History
West Loop's oldest restaurant, The Palace Grill is located at 1408 W. Madison St. Chicago, IL 60607 and has been serving good food at affordable prices for 80 years. It has not always been called The Palace Grill; in fact, it is not even clear which month the DeMars Grill (originally named) opened in 1938. The name of the restaurant later changed to the Palace Grill in the 50's. George Lemperis has been the proud owner for 40+ years and the restaurant has been in his family for 60+ years! George has a large passion for life and the family business. He warmly greets customers by name as they enter his establishment and has created everlasting friendships with many of his clientele. In 2012, George's daughter, Christina, joined the Palace Grill team and started the Catering Shop in 2015.
