I ordered the buffalo wings with the house sauce and a lemon drop with house liquor in it. My friends ordered the truffle fries, Caesar salad, salad and jerk tacos. It was all delicious.

The staff was informative and recommended everything we ordered. The margarita tower can be split amongst 4 to 5 people. The happy hour deal for it is very much worth it. The drinks were hitting! The ambience of this place is very chill. They do need to work on their decorations to fill the space more. It's never a dull moment in there. lots of foot traffic. Free seating upon entering. I will be coming again! They do have select days for happy hour be sure to check before you go because they're happy hour deals are highly worth it!

The owner is bringing excellence and class to this corner of 75th Street. The food selection is amazing, with something for everyone. The waffles are not only topped with wonderful flavors like peach cobbler, but each waffle is made with flavorful batter that complements each topping. I had the waffle flight, so delicious and fluffy; but for those who wanted savory, there were delicious salmon patties and a variety of delicious creamy grits; and if you want to be healthy, there is an assortment of omelets. I loved the coffee presentation. The service was professional and very knowledgeable about the menu. The venue is beautiful. We went on a Sunday morning, and great gospel music added to the ambiance. It is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. I also liked the option for outdoor dining and very large off-street parking. Overall, a great place for brunch at a great price. I have told everyone about this great Chicago South Side gem and most definitely will go back.

Grand Crossing and Avalon Park are two areas on Chicago's South Side that have restaurants that…read moreserve up good food, but you don't think of those neighborhoods having good options. I hadn't been back towards South Shore, Grand Crossing, or Avalon Park for a proper sit-down at a restaurant in years. Glad I went to The Lawn Breakfast Bar. I ordered fried green tomatoes and fried chicken sliders. I have had fried green tomatoes at restaurants that I liked, but I haven't had unpretentious fried green tomatoes until coming here. No micro salad on top. No arugula for a garnish. No lobster, crab, or fancy meat on top under a specialty drizzle. Although a nice sauce that had a honey mustard flavor came on the side, the light crust on the tomatoes made them nostalgic. My grandmother used to fry hers lightly and to a crisp like these. On the chicken sliders, these were a hit. The chicken wasn't mostly seasoned crust but rather seasoned chicken. I had scrambled egg and Swiss cheese on the sliders with a light sauce that didn't overpower the sandwiches. And the buns were like buttered rolls. It's a small cafe with nice seating for solo, tables for two, and maybe one or two parties of 4-6. It is not for a party bus brunch crowd. And with the owner/chef being a one-man operation, this is a spot I recommend for chilling while waiting for food to come to the table.

It felt warm, welcoming, and inviting. Now, let's get into the food. The grit flight was incredible, but the pot roast one took me by surprise with how good it was. The pancakes, hash browns, and and salmon cakes were all delish. I am very paticular about my egg - I like them soft and runny - and these were about as close as any chef has come to making them the way I do at home. Lastly, that blue lemonade had me wanting a refill! I would definitely recommend checking this place out if your in Chicago. I will be back everytime I visit The Chi.

They have a Senior Menu that everything on it is $9.99. My husband and I both ordered from it and it was so nice to get out of a restaurant for less than $30 plus tip. I had the Old Fashioned Skillet with poached eggs and Greek toast. Hubby had scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, sausage patty, and pancake. He polished his off but I brought home a doggy bag. Plenty of quite tasty food. Ham in my skillet was fantastic. Service was decent. We went at 11:30 am on a Friday and plenty of open tables so no wait. Will definitely be back and it won't be 30 years.

We had the TNT wings, seafood bites, buffalo cauliflower, crab fries. You can't go wrong with any of them. We also had the impossible burger and the regular beef hamburger. Regarding drinks we had long islands, margaritas and lemon drops. The lemon drops and margaritas were too sweet for our liking . However the owners were very hospitable and willing to accommodate and accept feedback on how to improve things. I do appreciate that the owners were servicing the customers themselves. But it also takes away from them being able to manage everything going on and actual engage with customers because they are attempting g to get everyone their food on time . I would definitely revisit again to try a variety of items I didn't try as well as to sit on rooftop.
