    2 X 2 Pancakes
    annette d.

    We visited on a weekday morning--the server was super friendly and efficient and the breakfast was delicious. I had the Pancakes 2x2 and it was 2 meals for me! Great Caffé Umbria coffee, kept refilled. My partner had a vegetarian burrito, that he enjoyed. The restaurant was spotless and very cute. We'll be back!

    Awesome local breakfast spot. Great casual atmosphere and the food was delicious. We both loved what we got but the chilaquiles were our favorite. Great service. In an out for an easy but delicious weekday breakfast.

    Epitome of Chicago local Diner. Easy seating, great service and amazing food. The French toast was loaded with fresh fruit sweet but not too sugary. Eggs and sausage were perfect. Daughter order a Mexican Breakfast. Very tasty huge portions.

    The food is very good. The beans almost have a bacon like flavor and the rice is fresh. Will definitely come!

    The food is always top notch and so is the service. Jose and Brandy are the best, they only hire the best. The ambience is so peaceful

I've gone to honey butter fried chicken for almost 10 yrs every time I fly to Chicago so when I saw they were opening a sandwich shop I knew I HAD to go there. I buy a flight from Atlanta get there and first day stop in for lunch super excited. The sandwiches are their page are fat and juicy, and all around delicious looking. I ordered the Cuban and the French dip; as well as fries and drinks. There really isn't much inside space so we take the food to leave. And as well get untested to a spot we can stop and eat I open the containers to basically two pressed bread sandwiches. Both the Cuban and French had maybe a 1/3 of the meat they promote on their social media!!!! I mean just literally scraps of meat to what they promote. I thought well maybe the flavor is an explosion. So we dive in just to be hit with bland dry meat bits!! It was so disappointing and as you see in the pictures what we got isn't even comparable to what they show online. The sandwiches were so bad we ended up stopping and grabbing a sandwich at Burger King immediately after. BURGER KING!!! I want to think i expected to much but when you look at the side by side I was robbed. I reached out on social media and they didn't respond. I DID NOT want to write a bad review and actually waited a while before posting because it hurt so bad to do so.

This is one of best sandwiches Ive had in a long time. The pork tenderloin was fried in buttermilk to the perfect crunchy texture w/the interior pork tender & moist. Add the green apple coleslaw for a great crunchy texture, the yellow mustard to add the perfect vinegary flavor & you have an awesome meal. This comes w/fries cooked to an excellent crunchy texture. They have a pretty extensive menu but this sandwich was so dam good I'm sure I will order it again. Yolanda was the server in Falcons. She did an awesome job being the only person working the dining room at the time. Look at this menu selection. There are so many items but you know how it is when you find something that is for me near perfection you know anything else you order will not live up to what you had. You will be left thinking that you had stayed w/the original option. Like they say once you've had the best why try the rest. Maybe after eating it multiple times I will be willing to try something else.

    This little gem is a must try. My personal favorite is the chicken caesar wrap, but I've been happy…read morewith their sandwiches and burgers. They offer a student and teacher discount during the week, but even without it, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The owner-chef, who previously worked for Eatly, also serves a variety of pasta dishes and gelato. They have a rotating soup menu and seasonal specials. During November, you don't want to miss the thanksgiving sandwich. I'm looking forward to finally trying the gelato this summer.
