I was looking for a good place (that I have never been to) for brunch on a Saturday morning. This…read moreplace definitely fit the bill. Great place to go on Broadway in the Lakeview neighborhood. The food was also very good too. I ended up getting a Gypsy skillet, one of my go-to brunch items. It came out nice and hot and plentiful. It did taste freshly made with melted cheese and the eggs were oh so good. There were also mushrooms, ham, onions, and peppers on a bed of potatoes. I had sourdough bread which was tasty and nicely toasted. Definitely recommended if you want something delicious and fulfilling....and they also have a full menu for lunch and what looks like a nice variety of milkshakes too. Will be back for sure!

So many yummy veggies & the bun was perfect. My friend loved her vegan Mac & cheese. Also, the cookie dough shake was amazing. A little pricy at $9. Super friendly service. Cute, clean place. The whole menu is vegan & vegetarian options. Lots of comfort foods. It's like heaven for people with limited choices at other places. I can't wait to come back.

Friendly, willing to put through brunch menu orders a few minutes before the end and just welcoming. I've often gone to get takeout here because they have so much food I have to get it for home! I nearly always get a drink while I wait. They make great cocktails and their shakes are to die for. Never a bad experience here. I even enjoy watching the vintage movies from my childhood on old VHS tapes!

Get your kicks on Route 66 #Chicago #flyforfood #Yelpfriends…read more OMG! I must say the midwest chefs are accustomed to feeding hungry farmers and truckers I think. The portions of each menu item is HUGE. Be prepared to wait in line for a table. No reservations taken, you just wait your turn in that line.... Food is actually pretty darn good. Rolls and fruit are complimentary. Their home made jelly and marmalade is absolutely delicious (OK, full disclosure: I grabbed a couple containers of the marmalade and carried them back home to Honolulu, I should have purchased their jar of marmalade which I didn't know they had. It was after and as I walked out of the Establishment that I noticed it. I shared the Denver Omelet and it was a good thing because that meal was HUGE. Looking at the food our traveling companions ordered only confirmed the decision to share the meal was the right thing to do. OH that darned Pecan Roll, recommended by our waiter was delicious and let me just say one bite curbed my sweet craving. Iconic Lou Mitchell's has been there for over 100 years. There is something to be said about an establishment in business for a century. AND the big thing? Close to the start of Route 66..... A must try and a must visit if you are in Chicago, let alone in the area

Burrito was cooked fast and a lot of steak on the inside. Very tasty and came with a good sauce. Monte cristo was alright a little soggy but the taste was the there. Service was great, small staff but they were nice and efficient. Not a lot of seating but it is clean and smells good. A good late night spot.

You could almost lean over the counter and touch the grill. 3 hispanic guys working god knows how long hours here. Again, economic menu, but has breakfast options + sandwiches, so more than enough. Dirt-cheap pricing for a place in a happening part of the city. And it's good too. They cook your food in about 5 seconds. It's all worth it and has some quality, but any vestige of a Nighthawks type late night diner vibe is more gone than the 10 cent hamburger.

We did not have to wait long for the plates to hit the table. Eggs were light, buttery, and fluffy. Their French toast was also fluffy and oh-so good. The bacon was done well: thin cut and crunchy. This place was a regular for my son, and I can see why. We will be coming back for more.

I loved my burger on sourdough and our server "Shoe" was excellent! Very attentive and friendly despite the obnoxiousness that they're known for. I had forgotten that all the burgers come with two patties. It's a lot of meat, but fresh and with your choice of cheese and several variations. Burgers and chicken tenders/sandwiches is basically it (a few salads) but if you like a good burger you should like it. And they sang to me on my birthday and comped the tiny sundae pictured. There were 3 birthdays in the hour we were there! It's a fun place.

It's got the same old booths and the same old diner counter and the same old neon sign on the back wall. I got the crispy spicy chicken sandwich and my friend got the chicken fried steak. We went on a Tuesday and they do half off wings, so we got bbq wings. Everything was awesome. The sweet potato fries were really good. The sandwich was good. The steak was great. The wings were crispy and the sauce was delicious. On the way out I got the cookie dough peanut butter shake to go because honestly, you have to. So glad to visit this local treasure again. I'll be back!

Frances and another amazing woman (I caught her name but I am now forgetting, sorry!) always greet my kids with a smile and conversation. The entire staff is incredibly kind especially Mimi. A quick story: my toddler was getting restless and I do my best to respect other patrons so I took him outside briefly. When we came back he was still restless but Frances walked him behind the bar and got him some additional coloring books. They are incredibly busy but they will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The food is awesome as well. So many great options and it's quick to your table but not rushed.

Because no way did we eat at the same place. WOW! It's only been a handful of times that I've had the urge to write a review while I'm still eating because of how amazing the experience is. The ambiance is bustling and will FOR SURE keep you awake as you fill your belly. And the burger? It's not just a burger, it's culinary art and a full on flavor experience. I was full well before my plate was empty, but I simply could not imagine reheating any part of it later. The egg was cooked to sunny-side perfection, and every bite was ridiculous. It's bar-style, so the fries came out first, hot and paired with a garlic aioli that absolutely did what it needed to do. Everyone moves with purpose. The food, the service, the atmosphere--this place is a well-oiled machine of greatness. 1000/10. Will absolutely be back.

So kind! Server came by and chatted with us, was very personable and sweet. Don't even get me started on the food. We grabbed a late breakfast, and it hit the spot, nail on the head. French toast was nice and eggy, pancakes fluffy, bacon crisp. The steak and eggs were fire. We didn't see a breakfast burrito on the menu, but we asked, and they delivered. It was a solid burrito too. After bringing out my French toast special, as I started to dig in, the server came by and threw an extra fresh piece of bacon on my plate. So awesome! Cash only so come prepared. We will be back soon!
