We'd headed West out of Chicago to visit Winston's Sausages - purveyors of the Irish meats my partner likes. Next door was this pancake house and we walked across the lot to get breakfast. Good choice! He had bacon and sausage on a sandwich. I had the country fried steak. We both had cups of tea. Everything was very good. The restaurant is clean, prices Chicago average, and service was both entertaining and attentive. When I asked our waitress for directions to the ladies room she gave a well rehearsed and funny response: straight ahead, don't turn left (kitchen) they'll put you to work; don't turn right (men's room), a man will scream. I'd like to have that country fried steak again today, but we're not in Chicago anymore.

All day breakfast close to the Airport. What more do you need? On this trip, I ordered the open-face roast beef sandwich, which I mistakenly assumed would be a beef manhattan. Imagine my surprise when I saw the fries. Regardless, the meal was decently priced and I was able to get a chocolate shake to go with it. If you are looking for a diner near the airport, go ahead and give this place a try.

Great place! My father and I had quite a long layover at midway airport so we walked about 15 min to this place. We got the chicken omelette and hash browns and it was much better than anything we found at the airport. The french toast was a delicious surprise. Friendly service as well.

Chicken omelette and hash brown

I ordered a chicken omelet from Uber Eats and it did not disappoint. The omelet was already packed with flavor and had a nice kick, but I took it up a level by adding jalapeños--game changer. The chicken was seasoned well, the eggs were fluffy, and the spice hit just right without being overwhelming. If you love spicy food, this is a must-try

Broken plate

They served my food on a plate with cracks in it. They're still using plates from decades ago while charging modern day prices. The food itself & coffee tasted off.

Great food, welcoming staff, a gem atmosphere for solo dining or with groups. I enjoyed a nice brunch that satisfied me and filled me up.

This location is very close to Midway airport which is the reason why I stopped in. Quick meal before or after a flight Unfortunately the foos isn't that great. Nothing was seasoned... like nothing. The service was pretty good but that varies from person to person. They even charged .50 for lemons for the water! Not sure why I didn't write a review the 1st time I came but this will remind me not to come back

While in Chicago we stopped in for breakfast, the food was pretty good no complaints. Service was polite and quick, the pricing was on par with what I'm used to. If I'm back in the Windy City I will check them out again!

Low review due to service was not good. They sat us & gave us water - walked away & we waited over 10 minutes. We had to ask for service - bad start. Lady looked annoyed that we asked for service - Ordered food & drinks - they came out quick. Food was bland - 4 of us and we had 3 skillets 2 were skirt steak for hubby and I which had little seasoning. I added lots of salt and pepper to add some kind of flavor w ketchup. My sister had avocado one tomato looked bad. Brother n law had special eggs - bacon - and French toast nothing special. Anyways nice amount of food but the skirt steak wasn't worth $16 per plate. We never been here before and more than likely won't be back.

Honestly, surprised by all of the high reviews. While the waitress was friendly (when she decided to stop by), my food was average and my copilot said it was the worst omelette he's ever had in his life. My meal was a basic breakfast with eggs, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, bacon, and toast. This is pretty tough to screw up and it did the job for my meal. The place is run down and beat up, just like any other small diner. The menu is way too large which makes you question what they can actually prepare well. Overall, there are too many breakfast spots in this area for us to give them another shot.

Three eggs over easy, corned beef hash and crispy hash browns With 2 small pancakes for bread substitute.

'Tony's Italian Beef' is spectacular. Located near in Chicago IL, getting there is a long drive…read morefor anyone who doesn't live in the area. But even 90 minutes in a car is worth it, especially if if you figure out a way to widen your journey, like combining Tony's with a trip to the Museum of Science and Industy: which is Fun & Food for the whole family. I admire 'Tony's Italian Beef' mostly because of how much I despise the many institutionalized versions of homegrown Chicago restaurants that are spreding everywhere like a virus as delicious as their food might be: - like 'Portillo's', with 112 locations and more than a dozen foid items on their menu, - or 'Buona Beef" with 36 locations and a menu of around 70 offerings, - or even 'AL's' (my favorite) owning a mere 5 stores and having just 10 or so menu listings. But 'Tony's Italian Beef' is not one of these. For them, here is here. That's it. If you aren't near Marquette Park on the South Side of Chicago, you're not anywhere near 'Tony's Italian Beef', because there is only one location. One of the best things about 'Tony's Italian Beef' is also one of the worst. The menu at 'Tony's...' is so big, and so many things look and smell so good, that once you arrive, and it's a long drive from everywhere, you start to wonder: "Maybe I should try one of these other delicious-looking items." I counted more than 120 menu choices when the listed variations are counted separately. 120! 'Tony's...' is way more than an Italian beef place. It offers chicken sandwiches, steak sandwiches, tamales, a full breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and Tony's McMuffins, fried fish, hot dogs, Polish sausages, salads, gyros, burgers, fries, shakes--the list goes on and on. Tony's owns the street it's on, with big signs offering big specials. It looks like its customer base consists of people who want a bucket of food for their family for cheap. I just don't understand why 'Tony's...' has so many options. I thought that it was due to insecurity. But after I watched customer after come in, saying "Hi" to everybody in the staff, and even giving one old guy behind the counter a hug, I realized that it was because everyone there knew everyone else, meaning that this was truly a neighborhood place. Both times that I was at 'Tony's...' everyone I saw had an Italian Beef Sandwich & Fries. There was one hot dog lover, but the tomatoes were huge and unripe, so they could hardly eat it without everything falling out. But nobody had a gyro, a burger, or a tamale. The first time at Tony's, I ordered the Italian beef, dipped heavy, with sweet peppers on top and giardiniera on the side. As a bonus, because the menu is so big, I got a tamale. I love traditional Chicago-style tamales, which are nothing like real Mexican tamales. I also got fries and a drink. My girlfriend got the chicken cutlet sandwich and a Greek salad, which made me want to throw her out the window. On my second visit, I ordered the same thing, except I got fries again. They were okay, but I've watched several videos in which people rave about Tony's hand-cut fries. They look delicious, and you can hear the crunch when people bite into them. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. The Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers was excellent, especially with some yummy au jus on the side to make things extra wet. The giardiniera was tasty and hot, though it needed another month or so to marinate and soften. And they offered mayonnaise on their Italian beef, which is just wrong. And finally, the drive to get there was simply too long. Would I come to Tony's again? Yes, if it was closer. But there's a Portillo's five minutes from my house, so unless I'm on a job that brings me closer to Marquette Park, I probably won't return.

This little hole in the wall has about 10 seats. The place was packed on a Tuesday night at 9:30…read more We had the Corleone and the big beef and sausage. And I'll tell you something. They melt in your mouth. These guys are fast and they don't mess around. You want great sandwich. You come here. The slogan is "when's the last time you had a great sandwich?" Today!!!

ONE LAST NUGGET…read more Always double-check your bag from Wendy's, in case there's a surprise nuggie at the bottom. It didn't take long after starting my new job to find the nearest distributor of chocolate Frosties. I hit up this location in Garfield Ridge for lunch every other week and the experiences have been generally pleasant, even though once they forgot a straw and on a separate visit they gave me no sauce :( You're greeted with a quartet of self-order kiosks when you walk in, but you can still place an order with a human being. I like the counter area they have by the windows facing Archer Ave. No ketchup pumps, which makes me think their condiments are behind the counter under lock & key. I recently tried the ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich ($11 for a combo) and to their credit, it was pretty damn hot. Halfway through eating, I started seeing little horizontal lines which made me wonder if I was hallucinating or just needed new contacts. I made ample use of their Coke freestyle machine, regardless. Saucy nuggs are great, you can get them standalone or as part of a 10pc combo ($10)--I recommend the spicy honey bbq, garlic parm, and buffalo. The $5 Biggie Bag is still the best deal in town, a Jr bacon cheese with fries, 4pc nuggets and drink for a crazy low price. * TL;DR * This is a solid Wendy's with a clean dining room and quick drive-thru. I've tried to avoid going out to lunch more than once a week, and when I do, I usually only drop $5.54 (the exact cost of a Biggie Bag + tax). You can find some nice deals online, like a free 10pc nuggets when you sign up for Wendy's rewards, or $2 off a premium combo. Tip: trying to turn left onto Archer is tricky, and though you could get lucky with the flow of cars, you're much better off exiting onto Laramie and using the traffic signal.
