Get the side of pancakes instead of toast. So good! Went on a Sunday at 11 and got seated immediately. By 1130 the place was full. I ordered the corn beef hash omelette. I would order again.

Alexander's has the best Athenian chicken in the city of Chicago at this time. The breakfast sausage has a great hint of spice and it's delicious. Great spinach and feta omelette.

Very good service and food, small venue and make you feel eaten I recommend if you do not want to spend a lot of money.

Love this place for a no nonsense diner breakfast. Some items are homemade. Great waitresses! Shout out to Angel! The potato pancakes rock! Be sure to get applesauce and spur cream with them.

The strawberry crepes might be the best I've ever had. So buttery and decked out in whipped cream.

The omelets are really good. The biscuits and gravy are better than abutting I have ever had done in the south. I love the food here.

They have goooood coffee and the breakfast is awesome. Free parking in back and the owner is always around to ask how your doing.

The eggs Benedict and potatoe pancakes are delicious. This place throws in some home cooked elements that elevate some dishes beyond standard diner fare.

Finally made it here, just steps from our house. Classic dinner, good coffee, great biscuits and gravy.

This place is good if you're looking for something cheap, but you get what you pay for. Big portions for the price.

The food was good. The service was terrible. The manager and a waitress we're going at it about closing. It was very uncomfortable to eat while hearing in the background how upset the staff was.

Why do they insist on serving ice cold butter for the French toast? It's always that way. No attention to details at all.

Belgium waffles! Get 'em!

Don't eat here unless there is a zombie apocalypse and it's the only place open.
