My first time visiting Chicago, and I had to give this place a try. Tasty food, large portions, excellent service. Music was a little loud, but we got used to it. Servers were friendly and attentive, and the owner even stopped by our table. I ordered a Florentine benedict and a side of the thickest bacon I have ever encountered. Quite good. If you want a pitcher of mimosas, they do one step better with mimosa towers (sangria towers also available.) A couple of birthdays were being celebrated too. Overall a great experience within walking distance of our hotel. read more

Went like a week before they closed. I am excited to see where they move to as a new location is why they closed. They had reservations for large parties which was nice. The food was decently priced and had good options for fancier breakfast or just something basic. Was a little loud but they did have touchtunes!!! read more

TLDR: my pancake was not good. So I wanted to try this place out because it looked cute and was a relatively new brunch place. Ambiance was very cute as expected and I took a seat at the bar. I ordered the waffle hashbrowns and the lemon ricotta. Everyone was nice and food came out in a reasonable time. The food itself was not very good. The hashbrown waffle was good but under seasoned. Now the lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes were just bad. There was a bitterness to them that was not lemon that tasted like it was burnt. Not a pleasant experience. I did not finish them and ended up going to Quiznos across the street because I was still hungry. Overall would not recommend but it is cute. read more

Had brunch here on New Year's Day and really enjoyed it. I had the chicken chilaquiles which were delicious. Members of my group also tried the banana fosters French toast and enjoyed it. Overall, the menu was well-priced for the area. My only complaint was that the management did not enforce turning over tables well. We had a reservation for a party of seven and had to wait an additional half hour past our slated time because the hostess said that there were two large tables who had been there for over three hours. While not her fault, I feel a manager should have stepped in to keep business moving on one of the busiest days for dining out, especially considering there is very limited room inside to wait for a table. We were also not the only large party waiting for our reservation. read more

Came here today on a whim because I was wandering and I realized I need to go to more places randomly. No way around it - wild vibe inside. Even when you're looking in from outside. Once you enter, you begin to understand and appreciate the disco pancake vibe for what it is. IDK if I'm remembering accurately but I feel like there's a big disco ball hanging somewhere and this sparkly tree but you cannot let that distract you from the fact that everybody in here is in a good mood. From the patrons to the team, everybody is having a sick time at Disco Pancake. César was my guy. Can do nothing but applaud his outstanding service. Attentive, personable and kind. The service was so great I promised I would come back with my full squad on a Saturday/Sunday sometime soon. I will deliver. I ordered the eggs benedict which I found to be really good. Coffee was great. I did indulge in a bloody mary and César gave me the option for the spicy one; I accepted. It was the move. Idk I had a great time here and like I said will be back very soon and I will bring the entire squad and we might stay there all day read more

It is a fun place to go out for brunch! Friendly staff and a wide variety of food and dishes to choose from! It was a fun and lively atmosphere! I got the chicken and waffles! It was delicious and the syrup has a sweet and spicy kick to it, loved it! The only major downside was the cream for my coffee was curdled and ruined my cup of coffee. I was able to get some more cream, but the oversight the first time was not pleasant. read more

We ordered an omelette with bacon. The omelette was dry and not very tasty. The potatoes that came with it, ditto. We had much better for less $$$ at a pizza restaurant yesterday. ( Yes - breakfast at. a Pizza place). The Coke I ordered to go was a Pepsi (okayed by me), but was $4 for a small cup. I would not go back to the cutely decorated and named Disco Pancake because despite all the 'cute', I came for the food. $31 for a bad breakfast (tip included) heck no! Never again. read more

Let me start by saying this: just because I had a bad experience doesn't mean you will too. Now, onto the review. For a place called Disco Pancakes, the fact that they don't offer a single main dish that includes pancakes as a side feels like a seriously missed opportunity. You can't even order one pancake à la carte which would at least make sense from a menu-design standpoint but no, that option doesn't exist either. I understand not every restaurant gets to design the perfect menu, but that's not even the real issue here. The real issue is this: how do you call yourself Disco Pancakes and still manage to serve pancakes that bad? Honestly, it's impressive in the worst way. We ordered two stacks originally. Both came out completely undercooked gooey in the center. We sent one back to be cooked longer and tried to eat part of the undercooked one just to see if maybe that was their "style." Remember when I said it was impressive? What's even more impressive is how bland and forgettable the pancakes were. No flavor, no personality, no soul. They tasted like pancakes made by someone who showed up to the disco wearing all black and refused to dance just standing in the corner, easily forgotten. read more

Upscale greasy spoon. Upscale due to prices and greasy spoon because I found a hair in my pancakes. Now, the bussing and support staff; top notch. Food was underwhelming to be honest. Coffee was okay. Cream served in am espresso cup; made pouring messy. Spoons weren't offered or in the set of rolled silverware. Will not be returning. read more

This is my new favorite brunch spot! We happened across Disco Pancake on a whim planning for brunch on a Sunday and found our new favorite place! I ordered the bananas foster French toast - super caramel saucy and banana goodness! I also got a side of crispy bacon and it was impeccably crispy and delicious. My partner got chilaquiles - chips piled high with scrambled eggs, chicken, avocado, salsa, cheese, beans, and more. It was incredible. I also got a coffee and was pleasantly surprised to learn they make iced vanilla oatmilk lattes - my go to! Service was speedy and smiling, especially the hostess who had the fun energy of someone welcoming you to a party! And the cafe itself is beautifully dressed up with disco balls everywhere including a tree! Great people watching from the windows on the corner too. I loved the sign on the way out - thanks for becoming a regular! If I wasn't a tourist I would be your favorite regular! read more

Step 1, grab your bestie/significant other/stranger off the street..literally anyone you can share two entrees with. Next, you're going to get the Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes (thank me later) and you're also going to get the avocado toast. Finish your order off with an order of the hash browns and prepare to be mindblown. We went on a Sunday @ 1:15, not busy at all. We sat inside and the atmosphere was iconic, and they have an outdoor patio! Our food came out in less than 10 minutes & we could not believe how good it was. We washed it down with bloody mary's. Yum. Delish, great service, i WILL be back! read more

Disco Pancake - Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Boogied on down to the Disco Pancake for a groovy brunch with my family. The decor and ambiance inside was so fun and full of disco balls and great vibes. They also have an out door patio. It wasn't super busy for a Sunday mid-morning so we were seated right away inside. The service was fast in the beginning and the food came out fast but then our waitress didn't check back until the end of the meal which was a little lacking. We enjoyed the avocado toast, a byo omelet, ricotta lemon blueberry pancakes, belgian waffles, and waffle hashbrowns and bacon on the side. All was very good. The pancakes were almost overloaded with the lemon-blueberry topping and I had to ask a bus boy for some syrup, but it still satisfied my sweet tooth. I am surprised that with a name like Disco Pancake that there weren't more pancakes on the menu, but the ones we had were very tasty and loaded with toppings. The side of bacon was nice and thick but was oddly 2 pieces cut in half to appear as 4. What stole the show was the waffle hashbrown - hashbrowns seasoned to perfection and cooked on a waffle iron to create a deliciously crispy delight. Might be the best hashbrowns in the city! We disco-vered a new good spot in River North for a tasty meal and something on the menu for whatever makes you groove! read more

This seems like a fun spot for brunch! I came here after a morning workout class with a friend. Their Crispy Pistachio French Toast was delicious. Our server was helpful when we were making our decisions. Their other Disco Stacks (brunch dishes) seem to have unique flavors. The decor is fun. This seems like a place that you can have both a chill brunch or a boozy brunch. The location is great too! read more

No, plain no. Worst meal I've had in a long time. 4-5 tables filled in the entire place and they sat me by the kitchen. Had to wait for service. Asked if potatoes came with the eggs benedict, yes. No, it was an extra charge. Don't bother, they don't... read more

What an incredible experience! I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was done PERFECTLY! We had Caesar as our server and he was just as good as the food! We also loved the fact that you can pick your own music. read more

First time at the newly rebranded Dicso Pancake. Let me start with praising the delightful service from Ericka. She is one of the best, most thorough servers I've ever encountered. Her attention to detail and positive attitude were the highlight of our meal. We will return because of her! The food was also tasty. We tried a shared plate of lemon blueberry pancakes. These are yummy. Though we didn't catch any lemon flavor the blueberries were fresh and plentiful. They serve with a tiny amount of syrup so you'll need more. I ordered the Florentine Benedict which was on point. I went with hash browns that were crispy and delicious (look like mini waffles.) I don't drink coffee but my friends said the small opening for your hand in the coffee cups was a problem for them. Skip the Bloody Mary, it tasted like cold, not quite smooth, tomato soup. What a fun vibe! Strobe lights, neon signs, festive decor and jamming (sometimes a bit too much base) music. Cute outdoor seating area and a bar counter which is cool for solo diners. Right now there isn't a wait but I bet there will be soon. Don't delay! Ask for Ericka! read more

Disco Pancake - Florentine Benedict! Crispy, crunchy hashbrowns. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Late night AND brunch, love both. On Friday stopped in for drinks and our bartender David was super conversational and made our drinks well. Decided to go back on Saturday for brunch and the Host Candice(sp) was so nice and profession... Now don't get me wrong, it was a bit of a wait for our brunch, but the food was worth the wait. I had the Waffle burger, which in my opinion was more like a skillet-like dish, but seasoned really well. The menu said it was to be served with a sunny side up egg, but I decided to get mine scrambled. The music was at a level you can hear and still have a good conversation. Definitely picture opps there too. read more

First off, Erica was our server and she did not disappoint. That was the best service I've had in quite some time and absolutely will be back again. The food was great too. I ordered a Disco Benny and breakfast potatoes. More drinks would be a nice offering but other than that, I was very excited to try. Disco Pancake did not disappoint. I liked the decor personally and enjoyed my experience there. read more

The food was good! They were really busy so we had about a 35 minute wait. It went by fast for us, we meandered and they just texted us when it was ready. We waited I would say over 10 minutes to be greeted once we were sat. We went through almost 2 water pitchers and the people behind us received their food when we were sat and done eating by the time we were greeted. Our food was behind about 4-5 tables so it took a little bit but it was good! We had the biscuits and gravy, my over easy eggs were slightly underdone and slimy. Two eggs & very thick crispy bacon (yum!), and a benny for the birthday girl. they came out with an awesome birthday dessert which i think made it all worth while! great selection of cocktails on this menu. beware of pricing, $5 for one egg or $10 for (two eggs) 2 eggs, toast, and potatoes. read more

First of all, crazy overpriced for what they serve. I ordered the Death By Chocolate and got two small pieces of regular french toast with what seemed to be an entire sleeve of oreos crushed on top of it. The "chocolate batter" was practically nonexistent, and the chocolate sauce barely tasted like anything. To top it all off, the last bite I took of the meal tasted like bell peppers, leading me to believe they don't clean or wipe the griddle down between meals made. I was disgusted that I had basically been given a sleeve of oreos and two sad pieces of french toast for $18 dollars. Don't waste your time/money here. read more

The food was tasty, but the death by chocolate French toast was absolutely not what was described. The menu calls it "chocolate French toast batter, chocolate cocoa krispies, white chocolate sauce, mocha sauce, chocolate shavings, powdered sugar." What I got was two slices of regular French toast (not chocolate batter), what tasted like maybe the mascarpone topping from the lemon pancakes, crushed Oreos, Hershey syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. Again, tasty but definitely not as described! I asked the waitress and she just said, "well we only have one chocolate French toast and that's it." read more

Cute fun restaurant but I wouldn't say the food is fantastic. Pretty standard breakfast fare, but I liked that the hashbrowns were made in a waffle iron! We asked for the potato's to be extra crispy and they were perfect. Definitely get extra syrup too. read more

I rarely write reviews, and never like writing a negative one, but I couldn't let this go. My fiance and I stumbled upon this place on a rainy Sunday, excited to try something new in the neighborhood. Friendly staff, but horribly slow service. And that's just the first of many problems. Given we went on a Sunday, I would forgive the delays if there was a busy brunch crowd, but it was not crowded at all and we were seated right away. But then we waited at least 10 minutes before asking one of the waiters if they could find our server to at least bring water and take a drink order. We then ordered food and drinks at once to avoid further delays, only to have our food come out decently quickly while waiting another 10 minutes for the drinks. It would all be moot if the food was actually good, but it was meh, at best. My fiance got the turkey club and thought it was "the most average turkey club you could imagine." I got the chilaquiles and sadly, they were below average. At least the prices weren't crazy, but you shouldn't have to spend $$$ to get decent brunch. We live downtown so are blessed with many good brunch options. I actually can't remember the last time I've had such a mediocre meal. I will never go here again, and recommend you don't either. read more

Make sure to double check on your reservation because they lost ours and didn't want to find a solution. Thanks for the service.

Food was very, very good (I had the breakfast burrito and my partner had the two egg plate). Great service; very highly recommend.

Fun kitschy place for brunch with friends! Lots of photo opportunities for social. Food, drinks & service were good too.

Ambiance is amazing Food is Divine. The opportunity to dine there is truly a blessing. I will definitely recommend this place.

Well, I try not to be negative because it's not in my nature but this place tipped the scales. The food was flat out awful. I ordered Chicken and Waffles but I received Rubber and Batter. The chicken was dry, chewy and zero flavoring whatsoever. If you order it and they ask you for hot sauce and ketchup, get it because you're going to need it. My wife ordered Eggs Benedict which she could only describe as "meh." She also got an Iced Vanilla Latte which tasted like burned bean water with about 20 oz of vanilla syrup to cover up the awfulness. The jukebox was so loud that I couldn't hear myself think and I had to scream at my wife. The only positive I can say was the young lady at the front. She was very kind and welcoming. read more
