    Gale Street Inn - Diamond Lake, Mundelein, 935 N Diamond Lake Rd, Mundelein, IL 60060

    For almost 60 years, gale street inn has been serving fine food and spirits with gracious hospitality. while ribs were one of the original menu items, we never thought they’d become world famous.

    in 1974, george and his wife joan ventured out to what was then considered the country. they found the perfect location on the shores of diamond lake. a great deal has changed since then, but our commitment to service and great food hasn’t.

    we welcome you to visit and see what’s new. it’s the gale street you love and remember with a more comfortable and updated atmosphere. come for your favorite dishes prepared by our award-winning chef and stay for the sunset, a good cocktail, and many more memories to be made.

    One review mentioned:

    Can t beat this place for ribs. been going for decades. they still fall off the bone they are so tender. service is great, lovely dining room across the street from diamond lake. good wine list and extensive menu. we would go more often if it wasn t so pricey but it s our go-to spot for special occasions.

    One review mentioned:

    Having been here many years ago, and returning, found that their food has improved, but the service is minimal at best with the owner and one staff waiting on all the tables. after we sat down to a half empty room, it started to fill up and there were not enough staff, not even a bus boy to clear tables. we ordered the dolsot be bim bop and the yuk guy jang, which i order visiting new resturants to see if they are consistent with authentic korean food. the yuk guy jang was good but much different than i ve ever had before. i will try to visit again since i love korean food too see if they are consistent. be fore you go, look and hit the thumbs up.

    Everything from beginning to end was basically perfect. when i called in, a lady was extremely nice and patient with me when i had questions. a guy who works in the back held the door on my way in like a perfect gentleman. the food was amazing. they cook with corn oil which makes the egg rolls to die for. even the leftovers of my kung pao lunch special were great. all of the ingredients seemed fresh and the fried rice had delicious pieces of pork mixed in. the best part is it is inexpensive and i could definitely do this once a week. looking forward to revisiting soon!

    We had seen the restaurant when patronizing la michoacana so we decided to try it out. the restaurant is very clean and bright. i had enchiladas suiza with chicken that was excellent. my companion had the pechuga with vegetables and she could not stop eating it. even after she said she wanted to save some. the only bad thing is that my diet coke came in a can and i assume refills would cost more. otherwise, a great lunch experience and we will be back!!

    One review mentioned:

    This past august was literally the first time dining in at this location since 99 believe it or not. i guess because im a foodie and love to explore new places, maybe thats what took me so long to get back here and not to mention ive gotten my fill of bp pizza at the north location over the years which is much closer to my house in beach park. this pizza is heavenly and truly one of the best ive ever had in my entire life. they say the big city is the place to be but regardless if youre in chicago, ny or detroit or even a frozen pizza brand; it really is what you like. as far as taste, this venue alongside the third lake location and a popular parlor in lake forest are tied for the #1 spot in my book. besides pizza, bills also has a great all around menu as well as a good alcohol menu with overall still fair enough prices, friendly service in a clean & rustic log cabin vibe. guys, i love your pizza and i promise i wont wait several years to come back for more greatness. always try my best to support local and i hope for continued success & prosperity for the owner(s).
