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 .

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

Simply one of the best brunches in Chicago, their seasonal specials are usually the best

Anabella Mingo

Great place to have a great meal. Service was perfect as well as the price-size relation

Brian Brooks

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!

Word of caution, If you're seated in the new wing , you lose the atmosphere :/

Kaitlin Amsberry

Great place to meet friends for breakfast , lunch , or even a cup of coffee !! Their bacon is amazing!!!

Robert Gibbs

Healthy & Filling: Order an egg white omelette (dry) with asparagus or spinach ! Grilled tomatoes on the side...

Stina P.

Top 3 Favorites in all of the city . Wells location is good, but all time quaint spot is Broadway. Order anything.

Cate C.

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 .

Gerald Wilson

Dixie Benedict is a great brunch choice

Ryan Evans

Byo champagne and get some of their amazing freshly squeezed oj ... You will not be disappointed

Cody H

No one can pronounce the managers name. It's Greek and starts with an X. Everyone just calls him Bob.

Michael Antonio Canganelli

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.

Ram Schvartz

The vegeterian omlette is great.

Graham Reeves

one of the few places open the day after the big storm. excellent triple decker turkey club provided lunch and dinner today

Sam Schelberger

Strawberry waffle were GOOD

Kathleen Wesley

Love the breakfast here. Don't miss the trio of french toast if you want to try something delish!

Graham Reeves

Try the triple decker turkey club . Best I've had

Kate Lee

Great brunch !! Awesome hangover cure :)

Linnea Chambery

Thanks for the fast table, we had hungry kids and got great service!

Zach Reed

Amazing breakfast , and brunch !

Adriane Powell

Jalisco wrap is healthy and delish.

Hope Arenas

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.

@steveGOgreen

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 .

John R Dallas Jr
