Really pretty PINK themed, black owned diner with different sections for photo ops. Greeted warmly and encouraged to pick my own seat. Given water right away and offered another drink off the menu. Wasn't sure what I wanted so samples were shared to help me decide. Hands down lavender lemonade for the win. I ordered the salmon and grits as well as the pancakes. The salmon was just ok and the grits had too much of an earthy flavor for my taste. The pancakes were pretty good but I had to request butter. Overall, another visit for other options may be a choice in the future. I do love the strength and resilience of the owners and the team. Someone busted out their door but didn't break their spirit.
This is such a girlypop spot, everything is pink and green and relaxing. Its like a silent bougie diner retreat idk. The service here was nice too, our waitress was booked and busy but she still made time to make our brunch enjoyable.Food was lovely, that breakfast sandwich I got was the perfect Amt of food..I bought it just so I can disassemble it. It was a pancake griddle sandwich. I literally cut up my beef bacon and my turkey sausage and eggs and put it in my cheese grits for nostalgia and taste purposes. The grits, once loaded, were heavenly... but prior to they were underwhelming. I expected them to Jazz up the base a bit, some heavy cream, maybe sour cream, chives.. it was just butter and water. The meat options were a huge thing for me because everything was non pork and it actually allowed me to enjoy all the breakfast meats. There was a slight mixup too, I wanted their matcha affogato, it looked amazing online...the waitress gave me a sundae..I could have stopped her when she said berries or mango on your sundae but I just wanted matcha something at this point and on the pictures the sundae looked like it had fresh berries..this sundae didnt taste like berries or matcha, green sugar pink sugar. Nonetheless, id def come back, maybe just skip anything matcha
Ordered their birria ramen for delivery and I don't want to judge the spot by this at all because I've heard good things about them. I may just need to go in person. Regarding the ramen - it was OVERLY salty. I couldn't even finish it because I felt like it was burning my taste buds and I'm not trying to be dramatic. Again - I don't want to judge them for this which is why I gave the 3 stars. Especially because the portion size was good. I hope to try them in person and hopefully edit this review.
I'm not a huge fan of diners but this was one of the only places available for Sunday Brunch! I ordered the two-two breakfast plate. It was subpar and service was not great. I will say the space is very pretty and pink which I personally loved! They are a BYOB diner and charge you $20 service fee for each bottle you bring.
food was amazing, not that cheap Sysco bs. they treated us better than well. I love the 50's diner atmosphere. got to meet the owners they were very kind and welcoming.
Stopped in to see if the hype I read in media reviews was for real. It's cool kinda. Fun colors, cool decor, female centric which is cool. The service was good. A couple of young kids running the place on their own seemed to be doing well with no manager in sight really. The food was basic breakfast nothing original but decent. I had heard it was pricey but it's no more so than any other place these days. Nothing to truly describe in detail as it was okay but not memorable. The Mac n cheese was pretty good. Someone told me it was similar to Pearls Place on 39th & Michigan but not even close. It's good at Stussy's but Pearl is nearly impossible to beat. The shake was the best part. A pretty good real ice cream shake. I usually check out bathrooms which guides my decisions on several factors in a restaurant. It wasn't impressive though. Like I said it was basic breakfast. But the service is good. These kids should get a bump for their efforts.
So cute! The food was great and service was quick and friendly. The salmon and grits were amazing!
First time here Calia was our waitress and she's the sweetest and very attentive. The place is super pink and welcoming we loved it. I'll continue my review after we get our food.
Came here at Sunday brunch time, but somehow I was drawn to this Birria Ramen dish that seemed so out of place along with eggs, waffles and pancakes. But the server said it was amazing and it just was calling my name. You can request different spice levels and I did ask for spicy, but it wasn't too over the top. Was delicious and had enough to take home for a second meal. Cute atmosphere is a woman owned business and lots of Pink going on. Would definitely come back.
This is my second time coming in for breakfast doing take out instead on dining in. Asia is such a great host/cashier. Customer service 10/10 . I love the overall ambiance of this restaurant and the inclusivity of being a Black Owned Business while still expanding employment to our community
This place is so freaking adorable!!! Everything is very girly and pink. I ordered the strawberry shortcakes (when in Rome!) and they were every bit as decadent and over the top as I was hoping. My husband got the baddie breakfast sandwich with beef bacon and loved it too. Also, they don't appear to serve pork here from what I noticed, but their offerings do not leave anything to be desired. I definitely recommend this place! Perfect for brunch and perfect for a girl's trip!
This place is a gal pal place to go. We ( the family) went for my little cousins birthday and I thought it was a fun place. The ambiance was great and played the best music. We really enjoyed the food. It's not a place if you have a large group as you can't sit together but you are all close to each other in the area. I would come back with a couple my girls.
I came here a couple months ago to check out the hype of Stussy's Diner. I love to walk inside an atmosphere that has a colorful decor and good vibes. This place is gorgeous and fun. Great place to take some photo ops for social media. I was the first customer so I was able to sit anywhere that I liked. I chose to sit by the window to enjoy the outside view. I was looking over my menu and a handsome guy with a Milk Man uniform appeared at my table. Instantly I gave this place a 5 Star. Just for the creative of the uniforms and handsome Milk Man. Ok back to my review on Stussy's Diner food and service review. After my brief distraction, I ordered the popular Velvet Crush Pancake, side of bacon and hashbrowns. The food was decent. I was disappointed with my burnt charred hashbrowns. I had My Milk Man Eli return them back to the kitchen. I couldn't eat burnt hard hashbrowns that had smoke taste. I enjoyed the casual retro vibes in this place. Nice music, services was good. The food could of been a little better. The owner took her time to stop at each table to chat with the customers. I can see myself coming back soon.
Okay, where do I even begin. I've been trying to come to Stussy's Diner for a long time, but somehow it never worked out. This time it finally happened. The place looks like a 1950s diner dropped into a pink dream. Everything is pink, the booths, walls, decorations, even the little details around the restaurant. The pink and white combination gives the whole place this fun, almost surreal look. It feels like stepping into a classic diner, just turned all the way up. Our waitress was incredibly warm and attentive too, always checking on us with a smile and making us feel welcome. I ordered the Benedict, and wow... what a way to finally make it here. Two perfectly poached eggs with meat on an English muffin, covered in hollandaise and finished with cilantro and jalapeños. The hollandaise was rich, creamy, and buttery, with that slight tang that makes it so good with the egg yolk. Once the yolk broke and mixed into the sauce, everything became even richer and silkier. Then the jalapeño came through with this fresh, bright heat. Not enough to overpower anything, just enough to wake up all the creamy flavors. The cilantro added another little pop of freshness. The plating looked beautiful, but the flavor was what really sold me. Rich, creamy, buttery, spicy, fresh... every bite had something going on. Definitely worth the wait to finally get here. read more
I came back to show my support again! I originally planned to dine in, but decided to grab my breakfast to go instead. I definitely wanted to give a shoutout to Julissa, according to my receipt. She was so welcoming, friendly, and provided that genuine, all around great customer service that you don't come across as often these days. I really appreciated her positive energy and hospitality. The breakfast was solid and hit the spot. It's always nice when good food comes with great service! read more
The story about how this restaurant came about is compelling enough to wanna visit immediately. (Link below) My goddaughter and I went on a Wednesday morning after the breakfast rush because we wanted to take our time. The waitress was warm and welcoming and she was so cute dressed in her pink uniform. My goddaughter ordered the Cajun salmon with grits and their sweet peach iced tea. I ordered the egg white omelette with spinach, onion, and feta cheese served up with their diced potatoes along with a pumpkin oat milk latte. My niece was generous enough to let me taste her breakfast. OMG! The salmon and grits is a flavor bomb you will not soon forget. And the salmon was cooked to perfection. My niece thought it was a little heavy-handed on the creamy sauce, so she will order it with a little less next time but she savored every single bite. I'm watching my calories right now and that egg white omelette hit the spot. They do not skimp on that feta cheese. And those potatoes were hot and crispy just the way I like them. The sweet peach iced tea is so darn good it's worth making a special stop just to pick one up on your way to wherever you're going. As for the latte, it was just ok. For the price I would forgo the fancy glass cup in favor of a large mug. I need my caffeine. But, honestly, I should've ordered one of their specialty tea drinks because the TEA is where they shine. Their lunch and dinner menus look incredible as well. I really look forward to trying more of their delicious food. Next time I will order the biscuits and gravy with eggs for breakfast. And, most definitely get my own sweet peach iced tea. Do not hesitate to bring your family and friends. And make sure they're the type that like to share. This way you know what you're gonna order next time. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. See you soon! https://blockclubchicago.org/2024/08/28/black-family-opens-stussys-diner-in-bridgeport-45-years-after-racist-attack-outside-same-spot/ read more

This is a high energy Frequent visited breakfast place in the Chicago area. Parking is limited where you can park on the street. Loved the decor and the outfits of the staff. They have a very extensive menu they give you a paper menu upon your request. They offer a bring your own beverage with a fee. However, the fee was pretty large fee for bringing your own bottle of champagne. It's $20. I don't know where it's stated that the cost is that much on Yelp or online. They do also include the tip in your order so be mindful so you're not double tipping unless you have excellent service. it took a while for the food to come out and it also took an extra long period of time for the waitress to take our order. Some of the items on the menu are not fresh. I had the chicken and waffles which is one of their staple items. The waffles were good. However, the chicken was not that great. It came with the hot honey was basically hot sauce mixed with a little syrup in a dash of honey. It's a staple to try came for the hype of it, but the food was not that spectacular. It depends on what you're looking for. read more

Smaller intimate diner with good food. Street parking available. We were pointed to a seat and given water about 6-8 minutes later. Waiter came back after another 10-12 minutes to take our order. Food came out quicker than the wait was to be serviced...... the food on the other hand was really good. The pancakes weren't too sweet and the seasonings were spot on. My cousin preferred the grit's sauce on the side as it was overwhelming, note that. Food better than service. Automatic gratuity for tables 3 or more. read more
Today, I wrapped up my year-long Brunch Challenge at Stussy's Diner in Bridgeport on Chicago's South Side. The spot radiates a playful retro vibe with its striking pink and green decor--possibly paying homage to the AKA sorority. Although the restaurant doesn't currently have reservations, we were greeted and seated right away. The menu boasted American and comfort food classics, including steak and eggs, salmon and grits, chicken and waffles and omelettes and flights of french toast. The husband and I decided to get the Southwestern Omelette, Salmon Croquettes and a side of grits with cajun cream sauce, and along with a side of bacon and pancakes. The food was good, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars. The grits was the only thing that was missed the mark for me. Overall, Stussy's Diner is a delightful place for brunch with friends. read more
This place is too freakin cute, love it! Definitely old school diner vibes but Pink! I am so glad we decided to experience Stussy's. We showed up at the perfect time because there were plenty of seats available. Although, our coffee came out pretty quickly and more coffee, service was a little slow. I ordered the grilled salmon with grits and pancakes on the side, the fish and grits were a little disappointing. My grits weren't the most creamy and the sauce was a bit overwhelming. The pancakes were really good and fluffy, which most ppl miss but Stussy's got it right. My friend ordered the pink pancakes and it looked overwhelming sweet but it was not! It was really good and had a great balance out sweetness. I wish I ordered for myself. Definitely someplace I would give another try! read more

I would give them a 3.75. Overall it was decent. The food was good, I had the creole salmon and grits. I feel like my grits were a little salty. The French toast was real good though. The service wasn't bad. Our waitress was friendly. The ambiance was cute. There floors did need a light tough up. read more
I went at 430-5pm on a Sunday and was seated immediately. Our server was great and very attentive. The menu had something for everyone. athe food came out quickly and was piping hot. The taste on all the meals was great. Overall really good experience. Also that late in the day on a Sunday parking was easy which is always a good thing in Chicago. read more

I love the stylish art in the restaurant along with how it is set up . It used to be a town diner before it turned into pink palace . The food was your average . I had salmon croquettes , grits , toast and eggs and it was alright. The service was alright also , came to the table 3 times, to take the order, refill the water, and take the bill. I may revisit. read more

Finally got around to coming here and it did not disappoint. Service was great. Food was delicious. The price was pretty good too. Inside was decorated so pretty and the plating of everything was really nice too. They give a very generous amount of salmon and grits. Their pancakes were crispy and fluffy at the same time. Skillet was very good. Everything tasted the fresh. Peach cobbler iced tea was my favorite. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing on a 90 degree day in Chicago. read more

had high hopes for Stüssy's Diner in Chicago, but my Mother's Day visit was a huge letdown. We were a group of three and were added to the waitlist--no problem there. The issue came when, after confirming we were still waiting, our table was given away to a smaller party that arrived after us. They were two people, yet they got a booth meant for us given we were ahead of them. We were then crammed into a smaller booth It felt unfair and dismissive. From what I observed, we were the only half Black-Latina group in the diner that day, but we did not look the part. It's hard not to feel like our race or appearance played a role in how we were treated--especially when others were seated faster and treated better. Once seated, service was painfully slow. It took 15 minutes to get water, they gave everyone in the restaurant water with ice but my table, yet we remained clam and respectful and another 15 just to place our order. Our server kept getting distracted, looking at other tables while we spoke, and even after repeating our order multiple times, it still came out wrong. To make it worse, one of the plates had a hair in the food. I have a couple pictures of everyone around us with water with ice but ours, we asked for ice and they gave us a cup to leave with it. I came in excited to celebrate Mother's Day, but instead left feeling disrespected, disappointed, and invisible. I expected better from such a well-known spot. read more

We went during Restaurant Week 2026. Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing! I had the Chicken Pot Pie, my Mom had the Chicken and Waffles Kabob. Both were served hot and very flavorful. Our server was attentive and sweet. We made reservations so there wasn't a wait. We will definitely return. read more
The ambience of the restaurant was very nice. I really enjoyed the very girly pink colors. The menu was very in depth had a lot of different options. One of my friends enjoyed the Ramen noodles with the Beria and I had a hamburger in a a lemonade lavender lemonade I will be back again. read more
Very Instagramable! Teens would approve. Super cute! Adorable decor! Friendly service. Every item on the menu that we tried was delicious! Huge Portions We recommend: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Not super sweet. Just right. I mean perfection. Salmon Avocado Toast- it's almost a lox bagel without the cream cheese add avocado. Sooooo yummy with a splash of balsamic vinegar. The salmon and grits bowl was the best thing we had. Huge portion of well seasoned salmon and a huge bowl of flavorful grits. Chicken sausage- it was ok a little sweet for me Eggs- can't go wrong with eggs The white tea. We got the pot of tea. So cute. Highly recommend!! I will be back with my daughter. read more

I didn't see anything that said that they were cashless when I went a couple of weekends ago for the first time. Seating is first come first serve.
