Stella's Diner

My absolute favorite breakfast spot in Chicago. The staff is great and friendly , food is fresh and tasty. Old fashioned diner experience, nothing fancy . Highly recommend the french toast .

The chicken salad croissant is my favorite! It has grapes ! The cabbage soup is the best. And have a Maria's Mystery Milkshake or pumpkin spice cake for dessert !

Great diner . Make burgers there. Roast their own turkey . Quesadilla was different, comes with veggies . Try the west coaster for breakfast. Fresh squeezed juices .

Great Reuben sandwich ! The owner, who stands at the cash, is a bit of a douche bag, as he yells at employees. I gave him a piece of my mind last time he did it, so please do the same :-)

While visiting Chicago for 3 days I been here 6 times. 3 breakfast, 3 suppers. Speaks for itself ???????? Try pancakes and milkshakes !

A great, family-run business in the heart of Lakeview. Generous helpings of everything - try one of the specials on the board!

Great staff that hits home a true old diner vibe with juicy hamburger options and affordable down to earth prices.

I love this place! Easily the best American breakfast food around. I always get the hungry person. Also, the owner is pretty cool too, if you're a redhead give him a little wink, he loves us :)

The Pesto Penne Pasta has a decadently creamy pesto sauce . If you're here for dinner , gives it a go with the add-in broiled chicken (just $2.00 more).

Nice and friendly owner greeting customers. Range of traditional diner foods and also some more modern and healthier options

Great food at a reasonable price. Family owned for more than 50 years. Every time I'm in Chicago, Stella's is a must.

Dracula garlic bread so good. Great for leftovers too.

The chorizo skillet is delicious! And, you must try a peanut butter and banana shake !

The bleu cheese pecan salad (added chicken ) and Reuben are delicious! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly as well .

Kitschy but cute , their free Wi-Fi makes this a decent lunch not-quite-break from work spot. However, the lack of outlets means you should come fully charged. Wifi password: stella3042

Family owned since the early 60's. Diner food the way it should be, simple and delicious.

Visiting from out of town and found this diner . Good fries but the shakes ( esp. the Orange dreamcicle) are awesome!

The milkshakes are killer, portions are massive, and prices are really reasonable

Some of the best breakfast food I've had in a while. Food gets made really fast too! Try the eggs Benedict ! Fire!

Thank you everyone for the great reviews. When you come back remind me about your review. Gus da' owner guy.

Love this place. Cinnamon French Toast is my fav

Seems like a great place where they want to get to know their clients.

So phenomenal! Super friendly waitstaff . Try Dracula's garlic bread and the Monte Cristo . Huge portions !

Chorizo skillet ftw!

Family owned business! Great food. Stellar service.

Food was good, prices were fair , and everyone was genuinely nice!

Best breakfast place even at 4 in the afternoon.

I FUCKING LOVE THE OWNER & STAFF ❤️

Best diner in the area!

Predictable diner fare . Tuna Salad is cold and a bit sweet. Soups OK. Sour cabbage soup is what it says; something different.

Some of the best hand cut fries in the city !

Their milkshakes bring this boy/man to the yard/diner.

Service is always quick and friendly here!

Great diner atmosphere... the food is just so-so... but the price point is good for what you get.

Stella's grilled cheese = best hangover fix in the city !

Turkey bacon club . Do it.

Amazing food and great service!

Best "diner " in chicago, hands down

Have the mad texan! Order the jalapenos on the side to control the spice

Here's my tip: U MUST COME BACK!

Stuffed. French. Toast .

French Toast and eggs

Great outdoor patio

Salads are great at stella's. This is the Cobb salad . Delish.

Try the West Coaster - so good!

Ann is awesome and the host is cute ! ;)

The Weird Harold is stellar.

Must try the Chocolate Diva Cake ! Loveeee the service here!

Ok, brunch has been had. Monte Cristo with side of hollandaise . Wow!

I would travel for miles for the apple cobbler . Also, patricia is the best
