If you would love to go out with your family or friends and feel part of a bigger community and feel welcomed and warm while having a great breakfast. This is the neighborhood joint for you. Michelle in her staff are top notch and have a great thing going in a warm welcoming atmosphere that we always look forward to. And the food you can never go wrong. It's somehow decadent and filling yet somehow always feels healthy and doesn't make you feel bloated and weighed down. read more

I have reviewed your restaurant before and gave you 5 stars! You're all fabulous and the food is great, service meticulous, prices are even better. I've been eating and drinking for several years now and it is always GREAT! Greatness however, comes from ownership, and management, but most importantly the kitchen!

Great menu of choices. Great food. Great service. And of course, good prices. Been going there for years. Now I have moved Out of Chicago, and I still go there and the waiters remember me. read more

Maybe the most enchanting breakfast joint I've ever been to. (And that's saying something!) We went on a Thursday afternoon (brunch time) and it wasn't busy. Perfect! We were sat quickly with a small dish of chocolate chip coffee cake (?). It was a sweet touch. The waiter was fun and bubbly, while being informative and helpful. He was also masked, which was much appreciated. We started with water and coffee. These were filled consistently and the coffee was great! I had the French Toast with syrup and a side of Chicken Sausage. My friend got the standard breakfast (eggs, meat, potato, etc.). The portions were big and filling--the value was great for the price. The French Toast was phenomenal and the fruit cup was surprisingly good. Most of the time, fruit cups are overripe and mushy. Not here! Everyone enjoyed their food. As a visitor to the city, I'd recommend this spot to anyone coming through. It had a fun and funky diner vibe with a ton of great food options (including gluten-free and vegetarian). Thanks for adding some color (and tasty food) to our trip! read more

Waitstaff were kind and pleasant and attentive. Top notch service. Food was absolutely amazing! I've never had french toast made with ciabatta and it was so good. A little on the more expensive side, but with the quality it's definitely worth it. Only downside is I didn't know they were cash only. They have an ATM there so I was fine, but I didn't love that, but I can respect it. read more

This breakfast and brunch spot was recommended by my Airbnb host. It was a short walk away with the Buttercup park close by. Dave Ramsey would be proud of this spot since it accepts cash only. In this day of mostly cashless society, it hasn't stopped diners from frequenting this place. For a Monday morning, it was busy. Before being seated, the hostess asked about my dietary restriction. Their menu covered a wide variety like gluten free and vegetarian among others. As I was seated, I was immediately served the complimentary coffee cake. Their iced coffee came with a carafe and tasted like cold brew which I like. I tried the new avocado toast on wheat with salad and fruit. I surely missed reading the parts of the reviews about huge portions. After the coffee cake and fruit, I was starting to feel full then the avocado toast and salad came. Packed the salad and the remaining iced coffee to go. Glad that I checked out this Uptown gem! read more

Love all the food options! And the staff is very friendly and quick to get to all their tables. It's nice that it's dog friendly outside. The only issue is the amount of wasps on the patio. I'm extremely allergic so we had to be moved indoors. But everyone was understanding. read more

Tweet is a classic breakfast restaurant that does simple right. I mean that as the highest compliment. I've never ordered a fish I didn't enjoy. The food is made with love and the owners are on sight ensuring each guest feels at home. When seated they'll start you off with complimentary homemade coffee cake. It's often warm and always delicious. I've dined in and ordered takeout. ..you can't go wrong. Tweet is definitely worth trying if you're within 20 mins. They are CASH ONLY so keep that in mind. I tend to forget, lol. Enjoy and let me know what you think. read more

After hearing great things about Tweet, my family and I decided to take my fiancé out for a birthday brunch there - and unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. While it was understandably busy on a Sunday morning, we were shuffled around the restaurant for 30 minutes waiting for our table, with each new person essentially telling us we were in their way. Once we were seated, we were immediately rushed into placing an order (with the added bonus of being called "honey" on loop), and though the food did come out pretty quickly, during our wait, I was forced into placing my coat on my lap as it was "too big" for the back of my chair (it's winter in Chicago...) and my purse was knocked onto the floor, several times. The food was solid but of course before our plates were even empty, our check was placed on the table, and upon paying, we were told "we're really busy today so you'll need to release this table." We spent longer waiting to eat than actually eating and felt more like herded cattle, than a group trying to celebrate a birthday. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Love the coffee cake opener that comes with every table and each customer. Endless menu with lots of vegan & vegetarian options.

really fun vibe with great service. some others commented food is a little under seasoned which i agree with but with a little added salt i was just fine! would return! read more

I enjoyed coming here with friends. We sat outside on the back patio. They do a job job of enforcing COVID safety precautions. They take everyone's temperature before they enter and provide hand sanitizer. The complimentary coffee cake was amazing, as was the fruit cup. I ordered a Denver omelette that tasted pretty good too. Overall, it was good for the price. The restaurant is cash only, but there is a atm on site if needed. read more

Love this place. SO many gluten free/veggie options. First of all you are greeted with a little pastry as you sit down (yes, they have a GF option). Then their menu is super extensive. Everything I have ever had was great. Our server was also very sweet! read more

"When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go." - Carol Burnett This quote defines my experience at Tweet. My dream is to find the best brunch place in Chicago, and this may take the cake. Speaking of cake, upon entering the facility the thoughtful wait staff provided us with some splendid, complimentary coffee cake, instantly lighting up my experience at the establishment. My darling had a tough time deciding between the world famous crab cakes and her personal favorite, Chilaquiles. The friendly staff helped her make up her mind and she was more than satisfied with her decision. I being the meat-lover I am opted for the Dirty Man (wifey thought that was pretty funny) burrito. WOW! This was an spiritual awakening and taste I'll cherish forever. I highly recommend tweet to any foodie, and if your looking for a little extra spark I recommend asking for Rex as your server, he was an awesome addition to the experience. Thanks Tweet! read more

It's one of these places that has charm and a menu to back it up. There's something there for everyone. I like the staff who is accommodating and, and, an overall welcoming place to eat and enjoy people around you. read more

the foods always amazing and Rex (our server) is just as nice when I'm here with my grandmother or my brunch friends. He's a true treasure. Keep him around for as long as you can. read more

Love this place! Cash only - there is an ATM on site. Part of the Big Chicks family, Tweet is one of my favorite brunch places in the city. Menu is substantial. And when I say substantial, there is something on the menu for EVERYone. Whatever you are in the mood for, whatever your diet preferences are; including allergies. You also get a TON of food. Coffee cake served to your table as a seating gift. With breakfast you get a choice of fruit cup or seasonal fruit choice (today was baked apples) and then you get your order on top of that! I really enjoyed the Crabcake Benedict. My brunch partner had the vegetarian Benedict. Both came with hashbrowns. Eggs were poached perfectly, hollandaise sauce was warm - all perfect. Prices do reflect uptown address. Service is amazing! Efficient, polite, fast. I adore everything about this place. read more

In addition to obviously liking the name, Tweet turned out to be a lovely little breakfast joint that was truly unique and fun. It's a cozy spot, and you should expect to be up close and personal with the folks you are sitting near. We had a party of five, which they crammed into a table for four with a chair on the end after a short wait at the bar. The bar was fun and had a lot of character - the bar tender was personable and friendly. The cocktails are served in cool glasses with fun flair. One thing I particularly enjoyed was that they have a real loudspeaker system so that you can comfortably hear when your table is called anywhere in the restaurant. Once we were seated, we were surprised to find a piece of some sort of spice cake on the table for each of us. What a warm and welcoming treat. It really set the mood for the meal. And it was delicious. We perused the absolutely insanely huge menu and placed our orders. Then we were again surprised when they brought each of us a fresh fruit cup to snack on while we waited. I of course ordered the country benedict. It was good, though I was slightly disappointed that one of the yolks was busted in my eggs. I asked for cheese on my hashbrowns and was somewhat disappointed to find they just slapped a slice of cheese on top. Still, the gravy was delicious, the sausage was delicious and I overall enjoyed my meal tremendously. Everyone else in our party did as well. We would definitely come back. One caution: Cash only. read more

Walked in and was greeted with a piece of sweet bread and sat immediately. The place was large and super funky. Lots of awesome fun decor. Very LGBTQ friendly. I was super happy to find so many vegan and vegetarian options on the menu that felt intentional and not put together as an after thought. Our server Braulio (I am so sorry if I misspelled that) was very helpful in helping me make a decision and steered me away from something I almost got. After ordering he offered to move us to a slightly larger table as we were at a high top and would be getting several plates. Our food came out very fast . I loved his recommendation and my friend inhaled her BLT. We left around 11:30 and they were definitely starting to get busy, so I'd recommend getting there not at a peak time if you can, my friend lives nearby and said on the weekends it can be a very long wait. read more

This place is must do if you're within 5 miles of the place. Everything is fantastic. I used to go there 3 mornings a week when I lived in the area. Outstanding. Corn beef hash & eggs are to die for! read more

Amazing service from my waiter Rex, great food, and quaint ambiance and vibe. Definitely check it out if you stumble across this gem!

Nice cozy place. I enjoy being asked my food preferences/allergies upon entry as you'll be served a pastry that changes daily. I order chilaquiles and a Bellini. The Bellini Peach was very tasty. The chilaquiles was very filling and lightweight, if that makes sense. I do understand people having spice thresholds due to health precautions but I may have anticipated to have more flavor but it just wasn't there. I'd like to return in the future. Enjoyed the service overall. read more

I just moved to Chicago from Seattle. I forgot how wonderfully nice people can be. Tweet surpasses even that. The food is great but the staff's attentiveness even eclipses that. I searched the area for a place and this came with rave reviews. I will be making this a regular stop! Thanks guys for making me feel at home. read more

Best brunch in chicago hands down!!!! Try the Bloody Mary with a beer back and the lox platter. You won't regret it.

OMG!!! So thankful we had the chance to eat at Tweets!! Everything from the service, to the drinks, to the food, was an experience that made me crave more! The ambiance is also notable with a lot of what appears to be art from local artists. Each member of my party of 5 ordered different dishes and no one was disappointed! I had the Holy Tamale and oh man I now understand why they call it the Holy Tamale!! It was a non-traditional tamale to say the least and the flavor still makes me long for the next opportunity I have to visit Chicago again! My spouse had the Crab Cakes Benedict which is completely out of her comfort zone but so excited to try something new and being left with the feeling of complete satisfaction! Overall this place was an A+++! I can't wait to visit Chicago again just so I can hit up Tweets!! read more

Everything was delicious and they even had a cool little basket filled with toys ready to play for children.. There is a bar that connects to the main dining area so you're able to order a drink at the bar while waiting to hear your name called. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Chicago. read more

Went to a late brunch with some friends. Stomach was a little iffy from the night before so went in a weird direction - vanilla shake and classic breakfast plate. Really hit the spot, the shakes are old school diner style. They give everyone these little coffee cake pieces when you sit down which weirdly may have been the highlight read more

Can't stop talking about how good Tweet is! You start off with a house made dessert! The coffee can't be beat and does not need anything fancy added to it. You also get a fruit cup with every order, who doesn't love fresh fruit. As for the main dishes, we always order something new and never need to worry about not liking it. The servers are well versed on the menu and if you feel like you don't want breakfast that is okay, the other half of the restaurant is a bar that is open on the AM and the PM. Enjoy! read more

This place did a really nice job of social distancing during phase 3 , they take your temp when coming in and then also give you hand sanitizer . We sat on the patio and I felt most tables had about 6 feet. The staff all had gloved and face masks on. Now onto the important stuff - I have no idea what was placed on the table prior to us sitting down but it was some delicious cake tasting thing . I could have eaten that 20 times over. The food came out really quickly - the food was a bit bland overall , could have used some more salt. I also recognize restaurants are getting back into the swing of things . Over all I'd definitely come back to give this place another shot read more

What a great first experience. Just moved in across the street and Seth made this experience absolutely wonderful. Keep up the great work! Zero negative things to say. Give Seth a raise!!! He works way too hard to not get a raise. Keep up the great work you guys!!! read more

I had one of the best meals ever here this past weekend. Tweet is cash only, but it sure is worth it! My beau, best friend, and I chose this spot as our final breakfast on our Chicago trip. We didn't have a wait and were promptly seated. The music was great! The coffee was better! They started us off with dessert! What more could we have wanted, right? We had some of the freshest, most picturesque fruit cups that I have seen outside of a magazine photo. Neither of us wanted to eat it, but when we did, we realized that the photo only captured the beauty that the eye can see, but couldn't capture the taste! We ordered the pork chop and eggs, a breakfast burrito, and the vegan polenta with soy-rizo. Those dishes didn't disappoint either. The burrito was the best my BFF ever tasted. The pork chop and eggs were cooked exactly to my beau's liking. The polenta and soy-rizo was the best meal I ate while in Chicago! This place has solidified itself on our short list of must haves when we come back. I've already mentioned it to others! Remember, bring cash because if you don't, you may have to wash dishes! read more

Tweet is a Chicago brunch staple. I just love the staff and the food and drinks are SO good!

Love Tweet! The food is always fantastic, the servers and bartenders are great (and patient when I bring in out of town friends with lots of questions). The front patio is nice but the back patio is like a secret garden escape! They have a great selection of NA drinks and mocktails too! read more

This spot is SO cute. And while it's not your typical, trendy brunch spot, the prices are great, and the service is above and beyond, making Tweet a place I'd happily return. Coming here almost felt like leaving the city; everyone who works here is so so nice! When my friend and I mentioned it was our first time, we got a full run-down of the menu, complete with our server's favorites, and multiple people checking in on us throughout our meal. Right when we sat down, we each got a little pastry to start, and our entrees came with a side of fruit. It was so much food! The gluten free Belgian waffle was okay, but a little stale so I'd probably try something else if I return. But above all, I really appreciated all the extensive gluten free and vegan options; there are even separate menus. The vibe is almost like a kitschy, small-town diner. The plates were cute and mismatched, everyone is incredibly personable and welcoming, and the menu is practically miles long. You'll leave feeling stuffed and at half the price of any other brunch spot in town! And for all those reasons, Tweet was a win in my book. read more
