5 stars all across the board. The skillets were fantastic, the atmosphere was great — it’s the textbook definition of a perfect diner. I went with my friend, Stella, and the owner gave her a free milkshake. So kind!! This is my new favorite breakfast spot and I can’t wait to come back.

I visit my daughter in Chicago 2/3 times a year.
We have to stop by before I head back to L.A.
Always so fresh and fulfilling!
The servers are alway so attentive.

If you’re looking for a true Chicago neighborhood gem, Stella’s Diner in Lakeview is it. Walking in, you immediately feel the history and warmth of a family owned spot that’s been around since the 60s. The staff treats you like you’ve been coming there forever and they’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
