C ReyMarch 25, 2017Great brunch spot with all kinds of delicious breakfast and lunch options. Excellent coffee drinks, full bar, and seasonal outdoor tables make this a boozy brunch option. And it's reasonably priced.- XAugust 20, 2012Don't fear! The sugar for your coffee is in the unmarked hot sauce bottle. :) Also, the staff is super friendly, and free Wi-Fi is available. Sadly, the wifi signal is very spotty.
LOVE Janik's. Very straight-forward, tasty food. I've had the waffle, tuna melt, biscuits and gravy, and french toast, all were SUPES tasty. :]] add choco chips to your waflle, nom.
Cecilia PinaAugust 9, 2014I would only order the parfait when this place first opened.. now I try a different plate each time I come. Love this place!!!!
Sean RandallJune 21Great breakfast, but not light. I had a fried chicken benny with gravy, she had a burrito. Loved them both.
Jenny PooreJanuary 30, 2013The chicken lime soup is soooo tasty! Definitely a must order during the winter (or for delivery as a hangover cure)- Zeabphotos/Doctorgroo Ben BaezAugust 14, 2013The lime soup is just like my moms use to make ... A must get !! Believe me it's really good !!
Chorizo Benedict! Not on the menu but incredibly tasty! Ask for it!
Tony RandallOctober 23, 2018The price is right. Also, the french toast comes with a white sauce that makes it taste like Cinnabon omg
Ask for a coffee to go, free of charge if you had a coffee with your meal!
Kenneth IlioApril 2, 2011Diet sized portions. Just enough to satisfy my craving for comfort food - steak and eggs plus hash browns (see pic) - and not ruin my medically-ordered diet.
My favorite breakfast place in Chicago! Great service, great food, great prices.
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 15, 2016Voted Best Bang for your Buck Brunch by Bitches Who Brunch in 2016!
Kurt UhlirOctober 27, 2011Janik's may have the friendliest owners and staff of any cafe in the city. Ask them how their day is going.
Try the French toast! The service is great here and so are the prices! Will be back!
Colin KleinSeptember 30, 2017Food is pretty good and prices are decent. However, I’ve been a couple times on weekends and service has always been slow.

Rob WolfeApril 7, 2010Crab cake sandwich is killer, as is the cream of chicken/turkey soup. Service is unbeatable.
