Valois

Omelets are delicious, cut it up and eat it on top of a biscuit . The staff just needs a little sugar - be polite to them and they'll be polite back. If you're an asshole, you deserve their wrath.

Best diner in hyde park ! Veggie omelet and tilapia with lemon sauce are absolutely wonderful! This place is cash only and you get a student discount .

If you’re more the steak and potatoes type, Bourdain has got the perfect Chicago restaurant for you. To do it Bourdain-style, keep it simple and get the meatloaf with mac 'n cheese . Read more

Beef short ribs were amazing and the corn bread . Very authentic place in Chicago, many true locals & clients that'd been coming here for years. Cafeteria style , cheap & huge portions . Service is great

You might not recognize the neighborhood or regulars at Valois anymore, but the Hyde Park institution's mac and cheese remains the same, as does its price: $5 for a hearty, creamy, smooth classic. Read more

Classic place for breakfast in Hyde Park , but don't ignore dinner here: the prime rib is awesome and a great deal for like $14.

The hot turkey sandwich is vile, made with reconstituted turkey . Only real good things are tuna sandwich , breakfast food , and sometimes the hot vegetables .

There are parking meters all around-good luck finding one at the right time, but if you park in the lot behind & across the street from the liquor store , Valois will validate - up to an hour - free!

What’s the surest sign of a solid brunch option? The fact that the entire block gets shut down by the Secret Service whenever President Obama comes home might be a good place to start. Read more

Always get the omelettes . Any omelette . Every omelette ! The Reuben 's kind of sketch. The hash browns are great. Cash only , but there's an ATM in the back.

Try the soup of the day for $1.50. Or grab a breakfast sandwich for less than $3. Read more: http://www.cheapism.com/p/cheap-chicago-south-side-restaurants.mhtml#ixzz2kQV1Otg9

My favorite place for breakfast in Chicago. Love sitting next to pictures of Obama while I eat. Get an Obama mug, because they are awesome!!

Love the steak omelette - though there's just a bit too much cheese . So I always order "#4 with less cheese ".

This place is so legit even Obama comes back. Omlettes and French toast are the best in Hyde Park . Mac and cheese is oily and not cheesy. Clientele and staff are also the best in Hyde Park .

If you don't know what to get, there's always Obama 's favorites to fall back on! The homemade biscuits are to die for.

Breakfast is all day, I love my turkey sausage , cheese omelet , and my homemade biscuits , yum, and they are fast.

So cheap and quick. The hash browns are standout (everything else is just fine)

This place should be part of hyde park history has been here ages always crowded for good food morning noon and night check them out!!

Delicious food. Recently priced, cafeteria style . Old school American food .

Cash only ! Great breakfast . I've never seen cooks make omelettes that fast.

Anything on President Obama 's list is great!!!..... Except that I supplement with turkey products... Judge me later!

Great place to go for extremely fast and good breakfast ! Kids don't like waiting, so the perfect place to take little ones on weekends.

Cheap , fast, and good. I get the Mediterranean omelet !

Never been disappointed with the breakfast here If it's good enough for Obama it's good enough for me!

Friendly , wonderful staff and delicious pancakes .

The breakfast here is yummy. Make sure you bring cash. No credit cards accepted.

Presidential breakfast combo specials are a whole lot of food for the money. Delicious, too!

Best cheap breakfast in town

The Denver Omelette is delicious! Tell them to add mushrooms and bam! Perfection. :)

Awesome pancakes , really awesome !!!

Great food for a great price.

Their biscuits taste more like sweet cornbread , so beware if you were actually looking for a biscuit . Hashbrowns were good

Almost ordered a Pepsi to go with my breakfast sammich ????

Today I am having the chop steak

Breakfast , duh! No place better on the Southside!

Order the biscuit . It's delicious!

This place is more about “Obama used to hang out here” than anything else. The food is good but that’s all.

Good food, good prices.. No credit cards !?!?

Their omelets are the best in town . Also the steak and eggs is a great deal.

The best pancakes in the city !

Cheap , quick and good!

Affordable breakfast . The 1 old cook is mean & rude tho. Seems like the workers have mastered ignoring him & don't let him affect their attitudes

Known as 'breakfast spot ' but full menu rather impressive and you actually 'see your food ', prepared and served.

Everything

I absolutely love you Valois! Check out Freebie today! Read more

Don't bother with the dry whitefish . Chicken oreganato is yummy and filling, and the coconut pie is fantastic.

2 egg , sausage & grits special! Biscuits too big & kinda dry, so stick with toast .

The ultimate quick bite to eat place.

Solid diner grilled cheese

Always get a biscuit .
