I have been coming to Brothers for breakfast once a week for a little over a year now. This is a fantastic family owned/operated business that really makes you feel at home. Don't let the classic diner interior fool you, it's consistently some of the best service in Chicago! Beyond that, the food is fantastic. I typically stick with a classic combo breakfast, but every once in a while, I am compressed to try one of their amazing specials. Which brings me to why I am writing this review... my favorite breakfast of all times is chilaquiles. I walked in this morning to find that the special is Birria Chilaquiles. PLEASE come here and order them, so they can stay on the menu permanently! P.S. bring cash for your servers! read more

Absolutely no wait time at 8:30am on a Friday! I customized my Denver skillet to remove the peppers and add avocado to which came out to be extremely delicious with the cheesy fluffy eggs. read more

This is a great locally owned restaurant. The portions were massive and the quality was amazing too. The Brothers (Karina and Ernesto ) were also amazing. We highly recommend this place if you want to eat fresh and delicious meals. The coffee was also amazing. Support your local businesses. read more

I was just there this morning to support my local small business community. My server was so friendly and kind. Business may be a little slower because of ICE activity in nearby neighborhoods. My breakfast was excellent and I even got my last coffee to go. The atmosphere and vibe is friendly and warm. Service is fast. I can't wait to come back again. Let's go!!! read more

It's ironic that the restaurant is named Brothers, because they make you feel like family! I absolutely love a cute breakfast spot with a diner ambiance, plus a huge menu and just overall incredible food. I can't stop ordering the Basil Skillet and their Banana Bread French Toast. I'll be back to this spot over and over again to be sure! It never misses and the value and quality is top tier. read more

Brothers Restaurant - Skillet and pumpkin pancakes and banana bread french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice little diner to come to for breakfast but a little on the overpriced end. But considering the economy nowadays, what isn't overpriced?! Went with the hubby one morning after dropping off the kiddos for school. Hubby got the Fiesta Omelette and I got the combination plate. Hubby got some soup and a pop, and I had a cup of coffee. Total with tip was about $60. Food was really good and fresh, so no complaints from me. It's a neighborhood diner so it's not really busy and the service was fast and friendly. They had a nice variety on the menu and not just breakfast items, but lunch and dinner as well. Small and quaint place but big enough to fit parties of 4-5 people comfortably. read more

Brothers is a cozy bfast joint with a huge menu. We ordered an omelet, a skillet, and cappuccinos . The food was great, but I wish the hashbrowns were more crispy! The cappuccinos were fine, they're the regular machine cappuccinos. Service was fast and everyone was super friendly! read more

First time ordering from here. We live in the area and prefer to support local businesses. The Avocado Toast was good as was the Delight Chicken Breast. The combination plate of eggs, meat, hash browns and French Toast was ordinary. Extremely disappointed and very unhappy with the Nutella Style Pancake Combo at $21.25. Regular Pancake order is $14.00 - so for $7.25 more there were 8 small pieces of strawberries and 5 blueberries (asked for the substitution because of banana allergy) with just a minimal crosshatch of Nutella. Definitely a rip-off. Will not order again. read more

I was craving a hearty breakfast to wrap up my Chicago Marathon celebration weekend and happened to stumble upon this spot on my way to the train. The service stood out right away--the hostess noticed me walking up and held the door open, which isn't something you typically expect from a small neighborhood diner. The menu had plenty of tempting options, but the Nutella Style Pancakes felt like the perfect celebratory choice--and they absolutely delivered in both flavor and presentation. Even with about eight other patrons dining, service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The staff congratulated me on finishing the marathon, which was a thoughtful touch, and once again held the door for me as I left. A great experience all around and a memorable way to end the weekend. read more

Brothers Restaurant - Nutella Style Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We were visiting Chicago for a friends birthday and decided to try this restaurant since we were staying in the Airbnb located above it. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The chicken served with the chicken and waffles appeared to have been previously frozen, the exposed white meat of the chicken was brown. The panini was also subpar--dry and overcooked, with an extremely thin, pale tomato that looked frozen and thawed. Even the cheese was not melted, which is unusual for a grilled panini. Considering the quality, the food was overpriced. We genuinely had better food at a Chicago Cubs game. Additionally, although we were promised a dining discount as Airbnb guests, the restaurant refused to honor it. While the space itself is somewhat charming, the food quality does not match the price point. read more

Super casual diner. Big menu. Very friendly service! The food is hit or miss. Something's are good but when it isn't it really isn't. Kinda pricey for the quality. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but if you're nearby give it a try! Street parking can be hard certain times of day. read more

Really great food, and friendly and efficient staff. Extensive and varied menu. A neighborhood gem!

My family stopped here for lunch today because it was close to ClimbZone, which my 4-year-old daughter wanted to visit for her birthday. Our waitress overheard us talking and realized it was our little gal's birthday, and within a minute she brought out a bowl of ice cream topped with a candle. The whole restaurant joined in singing Happy Birthday to her. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone there for making our daughter feel extra special on her big day. read more

Passed this place up several times until it caught our attention last night. We thought we needed to try it and we did today for breakfast. Hands down perfectly executed breakfast! It's a cute place, clean all around, including the rest rooms. Friendly staff and fabulous service. We had the sweet apple French toast . French toast with apple cinnamon and a light not too sweet caramel sauce that complimented the dish. Topped with whipped cream too. Coffee is Julius Meinl and AMAZING. I can drink that coffee black without anything. Delicious. I also had a latter that was beautifully made and delicious. Cajun scramble with andouille sausage and veggies. Creamy, perfect cheese ratio, perfect sausage to veggie and egg ratio. Those scrambles were fluffy!!! I will definitely, most definitely be back here and it will be my new neighborhood breakfast place from here on in! Service was wonderful and sweet staff. read more

Solid spot for breakfast. Excellent eggs Benedict. Good coffee. OJ too. There are also skillets and a breakfast burrito. read more

The place - a neighborhood joint. No frills. Solid service. Seats maybe 25-30. We walked 2 blocks on a day when it was 5 degrees, and boy did it do a good job of warming us up. The taste - something for everyone, and sizable portions. We've ordered several omelettes, tried the pumpkin pancakes, and most recently we got a Benedict and a tuna sandwich. We usually have leftovers and really enjoy digging into them again. My partner also orders salads from here for lunch often and they last two meals. My face - smiling to have found such a great brunch place a 5 minute walk from our place. We've been probably a dozen times. Bill for two, usually with coffee and tomato juice comes to between $45 and $65 bucks (with tip). Keep in mind though, you'll usually get another meal or partial meal out of it. Enjoy! read more

The food was amazing and our servers Guadalupe and Marlene were exceptional! We will definitely be back.

If you're looking for a breakfast experience that's familiar yet exciting, this is the place to go. Classic American breakfast with a Mexican twist. Generous portions with Instagram worthy presentation. Attentive service; waitress spoke to me in English and made my mom comfortable speaking to her in Spanish. Casual atmosphere, easy to have a conversation. read more

This was one of the best breakfasts I've had recently. The hash browns didn't need additional seasoning and the sausages were excellent. The pancakes smelled like actual cake when I opened the container. It was heaven! I took away a star because the bacon could've been cooked longer and the hot chocolate was watered down. But I would definitely order the same meal again! read more

I've walked by this restaurant hundreds of times, but always when it was closed. However, after a hellatious Lyft ride, I cut it short and walked into this cozy spot. I was craving a BLT and to say I was satisfied would be an understatement. It was big on size and taste, and I had plenty left for a generous lunch the next day. My server was very friendly and attentive as was the chef who recommended the chicken salad club for the next time I stop by. Although delivery is available, I'll walk the few blocks in sub-zero weather for the warm ambiance. Like the food, it's well worth it. read more
