The burger is huge, I mean gigantic. 2 smash patties and lettuce, and bacon onions. It was well done and tasted decent. I couldn't eat the whole thing. +You get a lot for your money.

The pastrami sandwich is also huge. Not Manny's huge but almost. Manny's though has more flavor.

It's polished enough for first dates and dining with friends, yet casual enough for a quick bite after work, or having a few beers while watching the game.

I love mine with half gin and half vodka.

I've been to multiple Breakfast House locations throughout Chicago over the years, and one thing…read morethat has always impressed me is how remarkably consistent they are. Whether I'm meeting friends for brunch or grabbing breakfast with family, I know exactly what to expect: excellent food, warm hospitality, and an experience that keeps me coming back. While every location has been great, the Lakeview restaurant has become my home base, and it's one of those places where you genuinely feel like a regular. After enough visits, I've built relationships with the staff, and every time I walk through the door I'm greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. That kind of hospitality is becoming harder to find, and it's a big part of why Breakfast House stands out. The team is attentive without being overbearing, service is consistently efficient, and it's clear they take pride in creating a neighborhood atmosphere where people actually want to linger over coffee. As for the food, I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. My favorite savory dish is the BLT Benedict, which is a creative spin on a brunch classic. The combination of crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, perfectly poached eggs, and rich hollandaise creates an incredible balance of flavors. The English muffin stays crisp enough to support everything without getting soggy, and each bite has the perfect mix of savory, creamy, and fresh. It's one of those dishes I keep telling myself I'll branch out from... but I usually end up ordering it again because it's just that good. If you're in the mood for something sweet, the Chef's Special French Toast is absolutely worth ordering. It arrives beautifully presented and tastes every bit as good as it looks. The bread is thick and fluffy with a perfectly caramelized exterior, while the fresh berries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar make every bite feel indulgent without becoming overly sweet. It's the kind of French toast that's comforting, satisfying, and easy to share--although you'll probably end up wanting the whole plate to yourself. Beyond the food, the restaurant has a bright, cozy atmosphere that makes it an ideal brunch destination. Whether you're sitting by the windows watching the neighborhood wake up or catching up with friends over coffee, it has a welcoming energy that encourages you to slow down and enjoy your meal. The Lakeview location is convenient, easy to get to, and always has the feel of a true neighborhood favorite. One thing that speaks volumes is how often I bring other people here. I've introduced Breakfast House to friends, family, and out-of-town visitors, and every single one has left impressed. It's become one of my go-to recommendations whenever someone asks where to get breakfast or brunch in Chicago because I know they'll have a great experience. Consistency is one of the hardest things for restaurants to achieve, especially across multiple locations, but Breakfast House continues to deliver every single time. Great food, genuinely friendly people, generous portions, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the neighborhood--that's a combination that's hard to beat. If you're visiting for the first time, I'd highly recommend ordering the BLT Benedict or the Chef's Special French Toast (or better yet, split both with someone). After enough visits, don't be surprised if you find yourself becoming a regular too.

This place is yummy, this is the second location in their family of "Breakfast House" spots that we…read morehave tried. All the food is really good, the service was spot on! They really know how to cram the tables in there so be prepared if you have a big group! Portion size is hit and miss, some plates are packed to the gills, other plates are skimp sauce and that's comparing a favorite from both locations and also two plates at the same time. If I could rely on this consistency I would have given 5 stars but since I was still hungry after my dish, even though it was good I am settling at 4 stars, because hey, you're allowed to have "one of those days" Do I recommend? Absolutely we would go back again. Prices are decent food is good and staff has been good at both places!!

I asked what was in the espresso martini because I'd already been drinking vodka and didn't want to mix alcohol. The response I got was, "I don't know, it's premixed." Okay... premixed with what? I wasn't asking a complicated question. Then when I changed my order, it honestly felt like he wasn't listening to anything I was saying. The attitude toward me and my friends came across as rude and dismissive from the start, and it made us feel like we were an inconvenience. My friend even told me he's had this same server before and has had similar experiences. It's disappointing because the food and atmosphere were great, but one bad interaction completely changed how I felt about the place.

It was 9 am Saturday, the place wasn't packed and the outdoor seating open. We were seated quickly. Water got brought out quickly and drink order was taking fast too. We started looking at the food menu and sadly nothing stood out to us for the prize they were asking. So we decided to not get food and just do the latte. When the waitress came ready into take our food order, we told her we will just do the latte, she visibly got mad, abruptly took our menu & walked off without a word girl relax. Is it by force that we have to order food? Anyways we got our $10 latte, which was disappointing and didn't taste great. Overall the experience started off good then the waitresses attitude at the end ruin the whole experience. We didn't try the food so maybe it's good if they're getting away with those prices y'all let me know lol Definitely will not be going back.

Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great for a meal that feels light but still filling. The Green Goddess dressing was honestly the standout for me, super creamy, flavorful, and so good. Overall, such a solid option when you are craving something fresh and lighter. Definitely a place I would come back to.

There's currently no reliable way to place a to-go order ahead of time: their phone number isn't listed, the website advertises online ordering but it never seems to work, and the delivery apps are hit or miss at best. I'd honestly order from here a lot more often if I could easily place an order while out walking my dogs and pick it up later. Some items, like the breakfast wraps, take a bit to prepare, so without advance ordering I often end up going somewhere more convenient instead.
