Amazing breakfast and the good thing it opens at 6:00am. We tried the red velvet French toast and it was sôòöooooōöô yummy. The complementary coffee was good. Nice place for great start for your day.

The best Egg Benedict in the town !! There are two poached eggs with bacon and english muffin halves. On the other side served the fried potato and some juicy fruits . The food portion is really big. Read more

The Chilaquiles Verdes were amazing!!! I also had the Peanut Butter Cake , which was delish and Chamomile Tea which came in the cutest steeping pot. I’ll definitely look forward to our next visit!

Jon Suminski

Everything. The eggs Benedict are the best Ive had. The strawberry orange juice is a must. Service is great and food presentation is also great.

Jessy Saffell

Visiting from Out of town and this place reminded me of home! Awesome menu, great service and fun environment! Also the Challa Bread French Toast is a MUST

Mirko Pintar

Excellent food.Good and fast service .You have to wait, specially on weekends, to be seated.It's not place to seat and be engaged in conversation. It's loud and check is there & you have to go.

Ricel Almadovar

Come early or past noon. Wait times can be annoying. Salmon scrambler is good with biscuits . Corn beef hash with pancakes also an amazing choice. Friendly staff and fast service .

Alev Karatay

You must have breakfast here.The Roast Beef Eggs Benedict,pancakes and all the dishes are amazing.Take place in queue, go and ride bicycle at Grant Park then turn back to Yolk 10 min before your turn.

Ganula Borgilchuluun

HAZIM

The best spot to finish your morning meal, Incredibly food lovely waitress “ svenja “ ????????♥️

Get the potato pancakes !!! The California omelette is great too if you're an avocado lover. DELICIOUS FOOD. Wash it all down with a strawberry orange juice .

Eman alnuaim

Try the Greek omelette ,it's the best omelette I got of my life.i like the red velvet french toast as well .

C Bailey

Big portions ! Strawberry OJ is a must. Worth the wait. They told us 30 mins and it was only 15. And those red potatoes ...

Laura Greer

Eggs and hash with fruit and English muffin is delicious! The flavors blend together perfectly... And the fresh squeezed strawberry-orange juice also yummy.

Nena Agu-Honey

The chilaquiles Verdes were delicious! The hot sauce is very mild and not to spicy which i really liked.

Brad Perry

Great place to eat. They will even make you a brunch that isn't listed on the menu. I ordered grilled chicken with eggs and potatoes . It was my favorite meal in Chicago.

Jasmeve Deacobs

Friendly waiters/waitresses, good service and good food!!

Danny!! Fantastic server!!!! Best Breakfast in Chicago!!!! Come hungry leave full!!! DATS PERFECTION IN MY BOOK !! YOLK!!!!

Gabrielle Fritz

The biscuit and gravy are delicious, but be warned! The eggs come on top of it all. It was much better with the eggs on the side.

Bethany Grabher

The BEST breakfast in Chicago. A little out of the way (S. Michigan) and a HUGE line on weekends, but oh so worth it! Make sure to get OJ and if you have a sweet tooth, crepes !

Hamid Alan9ary

Goog place for breakfast , plenty of healthy options . I'd keep it simple with the Greek yogurt or a vegetable omelette

Devonta

Amazing breakfast with plentiful food. Perfect wall color.

Nailene Gonzalez

Definitely try the Cinnamon Roll French Toast ! (VERY sweet but VERY worth it) Perfect for large groups.

Burcu Uçaray

Strawberry oj and West coast crepes are great. Caution: portions are big

Sharon Tousant

Tip #2..this is for those who've had gastric surgeries...be weary that they penalize sharing...this is the 1st place I've been post-op that financially penalizes me for not being able to eat an entree

Candice L Clark-Bertschy

The service & food was good. coffee is horrible. After trying our first sips we asked the server to bring us coffee from a newly brewed pot. Still bad!Our breakfasts were very tasty though.

Andra M

Eggs Benedict are great but ask for the fruit on the side. They also give you coffee to go ????????

Lori Redding

Turkey sausage AWFUL. Potato pancakes awesome. Hickory smoked applewood bacon rocks! Crepes underwhelming. Must try strawberry o.j. its great!

Ryan Gallagher

Great mini-chain of breakfasts spots serving big helpings of very good diner breakfasts

Rebecca

If you are leaning towards the healthy end, get the south beach menu item... 1/2 pineapple w/loads of fresh fruit and yummy granola :-) Mouth Watering deliciousness.

Antonio Burrowes

Create your own skillet fresh ingredients , I enjoyed this

Stephan Germain

Super breakfast spot that is usually really busy. Red velvet French toast is to die for

Chioke McRae

I'm not big on brunch or eggs but this place was amazing. If dividing your bill, you have do it on your own.

Robert A

Red Velvet French toast is amazing! I also got the best omelette of my life here! So worth the wait.

Abbie Yeager

Great service and wonderful food! The French Toast is amazing! Not to mention-the host is one GORGEOUS man.

Kar Torres

get the Santa Fe Frittata and add chorizo for only 75 cents. AND the red velvet French toast is a must no matter what!!!!

David

5-egg omelettes . Liberal use of pesto . If you like a big, flavorful, hearty breakfast , this is the place.

V

Red velvet French toast is a Dream!

Mélanie Bloch

The country skillet was delicious and the service was impeccable. Great experience

Brian McG

Incredible breakfast . Try the skillets with pancakes on the side

Aaron Silvers

You're going to wait for 30-45 minutes anywhere you go out on a Saturday morning. Yolk has decent food (leans heavy on sweet vs. savory), but what this location has is a nice shaded plaza area in fron Read more

Alex Gonzales

Very good and tasty place to eat breakfast . Portions are big and the wait staff is polite and fast.

Aaron K.

The Tour de France was delicious. Great service despite being very busy. Highly recommend.
