Smack Dab is our favorite breakfast spot. It's basically the treat we get whenever we're craving brunch. We love the food, but it's also great to support a local business that actively gives back to the community!

Think my expectations were too high based on the reviews. Definitely not the worst biscuits and gravy I’ve had, but pretty mid compared to other places. Surprised that this place is rated higher than Honey Bear Cafe. Would rather wait in line there than come back here haha

Smack Dab is a favorite of ours that we are soooo lucky to have in the neighborhood! Great breakfast, generous portion sizes, and a business you can feel good about supporting (they do so much mutual aid and community organizing and support). We <3 Tini and the team!

There’s not a single thing on Smack Dab’s menu that isn’t mouthwateringly delicious. By far one of the best gluten free vegan brunch spots in the city.

My wife and I have brunch here almost every weekend. I get the same sandwich and she mixes it up. Smack Dab NEVER misses. It’s so delicious and the staff is so friendly. We bring all our out of town friends here too. We’re proud supporters of this little restaurant and will continue to be for as long as we live!
It was my first time here with my fiancé! What a lovely place!! Food was stellar and the service really topped it off for us. Easily going to become our brunch staple. Aidan and Sal were so kind and helpful, it really felt like such a lovely relaxed environment for us to hangout with no pressure to turn the table. It’s busy even closer to 1pm, but you’re able to still find a seat.
We tried the Bestest Sandwich and the Grits n Greens bowl. They were so so good! I’m a sucker for biscuits and pimento. It hit the spot!
Thanks to the lovely service staff there who truly made such a lovely brunch even better.

Diner vibes that are welcoming for all diets. Had the gluten free cheesy herb cornbread classic Sammie with onion jam and I will find it challenging to try anything else. This sandwich hits all the comfy feels... Especially with the sweater weather latte. Worth the drive... Especially on a Wednesday!
Incredible staff, from the front to the back!!!! Everyone makes you feel so welcome & they're so helpful with giving you recommendations!!! Definitely had to try the bestest pork sausage biscuit with the pimento grits!!! Just do it. I've also had they're peach on brioche (not the official name). Strawberry-matcha croissant & the almond croissant. The chefs do their thang 🙂 .
I'm definitely coming back every time I'm in Chicago. Don't forget to tip your staff!

A friend put me onto this spot, so I had to check it out and I’m glad I did. I ordered the Strip Mall Bowl with a side of sauteed kale, and it did not disappoint. The pimento grits with Just Egg, hash browns, and diced chicken sausage were absolutely delicious, and adding the sauteed kale took it to another level. Great portions, amazing flavor. I’ll definitely be back to try more items.
