3rd Chute Bar & Grill: Where Grafton Feels Like Home

Some places are just restaurants, and others are the heart of a community. 3rd Chute Bar & Grill is, without a doubt, the heart of Grafton—serving our locals and visitors year-round, rain or shine, summer and winter.

Led by Chasity and her incredible crew, "team" is the perfect word to describe the staff here. From the moment you walk in, the mission is clear: no one is a stranger at 3rd Chute. They serve up classic American bar food that’s been elevated with a generous portion of home-style love. Come for the delicious weekday specials, like their legendary hand-breaded pork chop dinner, but be sure to mark your calendars for the main events: their famous fried chicken dinner on Thursday evenings and a perfectly cooked steak dinner on Fridays. And let's not forget that they are the #1 Karaoke destination in Grafton, Illinois.

Pull up a stool and you’ll not only find some of the cheapest and coldest drinks in town, but you’ll also be greeted by some of the most outgoing and welcoming personalities on the river. So whether you’re a local grabbing your weekly special or a visitor looking for an authentic taste of Grafton, stop by 3rd Chute. You’re guaranteed to leave with a full belly and a new friend.
