    Stumbled in here in the morning after seeing an early bird special. $10 for an omelet and sides! It was fairly empty when I arrived, and they ushered me to a small table by the men's restroom. I should have spoken up, but I was a little cold and starving. Other people were allowed to choose their seats, and as my breakfast went I, I started to regret not speaking up. Otherwise, service was decent. I ordered a vegetarian omelet that came with a side of breakfast potatoes and a choice of pancakes or toast. Sadly no waffles, but I selected pancakes. Big picture, the food was good, not mind-blowing. For $10 I'll take it, especially with the generous portions. I saw that the meal would have been $19 without the early-bird discount. Omelet was ok, kind of watery with the vegetables, and slightly bland. I drowned it in ketchup and hot sauce. The ratio of egg to veggies may have contributed to the watery composition. There was spinach, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms, can't go wrong with that mix. Breakfast potatoes were perfectly crisp from start to finish, and nicely presented. Pancakes were good, fluffy, nice sized. Syrup was a little bland, sticky, but not sweet. I probably could have used a second cup for the nice mass of pancakes. The bathroom thing was tough, every time it opened, it let out a waft of cleaning products. It got progressively busier as my meal went on. My bill had some interesting notes, there was a charge for using a credit card, which isn't unreasonable. I probably missed the signs for that. And the tip suggestion was based on the original price of the dish, not the $10, which is how I figured out how much my meal was originally. No worries, I still tipped more than 20%. If I'm around here again, I might stop in for a waffle.

    Great neighborhood place. The chicken and waffles were really good. Since it is a new place , it was packed but the food was great. The severs went above and beyond to make up for the wait. Also, they have great coffee and a nice book by the window, if you're lucky to get it.

    Bacon & Chicken Waffle

    I'm such a fan of brunch and I had to come by here to check out their brunch menu and I was thoroughly surprised. I love how their wide array of waffles ranges from savory to sweet. Right now, they have quite the cute menu offerings for the season, like the Grinch pancakes and mimosas. I tried the Dubai chocolate waffle and it was outstanding. I was also really surprised by the omelette. I got the one with smoked salmon and cream cheese in it and it was also full of capers. There was so much smoked salmon in there. I expected little pieces, but there were big chunks. What was also cool was that the chicken and waffles had bacon baked into the waffle - that was pretty awesome. I definitely feel like this is a solid breakfast or brunch spot but they also have lunch offerings and that is what I will explore the next time I go back! Lol

    We went to the grand opening of this location and were pleasantly surprised with the range of food. Even though we only stuck to waffles, we had savory & sweet & ever waffle fries which we got a laugh out of. Service was good, we came more around lunch so we were seated immediately. The restaurant has tons of cute artwork and decor that's pretty cheeky, we loved it!

    Chicago Waffles where have you been all my life??? We had breakfast at their newest location, 4768 N Lincoln in #Chicago The menu is impressive, there are so many choices, there is definitely something for everyone here. Waffles, pancakes, omelets, skillets, sandwiches, burgers,salads and more! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here it is! Look at the first picture! Look at this plate! Their Waffle Benedict Trio is a true Lumberjack meal. This is both breakfast and lunch combined. The waitress warned me that this was a lot of food and she was right! Great presentation and generosity all in 1 plate! We also had the following: Short Rib Skillet (the meat was nice and tender). Very Berry French Toast, really nice to have some fruit to offset the calories. So many different items to choose from, you could come here for a month and still not repeat. The 4 star rating is because my waffles were burnt. They either pre-made them and re-heated them too much or left them in the waffle maker too long.

    I had such a great experience at Chicago Waffles in Lincoln Square--definitely a 5-star spot. The food was really good, everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were solid too. On top of that, my waiter was super nice and made the whole experience even better by being friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a really enjoyable visit, and I'd definitely go back again.

    My Eggs Your Way

    I wanted to try out one of the new neighborhood restaurants. I was a little surprised to find so many people there on a holiday morning, but good for the restaurant. The inside seating was a bit more packed and full of chatter than my liking, and I was pleased that the weather allowed for outdoor seating. (The outdoor seating almost doubles their capacity. The server, Vlad, allowed me to pick my table- one in the sun. The menu has a bit of a selection to choose from including fun cocktails. I stuck to the basics - meal that included two eggs (I went with scrambled), breakfast potatoes, maple bacon sausage and two pancakes. Service was quick and I appreciated being given the associated condiments without asking. The eggs and breakfast potatoes were better than many breakfast places. The pancakes were also good. The sausages were okay, both savory and sweet, but not something I prefer. I appreciated the servers working as a team to ask me if I needed anything. I would definitely come back and maybe next time get a fun drink.

    Cute spot with great food and amazing service. We came for a birthday brunch today. The food was very good. Super fun menu! Service was spectacular.

    I guarantee that you'll find something on their menu you'll like. I ordered their "Waffle Flight" it consists of four separate waffles Red Velvet, Chocolate Green Tea with strawberries, Bananas, Hazelnut Chocolate, Walnuts and Pistachios, Whipped Cream and extra syrup on the side. I didn't care for the Green Waffle, it was sort of bland the rest were good. Also, they serve Julius Meinl Coffee, exceptional and very fresh. I'll be back to try something new.

    Fried chicken crisps

    I've come across ads for this restaurant recently so I was excited to come here. I tried the chicken and waffles as I thought this woul be a specialty of the restaurant. Food was served in a timely manner, presentation was good but the most important part of it was not. Chicken was tough like it had been fried twice. I thought I was eating pork rinds. Mentioned it to the server and he thanked us for the critique. I felt he could have offered a fresh batch of chicken or a discount. Not sure about coming back. At least not for chicken and waffles

    Good breakfast place. The cleanser smell from the restroom is strong. Be aware of the 2.93% credit card surcharge added.

    What an lovely discovery Sweethearts Bar turned out to be! The Doctor and I were looking for a new…read morehappy hour place to hang, and we came across Sweethearts Bar. The entrance to the bar is located to the left of Lonesome Rose, which gives it a hideaway feel. The décor is lovely and the vibe is cozy and chill. I kind of felt like I was in a Western bar with the big bull head starting down at me. I would say that for parties of 2 to 4, this is a good joint to hang out in, but any larger groups, I did not see a space to accommodate more than 4 people. The night we were there, they had a cool 80s playlist going and that was nice to sit and chair dance while drinking my cava. The Doctor liked the fact that the beer was really cold. And I loved that they had sparkling wine. There is a small section on the menu for food: chips/salsa, Chile con queso, guacamole, Heartbreaker Burger (Chorizo Smash Patty, Grilled Onion, Cilantro, Chile Con Queso, Pickled Jalapeno, Shredded Lettuce, Jalapeno Ranch, Sesame Seed Bun) and Truck Stop Nachos. I got the Truck Stop Nachos (Black Beans, Queso, Pickled Red Onions, Pickled Peppers, Tomato, Crema). You have the option to add Picadillo Beef, Chorizo, or Carne Asada as protein. But you also have the option to have it vegan. I went with steak. Overall this was a nice snack but would have liked a little more steak added to it. I am not sure if you can order from the menu of Lonesome Rose, but the next time we go, I will ask about that. And I have to remember not to call Lonesome Rose, Lonesome Dove (the novel and mini-series). The selection of cocktails is decent, and it is nice that they have non-alcoholic beverages as well. For those that like hard seltzers, they have those as well as a "Toke Cosmic Berry", which is a THC seltzer. Service was nice, the bartender was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation of happy hour places.

The ambiance is really nice without feeling too "stuffy". Bar was gorgeous and service was friendly and helpful, allowing my boyfriend to sample some wines before going in on some bottles. Prices were what you'd expect for a trendy natural wine bar. The complimentary corn nuts in the antique dish were a cute touch. The charcuterie board with mixed meat and cheese was really small though. Only three pieces of cheese for five people... it made it feel like an awkward fight over who'd get to try some. The gluten free crackers were appreciated though. We ended up ordering more food including the "party tray" which I would describe more as charcuterie nachos. We didn't really know what to expect with this one so we got the canned mussels but it really would've tasted better with the prosciutto instead. It included a whipped cheese, olives, and cornichons piled onto potato chips. Less of a tray and more of a nacho-style dish. If we return next time we're in town, I'd skip the food and focus more on the wine. Beyond that, it was a fun time!

The absinthe mist, despite being just that, has a way of doing that. I want to give some credit to the service. While the bar was shorthanded at the time, the barman on duty did his very best as a one-man show. Can't fault them too much, someone calls out sick last minute, and that's that. However, if there is something I can hold against them it's the heat! I'm not sure why, but the upon coming in, the place was HOT! After settling in, it became more bearable, but this is the kind of thing that sometimes persuades me to leave before I order anything.
