Tried this place on a Thursday afternoon for a brunch and I'm so glad I did! The staff was very kind and welcoming. The staff was very attentive and the food was ready quick.We ordered two mimosas for 10 dollars. The music here is very good, I enjoyed the vibes they played bachata/reggaeton. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles, he said it was very good and had a little kick to it. The portions were very large. I ordered the vegan chorizo hash, it was AMAZING!! I was pleasantly surprised. There was so much flavor and the veggies made it fresh. The guacamole on top was delicious and I added a side of scrambled eggs, which were perfectly scrambled. I would definitely come again for the hash! I love that they have veggie/vegan options read more

Big fan of this neighborhood breakfast joint. Living not too far from this establishment, we frequent here on average 1x month. Every-time we are here we are very pleased by the service and the food. This place used to be an Irish bar, and what they have done with the space is remarkable. The space is cozy, quaint, and homey, while also presenting a step up from a diner feel. When you first enter it is a smaller space, but when you turn the corner, you are presented with a whole separate dinning room, with ample seating. In the nice weather months, they also have a lovely and spacious patio worth checking out. Despite being on Irving Park Rd it is not too loud. On the weekends this place does get on the busy side, which is good to see. The later in the morning, the more busy it gets. We however have not had to wait longer than 10 mins for a table. Food is phenomenal and fair in serving. We have not had a bad meal here, and frequently try new menu items. However, the Breakfast Burrito is a classic go to. Food is always served fresh and HOT. Drinks are also great. We have had both coffee based beverages, and cocktails from here. Coffee is delicious, as I believe they brew Intelligentsia coffee. Cocktails (Bloody Mary anyone?) are also a must. Overall, this is one of our favorite brunch spots in the city. Great space, friendly and down to earth staff, relaxing vibes, and wonderful food/drinks. Great way to start off your day. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food is amazing. The French toast had a nice crisp, yet soft, bite to it. Their house potatoes are soooo flavorful. Highly recommend this place if you're ever in Chicago! read more

I cannot stress enough how great this place is. The staff are some of the friendliest, polite, and fastest I've ever seen this side of the Mississippi. They serve everything on that menu with a lil bit of sass and a whole lot of class. If you're looking for a rec though, you can't go wrong with the supreme chorizo hash and a side pancake or the chilaquiles. However, if you do try something different you'll still be just as tickled pink as if you had that harmonious hash. read more

Great service, tasty breakfast. Was able to sit outside on their covered patio. Happy we went.

Bless these folks for opening their restaurant during an unpredictable pandemic. Thankfully they found solace in such a reliable neighborhood who know a thing or two of fine dining especially during the morning hours. In my Irving Park neighborhood Facebook group, I've read countless posts promoting this restaurant, praising its delicious breakfast dishes. Since Breakfast House is so close to home, I decided to stop by one weekday morning. I usually don't go out for breakfast, especially during our current times, I figured it was time to get some takeout. The place was cozy with some great natural light that perfectly hit the building, doing some justice on the restaurant's already beaming appearance. We were greeted by a wonderfully sweet hostess who took no time gathering our order, and somehow took even less time delivering us our goodies. I ordered one of the specials from the menu- a chorizo house plate, a great mixture of eggs, chorizo, and potatoes that would satisfy any man or woman. It definitely did the trick for me! I imagine that once things go back to normal this would be a wonderful neighborhood hangout spot. Inside displayed a few seating tables along with a grand bar area. Brunch definitely looked like it was an option here as I spotted some mimosas chilling in the fridge behind the counter. I'd also imagine there'll be some type of patio arrangement just like the past establishment that resided there (RIP McNamara's). I'm pleased to say that Breakfast House lived up to it's expectations, and even though I'm not one to go out much for breakfast these days, if I were to I wouldn't see why I wouldn't come down here especially on a nicer day. read more

Our first time dining in since Chicago decided to reopen and this place did not disappoint. My husband and I got omelettes and both delicious. Try the pancakes Our wait staff,Cesci was incredible! She didn't skip a beat and even offered us to go coffee! Such a thoughtful gesture on a cold winter day. We will absolutely be back for more! Thank you!! read more

Overall great experience ! It's a bit pricey for the area but the food was good and the service was very fast and attentive! I had the chefs French toast and steak and eggs. The steak was a little under seasoned but not bad at all. A little salt and boom! The French toast however was spot on! Crunchy outside fluffy inside. My husband had the chorizo hash which was also good. The server came to our table often and was kind. I would definitely recommend this spot for brunch read more

Great breakfast place with a nice outdoor seating space. I had the chipotle BLT Benedict. The sauce was very mild with lots of flavor. The menu has many great options to choose from and I am eager to go back and try something new. read more

1/2 Chicken & Waffles was very good. Sour cream pancakes were best pancakes ever eaten! Latte was good , too.

Cute little place on the corner of Irving and Lowell. Ample seating outside on the busy street (Irving) and side street. The staff was welcoming and checked on us many times- SUPER friendly. You can tell they take great pride in their business. The food was excellent, and we also had some peach mimosas. Price point was a bit high, two people having breakfast goes past $40 (without drinks) and the mimosas were $10 each. I'd come back but my wallet was hurting a bit. :( read more

Love the fact they have specials on their menu! Good food that is reasonably priced! I'd come back.

I want to keep this place to myself and I normally don't write reviews but this place deserves one. Amazing food. Used to live by the ashland location and was sad when we moved and were going to drive back just for the food when we saw there was their newest and biggest location much closer. Got the chefs special French toast, it was f***ing amazing. Melt in your mouth cinnamon crunch and fresh strawberries and blueberries, drizzled dulce de leche, you literally don't even need syrup. Had it delivered, got the food super fast, order to empty plate in less than an hour, and even though it's -8 degrees outside, food was still hot. Not that it matters. I could eat the French toast freezing cold. It's that good. Sorry, didn't snap a pic, but here's my empty plate. read more

Great food and service I had the chorizo hash it was delicious only complaint was the side of pancake yes that's singular not plural. Most restaurants give you 2 pancakes, but it made me eat my entire entree Lol no food wasted read more

Food was very good but the service wasn't so great the long wait for getting your food and it took a while for someone to acknowledge us to place are order. I would come again i believe it could be just a busier day than usual. read more

I was referred by a friend to try this restaurant. I ordered a breakfast egg white omelette with spinach, mushrooms & feta, it was perfect! I also ordered a cup of intelligentsia coffee and that was so good too! I picked up the order to go but would definitely want to stop by for dine in. The place is cute and small, not sure if there was more seating out of my view since I wasn't inside the restaurant very long. All the people that worked there were very pleasant too! I would recommend this place. read more

Breakfast food is me & my boyfriend's favorite type of food. Now every time he stays the night with me, we go out in the morning to have breakfast. We've been to many other places, but this place is THE BEST & is officially our favorite spot! The Chef's Special Crepes were to die for. The croissant sandwich was perfectly filling. Although this was my first time here, it was the best breakfast food I had ever had. The ingredients went so well together. The restaurant was a lot bigger than we initially thought as well! Interior design felt very welcoming & their customer service was perfect! read more

I like to go to that place, but the waiters are very rude, they take away your plate before you have finished eating, they pressure you to eat quickly and they pressure you to leave soon. I like the place but I think I won't go back. read more

Love this place. Great addition to the neighborhood. The bloody Mary drinks are delicious. Also they are very accommodating with customizing entrees. I've been trying keto and they are great about making me a burrito without a tortilla. They get busy on weekends during peak brunch hours, especially for carry out, so plan accordingly. Can't wait for the weather to get better to walk over and use their outdoor seating! read more

My 4th time coming to this place because i just love the food so much. I love ordering the mexican or southwest omelette. They have a great variety of food options. Their portions are amazing and will most definitely make you full. The staff remembers me every time i eat there. They are very attentive and they give great quality service. The day before was my birthday and i told them this was my celebratory brunch. They surprised me with a birthday french toast which left me speechless because they were so nice for that. My favorite brunch place of all time. Please do yourself a favor and try them out! read more

I read Yelp way more than I leave reviews but we had such an outstanding experience here that I have to let the world know. The service was next-level great from everyone we encountered. We got the chef's special French toast and the supreme chorizo hash and they were both stellar. We just finished our leftovers for lunch and they held up. We're from out of town but we'll come back next time we visit. read more

I visited the Breakfast House today and the food was delicious. I had the BLT eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were perfectly done. There were a lot of interesting items on the menu. The service was great. Our waitress was very nice and continually stopped by to see how we were doing. We were not rushed. The owner walked to each table and asked how everything was and even gave us some recommendations for our next visit. The restaurant is very light and airy. The tables were spaced out well. Although it was a very cold day and the restaurant is exposed brick it was warm and cozy. I will definitely be back again soon. read more

Newer space, with metered parking right on Irving. They guided us through the smaller bar area to the main dining area. (More on this later). Our waitress came up promptly and upon request, gave us a paper menu. The first item on the rather large menu was their "signature dish", chorizo hash. Not being a breakfast sweets guy, that was a no-brainer for me. My wife, who IS a sweets eater ordered the baked apple french toast. After perusing the many savory breakfast items. I was relieved to find almost as many pancakes and crepes. They brought us our Intelligentsia coffee - Hot - right away, and our orders appeared very quickly afterwards. The hash was better than I imagined: very spicy chorizo and crispy potato cubes topped by 2 eggs over easy, a mound of guac, and a drizzle of Chipotle sauce. Amazing. My wife liked her baked apple French toast as well, remarking that it was non-greasy as some French toasts can be. Then refills on the coffe - without having to flag her down! The only (slight) downer is that the large dining room wasn't exactly conversation-friendly. Chalk some of that up to our declining hearing, but next time, we'll stick with the bar area, which was mercifully quiet. Extra credit given for having no TV blaring. So yeah, definitely 5 stars. Looking forward to coming back and exploring that interesting menu further. read more

Went in on a Saturday morning with another couple after a workout. The place was very crowded. The server was nice but very slow to come to the table to take our order or to bring items we requested. Everyone got their entree except me so I had to summon one of the waiters down to find out where it was. I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon, nothing special. My husband ordered eggs with ham and pancakes and was served one small pancake. The ham was thinly sliced and not tasty. For the prices they charge the food and service should be of better quality. Service and food is better across the street at golden nugget. We won't be going back. read more

Welcoming local place. Great breakfast menu. Serving intelligentsia coffee. I had the Atlantic salmon cake Benedict. I ordered it with a medium poach on the eggs -- they nailed it! The sign of a good breakfast place , in my opinion. They have vegan options! And they do chilaquiles! I was torn between that and Benedict. I'll be back to try the chilaquiles read more

Delicious!! Cozy! Welcoming! Excellent place for a nice relaxing brunch with loved ones! Highly recommend!

The food and service are phenomenal! I see why there is always a long line on the weekends! The fruit was perfectly ripened. The veggies in my vegan chorizo hash were so fresh and flavourful. The hash was delicious! My husband loved his omelette as well. They serve intelligentsia coffee which is a treat. They have a lot of outdoor space and can open the doors inside. Lots of fresh air circulating. Thankful we have another place we can walk to in the neighborhood and so delicious. read more

Hello Foodzies, yesterday we were in the city at the Breakfast House at 4328 w Irving park rd. You enter into what appears to be a bar area, we were met by William who also turned out to be our server. We were then escorted to another area to eat. The restaurant was very clean and modern looking. We received a regular menu with drinks and specials but for the rest of the menu we had to download it to our phones. William was pleasant, personable and friendly. I had an cappuccino which was good size and nice and strong. Glenda had camomile tea. Glenda had the Huevos Rancheros, 2 eggs sunny side up served over corn tortillas with black beans, pepper Jack cheese, avocado and rancheros sauce. The dish was flavorful but in my opinion the ranchero sauce was the bomb. I went with Supreme chorizo hash. House potatoes, corn and red peppers. Served with a pancake. The meal was tasty but kind of busy with the guacamole and sauce added . The pancake was nice and fluffy, wish I had a couple instead of just one. I give this restaurant 4 stars. Try it out and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now. read more

Sorry I don't understand the 5 star reviews. We finally stopped in as we live nearby. Our go-to is Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club and this restaurant doesn't compare. Husband had Southwest omelette, he said how do you call it southwest when it has no flavor. Daughter had burrito which was flavorless and mushy :-( I had the only good (not great) dish, the Paris omelette. The toast can't be called toast-it was not toasty and actually cold and stale. Hubby only got one piece, I got two. And why only one tiny pat of butter? We ordered a side of bacon which came out alone right after we ordered and it looked day old and microwaved. The coffee was good but the best thing we had was the orange juice! read more

Fast, clean and delicious. There's never a wait when we go here on weekends which I appreciate. Kid friendly and very attentive staff. Everything on the menu is great. This is our new weekend brunch spot! Prices are affordable which I'm happy to tip extra for the quick service. Parking is not bad too!!! read more

Worse than fast food. Tuna melt I got tasted sour, cheese was cheap plastic, tomatoes were the pinkest I have ever seen with no flavor, fries were generic and tasted of cheap oil, my girlfriend got the huevos rancheros, beans looked like baby diarrhea, honestly the whole dish did since all the ingredients where thrown all over the plate. Bland, no flavor cheap ingredient's, definitely not worth the $47.77 we paid. Service was ok, outdoor seating was ok too, food just sucked but the orange juice was ok.. read more

Great service and great food! We stopped in for brunch and had lattes, bloody Mary's , omelets, and chicken sandwiches. They were all extraordinary! I'd love to come back. read more

This place has amazing food. I'm glad they survived Covid. Good atmosphere, great staff, and the best chorizo hash you'll ever taste.

The service was attentive. The food was more than enough. My husband had the huevos rancher and I had the steak and eggs the food presentation was on point .. the ambiance was tranquil. Delicious .. read more

We there this morning for Sunday breakfast and inquired about an outside table because the 75 sunny weather couldn't have been prettier. We were PERFECTLY WILLING TO WAIT OUR TURN BUT THE MANAGER INSISTED ON DRAGGING OUT A TABLE FOR TWO TO PLACE IN THE SHADE AWAY FROM THE SIDEWALK PATIO!!!!!! What?! Excellent food, creat Sunday mimosa flavors, incredible service with a smile. In a world where patience EMOTIONAL REACTIVITY isn't controlled and hospitality has become a rarity over instant satisfaction it was a great change of pace. We will be back of course! Thank you for two excellent and creative Benedict's! read more

We were excited to try this new neighborhood breakfast place and our experience was as short-lived as it was terrible. We arrived and immediately put in our name for a table -- the host told us it would be about 10-15 minutes and we were happy to wait. As we were waiting another member of the staff directed us to an empty table. As we got settled and started looking at the menu, the host came over to our table and informed us that there was another table still ahead of us and told us we had to leave the table. She did not offer an apology and handled the situation terribly. The miscommunication was on the part of the staff -- not us. Who does that? FYI: we went down the street to Eggsperience where they had free parking, a way better menu, and a friendly hostess! read more

Love this place right in Old Irving Park! Wonderful egg and chorizo dishes. Have brought relatives and friends here.
