    Great food and reasonably priced. Had the pancakes with bananas and walnuts. Scrumptious! I am guessing this place may get busy on the weekends since it was so good and has a great menu

    My favorite breakfast/lunch place in Chicago! Amazing service, delicious food, try tour de france toasts, nuttela crepes and caesar salad! And of course all types of omelets!)

    Split an order of Red Velvet French toast! Everyone should taste this at least once in their life. The Irish bene (if you like the canned corned beef hash, which I do) is really good :)

    Great spot for breakfast. They have multiple options from egg whites to omelettes, from whole wheat bread to pancakes, fruit bowls, juices, you name it! Best of all, all freshly made #oakmilkchailatte

    The All star breakfast with the cinnamon roll French toast was very tasty and filling. 2 pieces of bacon and sausage, eggs to order and French toast from cinnamon rolls. Everything tasted great!

    Popular here in Chicago - get there early. All the staples of a great breakfast await. Accented by coffee, you can smell the bacon as you enter and start your day with breakfast.

    Amazing eggs Benedict and fantastic fresh fruit. Molly was great! Don't worry about the long wait, they have fast service and it is worth any wait you may have.

    Everything about breakfast or brunch (no alcohol served). Good stuff, but nothing special. Here is the special of April 🙈

    Solid breakfast, big portions, and a menu with something for everyone. Join virtual waitlist via Yelp on your way there to avoid crazy waits.

    I liked the salmon scramble and the breakfast sandwich was good, the breakfast potatoes were not good. The apple chi-der tea was very good!

    Omelettes are great - get fruit on the side instead of potatoes. Try the strawberry orange juice. Jackelyn was our server, she is really nice! Good food, good service.

    Went there for breakfast .. We had to wait for 25 minutes before going in. We ordered California omelet and French toast. The omelet was good .. The idea of adding guacamole was great .

    Choices include benedicts, skillets, frittatas, oatmeals, omelettes, crepes, french toast, salads, burgers, wraps & more. Whoa. In the mood for hot & spicy so I'm going w/the Hey Ricky!! Rev. On Yelp.

    Always as good as the first time. The red velvet French toast is the ultimate guilty pleasure. It'll have you running for the gym before returning for the seconds you'll dream about after leaving.

    The Blue Bayou Frittata (Blue cheese + bacon) is a must. If you have a sweet tooth... Upgrade to the Stuffed French Toast instead of pancakes...

    Any breakfast menu item is fantastic. You might require a 'work out' at the LA Fitness gym across the street after the meal :-O

    Corned beef hash was a bit too heavy on the onions. Might be worth telling them to go easy unless you're a big fan. It also wasn't all that flavorful. Not bad, just nothing great either.

    An absolute must-eat breakfast spot. Come before 9am on the weekends to beat the hungover rush.

    The red velvet french toast was really good, but its filled with cream cheese icing and its super sweet.

    Ordered Crepe Suzette and was pleasantly surprised at the quantity of food. I've had other dishes before and been pleasantly surprised. Bacon in a Belgium Waffle was notable.
