This place has a great vibe. The food is true diner food cooked on a flattop grill by expert grill men. All of the waitress are friendly, smiling and attentive. The food is diner fair but I suggest the chorizo and eggs. read more

Back in the city and had been here before and it wasn't horrible. Seating is always a nightmare. We had to wait an hour for food and it wasn't very good at all. So disappointed. The best part about it it's close to the house. read more

After my sleep study, i had steak n eggor on my mind. So i called in ribye eggs hashbrowns white toast. Order was ready fast. Service was great. My bf was good. However, the steak needed a little more love. Under season, fatty. Which i know fat is a gamble with steak. Eggs hashbrowns were good. Steaks need more season! read more

Fresh made food and beverage but the taste is so so. Rib eye breakfast comes with a over cooked meat.

I really don't expect the quality of a fine steakhouse at a neighborhood diner, but I do expect to get what I ordered. I ordered a T-Bone steak. A T-Bone steak contains a strip steak on one side of the bone and a tenderloin (filet mignon - the better and more valuable cut) on the other side of the bone. Well, the so called "T-Bone" they served had the tenderloin side scavenged off, leaving maybe a half a bite sliver. Their excuses about the size of the strip steak size and the fault of the vendor were meaningless (and I'm not convinced either is true), and their weak apology is not a substitute for the menu deception or corrective customer service. Just because a strip steak has the bone in does not make it a "T-Bone steak" without the tenderloin cut on the other side. read more

I will never ever go to this establishment again!! I order a egg white omelette and it wasn't a omelette at all!! It was falling apart they just through the cheese on top and when I ask to order something else the refuse to cook something else!! Poor customer services!! Never again!!! read more

24 hour breakfast spot is always good. I don't have a whole lot to say but it wasn't crowded at all (we went at 5am) and the food was made nice and fresh right in front of you. Food was very good. I just had turkey bacon, eggers and pancakes. Also wasn't pricey either. read more

Place is a hit! Get you a steak and some eggies and don't complain about it you lil busters!

Anywhere you can watch the cook make your food is okay with me. My pork chop and eggs and pancakes hit the spot after a show at Thalia Hall. And it's open 24 hours! I plan on coming back often. Thanks for the delightful service Chunky! read more

Waiters add their own tip to your tap please ask for a receipt at all times. I feel that a tip should be added with permission from the guest & earned. Also I am a party of one person not 6 people so why are they added a tip on their own. I spoke to the "store manager" today 2/8/22 just unprofessional and rude because she hung up the phone on me but before that she did say that they do add Tips to taps. That's stealing. I will be escalating this to corporate. read more

Steak 'n "meh"gger. Y'all KNOW I love a diner. Greasy spoon, divey, whatever...serve me some relatively good coffee and eggs and I am pretty much set to jet. Literally. I don't care what it looks like...honestly. Steak 'n Egger started out pretty swell. Fast, efficient service...cute tagline: "We doze, but never close." 24 hours, sweet. The price is right. My "2-2-2-2" plate was under $5. (2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes, 2 eggs). Oh, the coffee. Not good. Diners specialize in hot/strong coffee...c'mon! I don't need Starbucks, but it sure as hell can't be WEAK. Ayyyyy. So sad. I was jonesin' big time...and this was disappointing...and, no Splenda. Blah, I will just abort the coffee mission. So, I order a Diet Coke. They have Pepsi. Ok, I just need some brown caffiene liquid, so bring it. It comes...covered in some sort of white film. Oh, my. No. I cannot drink it. I am left to subsist on WATER. The horror. Overall, cheap, hot, fast diner food...ambience is what you'd expect. Private parking lot. Open 24 hours. Need some work on the essentials: drinks. Please! read more

On the brunch hunt for the best french toast, a work friend gushed over this place. BEST french toast he said. We went there, lone diner in industrial area. kinda liked that aspect. Like a gem stashed away. No posing like all these GASTRO-PUBS. French toast, pretty good. If you go there, get it. wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. It was nice. But if you call a place steak 'n' eggers, your steak and eggs better be great. It was tough and under seasoned. the hash, was like mash potatoes. We were close enough to the flat-top grill to see the cook was crowding the grill. Friendly servers though, quick service. Can't beat 24hr availability. read more

Steak 'n Egger. After your nightcap you come here. You come here for the terrible food, the blood you found in the restroom floor that one time, for the occasional shady characters that come in and of course, the mildewy coffee. And you know what? As terrible as it all is, when you sit back with your head pressed against the cold windows as the sun begins to rise- and the colors of the dawn emerge against the greased walls as you wipe your mouth... all of the grit of Chicago nightlight falls away. Steak 'n Egger will kiss your somber Chicago blues away. They do everything wrong in the right way. And when you wake up in two hours from now hung over you'll remember nothing but being tucked in my the warm fluorescent hands of that girl back in Pilsen who had no hygiene but had a heart of gold. read more

Who doesn't like a delicious greasy breakfast on a lazy Sunday afternoon? Don't judge me, I know you've had your fair share of sleep-in Sundays. You wake up, you entire body hurts from a late night of hard core Scrabble playing, and your stomach is just begging to be filled with all sorts of goodies your conscience and your cardiologist doesn't allow. Silence that little goodie two shoe voice sitting atop your shoulder and give in to your greasy desires. Steak'n'Egger satisfies with huge platters of steak and pork chops with eggs and hash browns cooked atop a sizzling slab of butter. Fast service and fast turn over means minimal wait time and maximum grease time. Bon appetit mes amis. read more

The food here, like another reviewer said, is almost inedible. I want to make clear that this is no exaggeration on my part. We all make claims like this at one point or another about some food that is just not what we wanted, didn't taste like our favorite, etc. But, that is not the case here: the food is awful. Other reviewers have said that it is good or average diner food, but that is a perverse lie. They should be ashamed for deceiving others and allowing them to believe that this food will go down like all other diner fare. It is a cruel prank. To help others understand, I will contrast this place with another, average diner. If you've had the displeasure of going to Kevin's Hamburger Heaven at 38th and Pershing, then you know the food is overpriced, incredibly greasy, and tastes awful. When trying to eat my omelet and hashbrowns (which latter must have been used to clean up an ancient mess on the floor before making it to my plate) at the Steak and Egger, I wished that I could be eating at Kevin's. Kevin's cooks are celebrity chefs compared to the practical jokers they have flipping burgers at the Steak and Egger. Remember, Kevin's is terrible at its best, but if the Steak and Egger is much, much worse, then it stands to reason that we're not even talking about food anymore, rather some Lovecraftian muck found in an old house in Innsmouth. I'll wrap this up by reminding you that my comments are not exaggerated, and I am doing this from duty to my fellow citizens, the duty we all have to keep others from danger. read more

What else needs to be said about this Pilsen staple??? They're open 24 hours, they take credit/debit cards and their entire staff is incredibly friendly... I'm especially quite fond of their open-faced hot turkey with mashed potatoes... That shit rocks. Definitely worth checking out when the beast known as hunger strikes... read more

I have not been here sober, but that shouldn't matter. I have eaten two things here - yup you guessed it 1. steak 2. eggs. From what I can recall, it was flippin awesome. The last time I was here I was with a huge group of drunks. I don't know about everybody else but I couldn't stand up, much less sit down properly. I probably should have been getting my stomach pumped and not eating. The server was sweet, gave us all sass back without being a bitch, and didn't kick us out even though we took forever. If I find myself in Pilsen again around 3:00 am with a desire to shove my face with awesomeness, I will go here, no doubt. read more

Had been coming here for years, but it had been going downhill for a while. But tonight is the straw the breaks the camel's back. Absolutely disgusting experience tonight. Sat down, ordered two drinks, and before we even ordered a ROACH crawled across our table. To add insult to injury they still charged us for the 2 sodas. Appalling. read more

p.s. I love you......steak n Egger. As Mr. K would say, "rolled into here wasted" last night. Well maybe not face plant drunk but definitely feelin nice. I'll be honest. I had to go pee so bad....their bathroom was the sweet sweet oasis. So I couldn't just use the bathroom. I had to buy something to fit into the "customers only" rule. I got the fries. Well let me just tell you. My dining partner was an excellent chef from a very prestigious restaurant that is currently receiving critial acclaim. He thought the fries were superb. I agreed. I'm from the south and for thoese of you who share this heritage, you know the famous Waffle House. That's right, cooks wearing wife beaters with missing teeth and grease stains. Well, the Steak n Egger is a version of that, at its Midwest finest. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. And will be back as soon as possible. read more

A simple slice of true Americana in a world of prefabbed, reproduction, pre-made B.S. I used to come here all the time at 7am when I got out of working 3rd shift. Now I just swing by when I can. Food is cooked with butter or lard, big portions, watch them cook your food right there at the bar. Get the steak sandwhich. Suggestion: sit at the bar alone and talk to the person next to you or the waitress. Sound simple? It is. Its as rewarding as it is simple. read more

One cocktail too many usually results in late-night diner food. This night was no exception, and luckily for us, my friend Phil knew just the place. Steak 'n' Egger! Because, they doze but they never close. First off, be warned: As Colleen C pointed out, the coffee is not good. As in, not at all. Skip. The food: It's greasy diner fare. You can smell the grease from afar, so just relax and know what's coming isn't good for you. I ordered the hamburger 'n' egger, which consisted of 2 eggs, a hamburger patty, some hash browns, and buttered toast. All was decent save for the hamburger: Every bite was riddled with the unmistakable taste of freezer burn! I couldn't even finish it, and I have one hell of a voluptuous alcohol-induced appetite. The positives: Open all the time, good simple staples such as bacon and eggs, and it's crazy inexpensive. The three of us ate for less than $20 total, including tax! read more

Steak n Egger is now HQ to our newly formed prostitution ring business. Let's face it, times is tough out there. While we were plotting our illicit business model, our waitress made sure coffee cups were always filled, though the coffee is on the weaker side for a diner. The food came out fast, and the portions were just right. Apparently you can get a chili omelette here. This is probably better in theory than practice. Similar to our new business venture. Good, cheap, greasy breakfast for curing a hangover, or perhaps your last meal before being arrested for certain illegal activities. Minus a star for no tomato juice and minimal bike locking opportunities. Feel free to check the napkin holders for a business card. read more

This place is great! If "Waffle House" had a child that moved to Chicago, didn't smoke, and made better food, this would be it. The Saturday morning breakfast crowd was eclectic and hopping. Cars in the smaller parking lot ranged from work trucks to BMW's. Inside, people were friendly. Much like a Waffle House, you have to walk between the counter and the outside ring of tables to get anywhere. The set-up is conducive to strangers saying "good morning" as they walk by your table, as a few did. A small bit of neighborly humanity is a welcome change in what can be a cold city. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Without a doubt, the food exceeded expectations. They have pretty much anything you could think of. The omelets are huge and filling. Surprising for a dinner, for those who are health conscious, everything egg can be made with egg whites. The hash browns can be ordered in a number of ways, cheesy, veggie, etc. The hash browns probably should be ordered well done (i.e., crispy). As an aside, they make their own pico de gallo salsa which is fresh and spectacular! Put it on everything. All in all, great service, open 24 hours, great food, and prices that are better than fast food meals, this place is worth the trip! read more

I like this place, I love 24 hour spots. No the food is not five star dining, but for the cheap prices the food is amazing. I live about 3 blocks from there, and I work very late, so when I get home and dint feel like cooking, its great. The staff is usually pretty friendly. The ladies who work over night are so delightful. I have had only 1 bad experience, and it was from one of the very young waitresses who was too busy talking with her friends to take my order. Other than that, I will see you tonight Steak N Egger!! read more

So excited that this is in my neighborhood!! Our waitress, Maria, was super friendly and makes her own hot salsa to serve to the customers. Too hot for me, but my room mate loved it. I just enjoy the Waffle House memories that flow from this place. Service is amazingly quick too. read more

I went here a long time ago with an ex, but my roommate Dan and I went here last night around 11pm since I had driven by it earlier in the night on my way to DHL HQ to pick up a package. Look at the Google satellite map of this area. Relatively new May Street Cafe is only a skip away, but Steak & Egger has been there for ages. This is one of those greasy spoon diners that I wish was right down the street. Instead we have Lorraine's Diner and Hollywood Grill (which I don't even consider a diner). Steak & Egger is open 24 hours and provides deicious stick to your stomach food. I ordered two eggs over hard, pancakes (2), and grapefruit juice. My roommate went with steak and eggs and hashbrowns. We sat at the counter and watched the cook diligently prepare our meals, just like when we used to go to Tastee 29 (now 29 Diner) in Fairfax, VA. The huge vat filled with butter, the smell of bacon (and steak) frying, pies enclosed in glass. Our meals were ready in minutes. My only complaint was that the cook broke my yolks (I order them over hard so I don't have to eat the yolks). This cook made the most perfect pancake. Dan compared them to McDonald's big breakfast pancakes, which may not have been far off but I haven't had one of those in a dog's age. He had ordered his steak medium rare, but not even the slightest amount of pink was to be found. It mattered not. Steak & Egger really and truly hit the spot for both of us and our meals and drinks came to $13.59. read more

They Doze, but they never close!!:D:D:D I swear the only thing they need to do is lift the smoking ban in Chicago, and this is my kinda atmosphere!! greasy spoon all the way... now, one thing I'll say, at least on a personal note, and its the ONLY reason I give it 4 stars not 5.. in terms of "drunk" food( after closing time), doesnt sit too well.. kinda regret that decision in the morning... That being said, HANGOVER food the morning after??? Gimme sausage and Eggers, sunny side up PLEEEASE!!! Also, to this day, best goddamned diner coffee ever!! but, that's just me, y'know:)..I also make a point of going in here in the morning before any job I happen to get( I'm a freelance photographer)..its like good luck food for me.. total personal note, do what you will with that:) read more

Grease. Eggs. Weird meats. Little booths. A counter with stools. Endless coffee. You get it dummy. Order whatever you want... I'm not going to tell you what's "good." Take a moment to memorize this, and perhaps have a friend translate it to spanish for you... "Keep those coffees coming sweetie, the food tastes good but I want it out as fast as humanly possible." read more

This place is a total dive so it's really cheap. Just remember you get what you pay for. Our waitress was more concerned with shoving food in her face than with shoving food in ours. This diner is a tiny place and I still had to flag her down to get refills for my mom's coffee which was horrible anyway. When we were finally able to catch and keep her attention, I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese, a side of sausage links and an order of hashbrowns. The eggs were ok, the sausage links were dry and a bit overcooked and my hashbrowns were disgusting. They came to me lukewarm and dripping with grease, almost as if they had been boiled. Luckily, my order came with toast and it's really hard to fuck up toast. My mom ordered the steak n egger which wasn't really worth the money, what little we did spend on it. The steak was juicy but absolutely flavorless. It's ok for late-night drunk food, if you're looking for something that actually tastes good, I'd urbanspoon something else. read more

I was hungry after work (11pm) today, and my friend has told me that this is a great place for steaks so I decided to give it a try. It turned out that my decision was right. The horchata was good. The T-boned steak that I had was seasoned very well. One thing to mention is that their salsa picante verde (green hot sauce) was DELICIOUS. I would probably buy a bottle from them next time ;) average service but I'm all cool with that. read more

I recently went here when I needed to go to THE EMERGENCY ROOM because my FINGER was COMING OFF!!! and my GIRLFRIEND really wanted to eat HERE! well, I ate here. It was good. aside from the paranoia of my IMPENDING DEATH. Okay it's not actually that dramatic, but my finger could have fallen off and I was a little pre-occupied. I've been wanting to go here for awhile, but I moved here in the summer and I kind of felt like it was a fall time thing to do. It was the morning.. I needed to wake up. It was actually one of the best mornings. great food. I loved the coffee. It felt good. later that day. the hospital didn't help me much. I waited at the hospital for 12 hours. didn't get medical attention and then my car broke and I had to get a tow back to pilsen. $200 medical bill Thank you Steak 'n' Egger for being a wonderful start to a horrible day. read more

Well I ordered ribeye and eggs, but they accidentally thought I wanted a skillet. I should have been suspicious when she asked me what kind of cheese. They were very apologetic and offered to remake my food. I ended up just asking them to add Swiss and eating the skillet. It was by far one of the best skillets I have ever eaten. Every ingredient was fresh, and I could barely finish the quantity of food served. Great staff, great food in huge quantities, and a true diner environment. Yelp won't let me give 10 stars so 5 will have to do. Edit: I had to take an intermission while eating to write the review because there was so much food. The staff felt bad for the mixup and comped part of my meal. I tried to figure what I should have been charged and put the rest into her tip. 12/5 rating read more

The food is so damn good and reasonably priced. The service is quick and the staff is so polite.

Im a huge fan of diners and this one impressed me. From the portion size to the preparation of the food- I AM A HUGE FAN. I have witnessed how difficult it can be for any restaurant to whip me up an edible vegetarian skillet (often the veggies are over cooked or the potatoes are too tough). Steak'n'egger did a phenomenal job of making my food- i was pleased to see that they understand how to make eggs scrambled soft properly! Plus they seasoned my food just right. They are worth ever penny, if not more seeng that the price point is very reasonable. The staff was personable, the vibe was chill and intimate and they are open 24hrs a day. I definitely plan to return. read more

Yes it's a dive but the food is good, comforting and the price is right. I'm a fan of the diner and this is a keeper. read more
