The Original Alps

Best diner in Chicago, hands down. The food is always perfect. The staff and owners make you feel like family. Been coming here for 30 years.

The oven-baked omelets are excellent and not at all greasy, and you have the option to use egg whites . Excellent selection of all breakfast foods of great quality but value portions.

Dog friendly outdoor seating . The skillets are great as is everything else. The staff is friendly and attentive. This is our go to breakfast spot all year round..

Everything is delicious! Always love the pancakes :)

Just had their special Alps cinnamon swirl French toast . It was divine. Very fluffy and sweet.

Great French Dip sandwich and chicken noodle soup . Excellent service . Parking available around back.

The big man special is great, especially if you come between 6am and 9am its on special. And the owners are always very welcoming.

Dont remember what I had, it was some typical breakfast food . It was pretty good for the price, the cute girl behind the counter was really friendly . 5 x better the the nugget.

Warm, friendly clean diner . Classic breakfast food , you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Fluffy omelettes , free parking in the rear!
