Are there any 24 hour restaurants near Chicago's Union Station?

My fiance and I are going to a Cubs game and don't want to stay in a hotel overnight to wait till our train leaves in the morning. So we are trying to find a place within walking distance of Union Station to kill a few hours. Preferably a nice, clean place.Are there any 24 hour restaurants near Chicago's Union Station?
"Twenty four hour restaurants" usually means diner, and "nice, clean" ones are hard to come by at that time of morning (a real RESTAURANT shuts down at night to give the night crew a chance to clean up). Union Station is near Greektown and there are a couple of diner-type places there that are open late. One is Mr. Greek Gyros on Jackson and Halsted. They serve basic diner food like burgers and fries, but they also have Greek dishes like Greek roasted chicken and slouvaki. It used to be a little sketchy around there late at night when I worked down at a building down the street, but it's been gentrified so much around there that I can't say for sure what's going on there. There's also a taco place (Taco Burrito King I believe it's called) that's just across the street from Mr. Greek that might be open late as well. But if you're looking for something a little "nicer" and "cleaner" you're going to have to travel a bit.



But I'm also sure that there's something open actually inside Union Station that might be OK. It's a big train station and there are tons of resaurants of all types. At least a couple should be open.Are there any 24 hour restaurants near Chicago's Union Station?
