In my opinion the breakfast house is a staple of Lakeview. From the classic farm house decor to the familial vibe of the staff it feels very comfortable and cozy for weekend brunch/breakfast. We usually get the chorizo hash and a Benedict and split it. They have great coffee as well. This place is not just quintessential and "trendy" this place has actually great food which I feel like is hard to find some times. We often go to a place for a vibe but sacrifice qualify of food and I think breakfast house hits the mark in both cases. 100% would bring those from out of town here just for an overall great experience. read more

Delicious eggs Benedict (the BLT, leaving out the avocado). Well cooked and seasoned breakfast potatoes. Service was fast and attentive. My only suggestions are (1) turn up the heat in the room; and (2) the potatoes could have been served a little hotter. But these are minor quibbles. Overall a wonderful breakfast experience! read more

Great neighborhood brunch spot. The House Hash is always fresh and tasty. Big winner for me is the underrated Fried Chicken, honestly some of the best in the city. read more

I was in the mood for a Thursday brunch and in the area so decided to give Breakfast House a try. They have outdoor tents set up along Wellington, with a heater. Yesterday was sunny but quite windy out, so the tent sides were flapping about and letting in plenty of air circulation. They have the QR code menu on each table and bring silverware that's individually packaged in plastic. The menu has tons of options, but I'm always drawn to a handful of items: hashes, chilaquiles, and huevos rancheros. Lucky for me, all 3 items are on the menu AND there are 2 hash options. We started with 2 coffees, which were very necessary to keep us warm. For brunch we ordered the Supreme Chorizo Hash with a side of toast and Chilaquiles to share. Portions are big and so filling! Loved the chipotle aioli on the hash, and the crispy not greasy tortillas in the chilaquiles. I think some fresh jalapeños and more cilantro would have been a nice add, but not everyone is about that heat or cilantro taste. Looking forward for indoor dining to resume because I'll happily enjoy more brunch favorites here! read more

Hostess & staff were nice. Noisy place. Egg White Frittata was good, Pancakes were also good but could've been hotter. Chilaquiles was disappointing and not worth $14. It too should've been served hot, chorizo was overcook and dry, barely any eggs and sauce wasn't authentic. read more

Food here is delicious!! Order the chorizo hash!! The passion fruit mimosa tasted so good. We sat outside in the covered tent and it was perfect weather to be outside. Service is fast and friendly.

Such a great place for....breakfast! Were you surprised? I hear they're also great at brunch, although that's not their namesake. Everything at our recent weekday visit was perfect: the staff is awesome, and their sidewalk seating is cozy and comfy and you don't even realize you're just off busy Ashland Ave. But the star of our visit was the food. Everything was delicious! And lastly they seem to be taking great Covid precautions. Will certainly be back. Plus I hear they are adding another location in Lakeview near the Sheridan El stop. Bonus! read more

The house hash was pretty good- better than it looks! The egg was a little more cooked than I would have liked. I like mine a little runny, but this one was almost thoroughly cooked. The sauce was to die for. It really made the flavors meld together. The chorizo hash was equally as good! NOW FOR THE SIDES - I forgot to take a picture, but the pancake was the best pancake I've ever had. PERIOD. I would have had 3 of those pancakes instead of the hash. It was fluffy and not too sweet. Paired with their maple syrup, I would definitely come back. read more

A wonderful place to go when visiting Chicago - service is friendly and food is served fresh. Had the salmon eggs benedict - wonderful!

Fast paced, Poppin, 'n bussin'. They move quick in this honey, and rustic environment. Exposed brick walls and a wooden outdoor patio, pet friendly, for those pleasant summer mornings. Came here during a Saturday in the fall with my wife and we were fortunate enough to get a seat quickly. The host jokingly said it would be a 45 minute wait but shortly led us to a table. Service is friendly and despite being busy they checked up on us often. Music reminded us of our wedding on the beaches of Mexico. Food was great. We recommend the chorizo hash. Come check them out if you're in the area. Street parking only. read more

I walk past this breakfast place all the time and finally had the chance to try it recently - I will definitely be back! The service was great - very friendly and they were able to seat us right away despite being busy. They have a great variety of food and drink options. I ordered the chef special grilled cheese breakfast sandwich and my partner got the breakfast burrito - both were delicious and good portions. The house potatoes are amazing! The ambiance was bright and sunny, with outdoor seating available for warmer months. Definitely give Breakfast House a try! read more

Great breakfast place in the lake view area. I had been to one of their other locations and menu appeared the same. While this restaurant was jammed packed with a crowd , their efficient waiting list system made it a no stress way to wait. Once you put in your name you are texted a link that allows you to see exactly where you are in comparison to others. They also text you when your table is ready which is great ( I took a short walk with a friend while waiting ). Service is good, food is excellent. I stuck with my typical order of an egg white frittata with veggies and feta and it was great. My friend loved her vanilla waffle with fresh fruit on top. If you are looking for a breakfast or brunch spot in the area this is an excellent choice. read more

Breakfast House - Frittata with feta and veggies- great - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to the other location and they don't have the chilaquiles. I will forever be a customer at this lakeview location solely bc of the chilaquiles, they're my absolute favorite bfast dish in the city. I get the chilaquiles without chorizo and they are amazing. I tend to eat quite slow, but somehow these chips never get soggy and stay super crunchy. Ugh the flavas in this dish are just so perfect. I love it too much. The yogurt parfait was fresh and tasty, however too much apple I think? The frittata was also fresh and tasty. Coffee and freshly squeezed oj are excellent (they serve intelligentsia coffee) and service is always good. Oh yeah they also have pretty ample outdoor seating, I usually don't enjoy eating al fresco, but I've eating outside here several times, it's lovely! Parking in this neighborhood is never an issue. read more

Breakfast House is one of those places you can't not like. If for nothing else, the menu is stacked with amazing choices that deliver on taste and portion size. We had an earlier breakfast on a Sunday morning and were able to be seated immediately. The host is a kind, older gentleman who seems pleased people are coming to eat. The same goes for the wait staff, friendly and inviting. We honestly had a tough time deciding on what to have because the menu covers all the bases and so many things sound delicious. Ultimately we had to choose so we went with omelets (pretty standard, but good), a yogurt parfait (DELICIOUS!), eggs and pancakes (standard, good), chilaquiles (yum!), and the chicken sandwich (wow!). The only hiccup was the food delivery, it came out a few plates at a time and caused only a tiny bit of awkward waiting for our table of six. After digging in we were checked on often and never went without anything that we needed. We also never felt like we were being rushed out the door (despite it getting BUSY by the time we left). All that and the price-per-portion size gave us a feeling of having received great value! We chose Breakfast House on a recommendation (and a bit of a whim) and were very pleased with the whole experience. I will certainly remember this spot for the future, if in the area again. read more

Absolutely delicious. Great service. No long wait bc they are super fast. Extensive menu. We had a hard time choosing but couldn't have been happier with our choices. We'll be back. read more

Breakfast House - Nachos with egg, chorizo hash and guacamole! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We parked around the corner on a neighborhood street. We didn't realize we could have parked across the street in the Jewel parking lot. FYI We were greeted so nicely - like an old friend! We ordered - tuna melt with fruit, salmon patty salad, blt with fruit, and a tuna sandwich with fries. The tuna melt is served open and my son ate every bite and the fruit was fresh and a decent portion size. The blt sandwich was good only it was served with fries instead of fruit. They apologized and brought the fruit. The tuna sandwich was also good and the fries were good and crunchy. The fries were served hot Too! The salmon patty salad was a good portion. The salmon patties had a good amount of salmon in them - like my grandmother used to make. Loved every bite!! Next time in Chicago - GO TO BREAKFAST HOUSE!! read more

I loved this restaurant! We initially planned to go to Batter & Berries, but their wait was an hour. Breakfast House was close by and had good yelp reviews, so we decided to try it. So glad we did! Street parking was free - which is always a plus. We parked right next to the restaurant. We were seated immediately-no wait time...another plus. Service and food were EXCELLENT! I ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon and orange juice. DELICIOUS! read more

Couldn't ask for anything more from breakfast takeout on a freezing cold Chicago Christmas Eve. Perhaps my favorite brunch spot in the area is Ovo Frito in Evanston, and Breakfast House has immediately moved right beside it. Everything is cooked and seasoned perfectly, delicious, homemade, layers of flavor. I was equally impressed with the packaging. Brunch isn't always something that travels well, but our meal was as good as if we had it in the restaurant: the eggs were perfect, the potatoes had a nice crunch on the outside, and the pancake was nice and fluffy. I will definitely be back! read more

Service and mimosas were on point. Love the small feel of the dinning area. It was a comforting feel. The French toast was perfect.

Visited the Breakfast House and had the best experience! We were able to get a table on the patio and I have to say out of all the restaurants we have been to, this was the most socially distanced we have had. The tables are basically sectioned out to themselves and you have ample breathing room. On top of the much appreciated COVID restrictions, the service and food was great! I ordered their special "Veggie Chorizo Hash" and it was AMAZING! It was a lot of food, and I surprisingly cleaned my plate because I couldn't stop enjoying it. And the mimosa was delicious too! We can't wait to come back again, or visit other locations. Highly recommend! PS - they have bike parking right in front of the restaurant! read more

My first time ever at Breakfast House and my first time back to a patio since COVID19 happenings. This was much needed and such a great experience! Everyone working today was so friendly and accommodating. Everything was done wonderfully-spaced out seating and everyone wearing mask and gloves. I had a lovely time sitting and finally having a bit of time to relax. And the food was delicious! I had to get a horchata and the salmon cake eggs benedict. I loved the horchata because it is soy based and also not overly sweet. I didn't feel like I was going to crash from a sugar bomb. Also the benedict was very tasty and the salmon cakes and potatoes were seasoned perfectly! I finished with a cranberry mimosa (so many flavors to choose from!). My partner had the breakfast burrito and he said it was tasty as well! Prices are very reasonable, as well. I will totally be back here. Such a great experience-much needed for sure! read more

Wow this was the best brunch I've had in a long time!! The chorizo hash was literally the best chorizo hash I've ever had and I usually always get chorizo hash at a brunch place if it's on the menu. There are crispy bits of chorizo and corn that really make it stand out and sooooo yummy! We also got the corn cakes which were really good but not sure why it came with ham pieces. It seemed kind of random. The chilaquiles were good/above average but not super memorable. I also like that there's the option to get a side of pancakes for free with any meal instead of toast. The pancakes were really fluffy and they have their own branded maple syrup here. read more

Stopped by on a busy Saturday morning (Saturday after Thanksgiving), but surprisingly the wait wasn't too terrible. We joined the Yelp Waitlist online and only stood in line for about 5-10 minutes before being seated by the host. We ordered our food and unfortunately I think they forgot about our table since the place was chaotic. Our server was very kind and offered us a complimentary plate of fresh cut fruit. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced (ordered the classic 2 eggs and bacon, which came with potatoes and pancakes (or fresh fruit or fresh tomatoes and a side of toast or pancakes). The maple syrup was really tasty (organic from a farm in Michigan). The menu itself had your typical breakfast items that you would expect anywhere. I didn't see anything that jump out at me that you couldn't get anywhere else. They are not a BYOB establishment. They have their liquor license and have a cocktails available to order. Parking was not available on the premise, but there's a parking lot across the street in the plaza that the restaurant seems to endorse for customers to park in. read more

Love this family owned breakfast spot in my neighborhood! Great service, reliably good and interesting food. Good salads!

Pretty crowded on a rainy Saturday morning. I got the egg white frittata with pancakes, side of corn cake (just had to try it after all the good reviews on here), and a bloody mary. The bf got an egg white omelet with various veggies and pepperjack cheese with breakfast potatoes. Egg white frittata: not really a traditional frittata, more like an egg white patty with spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese sprinkled on top. Still good though. Pancakes: wow these were delightful. Light, fluffy, perfectly cooked, with real maple syrup. Corn cake (3.25 for a single cake): interesting - you can taste the granular corn meal texture (what I love about cornbread) accented by some real pieces of corn. I agree with previous reviewers - the red sauce is delectable. Not sure it's worth over $3 for a single piece but ok if you just wanted to try it Bloody mary ($10): solid, could be more spicy though Overall a solid meal, fast service, fair prices. read more

Came here on a rainy Saturday morning around 11. Parking is residential streets but we didn't have any trouble finding a spot within a block or 2. When we walked in it was a bit chaotic. There were multiple people waiting to check in and there were several employees standing at the host desk trying to get things in order. We ended up having to wait a couple minutes to be seated, but nothing crazy. If it was more organized, r probably wouldn't have had to wait. Once seated, we were served quickly and all was going well. However, our food took AN HOUR to come out. There were people that came in after us finishing their meals and we hadn't seen ours. Our waiter also eventually noticed this, and apologized and brought us some fruit while we waited. After this, our food showed up 5 minutes. I ordered the chorizo hash, and it was really good!! It's a tasty combination of flavors. I also had some of my girlfriend's pancakes, and the syrup is especially great! Honestly for the modest price this is one of the better breakfast places in this area - I would have given 5 stars if not for the disorganization and extreme food wait time. I will return, but only on a day where I'm definitely not in a hurry. read more
