your backyard or place of business. If you desire a more upscale menu like skirt steak or salmon, we have you covered! Michael’s recent, full-scale renovation resulted in a more upscale, contemporary look with a nod to the nostalgic. Our event space offers sophisticated state-of-the-art A/V, including custom colored lighting, 6 flat screen monitors and a 180” projection screen. We host a fully-equipped bar and our elevated DJ booth is now located by our dance floor -- in the back area where the ceilings are high.
