Wonderburger Closing Dec. 31, Will Reopen Under New Ownership

It might be the end of an era for this neighborhood landmark.

The most famous burger joint in Mount Greenwood will be closing on Dec. 31 and the plan is to reopen under new ownership in a few weeks. 

Grant's Wonderburger Grill, 11045 S Kedzie Ave., has been operating since 1954 under the Grant family. The family has sold the restaurant to new owners and will close for a short period as the management transitions. 

Customers have been flocking to the neighborhood landmark this week as word of the sale spread. Customers were being told Tuesday morning that while the restaurant has been sold, the new owners plan to keep the special sauce and other menu staples. 

The restaurant will likely reopen in a couple of weeks.
