Pauline’s is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Chad is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Great French bread pudding. Must come back. 10/10.

Breakfast was delicious, both the eggs benedict and the omelette were spot on, just as described on the menu. The only downside was some confusion around service; we only saw our server when they came to take the order and again when it was time to pay inside. Otherwise, the food itself made for a great start to the day.

Service was good. Atmosphere was nice. The spinach and feta omelette was the WORST I’ve ever had. Barely any feta and a huge clump of spinach the middle of the omelette. The egg was super thin so it was transparent. I’m so disappointed

Food was really good and portions are fairly large. Price was fine, with some items being reasonable and some being way too high for the item (my eggs and potatoes with peppers and onions were 9 but oatmeal was 11).
Now the bad; tables were crammed outside and when we were seated, the table next to us wouldnt shut up about how close we were so we moved tables. Service was fine until we did so. Took 25 minutes for someone to take our order (we were just about to leave). Food took forver to come out, they didnt ask if we wanted refills until we were done with our food. I was getting up to get a box cause the server again disappeared. I ended up leaving to go walk around while my husband spent another 10 minutes trying to find a server so he can pay and leave.
Food was honestly great, but the service was nonexistent. Should not take an hour and 15 minutes to get 2 orders of eggs with potatoes. I will see if it was a fluke and come again but I dont think ill keep coming if the service is always this bad

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots in Chicago.
I went in by myself just to get some pancakes and eggs everything was going well until I sat down and the table smelled like a dirty dish rag everything was sticky there was gnats and flies flying around non-stop the potatoes and eggs had 0 season the pancakes we're pancakes overall $35 just for my breakfast just to take three bites and leave because of the overwhelming fly and gnat and ants

Overpriced, underwhelming, needs an update. Food had 0 seasoning, please start adding salt and pepper to your eggs and potatoes. Salt and pepper shakers were very dirty, the place needs an update and a deep clean. Staff was kind and I appreciate that but a lot needs updating otherwise.

My first time here at this place. Service was great. I took off one star on the food because I ordered a Lumber Jack special which has a steak on it steak was really simple if they add some seasoning it would be much better. But I understood that it's how they serve it, whatever I do or say nothing is gonna change. I'll definitely come back to this beautiful place for breakfast
Delicious 😋
