This is the best diner in Chicago. The food is excellent. It's either up and coming or the most underrated spot currently. A must go to for all diner lovers. Highly recommend the southwest skillet with scrambled eggs. Ps. They make an amazing London Fog read more

Boulevard Bistro is a cozy breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in Avondale. Never a dull moment here, I've been curious about this place for years. Despite how busy it was, it only took about 10 min for my table of 4 to get seated. Drinks and food came out quickly and our server was very friendly and attentive. The pancakes were a real standout here, and I love places that squeeze their own orange juice. Great place to get breakfast! read more

I was looking for a new breakfast spot to try and I came across boulevard bistro I was a bit off because of the name but then I saw that they served breakfast which is what I wanted. The menu has a good selection of foods not too overwhelming of a menu. I got the ham omelet and my husband got the Denver omelet food is good! And fresh! Everything we ordered was delicious the potatoes was so soft and not salty at all. The customer service was good, our waitress I believe was the owner she was super nice and was attentive. It's a cute little spot, it's clean, loved the decor inside. Definitely worth the try read more

We were looking for breakfast and randomly picked this place from Google. It turned out to be so good! It's charming inside, cute diner vibes! The staff was great. I had the California eggs benedict and it was really, really good! The breakfast potato's with them were alright, needed some seasoning though. They had great coffee, and i saw the soup of the day was dill pickle, so i had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised, it was really good!! Great place for breakfast overall! read more

Breakfast on a Friday morning to celebrate my first full week of retirement. Picked the Bistro because it was on the way to one of our stops for errands that day. I had the Denver omelette with fruit on the side and Rick enjoyed the Nutella Crepes. Omelette was with fresh eggs, fluffy and chock full of ham, onions and peppers - as it should be. Nice variety in the fruit cup - not just hunks of over-ripe cantaloupe. Rick devoured his crepes - declaring them to be just right. Friendly and efficient service. Will definitely be back. read more

Boulevard Bistro - Bistro Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Such a fun and cozy little diner. Enjoyed my birthday breakfast here with my daughter and her husband. My daughter and I split a veggie omelette along with the breakfast potatoes and gluten-free pancakes. The omelette was fluffy and had a good amount of vegetables in it. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. The gluten-free pancakes were delicious. I want to note that the waitress was not only very kind and offered great service, but she discussed which options would be best for me that were gluten-free. I would definitely recommend this diner for a cute, casual and yummy meal. read more

Boulevard Bistro - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was great. We had pancakes and eggs, but their staff ... it would seem they've been working there for a while and they feel very comfortable. A little too comfortable to be professional. I've been there two times and both times I saw them point and tap at each other to talk about certain customers. They're not discreet and regardless of what is being said, their body language and eyes say more than words. This makes other people, like me who noticed, wonder what brings this behavior to a setting where they could've waited or at least taken off the main floor and away from customer view. We all like to gossip here and there and no one will be able to stop them from doing it. That behavior takes away from their validity of being "adults" and the restaurant having a safe and peaceful environment for customers to eat and instead it gives them a mean girls flare where not everyone is accepted. Not sure if I want to visit again. read more

Cozy little breakfast and brunch diner. I ordered the steak skillet; the steak had good flavor and texture but the potatoes were a little on the hard side. Service was quick but we didn't feel rushed, giving my friends and I ample time to catch up with each other. read more

Boulevard Bistro - Pecan Belgian Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ate here years ago, under previous ownership , and it's even better today: great french toast options. Omelettes, etc. Nice neighborhood vibe where the waitress knows everyone's name and they keep the hot (Juliius Meinl) coffee in a tabletop carafe. I wish I had a place like this on the Northwest side - I'd be there every day! Reasonable prices, too. read more

I love when I find a place that you can tell the owner really cares about their business. It's like an old-school diner with home style cooking, warm hospitality and unique menu. Daria the owner is cooking it up with love! I had smoked brisket, grilled onions, jack cheese omelette, with French toast. I'll be back for sure! read more

I ordered the Scrambler with Sausage, Tomatoes, cheese and spinach. The scrambler was very tasty and the eggs were nicely cooked. I ordered the French Toast as my side and I absolutely loved the French Toast. It was very good and so tasty. The side potatoes were good as well. The only thing I was not to crazy about was the coffee, it was really watered down. Very light. There was a young man who took care of us. I don't know his name but he was really nice, and very attentive. read more

My brother and I got to check out BB and I will say it was a very different kind of restaurant in a good way. The food quality was really good and you could tell how passionate they are about the food. The Service was pretty good. Kind of had that old 60's diner feel. And the atmosphere was pleasant and the vibe really was open and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and give Boulevard Bistro and you won't be disappointed! read more

Super cute restaurant with a great location for people watching. Large American menu for diner type food. We came for brunch and had the French toast, buffalo chicken salad wrap, and kids mac and cheese. The food was hot to order, super tasty, and good portions. They even made a yummy hot mocha with their cafe menu. The service was friendly but slow. They were busy but we still waited awhile for food. Definitely a take your time kind of restaurant. Will definitely be back. read more

For years, I had passed this location and kept saying that I would eventually stop by for breakfast or lunch. It was under a different name and I think that it changed since the pandemic. Nevertheless, I had a slow Sunday, so I stopped in. I played it safe with my ordering. I stuck to my go-to breakfast choices - Belgian waffle, scramble eggs, and house potatoes. The waffle was not an Eggo, which is a winner. The eggs had to have had a little bit of salt in them because I didn't need to add any. The potatoes could have used a little seasoning, but they were hot on the plate. I remember the restaurant being rather busy in the past. There was the usual brunch feel to it with the crowd waiting outside for a seat. It may be that it was cold when I went or people are still cautious with remnants of COVID lingering. I'm just glad I stopped in when I did. read more

We're visiting from the Southwest and staying in Lincoln Park, and this place came up while searching for a good breakfast spot with gluten-free options. I'm a sucker for Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, and theirs hit the spot. It's not the trendiest place, but it gave total "your mom made breakfast" energy--in a good way. Some of the savory stuff (like the omelette and eggs Benedict) leaned a little dry, but overall we were happy with everything. If you're more into sweet breakfast, this one's worth checking out. read more

Great food, service, and vibe. I got a skillet with scrambled eggs and the eggs were some of the best scrambled eggs I've ever had at a restaurant. The food was hot, delicious and beautiful. I'll be back here for sure. read more

This was my first time coming to this place even though I have driven past hundreds of times, it is less than 2 miles away from my home and I don't know why I didn't visit sooner.

This is my local breakfast spot, and I've been here more than a few times. It's a small to medium-sized diner with no frills. Their food is delicious, especially their skillets. The service is incredibly quick. Even when the diner is packed, the food is on the table in less than 10 minutes. read more

I really wanted to like Boulevard Bistro given all the positive reviews, but I found it lacking. For starters, the eggs were absolutely terrible. They tasted like the cheap liquid eggs you get at a continental breakfast at a motel. The rest of the food was so-so except for the french toast. I did enjoy the french toast and would recommend that. The service was also mixed. The person serving us was not attentive at all and we had to remind her a few times about missing items. Though there was another server we flagged down who was helpful. The ambiance inside is best described as busy and loud. Might be hard to get a table so come early. Also, there's not much street parking so prepare for that. Overall, I personally wouldn't go back but it seems there are plenty of positive reviews to warrant a visit. read more

A simple diner with friendly, fast staff even though they were totally slammed on a Tuesday at 11am. Good drip coffee and fresh lemonade. 5 stars for the croissant bacon egg sandwich and the brisket omelet on special. Fluffy eggs cooked perfectly in both. read more

Logan Square family owned, friendly comfortable atmosphere, good service, reasonably priced. 15 different homemade soup specials, two rotated daily. It's the "Cheers" of breakfast restaurants -- they KNOW their customers, greet them, and remember individual orders! Open 7 - 3, everyday. Enjoy! read more

My experience today with Boulevard Bistro was not good at all. The waitress was indifferent and carried a bad disposition. I asked for coffee prior to ordering and she never brought it to my table. I had to ask again when my food was finally brought out to the table. She never refilled my coffee or asked me if i wanted anymore. She did ask how things were once during the meal. But i was astonished when i saw her sitting down eating with a plate of food while she was supposed to be taking care of us. Indifferent, cold attitude. This was not a good start to my day for breakfast. Upper management needs a word with staff on how to be courteous, welcoming and have an 'at your service' attitude. read more

WOW I think I'm the new biggest fan of Boulevard Bistro! I had the great pleasure of going for my first time this past Sunday morning and I was blown away. To start, the vibe is amazing - it honestly took me back to my childhood with an old style diner vibe where you can sit at the bar rail. I honestly didn't even feel like I was in Chicago anymore! I had two sunny side up eggs, toast, and potatoes and it was everything I wanted and more. The food was very fresh and tasty and would definitely order the same meal again (tried and true!). My family who came with me, also thoroughly enjoyed their meals and we all said we would come back in a heartbeat. To top it off, the service was attentive, kind, and great throughout our entire meal despite the restaurant being completely full. I cannot rave enough about Boulevard Bistro - if you've never been, you definitely should and if you have been, you understand why I gave it the review that I did. Thank you, Boulevard Bistro for not only for a fantastic meal but experience as well. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Boulevard Bistro - Eggs, potatoes, and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is your standard diner. The food is nothing special. The people are friendly and there usually isn't a wait to get in. I had a Greek omelette with egg whites and a cup of coffee this morning. It came with hash browns (which were cold) and your choice of toast. The coffee is unlimited for $4 (very average coffee). My tab was $24 before tip, so $28 all in for one person. I personally would go to Lula Cafe or Longman and Eagle for brunch as the quality is much higher. But if you want a standard American breakfast, this is your spot. read more

My boyfriend and I came in on a busy Sunday brunch but got seated right away. It was super busy so it took a while to get a server to come to our table to order our food and coffee. We noticed the table next to us got sat after us but had received their meals before we did which was confusing. When our food did come, it was very delicious. We paid overall $40 including tax and tip. read more

phenomenal service, food, and atmosphere! Very attentive, white staff and delicious food!

Went for lunch today with a couple of family members. I had the Southwest Salad with grilled chicken and chipotle ranch dressing. It was fresh, attractive, and the chicken was actually grilled and hot. Super flavorful. My other family members split a turkey panini and same Southwest Salad. We all shared the fries. The sandwich was generous and grilled just right. It benefitted by smearing a bit of the chipotle dressing on the bites. The fries were meh. Service was super nice. Wonderful people. Cute, bright atmosphere. DEF be back. read more

Great experience for my family who has multiple dietary restrictions (gluten free and dairy free).

We stopped after visiting the Verizon store down the block. Both establishments get 5 stars in our view. Boulevard Bistro proudly announces in its window that it is woman-owned by a former employee and we stopped to talk with her when we left. The food was plentiful and delicious; the bagel was as advertised, not frozen, the chicken noodle soup was obviously homemade as well as the corned beef hash in the skillet. The scrambled eggs on top of the skillet were soft and moist, not oily and thin. Even the napkins get a shout-out--sturdy and large. read more

We've been going to this charming diner ever since our kids were little - it's a family favorite and everything from the eggs, to the pancakes and sandwiches are all delicious and freshly made.

Loved this place and the people that run it is amazing. I brought my car to the shop and it was highly recommended... now I highly recommend it! Daria is very attentive and has a great personality. I had the GF French toast with amazing coffee while I attended a work Zoom meeting.

Now I have where to go when dropping off my car at the shop read more
