Request a seat at the counter. You can watch the line work their magic and see all the dishes before they go out to the tables..
3 words: Fat Elvis waffles. For extra fun, say "thank you very much" to your server in your best Elvis voice. These are decadent and delicious with bananas, maple bacon syrup and peanut butter butter.
EaterOctober 31, 2013Features a wide selection of options available all day that will satisfy all. These reimagined diner classics include breakfast spaghetti ‘n clams 'n crab, pork belly pancake sandwich, and goat chili.
The Little Piggy Went to China is easily the best dish I’ve had here. Well-balanced and spicy enough without being overwhelming.
- The biscuits and gravy were maybe the best I’ve ever had. The mushroom sausage gravy was unique but still satisfied my craving for this classic dish. The biscuits alone were absolutely perfect. 👌🏽
Ashley RoseApril 28, 2018Be prepared to sit communally at this lively diner. The logo is too cute and the food is too big but come hungry and leave fueled for a day of site seeing. We 💕’s Bi Bim Bop & Sourdough Pancakes
- Diana FriessJune 20, 2019Can't find a table at Girl & the Goat? Have no fear, Little Goat is here! Renowned Chef Stephanie Izard offers a hip diner with elevated comfort food. Breakfast all day, lunch, dinner, & sweet treats!
Morgan McKeeSeptember 4, 2017Elevated yet homey bfast. Supplement your meal with a pastry (sticky bun if avail). The everything crumpets are a delish take on everything lox and bagel. Fried egg salad is new, interesting twist 🍳
Will RichardJune 3, 2019Bulls eye French toast is like chicken and waffles but savory and sweet turned up to 11, and still balanced. "Piggy goes to China" is an amazingly delicious fusion of breakfast and Chinese food.
Noah WeissFebruary 27, 2015This brunch is actually worth the hour wait. Famous chef creativity at moderate prices. French toast with fried chicken and an egg in the hole, and the pork belly pancakes.
My favorite diner in the city! So many great options including OKONOMIYAKI and This Little Piggy Went to China
Jon WadeApril 16, 2017Amazing food. Lots of gluten free options. Don't let your eyes be too hungry because the portions are huge. Make sure to at least get a half order of fries to share because they are magic ✨🍟✨
Claire WatkissMarch 31, 2018Such good food. Great atmosphere. Amazing waiters. Note: everything is a la carte meaning sides not included, but everything was very reasonably priced. Great flavors in everything we tried.
Loriah PopeJanuary 29, 2018Little Goat Latte, Cheesy Hashbrowns, Bullseye French Toast, Shrimp & Grits, Crab Dip, all incredible. Came here on a Monday and there was no wait. 100% recommend!
Phil WatsonMay 4, 2019All the inventiveness of Girl and the Goat, none of the struggle to get a table or the high prices. All-day breakfast is a huge plus—I like to stay on that side of the menu, personally.
Raymond PeckFebruary 17, 2018Ordered the Little Piggy Went To China, a daily omelette, crab dip, and the okanomiyaki. Everything was really heavy and with huge servings. Scone and sausage for the Little Piggy were highlights.
K. BurnsFebruary 1, 2019Super friendly staff and really good coffee. Don't sleep on the grits, the biscuits, or the parathas burrito. Visit the bakery on the way out and grab a cuppa and a cookie for the road.
Hannah SimonFebruary 19, 2016Split the pork belly scallion pancake and the goat burger (medium rare) patty melt style with my friend, and both were very delicious. Pork belly scallion pancake trumped for me, but not by much!
Sykes Jean-BaptisteJune 22, 2018To those who have ever had bad grits, this place is the exact opposite perfectly cooked grits with shrimp. Then you add the tempura mashed and it is a hands down home run. This chef knows their biz.
Angus RobertsonMay 3, 2015Go-to place for high end breakfast in the West Loop. If the full service area looks pricy the coffee bar area is great for Stumptown coffee and baked goods plus the substantial and tasty egg Naanwich.- Bora UnSeptember 18, 2013I always find that the portions are large so make it a point to share an entree and try a side or two for variety. Also, Elvis's waffles is scrumptious. If you go with a group, get it as dessert!
trillateezyJuly 3, 2015Great place for vegan alternatives. From basic sunny side up egg and toast combo to their loco moco bunless burger, they do right by your tastebuds. If you're feelin' frisky try the "The Little Goat".
Katherine M.July 14, 2015Wonderful brunch at a diner opened by the chef behind Girl & the Goat. Both inventive menu items and classics in an unimpeachably cute Wes Anderson-like setting. I loved the Went to China biscuit.
XinnieApril 7, 2018Get the okonomiyaki!! So tasty! My goat chop jae was delicious too! Will come back again 😊 do make a reservation though cuz it gets crowded.
C ReyJanuary 14, 2016Love this place for breakfast, lunch and all those in between meals. Los Drowned, the brussel sprouts, and cubano sandwich were all amazingly flavorful. All meats were tender and juicy. Bring friends!
Michael CottrellOctober 31, 2015Stump town coffee to drink, all of the items are incredibly unique. We had the "Little Piggy went to China" and the Porkbelly Pancake. The sides are served family style, which is such a nice touch.
Venugopal VenkatramanAugust 3, 2018Some of the best hash browns that I ever had. The portions were very generous as well, and the service was excellent. Overall, one of the best dining experiences that I ever had.
Lexi ZajdelDecember 17, 2013This place is the perfect gourmet diner for a casual bite to eat. The Brandade Pork Belly & Eggs dish is outstanding! Skip the hash browns though - too plain & greasy.
- Noah WeissSeptember 2, 2019Maybe the best brunch in America? The “BLT” on steroids (BBCCTP) and the pork belly scallion pancake were insane.
Matt BSeptember 22, 2014I think my chili cheese fries were delivered from the meat gods. De. Li. Cious. Followed by a Los Drowned sandwich and the Classic vanilla gelato sundae, I went home very full and very happy.
Cole KennedyAugust 22, 2015The caramelized onions on the patty melt are thickfreakness. The Sloppy Goat is everything you're hoping for. The Eames chairs will keep you comfortable while inhaling all the food.
J LJune 12, 2016I could eat just the hash browns here -- shredded finely with cheese and griddle-fried to crispy perfection. Ask for their homemade hot sauces.
Anthony GomezJuly 5, 2013This place serves STUMPTOWN COFFEE. Besides Intelligentsia, this is some of the best coffee you will ever have. Trust me, coming from a seattleite coffee nerd. Amazing stuff. Happy caffination!
JessJuly 8, 2014Paratha's burrito was amazing!! Delicious smoked fries - came with a group of 5 & ordered a side to share. After an app of nachos, 2 of the guys could only finish 1/2 of their burger. Great lunch!
Mary AlesandriniAugust 10, 20159: If they have any cinnamon rolls left, you get them. Busy atmosphere where you get to cozy up next to strangers adding to the fun experience! Crazy sounding menu, but it is all delicious!
EpicuriousJanuary 13, 2015This is the sort of place that lets you sample everything you really want to eat on those buoyant days when you ditch the carb count: shepherd's pie, pork belly pancakes, oyster po'boys, etc. Read more
Trisha TesmerMarch 28, 2014I could eat the goat chili cheese fries daily -- it is a must try. The bucatini special was a nice change of pace from my standard order there as well.
MehrFebruary 18, 2013Expect a trip here to take at least 3-4 hours on the weekend. The Cinnabun and little goat coffee were twists in classic dishes and the French toast had a unique but bold flavor. Worth the trip once!
Irini BoederFebruary 24, 2013Get a the Fizz cocktail at the bakery next door while you wait...best cucumber cocktail I've ever had! For dinner the nachos, French toast, fish tacos, or the goat patty melt are all delish!
Chris DuhaimeDecember 2, 2016In general the breakfasts here are pretty heavy and you can't order your basic eggs and bacon, but I had The bulls eye French toast. It was incredible!
Michael RoytmanFebruary 11, 2016The apple tomato soup and grilled cheese combo. Not a combo but make it one and thank me later.
I love everything I've ever had here, from the kale salad to the cookie milkshake. Everything is inventive, fresh and made with a flair only the Goat staff can execute.
Raed MansourMay 26, 2017Main menu has some vegetarian options (really good veggie quesadillas), but ask for their vegan menu and you'll be right as rain.
Shawn Mueller-BoddyJuly 12, 2019Other then the fact they put sause on the patty melt (who does that!?) it was fantastic! The Mac and cheese is quite top notch!
Samuel GiddinsMay 28, 2017Everything. The crab crumpets, fat Elvis waffles, tempura mashed potatoes, and cheeze it sundae were all worth the trip.
- If the special Barista's Choice drink is Oliver's Twist, get it iced. It has fancy chocolate and caramel and sea salt, but it's not cloyingly sweet. It's really amazing.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014The Fat Elvis Waffles with crunchy bacon bits, sliced bananas and peanut butter sauce. Big enough for 2 people, but who wants to give up any of that deliciousness?? Read more
