Adam SigelOctober 15, 2017The almond croissant French toast is one of the best I’ve ever had. Hipster Benedict (with avocado) and brisket hash also excellent. Oh and the whole place is a shrine to Ron Swanson.
Maribel SuárezMarch 12, 2017First time visit... love the place. My burger was cooked to perfection. Also I had Ceviche as an appetizer, it was deelicious. Nice ambiance and friendly staff. I recommend it!
GinaDecember 27, 2014Customer service was fast & friendly, immediately seated & attended to within minutes. Our waiter was so nice & didn't hesitate to give recommendations. Had the house burger and cajun fries. Yum!
ben mApril 24, 2017Solid brunch spot. I'm more of a savory guy but plenty of options for those with a sweet tooth. They also have 3D Mickey Mouse pancakes for kids!

Redeye ChicagoJanuary 6, 2015Brunch by day, burgers by night. That's the M.O. at this week-old Ukrainian Village spot in the former Chickpea storefront. They serve Mexican-leaning breakfast fare such as chilaquiles and more. Read more
JenKuduJune 2, 2015Pumpkin cinnamon roll pancakes are incredibly sweet, nice for a split. Skip whisk hash, it's pretty bland. The sweet potatoes taste boiled. One of the strongest cups of coffee I've had too.
Antonio BurrowesFebruary 11, 2018Buffalo chicken hash and eggs 😍 my spouse and I really enjoyed this place plus it’s byob so we made our own mimosas #sundayfunday
Erika DavisJuly 4, 2015I got the David's special (creamy cheese grits with shrimp and bacon) and it was delicious. Coffee is pricy but was tasty as well.
Bitches Who BrunchApril 29, 2015This rustic-chic spot has something for everyone with their extensive brunch menu. Their signature pear pancakes, coupled with their BYO policy, are a sure fire hit.

BommyNovember 15, 2016Food is nothing spectacular but still tasty. Egg white omelette comes with delicious potatoes and housemade english muffin. Biscuits and gravy is incredibly filling.
Devin DembyOctober 11, 2015I had David's Special for breakfast here and it was amazing! Shrimp, bacon, mushrooms, and scallions in a creamy wine sauce over cheesy grits.... Delicious!!!
Bitches Who Brunch ManagerDecember 8, 2015Voted Best BYOB Brunch: The wait at WHISK in West Town may be hefty, but the pancakes and BYOB policy are worth your precious time. Read more
ᴡ HallidayJune 19, 2017One of the best restaurants in Chicago. Hands down one of my favorite salads I've ever had and amazing atmosphere. 10/10
JayMarch 2, 2019I had the nutty French toast and it wasn’t my favorite consistency. However, the staff was nice and it had a homey vibe. I’ll probably go back and try an egg dish.
They have, hands down, the best wings I've ever had. It's byob so get the liquor of your choice at Mariano's across the street to mix with their crazy soda selection.- Redeye ChicagoFebruary 5, 2015Check out the Ron Swanson burger, a half-pound burger wrapped in a pound of bacon topped with four ounces of bacon mayo and served on a potato bun with fries.

jesse whitmoreMarch 12, 2015Best sweets for brunch, best burgers for dinner, but other things for every taste in between!
- Bitches Who BrunchApril 19, 2016We recommend getting here early, so you can take part in the beautiful outdoor space with your own BYOB options. Read more
Claire PistekApril 3, 2015Great brunch. ..we had some crazy delicious Caramel pretzel pancakes and biscuits and gravy. All good!
Their brunch is one of my faves in the city. Bring back the BLT Benedict!
Sterling WalkerFebruary 10, 2016Great shrimp po-boy and the Ron Swanson is nothing but food porn on a plate. #WHISKFTW
KristinJuly 5, 2014The cream cheese flavor over powers the snicker french toast. Service was just okay. DARK MATTER coffee blend was excellent.
- Sterling WalkerFebruary 10, 2016Great shrimp po-boy & the Ron Swanson burger is nothing but food porn on a plate! # WHISKYFTW
Bruce Winche'llJune 14, 2014Pretty good. They are still working out the kinks with service but I liked my meal and will go back.
Jillian BurnickasFebruary 5, 2015Everything I've ever eaten here is just okay. The description in the menu sound amazing but the execution is a little weak. My burger was way over salted too.
