I love Tweet!! I've been there 3 times, and it is such a great place. Its great for vegetarians or someone who just wants to eat some great fresh food. The last time I went I ordered the crabcake sandwich with bacon and avacodo. It was $12 and came with a wonderful side salad and a very large portion of fresh fruit including pinapple, oranges, blackberries, strawberries, and some others. The presentation was so pretty I took pictures and texted it to my friends to make them jealous. Another time I went there I ordered the vegetarian ruben and was blown away by how great it was. The bloody marys are good, but kinda pricey... But most places in the city charge $8 or 9 for them anyways. Love this place read more

This place was one of my favorites of our recent Chicago trip. After reading all the great Yelp reviews, it was stop #1 on our first day there. We walked in and were seated immediately, even though the restaurant appeared full. The hostess was really nice. Everyone that was in the place seemed happy - lots of laughing people and cute babies. The menu is a bit overwhelming, but EVERYTHING sounded and looked delicious. Within about five seconds of sitting down, a guy approached our table with a smile and a "WHO WANTS COFFEE?!" (three of the four of us did). Intelligentsia, I love you. I got the country benedict (I think that's what it was called?) - eggs benedict on biscuits instead of English muffins and with sausage gravy instead of hollandaise. Incredible. Our friends both got the avocado eggs benedict, and my husband got the biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious - all was seasoned well, and the hash browns were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I loved that the server brought our fruit cups out before the breakfast was served. Such a nice touch! I'm not vegetarian/vegan/g-f, but I have a lot of friends that are and I always appreciate and make a note of places that have options for those that are on diets or have allergies or whatever. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the amount of food that you get. Thanks, Tweet! I will definitely be recommending you to future Chicago-goers from down south. read more

Absolutely in LOVE with this brunch spot! I had eaten here a few years ago and could never remember the name or location- until it came to my mind the other day! The gluten free option is a must these days and they definitely have oversuceeded in making all menu items delicious and flavorful! I order the GF california egg bendeict- with avocado, tomato. SO GOOD & fresh!! Not to mention, they give you a "treat" as soon as you sit down (that went so well with my tea), and most orders come with fruit and hashbrowns. I love the decor- my tea set brought me back to "tea parties" at my grandmas. I highly reccomend- you will keep coming back to try every food item on the menu! read more

Free coffee, the dessert/bread they serve for free is amazing but the best part is they have gluten free meals. Big portion sizes and the price is reasonable. This is my fave brunch place! Plus the staff here is awesome and service is great!!! Plus plus! read more

First, CASH only! ATM is available inside but it's a small detail that I wish we known prior to coming. This place is completely deserving of 5 stars if only because of how insanely kid friendly it is. Huge, huge, HUGE bonus for that -- placemat for table, a personal basket full of toys & books, paper mat for under the high chair for those inevitable dropped food bits, complimentary bowl of sliced bananas with children's utensil and a covered cup of water. That's so helpful & I love them for that. We went on a late Tuesday morning so it was calm. Coffee & food all arrived quickly and the staff was super attentive & friendly. Definitely going for burrito next time and giving any of those cocktail drinks a shot next time. read more

Glad I finally came after being in the neighborhood so long. The staff was very hard working and welcoming. The food was reasonably priced, especially for how much you get. The complimentary crumble to start was appreciated :-) read more

I visited Tweet about 2 hours after I got off a Southwest flight to Midway. I may have been delirious because I don't sleep well before early morning flights, but I digress. As soon as we entered we were seated and service moved quickly. I ordered the french toast and the other two people in our party did as well. It seemed like the server had hardly left for the kitchen by the time the food came out. I don't think I've ever gotten food that quickly in a restaurant! The french toast was huge and the sides were all organic or free-range. The food was delicious and not expensive at all. My bf and I had mimosas with our meal and I'm pretty sure it was just champagne with a splash of orange juice. I can't wait to get back to Chicago for another great brunch. read more

Weee. Fun atmosphere, beautiful day. Delicious treats! Bring your sweet tooth. There is plenty of savory too if you are watching a our carb intake. read more

I live in the area and go to Tweet for brunch multiple times a week and have literally never had a single bad experience. The staff are the most friendly and efficient I have ever seen, and the food is consistently fresh, quick and delicious. To top it off, everyone there seems to love their job, the employees are treated very well, and much of their merchandise (mugs, tshirts, etc) goes to benefit awesome causes. I really couldn't recommend this place enough. Best brunch you'll experience in Chicago. read more

I've been to Tweet numerous times (with many more visits to come). Myself and breakfast/brunch mates have always been pleased with our food and service.

Tweet - Eggs Florentine - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I think that this had to be THE BEST breakfast I've had in years!!! ( and that's including mom's!!) i don't know what the other people were talking about...we walked right in and were seated promptly!!!! they were so nice and our waitress was ALWAYS smiling (not in an annoying way!) and ready to see what we needed!!! Our glasses were always full! and the amount of food you receive is AMAZING!!! it was soooooooooooo good, it made me wanna slap my mama(lol)!!! Plus the prices were VERY resonable!!!! :) read more

Perfect food, perfect location and perfect coffee. Went here on July 4th and still got seated without getting a reservation. They served complimentary coffee cakes (not sure if it was only a holiday thing) I ordered the poached eggs on English muffin with crab cakes and hollandaise sauce. Who would think that sea food would go so well with breakfast eggs! I would've given five stars if we had been made aware that it was cash-only and there were no clear signs. I would definitely again to try their other interesting items on the menu. read more

would give Tweet 2.5 stars. cute setting, decent service - went to celebrate birthday brunch. the cutest fruit cup, a scrumptious (enormous) slice of red velvet cake with pecans, and a formidable drink line-up (delicious mimosas, gramosas, bellinis and full bloody mary selection) were the only memorable items, otherwise an unexpectedly lackluster experience (below): sampled the caprese and Havarti omelettes, both of which were surprisingly bland, essentially massive egg omelettes with minimal filling. would not re-order. a friend ordered the choc chip pancakes, which ended up being literally pancakes with some chips sparsely scattered on top - the only time I've ever seen it not mixed in the batter. another friend ordered the eggs benedict, which came out swimming in an unappealing, mysteriously orange-ish hollandaise. read more

Tweet is a grungy, straight up, quintessential brunch spot. The list is loooong, so take your time sifting through it. I wouldn't say they do anything particularly unique or risky with their brunch dishes, but sometimes you want all the basic brunch items possible. Here's your place! read more

The perfect brunch! Friendly crew, smooth operations, and good, healthy food. Proper plates & cutlery (paper & plastic is so bad for mother nature) & not too cold inside (air conditioning can be such a curse) made the fifth star well deserved! read more

The food was filling. I personally didn't think the food was that good, but I be been called picky. the experience was great overall. The greeter even gave us cake as first timers. I had a numero seis which is a steak burrito. And pancakes. They were alright. Nothing to praise but it was filling and not very expensive. I'd go back to try other things. read more

Tweet is an adorable little brunch/lunch spot not too far from Wrigleyville. The man friend and I liked the name and decided to check it out to grab some healthy grub. Well, there's definitely healthy stuff on the menu....but there's some not-so-healthy-but-too-tempting-to-say-no-to items. We started off with a really healthy plate of yummy beer battered onion rings. They were fantastic...and the waitress understood our love for bbq sauce with just about everything, so she won points. He had the very manly "Her Burger" and thouroughly enjoyed it, as well as the fries. My turkey burger was the best darn turkey burger I've ever had...there were veggies in the patty! The spices were so good, that I gobble gobbled it up...and my "side salad" consisted of the entire plate! The desserts look delicious, the brunch items that were escorted past us made my mouth water, and the bloody marys look like they would past my BM test! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the windy city! read more

I had never heard of Tweet before a friend asked to meet me there for a somewhat business-y brunch last weekend. At first, I wasn't that excited to try yet another trendy breakfast place, but I'm glad she convinced me to take the plunge. The service was fast and friendly, the menu was packed with delicious options, and my meal was really great. I ended up trying the Country Benedict - kinda like normal Eggs Benedict, except with a biscuit instead of an English muffin, and with country gravy instead of hollandaise. Overall, I was very happy, and will be returning. The only thing that detracted from the experience was that Tweet is cash only, something that they really should note on the front page of their (poorly designed) website, or at least in a conspicuous spot on the menu. They might have had a sign somewhere in the restaurant, but I didn't notice it, and it was really embarrassing to have to borrow money from my friend at the end of the meal. That's not a huge problem, however - next time I'll know better, and there WILL be a next time! read more

Like Tweet really needs another review (and from a suburban interloper, no less!). ;) Except...except it managed an amazing feat. A friend used to live not far away, and suggested we go here for brunch one weekday morning. This place managed to get busy, yet still seem relaxing and inviting -- we were, in fact, invited to take our time paying up after we'd clearly finished eating. We weren't rushed out the door so they could turn over the table. Nice. It was pretty late in the morning, so the place was starting to fill up with lunch traffic. Still, we found street parking (metered) easily, and we were seated fairly quickly. While waiting for our table, I fell in love. Not with my friend (although she's awesome); with the display of beautiful, delicate teacups and saucers in the glass case underneath the register. You may be forgiven for missing those if you're too busy focusing on the desserts above; those looked fabulous, too. But those cups! So adorable. None of them matched; at least, that I could see. And that's what made them so charming. When I ordered hot tea, our server brought me one of those beautiful little cups and saucers, and then brought a lovely wooden box full of tea over for me to pick out my own. All Mighty Leaf, which I appreciated -- as a big tea fan, I really get tired of places that only serve the bagged pencil shavings known as Lipton. And then the server brought a lovely little teapot full of hot water, asked if I needed cream or sugar, and proceeded to bring out our selected brunch dishes shortly thereafter. The food was fantastic. My friend really loved the veggie biscuits and gravy. It's one of her favorite things there. I tried the country Benedict, which is one of their house specialties. I can confidently say that both the sausage-full and sausage-less gravies were flavorful and nice; not bland or pasty, like some can be. And dessert! We didn't have room for it, but we couldn't resist a slice of carrot cake, which we took to go. Later on, we split it. Moist, light, flavorful -- the veritable queen of carrot cakes. NOM. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It's near a bunch of my other favorite places on Argyle and I didn't realize this nice restaurant was so close. Parking on Sheridan near here is pretty ample so it's not too difficult to find. There can be a bit of a wait although the tables are tight inside. When you get seated, they bring a plate of corn cake to your table. The menu selections seem pretty good. We narrowed down our choices and then asked our server for recommendations. He gave us a good variety of selections and I went with the chilaquiles and chorizo while my friend got the arepas, which are their breakfast corn cakes, but they were pretty plain. My chilaquiles were ok but there was very little chorizo and the taste was pretty much the same in every bite since there were so many soaked tortilla chips. While we waited for our main dishes, they brought out our fruit cups, which had good variety and was pretty good quality. The ambience is nice there but quite loud. I wouldn't try to come visit again but I'm willing to accept getting dragged back. read more

This place has almost everything a brunch-goer wants: a massive menu of diverse dishes friendly to all diets, huge portion sizes at low prices, good free flowing coffee, cheap drinks that are heavily alcoholic, outdoor seating, a friendly and fun wait staff, a bar and outdoor waiting area with tons of games to keep you occupied (with a large dispenser of their free coffee). But there are a couple of minor demerits. The corn arepas is unique and worth ordering, and the omelettes are certainly acceptable. The "Bib Im Bop" is expressly not authentic bibimbap. Although it wasn't necessarily bad, having had so many delicious, authentic bibimbaps around the city, I'd go with something else next time. The Santa Fe special - poached eggs on black bean patties with hash browns and tasty homemade salsa - is like everything here listed, a large portion of a unique meal that won't actually blow your little brunch mind. I'd also warn you again about the highly alcoholic drinks. Some may favor this, but two of our friends found the Rum Fizz drink (whatever it was actually called) undrinkable - the John Daly went down much more easily. While the food quality is definitely not going to compete with the top-tier brunch places in Chicago, it's certainly above average. Even though I rank food taste much higher than all other aspects of a restaurant experience, the massive and diverse menu and bevvy of other great qualities this place has to offer is enough to entice me back. read more

I came here for lunch one day and had the breakfast burrito with avocado, egg, and cheese. It was really good. The staff were very nice and polite so I decided to bring my wife and the kids back for breakfast. The owner and waitstaff remembered me and that means something in the world we live in today. I think people are so much in a rush that your just a number in most places. We had a good waitress who was very upbeat and offered good suggestions off the menu. They also have books and coloring for the kids which is nice. This place is a throwback of neighborhood places back when Chicago was more artsy. Genuine people, laid-back, no-one trying to impress or dress fancy. Oh yeah, and the food was good. Pancakes were the best next to Original Pancake House. I have not had pancakes that can touch OPH yet. My wife had eggs Benedict that was great and the kids got bacon and sausage that they devoured so I guess they loved it. Overall we loved Tweet and would definitely go back. read more

Yes this place is a pain in the ass when it comes to parking but if you are lucky you can find a space in their very small lot in the back. The bad news was that we had to wait 45 min-1 hour for brunch but the good news is that they are connected to a bar (Big Chicks) and they serve free coffee and tea while you wait. I had the Country Benedict and it was amazing. This is the type of creative thinking I like. They essentially start with an Eggs Benedict concept but instead of ham they use sausage and instead of hollandaise sauce they smothered it in Sausage Gravy. I mixed it all together with my hashbrowns and it was exactly what I needed. The other nice things are that they serve you a cup of fruit while you are waiting and the service was excellent. My girlfriend has the regular eggs benedict but the hollandaise tasted a little weird to me. Everything else I saw looked good. I will go back when I feel like dealing with the parking / wait issues. read more

I die for Tweet's brunch. Ask for Janada...she's my favorite person ever. Amazing amazing brunch...huge menu, organic, local ingredients. HUGE portions. Some of my faves: Chilaquiles, Arepas, Any and all breakfast burritos, french toast, bacon, and on and on and on. So basically everything. mmmm also their bloody marys. Oh, and bring cash...no credit cards. read more

Tweet is a really nice spot that for some reason I often overlook. I had been here once before with my mom and had a good experience, although our food took forever. I let that go due to the place being really busy, which really shouldn't matter. The food was very good and the service was friendly and Tweet has killer bloody mary's of various kinds in huge tiki glasses. The first time I went I had the danish blue cheese omelet. It was tasty but a bit overpowering - I should have known based on the cheese. I did like the fact that when you sit down you get two small pieces of delicious coffee cake to tie you over. You also get a fresh fruit cup or fruit compote (actual cooked fruit, not that rooty tooty fresh and fruity iHop compote crap). The second time around my wife and I went on a Saturday morning and only had to wait about 20 minutes. We were directed to the free coffee (a nice bonus for waiting customers) or the bar that's connected called 'Big Chicks.' We really wanted a bloody mary (all the drinks with liquor come from Big Chicks) so we each got one made with siracha. We chatted up the bartender and sucked down these ridiculously tasty and huge bloody's. They are a bit pricey at $7.50 but they are worth it. I do need to mention that the owner/hostess is very very friendly and accommodating. She really does a little bit of everything, from checking people in at the desk to seating people to taking checks to cleaning tables and asking people how their food is. Being greeted so warmly is a nice way to start off your meal. Since it was such a nice day we sat outside and ordered the house made corned beef hash and eggs and some scrambled egss withe their house salad and house dressing. We also got some compote this time, which was a nice surprise. Chunks of cooked fruit had a nice flavor and texture. The food itself did take a long time and it seems that the kitchen is a bit slow. However, a couple that came in 20 mins after us got their food shortly after ours so perhaps it was our server. I had the same guy the first time I came to Tweet, so maybe he's slow. A nice guy and attentive, perhaps he just leaves the food in the kitchen too long. The food was really excellent and I scarfed down my hash and eggs. My wife really enjoyed my breakfast as well and was impressed with the house dressing used for the salad. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here with the nice October weather and are looking forward to coming back soon. Tweet could end up being our regular breakfast/brunch spot if the food stays consistently good and we never have to wait that long for a table. read more

Tweet, let's eat, for real! Tweet is a great local gem, it has good service, large portions a social atmosphere. it's a 10 minute walk from my front door- so perhaps I'm partial, but you honestly can't go wrong here with their huge menu. Just remember folks... they're Cash only! read more

Cash only. Good coffee. Matron runs the place with no dilly dally. Hollandaise on the Benedict was smooth but lacked the paprika of life. Great menu with something for everybody. Veggie biscuits and gravy good too. Would have to agree with previous reviews that mention lack of a salty zest. read more

Tweet - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tweet is one of my favorite restaurants to eat breakfast at in the city. The hungry man burrito and steak burrito are the best breakfast burritos that I've ever had. They also have really good bloody Mary's, There's 4-5 options that you can choose from. The only downside is that they don't deliver and are cash only. read more

I love tweet. It's close to home, but I would travel far for their biscuits and gravy because they make it vegetarian. I know they use the morning start sausage patties, but I don't care, it's still amazing. Staff is overly friendly, and Michelle the owner is amazing. Dollar burgers on Mondays, free buffet on Sundays!! read more

This place is consistent. Actually, that's not true. This place has improved, when they didn't need improving. How many restaurants actually improve with age? Not too many that I've experienced. So this ranks as one of my favorite brunch spots. I crave their their crabcake sandwich. I like mine with avocado no bacon (so I don't feel like a piggy) on the croissant (oink oink). As soon as you sit down you're greated by a friendly (not annoying friendly) server who seems genuinely happy to be there. Refreshing. He or she will first bring you coffee and a small piece of coffee cake. I am a fan of the amuse bouche, anything free is always a plus!! Brunch comes with your choice of fresh fruit or the compote. But it doesn't really matter if you can't decide, because if you order the compote you'll still get a heaping helping of fresh fruit on your plate anyway. Another plus to this breakfast establishment is that they are connected to Big Chicks and during breakfast hours, if Tweet has a wait time for a table, just head next door and enjoy their complimentary coffee, sit and talk or enjoy the artwork. So, my thoughts in a nutshell: Happy staff, delicious food in generous portions served in a hip setting. Always a good choice. read more

As an out of towner, it can be hard to find a great breakfast spot. It was nice to be in a locals spot away from the madness of Michigan Ave. We were visiting from LA last weekend and drove a few minutes up the lake to Tweet. The hostesses and servers were extra nice (which is kind of shocking for me being from LA). We showed up a little past noon and only had to wait around 5-10 minutes. The coffee cake slice lived up to the rep. I ordered one of the specials. Arepa? It was a mix of corn cakes with scrambled eggs, avocados, tomatoes, red sauce, sour cream and sides of authentic tangy and spicy ground chorizo and black beans. This was a huge plate, but amazingly delicious. Tons of flavor and great ingredients. Tobin ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns. According to the biscuits and gravy expert, these were the best he'd ever had. Yes, from my two bites, they were unreal. Perfect tasting sausage within the creamy gravy and biscuits still flaky and buttery. A lot of the items o the menu are organic and sustainably farmed, so even if you pack on some extra pounds, at least you don't have random chemicals floating around your insides! I would love to stick around longer and order a mimosa, but we had a strict shopping schedule to stick to. Thanks yelpers for always helping out in my many travels! read more

After running a 10k early in the morning on a Sunday, my favorite part is pigging out so what's better than brunch? I found Tweet on yelp and a few friends and I decided to try it out. They give you cornbread while you wait and they are delicious! We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared. I really liked the Country Benedict. Sausage patty and egg on a biscuit with gravy. The hash browns that came with it were very crispy on the outside and those are my favorite kind!! The Caprese Omelet was nothing special and the side of skirt steak was just alright.. a little overcooked for me. Buttermilk pancakes were good! I don't like the fruit compote they give you on the side because it's very sweet and is doused in syrup.. if I go again, fruit please! Next time, I really want to try the Crabcakes Hollandaise! Tweet also has a large selection of breakfast beverages... Bellini's and Bloody Mary's! read more

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. So let me sum up what makes Tweet so wonderful by describing their fruit cup. This is the holy grail of fruit cups. Whereas most fruit cups are 3/4 melon (which I hate) and a few dry, white strawberries, this fruit cup has FRESH pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, and honeydew melon. I have never been so excited for a fruit cup. Which probably makes me really lame. The wait was about half an hour for two at noon on Sunday, but that was made much more pleasant because we took a table at the bar, grabbed a game of Battle Ship, and drank the free (!) coffee. (Only free when you're waiting, but what a nice way to wait.) Our table was ready right when all of my battleships had sunk. The staff is wonderful. They really work as a team, with one lady seating us, one guy bringing the water and coffee, another guy bringing the food, and the waitress taking our orders, checking on us, and bringing the check. Oftentimes this system can become disjointed and cause either too much service or too little. But it was flawlessly executed. The food: Very good. I categorically love breakfast food, so it doesn't take much to impress me. But they have a great selection, with classic favorites plus creative specials. The egg on the eggs benedict was poached perfectly: not the uber-runny egg that can turn your plate into egg soup. And their hash browns are my favorite hash browns ever. They're perfectly crispy, and made so that they're not piled very tall so that you get a lot of crisp in every bite. read more

AWESOME breakfast / brunch...simply awesome. Fresh ingredients, and very tasty food... I have not been there otherwise, but can't WAIT to try dinner there some time. Not too thrilled on the neighborhood at night though. read more

While comparing initial impressions at the bar with our free coffee, my friend and I noted that the hostess bore a striking resemblance to Paula Deen - starched white shirt, red lipstick, "honey"s, and all. We should have taken that as a portent of what was to come . . . The waitstaff was lovely. The fruit cup was impressive. The coffee refills came fast and furious. My friend loved her biscuit benedict, and my eggs florentine was fantastic . . . until about 5 minutes in, when we both looked up and realized that we felt like we were going to die. The hollendaise sauce was perfect and velvety - and must have had about a stick of butter in it. The hash browns had a beautiful crust across the top - and the slightly salty, savory warmth of another entire stick of butter. The complementary banana bread bites were some of the best I've ever had - but left telltale diamonds of oil on their doilie. By the ride home, we were both beginning to feel a little ill. And then a lot. When I mentioned to someone later in the afternoon that I'd been at Tweet for brunch, she told me how much she loved it there, but that she and her husband always had to plan to go straight home afterwards because it always made him sick . . . So yes, the room is cozy, the servers are sweet, and the food tastes amazing. And yes, people do go out to eat to enjoy things they'd never dream of eating if they saw how they were made. But with so many great brunch places in the city, do I really need to go back to one that requires post-meal convalescence? Thanks, but no thanks, Paula Deen. read more

Let me say this first: Tweet ONLY TAKES CASH. Now on to the food, I liked the diverse veggie menu. I ordered the vegetarian biscuits and gravy. It was very tasty, I was surprised. They served bottomless cups of coffee and we had a great server. My Bff also enjoyed her meal. The patron at the table next to us had a huge chicken salad and it looked delish. He said it was great. Tweet prices are a bit higher than other brunch spots, but not enough to avoid this spot. They have a bar, which is also a plus. There's ample street parking. If you don't know this area, it looks a little sketchy, but there's nothing to be scared of, go in and have a seat. read more

I want to give this place 3.5 stars b/c some of the entrees are "A-OK" like the ho-hum benedicts and omelets while some, like the country benedict (not heavy at all for gravy on a biscuit - yum!) and the light and fluffy french toast are "Yay!" The bloody mary is kind of pricey for what they give you, but solid on flavor. At least I get free coffee while I wait :) Service is always nice, but be patient because they get really busy read more

Chicagoans appear to have an obsession with brunch--there are hundreds of options in the city that all always seem to be busy during peak hours on the weekend. Tweet was no different on a Sunday morning around 11:00 am, as it was bustling with patrons all ready to get their brunch on. We put our name in with the host when we arrived, and we were told that there was complimentary coffee at the bar where we could grab a seat and choose any of their board games to play while we waited. Luckily for my boyfriend and I, we had about a five minute wait and we were promptly seated. Tweet has a very eclectic crowd, considering it's in the heart of Uptown, bordering on Andersonville and the Vietnamese strip that is off of the Red Line Argyle stop. Considering that Tweet serves as a brunch/lunch spot during the day and is a Lesbian Dive Bar (Big Chicks) at night, makes the venue all the more interesting. There is a lot of interesting art work and loud colors, so this may not be the best place to take your conservative grandma for a post-Church Sunday brunch. Regardless, I enjoyed my trip to Tweet thoroughly. Upon being seated, the waitress filled up fresh mugs of coffee for us and allowed us to peruse the menu as we happily munched on the complimentary coffee cake. The coffee cake was dense, moist, and delicious, pairing nicely with the coffee and whetting our appetite. We put in our order as follows: 1) Chilaquiles which are made with orn tortilla strips smothered in roasted homemade tomatillo sauce topped with scramble organic eggs, cheese, organic black beans, creme fraiche, onions and peppers. Try and say that one without taking a breath! There was A LOT going on with this dish, but I loved it, and I kicked it up a delicious notch by adding the chorizo. It was a little soupy at times due to the black beans, but luckily the tortilla strips served to soak up all the flavors of the dish. This dish was incredibly massive as they threw on slices of oranges and lemons for garnish (and height?), so I found myself working around these and picking out the bites of beans, chorizo, and egg. All in all, a great signature dish. 2) Side of Hash Browns: Considering this was my first trip to Tweet and I was unaware of the massive portion sizes, I decided to add on an order of Hash Browns. The hash browns were perfectly cooked--slightly browned and crispy on the outside, and moist and hot on the inside. I dowsed them in ketchup and happily munched my way through to a carb overload. 3) Country Benedict: Fluffy biscuit cut in half, country sausage patties, two poached organic eggs smothered in amazin' sausage gravy; hash browns: I just had a small bite of this off of my boyfriend's plate, but it was delicious. But c'mon, who are we kidding? Anything smothered with sausage gravy is delicious, and Tweet took that to the extreme. I would highly recommend this based on my one sole bite! 4) Fruit Cups: Both of the plates were served with a fresh fruit cup which was exactly what you'd expect--a few pieces of melon, a strawberry, a slice of a banana, and a few other mixed berries. Light, delicious, and fresh. The service was fantastic as well, our waitress was pleasant and friendly. She was incredibly enthusiastic about our choices throughout our time there, which was odd but welcome. I'll definitely add Tweet to my list of brunch places to revisit! read more

Service is at the forefront on any visit to Tweet. And I've been often enough to be sure it's not a fluke! Get here within the first 15 minutes of their opening on a Saturday or Sunday, otherwise you'll be in for a bit of a wait. Luckily there's free coffee in the adjacent bar of Big Chicks (along with stacks of vintage board games and a newspaper or two. Portions at Tweet are HUGE. Even by Chicago standards. Your brunch will start with a dainty square of seasonal cake. I steer clear of the Bloody Marys which are pretty but don't pack enough flavor and opt instead for their killer micheladas. For breakfast the biscuits and gravy are one of my go-to picks, serves with a side of their crispy hash browns if I'm feeling extra carby. Other favorites of our table are also the various Benedict's or the larger-than-your-arm breakfast burrito. For lunch I love to split the Cobb salad. It's too big to eat alone. Everyone on staff goes out of their way to accommodate you, as evidenced by the overflowing table side condiments and gracious greetings. There's also a huge separate menu for gluten free and lots of Where's Waldo and other fun for the kids. read more
