    Bottom of the burrito is super soggy, a great use of my $15

    great if you want your to go breakfast burrito to be wet with fruit juice by the time you get it home why would they do this?

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich - except that I ordered a Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Krista W.

    They're perfectly nice here. But I'd like to get the food I ordered? Got a grilled chicken sandwich but I ordered a Chicken Salad Sandwich and they didn't tell me. It's a perfectly fine dry sandwich but has no condiments, and they didn't tell me? I would just order something else a lot less boring

    Impossible burger and sweet potato fries. Wow!! So good!!
    Siobhan D.

    I really, really want a place like Brett's Kitchen in my neighborhood!! It's warm, friendly, tidy, and welcoming. Bright colors, cool decor, open grill, and loads of healthy and vegetarian options for breakfast and lunch. And cans of cold Diet Coke, mmmmmm! My Impossible Burger and sweet potato fries are fantastic. Best meal all week! No wait to be seated, even at noon on a work day, and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Friendly staff. Loved this place!

    Love this gem! Great diner nestled in design driven area of Chicago. Very good, clean, healthy food options. Vegetarian friendly. Very tasty! Friendly employees!

    Got the Mediterranean Chicken with Tabouli (but with portobello) , so good!
    Emily Z.

    Cute place, fresh food, little sidewalk patio. What's not to love! Not a lot around like it in the area so it's a great spot to grab a sandwich. I subbed portobello in my Mediterranean chicken sandwich, really good!

    Egg shell in the chicken noodle soup.

    Food: 1 Service: 3 Cleanliness: 1 My 3rd time here just because of its proximity to the office and only 1 time has it been good and edible - to go. Service isn't super friendly as well.. either stern or emotionless. The 1st visit I got the chicken salad sandwich and open up to see a fruit fly having a grand time in the lettuce. The 2nd visit was bc a friend stopped by and wanted something simple. He got the soup of the day and one of their bread pastries, ok! The most recent visit... I got the basics of all, grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup. Grilled cheese was nothing special. 2 piece bread and layer of melted cheddar cheese, okay. Can't go wrong with that. A couple bites into my chicken noodle soup I find an egg shell. An. Egg. Shell. Why the heck would there be an egg shell?! Clearly it's either by the disposable or they're just careless when making their sandwiches and soups. Ugh. Would I return? I tried. Never again.

    Saw fruit flies inside the pastry display.

    One of Chicago's most renowned Italian Beef Sandwiches, originating in 1938. A special trip to try…read moreit, and it was truly satisfying. Regular Combo: A combination of beef and sausage. The meat portion was very generous; the beef was thinly sliced ​​but juicy and not dry or hard at all; the sausage had a rich smoky flavor, not too salty, and tastes a lot like Harbin red sausage. Al's Classic Hand-Cut Fries: They were piping hot when I received them, so touching! I couldn't taste the hand-cut texture, but there was a spice powder similar to salt and pepper, and the flavor was quite good.

    3-ish stars rounded up. The roast beef was a little on the dry-stringy side but the bread was…read morespongy-soft (absorbed the beef drippings so well!). Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

Ordering is straight forward with lots of customizations. Picking up your food is a bit hectic as there is a main pick up counter and a separate area for pick up if they are swamped. It'll be announced on the speakers. Took close to an hour for our order to be called, customers crowd the pick up counter even though they just ordered so be prepared to squeeze past people to get your food. Tables are also taken up by customers waiting for their group to grab their food. Seating is on both levels and outside so it's somewhat plentiful but expect some issues if you go at a peak time. As for the food we got the Italian beef, Chicago hotdog, fries, chocolate cake, and the cake shake. The Italian beef is amazing! Would recommend getting that along with extra peppers! The peppers really bring it all together. The Chicago dog was alright, it is good, fresh, and different from your normal hotdog. Fries were fries, they accommodated the meal well but wasn't anything outstanding. Our uber driver recommended the chocolate cake and the shake. I would say the cake is just average, it was a little under 'moist' status and the fudge icing is a little too sweet but maybe that's just how you would picture chocolate cake. The cake shake is the better version of it, mixed with their chocolate shake it felt nicer to suck it up through a straw. If you sign up for their rewards you'll get the cake for $1 Overall not a bad experience, they are opening a new location by the river in downtown so that might help with wait times. Highly recommend that Italian beef!!

    Great lunch/breakfast spot with fast service and simple/fresh sandwiches…read more The oven roasted turkey sandwich was great, tasted like something my grandma would make me (in a good way). Will be back.

    I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
