Went there before and brought my dad. Good is always good and service is always excellent. I can’t get enough of the Swedish crepes.

Pretty expensive for the amount of food provided. Also very tight and cramped.

The old Viking breakfast is now the Odin breakfast, and it's still the same wonderful combination: 2 eggs (mine are over medium), choice of protein (l choose Swedish sausage), toast (mine is limpa), and I ask for my potatoes crispy. Also Swedish pancakes, and, of course, lingonberries!

Service is very slow, we weren’t allowed to sit until the whole party is here, and the menu requests 20% gratuity and they calculated our total with 25%. We also had to pay in-cash only, none of these details were told online or on the website. If you’re planning to eat here, don’t expect common courtesy.

Got the Frigg, the ligonberry cream cheese in the crepes was to die for. Everything was delicious and the service was fast.

Awesome staff😏 ! Yellow pea soup is underrated. If you love those rival cucumber recipes from TikTok, try their pickled cucumber salad!
Just remember it is a small tight place.
Food was average, but the staff were really pushy for us to pay our bill and leave. Wasn't near closing time nor was it full

Catering service was great! Luis helped me determine how much food to order for my party size and we were able to feed everyone and have some leftovers. The pork & veal meatballs, mashed potatoes, and lingonberry jam were superb!!!

The food here is only ok. It's average breakfast food with a slight twist. Riding the coattails of reputation and tradition.
Delicious breakfast and lunch options with a Swedish twist. Loved the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry. Very nice staff and the decor is charming and rustic. Makes a nice change.

Lovely little Swedish Restaurant tucked in the Andersonville neighborhood.

The food was yummy, but not anything special. The crepes were very good though! It’s a cute little place that gets quite crowded.
Although my friends and I found very interesting how there’s a “sharing fee” of $5 if you want to split one of the big breakfasts with someone else. I somewhat understand the extra effort for the kitchen to split a meal, however, my friend said “okay, well I’ll just have the full meal and we could maybe have an extra empty plate”, but apparently the fee applies to that as well???? It was either we pay $5 to share or we pay $3 for an extra side of toast and then they could allow us to share???? What?? I’ve never even heard of that in my life.
Additionally, when we’re getting ready to pay, we noticed the tip was automatically added to the total. We were a party of 4 but perhaps we missed somewhere that gratuity is automatically added to the bill for a certain number of people in a party.
Either way that was really weird. Food was okay though!
