RUN DON'T WALK HERE! First of all the decor is very cute inside and our food was PHENOMENAL! My husband got eggs potatoes bacon and the sour dough and loved it all. I had the egg sandwich and will be dreaming about it until I come back and get it again. I got a simple salad and it was delicious. They locally source their ingredients and you can tell. They also bake their own bread and it's divine! Such great food! *we made an open table reservation for 8:45 and it opens at 9. They are also closed Monday and Tuesday but everyone there is so nice* read more

Super cute brunch place with great service and delicious food! I went here today for brunch with a friend. Paid parking right outside the restaurant was easy to find at 10am on a Sunday. Our server was super sweet and answered all of our questions about the menu. We both got lattes, which tasted great. My friend ordered the root vegetable hash and I went with the monte cristo. Both were delicious but the star of the show was the rosemary roasted potatoes! Service was prompt and they also had lots of sweets/treats to choose from. Will definitely be back! read more

Went here with family (including our 9 year old grandson) and had a wonderful meal on a Sunday afternoon. Here's what stood out. Our grandson had the kids pancakes and said it was "The Best Pancakes he ever had!". That's a big deal for a pancake lover like him. Plus he loved the warm apple cider too. We split a couple of the Almond Chocolate Croissants, which was a big hit with everyone. Awesomely good! We even got more to go after for a friend's dinner later. Main dishes included the Burger, which was better than expected and the root vegetable medley with eggs (a consistent favorite). One other notable was the decaf coffee. It's hard to find a good decaf and the Big Shoulders brew was really good. read more

Haven't been here yet but bought their focaccia from farmers market in the pioneer court. As someone whose a bread connoisseur O M G this focaccia is Crack! Sooooo good!!! We inhaled it, even cold!! The rosemary flavor is an added bonus! Soo delicious! The bread is pillowy soft with a nice crunch texture on the outside if warmed up. Makes an amazing sandwich! read more

The restaurant has been on my bucket list for breakfast/brunch, however, I generally work on the weekends. I did not take off Marathon Sunday to cheer on the runners. Since the marathon was dwindling down, I decided to try the restaurant. I was seated on the patio since the weather is still nice. The male server had checked in with the two tables next to me without acknowledging me. They were both fine with their meals. Few minutes later, he checked in with them again and dropped off their checks and still didn't acknowledge me......I was really looking forward to try the Cinnamon French Toast. After being there for 13 minutes and being ignored I left. I guess I'll continue to be loyal customer at Stella's and The Bagel. Of course, I'll continue to check out other neighbor restaurants. read more

Great spot for brunch! I like that oak and honey has a classic well rounded menu but also with some elevated twists. I've always admired their outdoor seating when walking by, but was surprised by how big the inside is too! They have a nice coffee menu. I got a pumpkin spice latte along with the root vegetable hash and it was good! They make their bread in house, along with gluten free bread (it isn't listed on the menu, but it was nice that they have accommodations since my friend is gluten free! Also came with a housemade jam. Our server was so nice and accommodating! read more

Oh my! Deliciousness! First time for me several times for my family I had the Cesar salad with w/chicken and a side of rosemary roasted potatoes. The potatoes were oh so delicious! Crispy and tender! Hint of rosemary seasoned throughout the potatoes. Definitely a must with every sandwich or side dish I did not like the anchovies in the salad. Maybe I overlooked the ingredients but I would have asked to hold the anchovies. I picked them out! Overall the salad was good chicken grilled to perfection. My brother had the breakfast sandwich - croissant, egg & cheese, and bacon with rosemary roasted potatoes. Croissant was warm and buttery. Roger had a Monte Cristo sandwich with rosemary roasted potatoes--basically a ham/cheese sandwich but oh so delicious. The bread was fresh, soft, and buttery on its own. He could not eat it all. This place is very warm and inviting. Reminds me of a little cafe. You can also eat outside if you like. Our waiter, Nick, was very friendly and attentive. The only issue is they do NOT split checks. Whenever I'm in Chicago again, I will revisit. read more

Beautiful and cozy restaurant in lakeview. Went here for brunch and we were seated at the front of the restaurant right next to the giant windows on a beautiful day. The vibes were wonderful right off the bat. Green dream (pistachio matcha)- 2/5: this was just ok for me. I really enjoyed the dried strawberries on top but the taste didn't really do it for me. Matchamallow- 2/5: a good matcha but very very sweet. It was a little too sweet for me. Cinnamon roll French toast- 5/5: yummy! The perfect amount of food! 2x2 with bacon- 5/5: oh man... I dream of their rosemary potatoes. They are nicely crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and are perfectly seasoned. Their bacon was also delicious and is much more than bacon you would get from any old diner. Service 5/5- the staff was so sweet and accommodating! Overall - 4/5. A great place for brunch with a beautiful vibe and solid brunch food. read more

Phenomenal service, cozy vibe, and one of the best Benedict's I've ever had (Duck!!). I paired it with a very delicious and potent Beet Margarita. Whether you're looking for a robust breakfast/lunch, or simply a coffee with friendly atmosphere, this spot is the place to be. read more

We went to Oak & Honey for afternoon brunch today. We made a reservation through OpenTable, and the process was smooth. We were seated near the entrance. The restaurant is spacious and there is a small bar near the entrance. Our server was attentive and started us off with water and drinks right away. We ordered the Monte Cristo, French Toast, and Duck Benedict. I highly recommend the Monte Cristo and Duck Benedict. The Monte Cristo had sliced ham layered inside rich eggy French toast. The combo of mustard and maple syrup added a nice balance of sweet and spicy. The Duck Benedict was a creative combination. It's served on sourdough with a fresh side salad. The only downside was that the egg was slightly overcooked. The French Toast on its own was decent, but if you are already ordering the Monte Cristo, I would skip it since they are quite similar in flavor. Prices are fair -- about $35 for all three dishes, which felt like a good value. Side note: They make their pastries fresh daily! read more

What a wonderful brunch spot! We tried the Monte Cristo and the breakfast sandwich. I loved the homemade sourdough for the breakfast sandwich, but would have loved a little more flavor with the filling. The rosemary potatoes are so flavorful and crispy in the best way possible. My friend enjoyed the monte cristo very much. The service is so friendly and we had a great experience. The restaurant is big so can accommodate quite a few people. We came in without a reservation on Saturday morning and didn't have to wait. Would recommend! read more

Great little addition to the neighborhood! With creative twists on classic dishes, there's definitely something to please everyone on this menu. Our group visited for Saturday brunch and it was hopping. The lively atmosphere made for a fun get-together, but I definitely recommend making a reservation during peak hours. For the food, I opted for the avocado toast and pancakes to share. The avocado toast had a fantastic flavor that successfully blended a variety of elements including pesto and cilantro. The homemade sourdough was outstanding, and the salad dressing was addicting yet light. Definitely recommend this dish. My only qualm was that the bread was quite charred, leaving the crust hard and difficult to cut. The pancakes arrived hot and were super thick, fluffy, and well executed with real maple syrup on the side. I had ordered a drip coffee but, alas, it did not arrive until after I had finished eating and we were paying the bill. Although there were a couple of small hiccups, I really liked this spot and will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

I've been wanting to try Oak & Honey and am very happy we did. You will definitely want to make a reservation if you plan on stopping in for Brunch, otherwise you'll be seated at the bar. We ordered: - Iced Latte - Green Dream - Duck Benedict - Grilled Chicken Sandwich Everything was well seasoned and flavorful, we definitely went with heavier options but I didn't feel bad after. Next time I'll probably go with something sweet. I did see a bakery case near the front and it looks like it is all made in house. The staff was very friendly as well and not overbearing, definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Do yourself a favor and get breakfast or brunch at this spot. Firstly the service is attentive and engaging. The decor is inviting and welcoming. But most importantly the food is spot on.

What an exceptional addition to the neighborhood. The former occupant Ceres Table was very good so I worried about what would come next. Oak & Honey absolutely knocked it out the park. Finally decided to drop by for a late breakfast yesterday and was super satisfied from start to finish. The owners did an excellent job at revamping the interior, gotta love a good ambience but it's the food (and friendly service) that will keep me coming back as a loyal customer. Best pancakes ever. Lattes were on point. I'm here for a beer and sandwich soon for sure. read more

The food was fine, but the service was so atrocious I couldn't enjoy it. My meal took over 50 minutes to come out. During our never ending wait, the waitress never check-in nor apologies for the delay (keep in mind there were at most only 8 other customers seated). Oak & Honey is way too overpriced for a mildewy atmosphere & incompetent service. read more

Adorable outdoor patio with umbrellas. Nick, our waiter was very professional, friendly, and helpful. The grilled chicken sandwich was delicious & moist. Eggs prepared exactly as requested, chicken sausages were slightly sweet and very flavorful. French omelette with Gruyere delicately prepared. Side of bacon was just right. All dishes were served hot & fresh. Add a couple of coffees and a fresh mimosa makes you want to press repeat very soon. read more

My friends and I dined at Oak & Honey for brunch this past weekend and had a lovely time. While the food and drinks were 5/5, the service was only 4/5. The service is quite slow, and the hostess was a bit unfriendly to everyone waiting. We didn't have children with us, but it seems like a very child friendly place!!! read more

We had brunch on a weekday here, and I found it quite enjoyable! The servers seemed a little harried, but they might have been short staffed due to the holidays. They have a relatively spacious interior and comfortable seating. Definitely visit on the weekend if you want access to the full menu; I was intrigued by several of the options that were not available at the time. I got the duck au jus with the salad, and my friend got it with the fries. I thought it was tender and juicy, perfect with the hearty bread. The salad greens were fresh and the dressing worked well to cut through the fat. The fries were also crispy and well seasoned. The coffee is fine; nothing too special there. Prices are consistent with eating out in the area ($35 for entree + coffee). I'd be interested in trying their dinner menu! read more

My cousin and I originally planned to have brunch at a different spot a few blocks away but we were too late to get on the wait list. So I did my thing and hopped on Yelp to see what was open nearby and had a decent number of stars. Oak & Honey met our need. Walk into the restaurant and we were a little concerned because it was a little empty but it was also 2PM on a Sunday afternoon. Chicago weather was doing its thing and people wanted to be outside, so we just chopped it up to that. The hostess seated us immediately and Mike came to great us so quick, I don't think we had our jackets off or purses down. His smile and kindness were perfect for brunch. Now, let's get to the nitty gritty. I ordered the french toast and baaabbbyyyy was my tummy happy. The fruit was fresh, the toast was perfectly cooked and THAT maple syrup was divine. Tasted like they had the tree in the backyard and would tap it for each order. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely go back and try something else. read more

Visited during the first week of this restaurant opening, so we didn't get to try any drinks as their bar wasn't fully stocked just yet. However, the food was AMAZING. We had the duck and gnocchi(not pictured). The duck is probably one of the best duck dinners I've had in a while. Perfectly paired with mushroom and shaved celery (which I would've never thought of pairing with duck haha). I normally avoid ordering pasta or gnocchi as it's quite heavy for my taste, but the gnocchi here was very light and refreshing almost like a pasta salad. I cannot wait to visit again! read more

We tried Oak and Honey for the first time for brunch today. We will be back! I had the breakfast sandwich with sourdough bread (so good!), my spouse had the 2 by 2, and both came with a side of incredible rosemary potatoes. We bought a loaf of bread to take home as well. All baked goods are made in- house and while we didn't try the savory or sweet rolls and croissants, they looked divine. If you like a diner, upgrade to this local find! read more

Outstanding service great food and coffee. Staff very friendly. Thank you for a great Chicago breakfast experience!

This place is a neighborhood winner the likes of wish I had closer to me. We came to Chicago to meet up with my daughter and hang for my birthday. We met up at Oak and Honey because its and easy walk from her old place (which she was staying at with friends), and because it was the type of easy, accessible brunch we were looking for generally. It is neither diner, nor tablecloth-esque. It just works perfectly. They have a full barista type set up so coffee and drink options go way beyond the typical "house brew" default. There are great choices of made-in-house bakery items and the meals were tasty, well-prepared and substantial. The environment is comfortable and inviting and we will be happy to come back. read more

The two by two is 17.5 dollars and the portion size is extremely small. I got two eggs and the chicken sausage with no bread. This was a joke of a portion size. Truly disappointing. How can an establishment charge these ridiculous prices and have the audacity to serve small portion sized for a breakfast restaurant. Only reason I gave it two stars and not one is because it has a nice ambience. Other than that it was an extremely disappointing experience and portion size. read more

Three of us had a fabulous dinner. Leo, our server, was the best, friendly and knowledgeable. We scored a table by the window which was perfect. We ordered the beet salad which was very good but would be better without the beet chips. The brie and apply flatbread was the best. I would go back just for the flatbread! read more

Absolutely abysmal service. My partner and I made a reservation on open table that the host could not find. We offered to show our confirmation and she snapped at us that she didn't want to see it. While we were able to get a table, our server Nick was incredibly cold, sharp, and rude, obviously taking out the hosts frustration on us. We later saw on the OpenTable app that our reservation was associated with a different check-- they had clearly made a mistake checking in a different reservation and were taking their ineptitude out on us. Only one server in the building was maintaining any semblance of a positive attitude-- black pony tail and tattoos. Unfortunately having her as our server still wouldn't have made up for the price gouging on the menu. 0/10 not worth it. read more
