The seasonal eggs Benedict had black bean patties , squash and hot pepper hollandaise was delightful. So was the Kentucky slammer burger . Good stroller friendly place to stop before the zoo .
The owner, Mauro and all the staff attended us very well . we loved the dixon Benedict, the omelettes , huevos con chorizo and the french toast . Hope to come back soon.
Neighborhood staple for brunch ...be prepared to wait a bit but the food is worth it. Patio in spring/summer is soo nice. Avocado chili frittata = tasty
Awesome diner with fresh squeezed OJ and huge portions . The cottage fries are like huge homemade potato chips . Yum!
Everything. My favorite is the Farmers Eggs Skillet . Also try any of the seasonal specials . Delicious!
Simply one of the best brunches in Chicago, their seasonal specials are usually the best
My favorites are the rueben , burger , Cesar wrap , and the omelettes and eggs Benedict for breakfast . All are all fantastic. Huge portions .
Great place to have a great meal. Service was perfect as well as the price-size relation
Aside from being a great brunch joint, they by far have the best freshly brewed iced tea in Chicago. You tea lovers will appreciate what I'm talking about....and I've tried LOTS of places!
Especially on winter, it's a great place to have breakfast
Big menu, friendly quick service . Tasty breakfast/brunch.
Two pancakes , two eggs , 4 pieces of bacon . Too good to miss!
Word of caution, If you're seated in the new wing , you lose the atmosphere :/
Great place to meet friends for breakfast , lunch , or even a cup of coffee !! Their bacon is amazing!!!
Healthy & Filling: Order an egg white omelette (dry) with asparagus or spinach ! Grilled tomatoes on the side...
BYOB . Consider bringing champagne and getting some fresh orange juice for mimosas .
Voted Best No-Frills Brunch by Bitches Who Brunch . Read More! Read more
Denver omelette very delicious. The portion was huge! Really nice people work there ;-)))
Great place to visit, good prices and great food
Top 3 Favorites in all of the city . Wells location is good, but all time quaint spot is Broadway. Order anything.
Standard gluten free breakfast options , eggs , bacon etc. Be warned, you will drool over the special pancakes and French toast you can't have. Huge omelets .
Dixie Benedict is a great brunch choice
Byo champagne and get some of their amazing freshly squeezed oj ... You will not be disappointed
No one can pronounce the managers name. It's Greek and starts with an X. Everyone just calls him Bob.
Beef stroganoff here is as good as Mom's!
Went during off hours service was quick food came fast and turkey club was filling.
Great breakfast spot . BYOB mimosas while you wait!
Favorite meal is Monterey chicken entree .
Cheddar + asparagus omelette - delish. They also have raisin toast and freeeeeesh OJ .
They give you A LOT of food. Not too hungry? Get a half order.
French toast was best thing anyone in our group had. Eggs and related items were ok, though hash browns were sub-par. Service was surprisingly terrible.
The vegeterian omlette is great.
one of the few places open the day after the big storm. excellent triple decker turkey club provided lunch and dinner today
Strawberry waffle were GOOD
Love the breakfast here. Don't miss the trio of french toast if you want to try something delish!
Try the triple decker turkey club . Best I've had
Great for any time of day, any day of the week. Ernesto's chilaquiles are my favorite.
Great brunch !! Awesome hangover cure :)
Thanks for the fast table, we had hungry kids and got great service!
Amazing breakfast , and brunch !
Jalisco wrap is healthy and delish.
The eggs Benedict was too lemony. I tried to like it, but no go. Hash browns are mediocre too... No cappuccino either. I guess I'm a bit spoiled by my South Loop Waffles . :/ Nookies used to be a fav.
Try the Denver omelette and hash browns - So Good! #Foodiechats
If you like burgers and you like Acapulco, try the Acapulco Burger - it's loaded with fresh avocado .
Love the Reubens . Service is even and friendly . Been here (and Nookies Too) more than a dozen or so times.
Serious French raisin toast here. Yum
Quaint, fast, good
