We stumbled upon Flying Saucer while visiting Chicago and are glad we did. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is fun with nice indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff were friendly, helpful and on top of it. This is the type of restaurant I wish I had in my neighborhood. If you’re in the area it’s a must visit.
Great neighborhood breakfast place. Highly recommended.
I was very impressed by the breakfast burrito, its heavy on the vegan eggs and really hit the spot. Made me feel like a person

Flying Saucer serves comfort food with a twist, offering dishes like Huevos Volando and breakfast Burrito, with generous portions and delicious quiche. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with good service, friendly staff, and a kid-friendly environment. They provide plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, including amazing vegan pancakes and tasty vegan pastries, matching regular options. The house chai is amazing, and the coffee is good and fairly priced. The menu includes favorites like the burger with tots and biscuits and gravy, which are highly recommended by visitors. Many customers travel from nearby places and always choose this spot before leaving, appreciating the great coffee, friendly service, and merchandise. The food offers a variety of options for different preferences and dietary needs, with hearty choices like granola with yogurt. Visitors should note that the restaurant only accepts cash or ATM withdrawals, so coming prepared is advised. With a relaxed, no-frills vibe and attentive service, it’s a wonderful spot for a casual meal. While the decor could use more aliens and flying saucers, the welcoming atmosphere makes it a highly recommended place.
