Haven’t stopped by to see the updates yet? Come on in, grab a burger, and check out the new look. We’d love to see you!

Both start with our delicious corned beef, but there’s a little something that sets them apart!
Hot Corned Beef: Piled high with tender, flavorful corned beef on our classic rye bread. Simple, hearty, and always a favorite.
Reuben: Take that same delicious corned beef, add Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing, then grill it all together on rye.
So, what’s it going to be?
Are you Team Hot Corned Beef or Team Reuben?

Before fancy kitchen equipment, there was a coffee cup!
When Jim and Kitz Masterson took over Hackney’s as newlyweds in 1939, Jim worked the bar while Kitz ran the kitchen.
Without a scale, Kitz measured fresh-ground beef using a coffee cup, then hand-shaped each patty into an oval to fit perfectly on Hackney’s signature dark rye bread.
They eventually bought a fancy burger-making machine, but the burgers just weren’t the same. So, out went the machine and back came the coffee cup!
Some things are just better the old-fashioned way.

The Reuben has a turkey-loving cousin, and her name is Rachel!
All the goodness of a classic Reuben, just swapping out the corned beef for turkey. Same sandwich love, different twist!
Are you team Reuben or Rachel?

Our Patty Melt brings a little twist to a Hackney’s classic! Made with the same Hackneyburger patty you know and love, served on grilled rye bread with melted cheese and grilled onions for that perfect combination of savory, cheesy goodness.
If you love a good burger, this one’s worth a try! Have you had our Patty Melt yet?

Jim and Kitz Masterson started a new chapter for Hackney’s in 1939, and their seven children helped carry that family legacy forward through the generations.
Hackney’s has always been about more than burgers. It’s about family, memories, and the people who made it what it is today.
Do you have a favorite story or memory about the Masterson family? We’d love to hear it!

In 1939, Jim and Kitz Masterson were newlyweds when they took over the original Hackney’s business on Harms Road from their family for just $1. Jim and Kitz didn’t just take over a restaurant; they helped build a tradition that would become part of Glenview’s history. And that’s what makes the story so special. What started as a small family business became a place where memories were made, friendships grew, and generations returned to the same familiar tables.
