The Berghoff by far has the best breakfast selection in ORD. Freshly made in front of you to order; you can't beat a Chicago tradition that is family owned/operated even inside ORD; No HMSHost here!

EaterFebruary 7, 2013This dining spot has its own seating area and a selection of sandwiches ranging from breakfast creations to corned beef and a Rueben. Flatbread pizza is also available alongside Berghoff beer drafts.Upvote12Downvote- Breakfast here is best in the ORD airport. Try the western wrap. Ham, cheese, onions, peppers. Can't go wrong! And if not your thing; go with something else. It's all made fresh in front of you!
Upvote5Downvote - Katy IonisJune 9, 2016Probably the cheapest real breakfast in an airport. Omelettes and breakfast sandwiches all between $5 and $9 freshly made to order, simple and quite tasty!
Upvote2Downvote - This is the only eatery and bar in the entire ORD that is privately owned and operated by the actual namesake. So you can trust 100% it's really the same as the real deal downtown!Upvote2Downvote
Francis StorrApril 7, 2013The Reuben is very good. If you want your beer in a glass, order it separately at the bar rather than with the food. Genevive, as others have mentioned, is excellent, and was great with our baby.UpvoteDownvote
Bill MoodyJune 20, 2013Great sandwiches. The corned beef sandwiches are very much like the classic Berghoff restaurant sandwiches. Don't miss them.Upvote1Downvote
Mark TraphagenApril 29, 2016By far the best place to eat and drink in Concourse C, not that there's much competition.Upvote1Downvote
Ann ThompsonJune 8, 2013Corned beef on rye is terrific here. Don't forget to get the pickle too.Upvote1Downvote
Chelsea L.April 22, 2012Get the Spanish breakfast croissant! You may have to tell the guy your order at least 3 times before he actually pays attn to what your saying, but it's good! NOM!Upvote1Downvote
Scott RienbeckJuly 30, 2011Best food in Chicago right here. You don't even have to leave the airport. Try any sandwich or wrap then tell me I'm joking. Have a beer too, even if it is before noon.Upvote1Downvote
Joshua NadalNovember 23, 2013The Cuban is moist and delicious and their lagers are excellent!Upvote1Downvote- Want a real breakfast? The Berghoff is the only restaurant at Ohare operated by the real owners! And their food is amazing! Try a western omelette. Ham, cheese, peppers, and a side of bacon! Awesome!

Brian StraussDecember 7, 2019The breakfast wraps are legit. I like the spinach one plus bacon or ham.UpvoteDownvote
Ben WildeboerMarch 27, 2011The Reuben is the most expensive item on the menu & it's worth it. Get it with a tasty Berghoff Dark Ale if you have the time. Best airport food ever.Upvote3Downvote
Song ZhaoAugust 27, 2015Good place for food and drinks. Had meals there a few times while traveling. Reuben is good.UpvoteDownvote
Megan AllisonMay 19, 2012If you have a long layover, a Reuben & an Oberon at the bar are a nice retreat. Underberg & soda is refreshing if you're in a hurry!UpvoteDownvote
Daiki NakajimaOctober 11, 2012A must if you're flying United or have the time to walk around before flight boarding. Sandwiches are amazing.Upvote1Downvote
Brian Van PeskiJuly 10, 2015The Chilled Vegetarian Wrap is vegan. One of the better bets as far as food options go.UpvoteDownvote
RourkeJuly 16, 2024Pretty decent airport breakfast in C Concourse 👍🏻 and the line moves quicklyUpvoteDownvote
Jeff DetrickMarch 25, 2013Food tastes great but $13.76 for a sandwich (no chips or fries, just a sandwich) and a soda is a bit outrageous!Upvote1Downvote
Jeiran HasanOctober 24, 2015Had an $8.5 Oktoberfest that I was disappointed with and the service was not super great, but it's the only bar in that part of the terminalUpvote1Downvote
Leah ArrOctober 16, 2011Good for a real breakfast. Eggs, yogurt, coffee, tea, sparkling water, breakfast "fajitas", beer. My kind of place.Upvote1Downvote
jon accarrinoJuly 25, 2017Expensive beer. One draft is as much as a six pack. But we're a captive audience with no where else to go.

Sudeep JainApril 23, 2013Drinking amber ale with veggie pizza ... Carved out mushrooms from the pizza and it tastes great now ..UpvoteDownvote
R SinghSeptember 24, 2011Have a Berghoff beer it is made by the Minhas Craft Brewery at it is amazing! Best beer ever! Especially the red lager!UpvoteDownvote
TaelerJune 4, 2012If you don't mind running to the bathroom in a couple hours, this is the place for you!Upvote1Downvote
Ginny MNovember 1, 2011Roast beef moist and delicious! Large portions. Good beer. Take it to go or eat in.Upvote2Downvote
Leena POctober 1, 2012Roast beef panini is great! Toasted and they carve the roast in front of you. :)UpvoteDownvote
Brian LangelJanuary 20, 2014Hand carved sandwich and a Berghoff Lager, mmmm, preflight joyUpvote1Downvote
Paul EJuly 14, 2013This place is a pain if you're traveling alone - no table service, and the food and drinks are in separate rooms.Upvote2Downvote
Dave GregorMarch 7, 2011My 6 year-old makes better wraps. Their Pesto is not.. Try the rueben & root beer. Tips?! LOLUpvote1Downvote
MeghanSeptember 4, 2010After taking my first bite of the sandwich and almost choking on the rubbery bread I'd say you should go with the bagel or croissantUpvoteDownvote
Joe WardOctober 9, 2013Guy preparing food was so rude I found out how delicious the deep dish pizza was next door ;)UpvoteDownvote
