Before you go, read the rules or you will be in for a happy shock!!! Love this place. Was a perfect ending to our fun busy day. So Skip and my daughter had the best banter going on. She called him every name starting with S except Skip!! Burgers were great and milkshakes exceptional! Skip you are really amazing at what you do! read more

Food wasn't the best but service and the ambiance is fantastic, we had a fantastic time. Highly recommended to break the ice of the day.

We will never go back to this restaurant. Probably the worst customer experience and food I've had in many years (and that includes all of our traveling). Yes, we do understand what the experience is supposed to be like, but at the end of the day, it doesn't make up for an awful experience. read more

The kids had so much fun! I didn't tell them much about the restaurant so everything was a surprise. When the waitress yelled at them the first time, it was classic. They stopped in their tracks and then started laughing. So great to see the kids have such a fun time and the food wasn't bad either. read more

Love this place!!! Servers are great, such a good time. Food is great!!! Good time had by all.

Was not overly impressed with the food. Server was funny, a little much, but that's the theme.

Took my wife and gramddaughter there and we got a chicken sandwich, kids meal of chicken strip, a burger and chocolate shake. Cost me $75 with the milkshake being $10.00. Not impressed with the food at all. read more

The food was excellent the service was great and the atmosphere was super fun!!! The establishment was very clean!!! read more

Very unique in the sense that you see the opposite of being greeted and treated politely and nicely! Staff, waiters, waitresses were mean but in an spectacular and funny way! This is how they differentiate themselves from other restaurants :) Great food and nice ambience. Recommend it :) read more

I'm from out of town so this was definitely different but in a great way! Great food! And our server Miss Kitty was loads of fun! I'll come back for sure! read more

Out of all the "kid focused" restaurants in Chicago this had ascended to my favorite. With that tidbit aside the food is still pretty damn terrible but the entertainment factor here alone is worth the price of bad food/admission. I do however think that the "sassiness" & rude comments are geared for slightly older kids. The ramifications could be unbearable if your kids are already headed for inappropriate behavior. The staff put on a dance routine & gave my daughter a complimentary dessert & sang for her birthday which is MORE than I can say for the majority of places. We order the chocolate milkshake, chicken tenders, turkey burger & the chicken sandwich & aside from desserts they were all hard passes but again you're not here for the food. read more

The food was great, but I was constantly being picked on by the staff. They practically threw the napkins at me and I don't know if that is part of some kind of terrible joke, but I won't be coming back. read more

Food is good but the abuse is better! Recommend coming here for a meal with waiters and waitresses who treat you like a step child. Tons of fun to watch patrons faces from the unexpected service. Will come back when in Chicago. Recommend it the shakes rock read more

We knew about the rudeness and jokey stuff before going in. What we didn't know was that some of the food was awful. We were there for breakfast and at 3:30pm I'm still suppressing burps. My husband had a burger and fries and said it was good. I had eggs, biscuit and gravy, sourdough toast, and sausage. Food was not anywhere near hot nor warm. One biscuit? Eggs were fine. After we left, my husband said they charged $4.95 for the toast. Was that on the menu? No. Was that on the menu on-line? No. I took the toast and one sausage home. They were okay. The ritual rudeness was not funny in any way. Yeah, yeah, it was supposed to be entertaining. Maybe it was cute back in the day, but it just seems juvenile and nasty now. On our way out, I suggested to a young couple waiting to be seated to go somewhere else. Mr. Manager, don't bother responding. I won't even be looking. read more

My brother has a flight to Japan and we wanted a place to stop at and have fun. This was the perfect option, the food was good and fast. The service was outstanding and they kept us entertained and excited! The atmosphere of the restaurant really screams 80s dinner which is so fun. I highly recommend visiting if you're in town or near this place. read more

I planned a trip to Ed Debevics for my best friends bachelorette party for the last day, as I couldn't think of a better way to end our trip. We came in, and initially everyone was so friendly that it left us, wondering if they had completely changed their business model. Once we were seated, a server named Sugarfoot came over to help, dressed as sort of a hobo clown cross that was fun. From the get-go, he was very playful with us, and always harassing us whether he stopped by to exchange a few words or smack the hats off her heads and menus out of our hands. My favorite thing he probably did was walking by and throwing a handful of napkins at us to give us our napkins. There was a lot of dancing, some great commentary by everyone, and a plethora of harassment whether from our server, or any others. The food was good, the turkey burger was described as incredibly juicy, the regular burger was described as a little drier as was the bun, and the sliders were the same as well. The fries were good, and I enjoyed my Chicago dog. Looooots of dick jokes from him about getting a wiener and had to publicly state that I needed practice before taking on their 11" one haha. It was an amazing time in this cool, retro themed diner and lots of great signage on the walls and funky outfits donned by the staff. Although I don't get to eat here often, we had a great time and loved all of it. Just make sure you've got a real open sense of humor before visiting because I felt like my answers might get me cancelled at some points through the visit lol. Pro: the birthday song, omg. "This is your birthday song, it isn't very long" and they all just immediately bail. It's hilarious! read more

Good food and entertainment. I have serious food allergies, so I appreciated that they broke out of character to address the seriousness. My salad was plentiful and the waiters fun. read more

Barbie provided us with such HORRIBLE service that it made our whole experience fun and amazing! . She dished out the perfect amount of insults, sarcasm, and bad recommendations. For our last meal in Chicago, Barbie made sure we had a memorable one! Oh and the food was yummy too! read more

Haven't been here in years, but they were just as sarcastic and sassy as I remember. The sweet potato fries were awesome! read more

The food was great the server Johnny benchwarmer was incredibly funny and charming. Great experience

This is the most kid friendly restaurant in streeterville. Fun 50s diner with sarcastic staff, entertainment with dancing! And hats to wear. The kids loved it- they were entertained without any toys or crayons. The prices are typical for the area (expensive!) But the food was tasty- I had a Reuben with a side salad that was enjoyable. Kids loved the chicken tenders and fries and world's smallest ice cream sundae. Highly recommend for kids if you are in the area. read more

Gingee made my day! Flew in early and came straight here! Food is classic dinner style which I love, but service is topnotch if you need a good laugh and the fun kind of bullying! Plus the oldies made the atmosphere 10 out of 10! read more

Hi Ed's!! We welcome back the corny cheesy live affair with old school diners and fountain drinks. The new location brings back the same cool soda shop with the usual burgers. The fun staff is ready to dance your order to your table. The music is a little loud, and the colors and lights even louder. Adult drinks are available, and ice cream treats are a plenty. Save room for the Sundae... read more

Located in The Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago, Ed Debevic's is a retro-inspired diner with true diner food. Be ready for a sarcastic waiter or waitress. Lol. Great food and service. Overall, a great time. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

You might think this is just a tourist trap, but the breakfast food is actually really good. So don't just come for the ambience and the lighthearted abuse. And if Schmullen is your server, you will feel extra grateful for being reminded what a Hippocrate you are for your unhealthy eating habits. read more

Velveeta was a wonderfully sassy server. Food was decent diner food. This isn't a place you go to for the food though, it's about the experience. Really cute place to bring kiddos. read more

B.Rat was great. Served up a mixture of sass and still quality service. My nephew does, indeed, have a giant head as she mentioned when putting his paper hat on. Food was good. I had the meatloaf sandwich. Chili was so so. The party also got the Route 66 and the patty melt with no complaints. Cute decor and some very cute waiters. read more

The world's smallest sundae is the cutest, ever! See pic for cuteness. The key lime pie was tasty. The brownie sundae was very tasty! Chicken fingers and fries were a bit salty for me, but fine for everyone else. Was a a great, fun time and experience for all the nieces and nephews. The nerd was our server and he did a great job, being in character. We parked nearby, in the Nordstrom/Eataly parking structure. Make sure to pre-pay for parking. read more

Fun! Fun! Fun! After a week in the city for my husband's surgery it was nice to have some good food and a smile. At true treat for any age.

Food is great! And our pirate server Clammy was awesome. :) kids loved it... great addition after a day at the museum.

Axel is the man, he made the experience awesome and he was great with the kids. This is a fantastic classic ChiTown spot!

Always a great time coming here! Food is delicious and staff is so rude! Clammy C was ruder than any wait staff! lol Honestly a great place!!! read more

Took my daughter (19) and her friends in for a Drag Queen Brunch. Everyone had a blast! Service was great! Our Server (Cherry Bomb?) was attentive and had the just right amount of Sass. This was our first time visiting the new location and everything was new, clean and upgraded version of an old diner. Food was great! Two of us had breakfast and the other two ordered burgers. The worlds smallest sundae isn't 50 cents anymore but well worth the chuckle. Girls had chocolate malts, root beer floats, and a shake. I will be back again! read more

I hadn't been here since I was a teenager and the old location was still open. The service was entertaining but a little slow. The food was good but expensive. The experience was meh. I think having a larger group for the waiter to play off of and joke with would have helped. read more

If you want to have a fun experience then this place is it!! The burger was ok but everyone at the table kept laughing! All the servers danced in the center stage. Forgot to take a pic of the burger but I remember to take a pic of the smallest sundae read more
