Jean WoodardJuly 24, 2014"Egg"-cellent ;) We go here for breakfast every time we're in Chicago! It is a little expensive for breakfast but worth it! Also, the service is friendly but can be a little slow.
Peyton KellerJuly 20, 2016The Canadian bacon was awesome. The chocolate chip pancakes were out of this world!!!
Morgan GrimesJuly 7, 2019Very good food , everything we ate was amazing ! Would recommend trying this place. Also they have everything , breakfast and lunch options to choose from !- Christopher FlossDecember 5, 2014My wife and I like this location for a good all-American breakfast in the downtown area. Very busy Sunday mornings, but the staff is very efficient.
NoraMarch 21, 2014The egg white omelette with mushrooms, red peppers & spinach is way too fluffy and big a portion for me. But the service is lovely. Our server is friendly.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 30, 2015Best place to get breakfast. Generous portion. The hash brown, pancakes and waffles are so good. Order some fresh fruits!
azewdeAugust 8, 2013Awesome breakfast place...contender for best breakfast ever. Tommy boy skillet and strawberry cheesecake pancakes are incredibly good.
Kevin ArtsDecember 21, 2014Solid breakfast joint featuring eggs, obviously. The classic Benedict was pretty good. Would be a smart choice for families.
Steph BaezaJuly 15, 2012French toast is not worth $11. Two slices? And it wasn't phenomenal. Go for the Tommy Boy skillet or an omelette (big as your face) to get your money's worth. Or just go to Yolk. :)
Katie CatApril 5, 2014Fresh squeezed OJ was great! No wait despite crowd, super fast service! Fruit was fresh. French toast was very good!
James HowaldJune 19, 2011Very good. Fresh squeezed OJ. Fresh vegetables in skillets and omelets. Cooked perfectly and good service. Plus it's a good atmosphere. I'd recommend this place
Steve KNovember 8, 2015Super friendly staff, open late, crispy bacon, drinkable coffee. What's not to love??
toluAugust 31, 2013Make your own scrambler featuring chorizo, american cheese, and bacon is divine, but be warned, no bloody marys or mimosas here
Caron BOctober 20, 2011I liked the Eleni's egg whites & whole wheat pancakes. There was no problem asking for it scrambled. Food came fast! No lines on a Thurs 10-11a. Server, Lauren, was awesome!
Tia FosterAugust 7, 2014Very very good late night breakfast spot! Get any of the scrambles(with egg whites of course!)
Kavita BabaApril 11, 2015Dinery breakfast food and you're always likely to get a table. Ignore the eggs and come for a waffle@or pancake.
Diana ArboledaDecember 22, 2013Real fresh squeezed orange juice, and the toast is amazing. Get a bag of bread to take home!
Munzareen PadelaJuly 28, 2013Amazing food. They're open late on weekends but get a table before 3am since it gets super crowded!
Dallas WinklerApril 28, 2013Saturday morning was very busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. Great service and HUGE portions.
Raquel HenryMarch 22, 2011Oh. My. Gosh. The best breakfast in downtown Chicago. Everything on the menu is great. My favorite is the old-fashioned french toast.
Dwayne WestleyJuly 10, 2013Great food ,, large portions ,,, and the only place we've found that serves actual hash browns.
Francesca CarolinaMay 12, 2012Chocolate banana crepes yum! My daughter dropped her sausage link on the floor when one of the staff saw her crying he brought her another:)

Shqipron QunajJune 1, 2012I created myself an omelette with steak, chicken breast, feta cheese and pepper jack cheese! It was sensational!
German KontorovichSeptember 3, 2013Papaya fresh juice was simply rottem. The response was - it can happen with fruits... common. What a response...
Ajay SalpekarJuly 6, 2011Try the fresh-squeezed orange juice. Real, and refreshing. Not your typical juice trying to masquerade as fresh-squeezed.
Daniel DoellingJuly 13, 2015I got the protein omelette for breakfast. I was full for the rest of the day.
Yasmin KaradayiJune 30, 2011Get the bananas for bananas wafflle. Then ask for nutella instead of chocolate chips and add raspberries. It's phenomenal.
Anthony VillareOctober 23, 2011Gotta stay with the eggs. French toast--very good. Pancakes aren't really worth getting. Service, very good.
Laney BMay 21, 2011Huge place, quick seating, quick food. If you like spicy, try the chorizo omelette or the Caliente wrap.
Brad HobackMarch 21, 2011Breakfast was great. Tommy Boy Skillett is where it's at. pancakes are good too. Service at 11am on Monday was fine.
