Way better breakfast-brunch restaurants in Chicago. Ordered delivery via Uber Eats, four items, three arrived( bacon missing). Nothing looks like pictures provided by Cracked. Taste bland. Wish i could post pictures to this review.

Poorly managed kitchen. Went on Memorial Day for a quick brunch but after being there for almost an hour we never received our food. Togo orders were being rushed out of the kitchen but dine in customers were stuck waiting on their orders as it appeared the kitchens main focus was the carry out orders. I asked the “kitchen lead” why the delay and his excuse was low staff. Dine in tables were open but people were still waiting on orders so no excuse outside of poorly organized staff. Left without food because there was a mixup with our order and they needed to “resubmit” it.

The food exceeded my expectations. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is cramped though.

I was excited to try this place based on the photos and reviews! We got 3 breakfast sandwiches and we were all really sad at the lack of flavor everything was made to order and hot but the bacon was skimpy so you couldn’t really taste it they use a small egg so it barely fit the sandwich and the rest of the sandwich is over powered by a plain airy bun with very little creamcheese, the whole thing was a disappointment. Totts were crisp and fresh but im sorry to say that they really need to revisit that recipe and if they are going to charge $2 for bacon at least add enough you can taste it.

Would be amazing if the potatoes inside my burrito would be cooked. They are always half cooked and ruins the breakfast

The food is top tier. Phenomenal brunch. Everything on the menu looked amazing and it was hard to decide on just one. The breakfast skillet (pictured) was excellent and the Irish coffee was solid as well. Our wait wasn't bad at all, though it took a bit to get the check. Overall great experience and would go

Not sure why this place isn’t completely packed; the food is amazing, I had the Tree Hugger grilled cheese and it was absolutely incredible. You can tell all of the food is house made. Our server was SO sweet. All around a wonderful place for brunch/lunch and I really recommend this be a place to try out!

I visited on a Saturday morning. It was not busy, so I got seated quickly. The waiter taking the orders was kind; the waiter bringing the food was not dressed in a way I would want someone handling my food, and she kept having to pull up her outfit. The coffees did not come to the table until after we were already eating and the waiter spilled it, she was not experienced at all. The cinnamon roll latte was not good, it tasted like a bunch of syrup and it was lukewarm. The coffee black was better than flavored.Ordered the smoked salmon on sour dour it had tomato and cream cheese and capers. If they left out the capers it would have been a little better it was so salty. I took them out myself but it could have used something else to make it more palatable. My friend ordered the biscuit benny and the eggs were perfect, the biscuit was dry. The hash browns were ok and didn't touch that chorizo dipping sauce, thought it was weird to blend meat. Also ordered the garlic tater tots with parmesan on top, the flavor is powerful, my friend and I could only eat a couple.Overall do not plan on going back.The decor was also clashing, the wall design with the inside hay and roaster decor. Couldn't figure out what they were going for.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible but will be a little tight getting in.

I've driven past Cracked on Milwaukee countless times, but it wasn't until one random Sunday morning that I finally ventured in. This little breakfast and brunch spot turned out to be a pleasant surprise.Breakfast food is like that reliable friend who's always there for you, and Cracked on Milwaukee takes that comfort seriously. I kicked off my day with four mimosas, and they were a delightful surprise – not just juice with a champagne tease, but a refreshing and slightly bubbly treat.Now, let's talk about the Cajun tots. I'd never tried them before, and they rocked my world. The seasoning was an explosion of flavor, a spicy revelation I wish I'd known about sooner.And those scrambled eggs? Simple but sublime. Fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with my tots.But here's the secret sauce: Cracked on Milwaukee is super chill. It's the kind of place you stumble into if you've had a rough night and need to conquer that hangover. The vibe is laid-back, and the food is the perfect remedy for any morning-after shenanigans.In a nutshell, Cracked on Milwaukee isn't aiming for Michelin stars; it's aiming for your heart (and your belly). It's the kind of place that adds a twist of hangover-friendly comfort to your breakfast adventure. So, if you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food to cure what ails you after a night out, give Cracked on Milwaukee a shot. You'll leave with a satisfied appetite, ready to face the day
