    Best breakfast on that side of town old school diner and great coffee sit down or order to go…read morecustomer service is great .

    My husband and I pass this restaurant every morning. So last week I say let's try them out. So I…read morewent in and got our order to go. I ordered him Sunny side up eggs with hashbrowns with onions in it and bacon. I ordered my self an onion, mushroom and cheese omelette with grits and Parker House hot links. Both breakfasts also came with toast but the cashier told me that I could make my toast French toast for a small up charge. I met a regular that had been coming there for over 15 years. He said the food was so good. He traveled all the way from 78th and stony Island just to come here for breakfast. The guy also said that he worked for the city and that was one of the spots that all the workers would come to. I asked about the other Joe's restaurant across the street. He said that it was old workers that worked for the original Joe's that opened up their own business. The food took a little bit about 20 minutes they cooked everything from scratch. I also loved that they used real mushrooms for my omelette. So many other diners use canned mushrooms. I'm glad they didn't. I also ordered an apple juice and our total was under $19. That's a steal! We couldn't wait to get home so we opened it up in the car. Nice size portions!!!! Everything was delicious I don't even eat French toast but I did taste it and it was really good! Everything was hot and delicious. I highly recommend them!

I think our favorite was the catfish! If you go be sure to try Ernie's fingers. So so good. But the Jambalaya, Vegetarian Rice w/Jack Fruit, Fried Chicken, Roasted Carrots, Yeast Rolls, Pea Flower Tea Lemonade and all the other stuff was simply wonderful. Chloe, who is the proprietor, Did a great job of helping us out. We had some great conversation with her and everyone just loved the food. We definitely plan to go back!

    I really wanted to like Dixie Pura based on all the great reviews, but unfortunately, my experience…read moredidn't live up to the hype. I'm actually writing this review while standing outside waiting for my Uber. We ordered the Ernie's Fingers, Southern Curry Chicken, and Pimento Mac & Cheese. Let's start with tha ambience. The decor is inviting but it is VERY small inside. On to the food. The Ernie's Fingers were especially disappointing. For $15, I expected much more. They were essentially egg rolls filled with collard greens and cornbread--no meat at all. While the concept sounded interesting, it didn't justify the price tag. The biggest disappointment, however, was the food quality compared to the cost. The Southern Curry Chicken was dry and overcooked and really needed some type of sauce. The rice was simply plain white rice--nothing memorable and certainly not what I'd expect for a dish that costs around $40 - chicken and rice, literally. The pimento mac & cheese was also much saltier than I prefer. What made the experience even more disappointing was how we were treated. By the end of our 90-minute dining window, we were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. It felt as though we were being rushed out of the restaurant, which left a bad impression and took away from what should have been an enjoyable meal. To add to that, the automatic 20% gratuity was also a letdown. I have no problem tipping for great service, but considering the overall experience--from the food quality to feeling rushed out the door--it didn't feel deserved. Maybe I visited on an off day because so many others have had great experiences. I can only speak to my visit, and unfortunately, between the overpriced food, disappointing flavors, feeling like an inconvenience at the end of our meal, and the automatic gratuity, it simply wasn't worth the cost for me.

    Dolce Arte ended up being a nice place to slow down for a bit. It's inside an art gallery, so it…read morehas this mix of rustic and industrial style that feels different from a regular coffee shop. They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
