We stopped in for a quick brunch on our way out of Chicago, and Yolk did not disappoint! I had the pork belly sandwich from their test kitchen menu, and it was one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever had! My Americano was also super tasty, the espresso had a really nice strong, almost brown sugar flavor to it. I would recommend Yolk to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast or brunch.

6/22 my friend and I went for brunch. they ordered french toast which was a plentiful dish in size but lacked greatly in taste. It tasted of bread and syrup no, french toast flavor at all, however, it was dipped in an egg concoction of some sort being as though you could see the fried egg on the corners of the bread. This the ONLY reason I never order french toast from chain restaurants, the quality isn't there and I despise syrup & egg flavor together; especially when I'm supposed to be eating french toast...and yes I tasted the french toast it lacked in flavor greatly. I ordered the 5 egg omelet which was good but, inconsistent in size to when i previously ordered through food delivery app. However, what was consistent was the missing syrup & butter for the pancakes. This occurred when i ordered take-out and while i dined in 🙄. I work in the area and everytime my co worker orders from here they forget his syrup & butter consistently. So now he sticks with Tours De Jour it isn't breakfast but it's consistent >his words. It's disappointing really we, work less than a block away from Yolk and always need a meal before starting our shifts. O well! I can say that this is the only location I've encountered this lack in quality & service.

I was extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. I always come here specifically for the Red Velvet Stuffed French Toast, but unfortunately, it wasn’t available and no one informed me when I placed my order.
When the food arrived, I immediately noticed it looked different. After taking a bite, I realized it wasn’t the same dish I was expecting, so I decided not to eat it. However, my child had already started eating one piece.
What upset me most was the way the manager handled the situation. Without any explanation or courtesy, they simply walked over and said they needed to take all the Red Velvet back. I understand policy is policy, but I believe the situation could’ve been handled more respectfully—especially considering my child was already halfway through eating. A bit of understanding and better communication would’ve gone a long way.

Odd place, not my favorite.
This place has a lot of potential because of location, but the food does not hit I got a buffalo chicken wrap with some fries. It was not my favorite, and it was overblown by the buffalo without anything in the wrap to make it more dynamic. Apparently this place has a test kitchen, I would retest the food.
They have a nice iced coffee. I did come here around 1pm, sat outside (no one else was outside but it was nice out) and they close early, so it was hard to get some items from the waitstaff and I felt a little abandoned outside.

pricey, eggs taste like coconut oil. Don't like that taste at all. When I pay a high dollar amount for small meal it should taste like what I paid for. Sausages are fire though. Shame about the coconut eggs

This was my first time trying Yolk. I was excited to try the turkey burger as I do not eat beef or pork. However maybe I would have had a better experience if I tried something more breakfast like as I was extremely disappointed in the quality of meat being served. The burger came bare with nothing but a side of ketchup. My server was nice and accommodating as the burger looked very underdone and had to be taken back to be cooked longer. Between the prices and quality I don’t see myself returning.

I went here with my ex sister and law to discuss arrangements. I was turned off that there were no mimosas. It would have made talking to this b word a lot easier. The food was good tho.

?Yolk in Chicago is a popular breakfast spot, but the experience can be a little disappointing. The food is average and doesn't stand out as anything special compared to other options in the city. ??
The restaurant is usually quite busy, which can make the experience less pleasant due to waiting and noise. ?♂️?️ The service is adequate, but not exceptional, and sometimes it seems that the staff is a little overwhelmed. ???
Overall, Yolk is a decent option if you're looking for a breakfast in a central location, but don't expect a memorable dining experience. ??️

This is a great place to eat breakfast/brunch. I enjoy coming to eat here. Please dine in and eat outside if you can. The servers are nice and decent. There is a great variety of food if breakfast is not your thing. Parking can be difficult to find. However, Sundays the parking is free so that's a plus.
