I love this place. i love the speed and efficiency of the servers and cooks. Everything is perfect here and fun. my favorite server is Krystina. She remembers previous orders and always brightens my day. I make sure to always sit in her section even if I have to wait longer. She makes Yolk great read more

First off, we love Yolk and the gluten-free and vegetarian options here, but the wait we experienced today was just way too long. I'm aware that we came at 11:30am in a Saturday morning, but when we arrived we asked the hostess how long the wait was gonna be and she casually informed us it would t be longer than 15-20 minutes. 45-minutes later we FINALLY got seated. She never said hello, she didn't apologize for our wait, and didn't even say "follow me." She just grabbed our menus, lead us to our table and left. Our server was great and the food was good, but the welcome, or lack there of, was definitely sub-par. read more

Very good location. We were seated immediately as we arrived even though the place seemed quite full. We had omelet, pancakes and frittata - all were delicious. Tea was great as well!! Will go back for more! read more

Came on the recommendation of a local and have to say I'm a mixed reviewer. The food was good when my party got it but it took forever (like 45 min+) and that was after we waited 45 minutes to be sat. Your whole party has to be there and ready to be sat for them to seat you and make sure you ask for a high chair if you need one when making the reservation or that creates an issue with seating. They have some unique menu options so you're sure to find something original, portions are huge and the service was great from Pauline. Check it out - just don't go starving unless you want your stomach to eat itself. read more

All the Yolk. locations are completely serviceable- variety of the menu, good service and typical higher Chicago prices.

We had breakfast at this restaurant last Sunday morning. We got seated pretty quickly and placed our orders, but then had to wait about 45 minutes before our food came! This wouldn't be so bad if one could talk during this time, but the restaurant is EXTREMELY NOISY, which makes having a conversation very difficult. The food quality was okay and nothing special. read more

Food is pretty good. California omelette has a lot of avocado in it!! Yum. Cristina was super friendly and welcoming! Big shoutout to her!!

Hits the spot when you want a big, greasy breakfast. This location is not as hectic as the SLoop one, I've never had to wait for a table. Bf didn't like the pancakes, which I've always thought were so-so too. The skillet was decent, though quite greasy when you get to the bottom. I took half of it home and got two breakfasts out of a single portion. Consider yourself warned. read more

Love, love, love this place!!! I wish they had one back home! The fresh strawberry orange juice was perfect and the food was amazing. The portions are a good size and leave you very satisfied. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great food. And very fast! Looking for breakfast spot in the city on a Sunday and was one of the only places open.

My roommate and I had the best experience at Yolk yesterday morning. We have only been in Chicago for three days, and our waitress Stephanie was absolutely wonderful in giving us advice and cheering us on! She was also incredibly attentive and was an excellent server! Long story short, her friendliness made my roommate and I confident that we made a new friend in Chicago. Thanks Stephanie! You're the best! read more

I just came here yesterday and the wait was only a few minutes for the five of us. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast with sausage. The food didn't take long and it was delicious! The French toast had so much flavor and sweetness to it and the sausage was tender and juicy! Good service too! read more

Solid lunch menu and great breakfast menu! Today I had the buffalo wrap which was a bit spicy so make sure you like that.... You have to try the onion chips if you like onion rings. read more

Delicious food, huge portions, reasonably priced! Walked in at noon on a Sunday and sat immediately at the counter. Service was good and quick! Food was top notch and tasty! Highly recommend. read more

Awesome breakfast food, I've gone three times already this month. Service has either been really fast or slower than hell, but worth it. I've ordered the Santa Fe frittata and it is godly. read more

You know, I have high expectations for brunch. It's what gets the motor running. This place has a vast menu, but so does Denny's. And, that's how I can explain my breakfast/brunch here...very Denny's. read more

This is one of the best place to have brunch in the loop. I always have a great experience there. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband loves the Red Velvet french toast and it's delicious! I definitely recommend this place to have brunch in the city. read more

Solid breakfast place. It would take a lot to WOW me at breakfast, b/c, plain and simple, the food (eggs/potatoes/pancakes, etc.) is much easier to make than dinner. I had the Hey Ricky! omelet and it was good. Even with the chorizo it wasn't greasy which was a +. Pancakes were solid. Clean tables, bathrooms, etc. which is important to me also. read more

A better version of IHOP: large, standard breakfasts delivered quickly and with a everyone-is-rushed atmosphere. Tastes well and the prices are fantastic (except for the coffee, you will not be here long enough to get a refill). read more

Chilaquiles with Chorizo and corned beef hash were incredibly delicious. Pancakes were amazing as well.

Yolk in the West Loop is a FANTASTIC place to get breakfast or brunch for a good price. If you love eggs, stop on by! They have amazing pancakes and crêpes too. There is almost always a 10-30 minute wait so feel free to explore the mall that it's located in. But come on back for some potato and cheese cakes. They're probably my favorite, but I'm biased towards potatoes. ;) It's also a good place to come with a loved one, or as a group. The atmosphere is vibrant, colorful, and clean. It's an aromatic place! The bathrooms are practically spotless so you can rest assured the rest of the place is too. You'll even get a cute Yolk sticker on the way out. Just see the desk clerk. Enjoy! read more

Yolk has some of the best brunch food I have experienced in Chicago. I would recommend The Ricky if you like an omelette with a kick and lots of avocado read more

DO NOT GO HERE. If you're looking for a good breakfast, this is the last place you should go to. My omelet was not well seasoned and was missing a few of the ingredients that were under the description of it. Some potatoes were not fully cooked, and some were too burnt. I took two bites and left. Absolutely disgusting. Not to mention, the cook was singing a song so loud that a bird could hear from the outside and be so bothered that it'd fly 3 miles away. GROSS read more

An average brunch experience, especially considering the plethora of great mid-morning eateries in Chicago. They could not seat 10 at one table but accommodated us with two adjacent tables. I had the banana crunch pancakes, to me they were a bit dry, nothing special. Wife had the eggs benedict, decent but again not spectacular. Service was good. read more

Service was okay and food was good! Mediocre breakfast spot compared to the many other great ones in Chicago.

Solid weekend breakfast spot in the West Loop! I've been multiple times on Sat/Sunday and it is always busy, but usually not a very long wait at all (10 min or less). So many great options on their extensive menu, but my go-to is the Hey Ricky! Omelet if you like a little spice. Staff is nice and they always keep your coffee mug full! Prices very reasonable for Chicago & the amount of food you get. read more

We visited here a few weekends ago while staying in the city. We loved it! Service was wonderful, everyone had a smile on and our server was super friendly. Everything was noticeably clean. I ordered a skillet with poached eggs, my husband ordered a frittata. So tasty and filling! We had pancakes on the side, and we both couldn't stop talking about how great they were - we loved the texture. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

The service was excellent even though the place was crowded with the NYE morning crowd. The food was amazing and all reasonably priced based on the high quality and large portions. Defiantly coming back! read more

First time here and it won't be our last... Decided to try something new from the diners my husband and I have went to before.... Absolutely delicious!! Thanks Yolk!! read more

The pot roast eggs benedict is freakin' delicious. If you think it sounds gross, just imagine eggs benedict with some tender, flavorful pot roast meat instead of ham. Goodness me, I would order this every time. read more

Me and the wife had breakfast here while visiting Chicago. I had the banana crunch cakes, very delicious. My wife has the chicken & waffles, her meal was very basic. Basic battered boneless breast atop a bacon infused waffle. Nothing unique, or special, very commercial. But my dish was delicious, very nicely done. read more

Yolk used to be one of my favorite breakfast spots. My last two meals there have been terrible. Aside from changing around their menu and ruining the breakfast wrap / quesadilla, the all around quality of food has decreased. I expressed this to my server, and he explained that they had either been bought out or gone more corporate. My wife and friend were also beyond disappointed with there meals. I tried a bite of my wife's omelet and it was flavorless. Not sure how you ruin an omelet. It was kind of soggy... almost watery, but not under cooked. Tough to describe, but not good. Very odd. ALSO! They used to have quality roasted potatoes and now they serve what looks like something out of the freezer section at jewel. Bad news bears for Yolk. This place is permanently off my list. If the founder, Taki Kastanis still owns this he's failing in an effort to grow (think they've added 6 new locations recently). If he sold it, the new owners are ruining his legacy. read more

Fantastic breakfast. Ate here as I was waiting for my train. The chorizo Benedict was amazing. Will be back for sure when I am in town around breakfast time. read more

I've been there almost every Sunday with my husband, my favorite breakfast places in Chicago, It's a little pricey but it's so delicious.

Ordered steak Medium well. They brought it out raw inside burnt outside. I sent it back and they brought out the same steak with a crispier outside and still raw inside. I'm leaving hungry. My dumbass shouldn't order steak from non steak houses. Highly pissed. Nice waiter though. read more

I came to this restaurant hoping to give it a second chance, for I remember going there once and feeling the food was subpar. The service was fine; our waitress was polite and responsive. However, the food had not improved since I had last visited. The menu has a lot of typical but promising breakfast foods, so I ordered eggs Benedict and my boyfriend created his own skillet. First of all, our food came out VERY fast. Second of all, my food was cold. The poached eggs were cold, the hollandaise sauce was cold, and the potatoes were definitely not warm and some of them seemed to be undercooked. My boyfriend's skillet was warmer, but his potatoes were not all cooked through either. Overall, we were not impressed. I would say we are probably not going to try this restaurant again. For all of the hype, this restaurant is not worth it going to if you want a great breakfast in Chicago. read more

Place is decent but the kitchen needs work, the eggs benedict here are always cooked completely solid, horrible. No yolk in these things, and it's always like that. They are basically hard boiled eggs. The service and staff are good but the food quality is below the other locations. read more

My first time coming in this place, and the food is great... the staffs/servers are nice and they give really good service

Solid breakfast/brunch place. Bit expensive (surprised how much the coffee was) but food and service are all good.

I had a Challah French Toast with Strawberries and husband had Egg Sandwich. Very good, good service, but a little pricey for breakfast.
