This isn't the first Yolk I've been to, so I was excited to get back! We were seated immediately and our drinks orders were taken shortly after. The menu is hugee, so I had some trouble picking something for brunch with so many options, but decided to settle with the Farm House which is basically biscuits & gravy with eggs and my friend chose the corned beef hash with a side of pancakes for us to share. The food came SO fast (like maybe too fast, like they stuck it in the microwave & brought it out fast). The eggs and potatoes seemed fresh, but I was disappointed with the biscuits; they tasted a bit stale/old/frozen. The pancakes were delicious though & so was my friends corned beef hash. Service was great & it's a great little place for brunch that's close by in my neighborhood, I just don't think I'll be ordering biscuits again. read more

Came here for brunch with friends. They have a lot of options for breakfast and lunch food. The vibe is what you can expect from a standard brunch spot in the city. They also have a cafe bar with a full menu of coffee varieties, lattes, cortados, specialty flavors and more. The service and food quality was also pretty standard. Potatoes were pretty good. The portions were large so you can definitely share or take food to-go. It's a good place to meet up for small groups as well. read more

The breakfast Sam and I had hit the spot. Sam had the El Torero Scrambler and absolutely loved it. I was a littler more hungry and decimated the All-Star Combo. The cinnamon roll French toast may have been a little overly sweet for some but my sweet tooth was able to manage. My only complaint was that my flat white came out roughly 212 degrees and that the cold brew Sam ordered wasn't palatable for either of us. Other than that our visit here was fantastic espiral my thanks to our waitress Lana P. Highly suggest a visit for anyone visiting the Chicago area read more

Whoever pours the gravy here must be pouring it from their own personal reserve pot that they plan on taking home at the end of their shift

Came to Yolk South Loop for a quick Saturday morning breakfast and was NOT disappointed. We placed our name on the waiting list using Yelp before leaving the house and by the time we arrived it was our turn to be seated. This is a life hack do not forget this step because it was pretty busy! Our server Sonya provided great service, she was knowledgeable of the menu items, patient, and very efficient in checking in getting refills and making sure we were all squared away to enjoy our breakfast! The menu was expansive and all your breakfast needs from classic breakfast to specials and fun flavored pancakes .I ordered the Chicken and Waffles (without gravy and with scrambled eggs) and WOW! So rich in flavor and my favorite part was the bacon mixed in the waffle batter! Really took those waffles to the next level! I also loved my iced latte and when I couldn't finish, Sonya gave me a cup so I could take it on the go! I can't wait to get back here! read more

Had a breakfast to go from them while staying in Chicago. They were 3 minutes walking distance from our hotel, so very convenient to get breakfast to enjoy in the room during covid where hotel doesn't offer much. We got their build your own breakfast plate with pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon. They forgot to give us maple syrup and we didn't want to go back so this was a little irritating cause who likes pancakes with no syrup... other than that the breakfast plate was very good and huge. The only vegan option was oatmeal with granola and fruit and it was also very good and huge portion. read more

Third visit here, the menu is large enough to return a few times. COVID measures are followed. This run I tried the banana nut bread French toast. $15 is steep for 3 small pieces, alacarte. Needless to say, the peanut butter was very rich and creamy. The banana nut bread French Toast doesn't taste at all like French toast. It's a very nutless moist piece of banana bread. Tasty, to say the least, especially w/ the gourmet peanut butter and fresh bananas. I want to try the specialty coffee but $6 a glass, maybe next time. I also ordered a side of 3 Turkey links (I ate one before the photo was taken :). They were average taste and cost. The house blend coffee is not bad, I had 3 cups. The waiter kept me topped off. On a Friday afternoon, I was seated immediately. read more

Originally was going to go to the location in West Loop but realized it's in the train station and parking would be a bear. So, we switched to this location last minute on Michigan Avenue. Great service from Essa, ambience is great, found a parking lot about two blocks away at reasonable price. We met my sister-in-love and hubby there to celebrate her birthday. There were four of us and we didn't have to wait for a table on a Saturday morning. Saw a lot of people picking up to-go food orders. Two people in our party ordered the Yolk All Star Combos traditional with bacon and or sausage, another ordered Yolk All Star Combo with poached eggs medium, eggs were poached correctly! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Scrambler minus the cream cheese, no regrets and I ate every bite! Generous portions of food and the coffee was good and hot, and I like that they have brown sugar so my hubby doesn't use as much in his coffee. The waitress Essa refilled in a timely manner and checked in on us frequently but didn't rush us. read more

I can't honestly say that this is one of my favorite breakfast spots! It's location is perfect, right off of Michigan and across from Grant Park.

My food came out pretty fast and definitely hit the spot! read more

Favorite was the strawberry orange juice, fresh squeezed. Brunch here was alright. We stopped in for a quick bite since we were just around the corner. Service was friendly and efficient but the food was bland. We ordered the All Star Yolk, and the Benedict Caprese. The eggs benedict were done well, runny but the pesto was a bit on the heavy side. The bacon, a bit oversalty, and eggs weren't special but the sausage was tasty. read more

Good service. My boyfriend got the omelet and I got the avocado toast. You definitely get more bang for your buck with the omelet dish. The avocado toast was pretty small. The food was okay but pretty overpriced for what we got. 70 dollars total for 2. read more

Wow I can't believe I came here and used the waitlist but forgot to use the 10% off Yelp offer. Make sure you use both! There was almost no wait with the waitlist even though the restaurant was busy. The service was pretty good. I got the scrambler with smoked salmon and it was good! Pancakes were good too. A bit disappointed that the coffee doesn't come with fresh cream. Note it pretty difficult to find parking nearby. read more

We went on a Friday morning before starting our day to tour the city. We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server was very friendly and professional. She always checked on us to see if we needed anything. The menu wasn't overwhelming. The restaurant itself had plenty of seating. The menu was simple but he food was delicious. We would come back here for breakfast for sure. We got the Mexican scramble with home fries, bacon waffles with scrabled eggs and cheese and washed it down with coffee. read more

I came here on Sunday a little before their closing time. I didn't have to wait for a table but the place still looked busy. If you come any earlier, I am sure there will be a wait. The food came out very fast and it was awesome. The French toast was very tasty. Not dry in the middle and not overly sweet. Eggs were cooked right and their sausages are the real deal. The bacon were crispy but not overly done. Everything was excellent in terms of the food. The drink....Salted caramel Latte was meh. I could barely taste the saltiness or caramelness in my drink. The service...while the waitress was nice, she was very slow on checking on me after I got my food. I needed another plate because I hate getting syrup on my savory items so I needed to separate them from french toast. She was a no show for a while. If I didn't need anything then I would have been fine with it but this time I did need something. I saw other waitresses checking up on their customers more frequent than mine for sure. And it was not busy at that time any more. While not everything was perfect, I still wanna go back and try their delicious food again! read more

We stop here for breakfast since it was within walking distance of our hotel. Great service from the moment we stepped in. Good atmosphere to spend time with friends and have a nice breakfast. The French toast and waffles were really good. The sausage was just okay and the lemonade definitely nothing to write home about but did I say how good the French toast were?!? Definitely try these when you stop in. read more

Got into chicago at 7am on Friday for a concert, found Yolk on the map. Just go. No wait at that time. I had the kale scrambler with grits, rye toast and had had had to add a single Nutella crepe. Couldn't finish even half of it the portions were huge. But everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious and our serve, Lana was brighter than orange juice! Delightful experience start to finish! read more

My fiance and I decided to stop here for breakfast on Veterans day because when is there a time when we both are off from work bit the kid still have school, lol. We parked in the garage that is connected with tje apartment building. If you get it validated at yolk its on $13. As soon as we went in were greeted and seated at a booth which was perfect. He order the strawberry orange juice which he said was good. I had a cappuccino and once I added some sugar it was good,lol. I had their signature Yolk breakfast with cheddar cheese added to my eggs which was good. Bacon also good and pancakes were ok but could have been more fluffy. He had the build your own scramble with potatoes, tomatoes, gren peppers, onions, spinach, bacon, sausage and turkey sausage which he said was good. The food was very fulfilling. Service was good and people were nice. We would go back. read more

My husband and I ordered a meal to share: -The Works Omelet with upgraded Pancake of the Month (+$3 Blueberry Lemon Pancakes) -Oat Milk Horchata Cold Brew -Hibiscus Arnold Palmer The food was great! The omelets were DELICIOUS with the cheese melted to stringy perfection with each bite. It was savory given all the ingredients mixed together, and I was obsessed with their hot sauces! They had two different hot sauces, and they tasted so good with a good kick of spice with every dip. The pancakes were okay- I wasn't craving sweets and am not a huge fan of too much lemon, so I found the lemon taste overpowering everything else. If you're typically into lemon pastries, you make very well like this pancake! My husband didn't like the oat milk coffee as he felt it wasn't sweet enough, but he's also a sweet tooth and admittedly orders extra sugar in his beverages usually. I thought the hibiscus Arnold Palmer was decent - it tasted like you'd expect - a bit of sour from the hibiscus and a typical Arnold Palmer. Our main complaint is that the service was a little slow or difficult to come by. When we were ready to order, we just didn't see our server anywhere for quite awhile. Overall, I'd recommend visiting this place if you can fit it into your itinerary! read more

We were a bog group visiting chicago for a birthday. We decided to have breakfast on out last day and this was closest to our hotel. They were able to get 7 of us seated pretty quickly after I called and ask what things were looking like. The windows in the dining area are huge and you can look out and see the city with everyone walking about or what ever they may be up to. I ordered a chai latte which was tasty. Another person ordered the chai latte with added flavor and let me tell you, thats the true. I wish I would have known and got that instead of plain. Although the regular is still good! For food I got the avocado toast with cream cheese, avocado, tomatoes, purple onions, salmon and capers. I expected the cream cheese to be piled on but it was thinly spread. The amount of salmon was good but I wished for more cream cheese. Overall not a bad flavor. It is not very filling and so I shared a slice of french toast with my bestie to top it off. read more

We came here for our last breakfast and the food was incredible. Amazing portions, great prices and the ambience is very nice. We each ordered different meals and loved everything. I got the countryside skillet which in itself is huge but you also get a english muffin, pancake or toast along with it. I also ordered a side of corn beef hash to share with my fiancé and I couldn't even eat it till the next day because their portions are so big which is pretty awesome but don't go crazy ordering. To go with my food I got their cold brew drink special they had going on and they also was tasty. The customer service was lacking with our server but the manager took note of this and really fixed our experience and we left on a great note. I highly suggest for breakfast. read more
