    Hashbrowns
    Jonathan W.

    Take credit card. Have their own parking lot. Open at all hours, never closes It's a chain with 6 locations in Chicagoland. Like people said, it has the look and feel of a Waffle House. They have bar seating and multiple tables indoor. I got their 2-2-2-2 deal for $8.99: 2 eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon. Got a side of hashbrowns. Overeasy eggs cooked perfectly Pancakes were cooked well, soft buttery. Bacon was crispy, not overcooked. Hashbrowns were disappointing, not very crispy and undercooked.

    2 Eggers with 2 Pancakes with a side of Turkey sausage Patty

    I was on the hunt for a brunch-type steak dinner but was unable to locate on within the area. This place showed up and my husband I decided to give it a try. The location was an easy to find spot. The place looks like it used to be an old Waffle House style layout. The restaurant had its own parking. The inside was clean but gave an old restaurant feel and could use a slight update to bring it to current day old cafe style. The dining space was very small so to be 8 months pregnant I had to eat sideways. None of the tables moved and the place is a tight. So if you are a larger framed person or pregnant like myself - you won't eat comfortably at all. The food was hot and fresh to order. I played it safe and ordered pancakes with 2 eggs and Turkey sausage patties. They won me over with having more than pork as an option. Th food tasted as if it were prepared at home very good on seasoning and flavors. The staff were very kind although many hardly spoke much English which made the entire experience of communication a little hectic. They charge an 18% gratuity for 4 or more people which is a bit much. You don't have to force tips if service is good and their customer service was very nice despite the communication barrier. If I ordered again, it'd probably go be to-go.

    BLT Sandwich

    I think it was maybe 11:00 pm when the munchies hit and me and my friend took a short walk to this lil gem. I know everyone has mixed opinions about neighborhood diners. However, do you know how cool it is to have a 24/7 diner that's a 5 minute walk from your front door? I legitimately said I wasn't super hungry and proceeded to order a club blt (untoasted.) Our server," Chunky" was very sweet and super helpful with little tweaks and tips to make sure you got exactly what you wanted. She had the best energy and we even hugged when I left! Super chill vibes from her! My friend ordered the chili cheese purger with seasoned fries and it's your typical quarter pound burger topped with chili, cheese with onions . It comes on a toasted bun and he had seasoned fries and a side of bbq. As mentioned I ordered the blt club and that was bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato's on white toasted bread. I had a side of regular fries. Everything came out super hot and so fresh. Those fries were so perfect! Crispy on the outside with the most decadent soft inside . So so so good! It was clean plate club for me ! No leftovers lol! If you're up late, early or you just need a quick meal, go give them a shout! It's a cute experience and honestly, it's real food and that's always a great thing about. Thanks so much guys! I'll be wandering over any day now!

    Receipt #2
    Kaitland G.

    Tldr: get an itemized receipt! The food was alright, typical cheap diner food. My review is for the cashier. We got up to check out at the register and the cashier input our stuff without going over what we got and said the total for us was $160. I was shocked because that def didn't sound right because there was only 4 of us, but I was tipsy and just figured that maybe the included gratuity was high. I swiped my card and my friends were like hold on, that doesn't sound right. The cashier starts rattling off what we had and we all said yeah that's what we ordered, but that total is not right. She prints the itemized receipt (attached) after swiping my card and it shows we ordered 10 meals. Like there was only 4 of us, how does that even make sense? We start telling her what's wrong and she gives us the new total of $60 and expects me to swipe my card right away. I had to ask her for a refund on the previous swipe, since she hadn't even done that yet. No apologies or anything taken off for "accidentally" charging me triple the price. I'm posting both of my receipts below, and I've seen other ppl posting similar experiences.

    I came in at three A.M., and it was packed for a random Saturday. Chunky and Ashley were amazing servers. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    We went here at about 10 PM on the way home from a ride with a few friends. The service here was pretty kind, decent atmosphere, and the portions are pretty large. The prices are very fair. Old-school diner I haven't tried out before. They take cash, card, and Apple Pay.

    Steak 'n' Egger corner of Cermak & Racine
    Phil S.

    Ok so I use to have a Steak 'n' Egger on River Road up in Mt Prospect years ago when my Ma & Pa lived in the area, but like many places they disappeared. Fast forward driving down Cermak I passed a Steak 'n' Egger & made a mental note to stop in. Well today was that day. Steak 'n' Egger is on the corner of Cermak & Racine. I had to stop by. Steak 'n' Egger is your typical 50's/60's diner w/stainless steel soffit, SS back splashes & SS kickplates under the counter w/barstools . The walls behind the servers have menu items along w/menus on the counter you can order from. They have a bunch of cool memorabilia on the walls of items from a different era Like the old diners they advertise w/some of their specials. Today I ordered a good old standard breakfast of 2 eggs over easy, 2 sausage Pattie's, 2 pieces of bacon & 2 pancakes. The old 2-2-2-2 special for $8.88. Add in an order of extra crispy hash browns & you have a simple basic meal. This diner is open 24hr a day so if your in the area & have a hankerin fee sum vittles stop on in. Good basic decent food for a good price. Since they're open 24hrs you kin get vittles any time of da day or night, breakfast, lunch or dinner all good. I will definitely be back

    GREAT FOOD. Ashley is the greatest waitress I've experienced in the establishment. Her hospitality was superior upon expectations. Will return for the food as always and will sit inside specifically to be served by Ashley.

    A woman who is miserable and hates her life so she takes it out on other people.
    Shaniqua D.

    While I usually love steak n egger this woman made my experience terrible. If you come in and see her, leave! She hates her job and gives customers unnecessary attitude due to her own personal issues. I asked this lady to give me a receipt or some type of bill to see what I was being charged for, she refused and said that I could see my bill AFTER I paid. She also got my order wrong, which is why I asked to see my bill before being charged. After charging me and seeing that my bill was wrong she refused to fix it or refund me for overcharging me.

    1 Ib. T-Bone Steak with Hashbrowns, and Toast

    This place is my all time favorite for breakfast/brunch. My bf and I go here ATLEAST once a week when we don't want to make breakfast. This place is great because the wait staff is extremely friendly, the food comes quickly & tastes delicious. Definitely my all time favorite diner -& this really says a lot because I was never a fan of diners until I came to this place. My go to is the T-Bone Steak with sunny side up eggs, hash browns & white toast. My bf goes with the veggie lover's skillet. Both are our absolute favorites and never disappoint. We will DEFINITELY be back soon!

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    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.

Why would you not order a flight to try a variety of drinks all at once? We had the hibiscus lemonade and matcha flight, the mango con crema and banana con crema were the standouts.

They also offer brunch food items which we did not get to try. But overall cute shop with a variety of speciality drinks that I will definitely try in the future.

    Stockyard Coffee House in Chicago, Illinois. Overall, I really liked it. The only small downside…read morewas that it felt a bit warm inside, probably because it was already a hot day outside. The staff--at least the person who helped me--didn't feel super welcoming. Not that they were rude, just not particularly warm either. I get it though, because even I get a little irritable when it's hot, so maybe that played a part. What I love the most is that it's Latina-owned, and that's something I truly admire. I always try to support Latino entrepreneurs when they're doing things right, and this place is definitely doing something creative. We ordered two flights--one with coffee and one with matcha. Each flight comes with four small samples, and they were all seasonal fall flavors, which I thought was such a fun and unique idea. It's cool because you get to try different drinks in little cups, almost like a tasting experience. The coffee flight (we got it iced) was amazing--the flavors were bold and had that strong coffee taste I personally love. The matcha flight was also fun, but I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavor in some of them. They also have plenty of milk options--we ordered ours with oat milk and it was delicious. On top of that, they have a pretty wide food menu with bagels, sandwiches, wraps, and more. We tried the tuna sandwich and it was really good, definitely worth recommending. The café has little chairs outside, the vibe inside is cozy, and I loved that they were playing Spanish music. That's something you don't usually find in most coffee shops here, and it gave the place extra personality. The only thing I'm still unsure about is the price. For two flights (coffee + matcha) and the sandwich, the total was around $55. Maybe that's a bit expensive--or maybe it's just the nature of ordering flights, since I had never tried that before. Either way, it was worth it for the experience and the flavors. In short, it's a cute, cozy, and creative spot that's definitely worth checking out--especially if you're into seasonal flavors, want to try something unique, and love supporting Latina-owned businesses in Chicago.
