Victor was our server, he was beyond awesome! Excellent food, I got the 2222 breakfast....bacon AND sausage and it was priced great. The woman who sat us was great too, she was lively and interacted with my son. Close to the L trains too, we came from downtown to try this place. Totally recommended.

The best late night/early morning place for literally anything you are craving. Their menu is massive and I always want to order everything on it because it’s so good!! My favorites are the mozzarella sticks, the countryside skillet and the Nutella crepes.

I finally decided to come here after passing this place a million times ? Breakfast food is my favorite food, so I was eagered to get in here and eat. I ordered the 2222 combo, that came with either pancakes or hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, and eggs. I got chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, and turkey links. Automatic points to them for having turkey link sausages available. Too few restaurants offer turkey links. They also had Arnold Palmer (Iced tea mixed with lemonade). Before I review the food, I want to highlight waitresses Ashlee and Paola. They provided lovely service. Very pleasant ladies. Now the food was good. It doesn't stand out, but it was good. The establishment was clean. All the party goers in the Goose Island and Old Town areas come here after club and bar hopping. I see why. It's a good place to go to sober up or just chill and eat decent food.

Came in for my daughter’s 5th birthday & was greeted by a glass of water spilling on the table and unto my older daughter’s lap. No worries I understand mistakes happen. The waitress gave the most unapologetic apology. As she rushed to dry the table. She asked if we wanted anything else besides water in response my 5 year old daughter said lemonade. No compensation was offered. We asked how much was the lemonade in response it was nearly 5$ so we asked for the toddler sized lemonade. Instead of saying “hey, since I spilled the water all over the table the least I can do is put the lemonade on the house” attitude was unwelcoming. I ended up ordering the Buffalo wings with an uncharge for all flats. Received my Buffalo wings & there was literally NO SAUCE on them. I refused to eat and I denied waiting for them to remake the wings and the manager offered to take the wings off the tab and or discount. 10 mins later the manager says the chef told him that they will have to take the wings off if I don’t eat them. ?. Went to one of my favorite spots to one of the least favorites.

Awesome Chicago Diner. We went here around 9:00 in the morning on a Saturday with our young kids and we were sat in a booth within a minute. Good friendly atmosphere. The whole staff were sweet to our boys. Friendly FAST service. The food was great. I'll be back over in this area more when I come to town. I look forward to going back.
It is a diner experience, what can I say. The three people I was with all got salads, which were huge. I got the turkey burger that I liked. Probably a frozen patty, but I was hungry. They don't skimp on the food.

While in town for a concert we DoorDashed some late night munchies. We ordered the chicken kabob meal, the Monte Cristo, the Club Sandwich, and some hash browns. The chicken kabobs were good. Flavor was on point, slightly charred, seasoned well. It comes with a generous portion of rice, iceberg lettuce, fixins like onions, tomatoes, cukes, Tzatziki sauce, and 4 pieces of fried pita. The only downside to this meal is the 2 kabobs are so, so small compared to the rest of what you get, so you're mainly eating rice/salad. The Monte Cristo was mediocre and flavorless. The potato salad was even worse, with no flavor or seasoning (took 2 bites and threw the rest away). The club sandwich was decent. Again, mostly flavorless, but noticed there was real turkey used so at least it's not some ultra processed cheap lunch meat. The club sandwich meal came with a generous portion of fries but they, too, were bland and unseasoned (also no ketchup was given with the order). The hash browns were, by far, the most disrespectful potatoes I've ever had in my life. I didn't know you could mess up hash browns, but now I do. These aren't your normal shredded crispy hash browns. They're wide, weird scrags of potatoes, with no crispiness whatsoever and a flavor reminiscent of wet cardboard and drywall. I have never tasted a worse potato dish. I find it hard to comprehend how they could've actually removed the potato flavor from these hash browns but here we are.
Overall this place was less than mediocre, 4/10 stars. This place gets stars for large portion sizes, decent prices, and fast service. That said, unless you're desperate for food, I would go elsewhere. We DoorDashed so maybe the food is better in person consistency wise, but the lack of seasoning and flavor makes me think I'd just be disappointed sitting in their establishment rather than my hotel room. Will not be eating here again unless there's an apocalypse.
