“5 stars all around! This is your classic diner with a warm and friendly staff, delicious food, and great prices.

I love that they have breakfast combos with different options. They don’t make you order sides to get everything you want!

“I loved it. Have been passing by this place since over a decade ago and never had the time. By coincidence I checked it out a few days ago and I ordered a double cheeseburger with onion rings and it was delicious! I also had a chilli which I recommend if you’re into dips! Very good service. Modest prices.“

“Food was hot and delicious. Manager attentive. Great service.“

“We went to Alexander’s for breakfast on my brother’s birthday. The staff was exceedingly nice and sang happy birthday to him.

On that day, there was something wrong with the waffle maker so they told us it would be a 30 minute wait. We ended up waiting over an hour for our food. The staff were very apologetic and comped our food. Very impressive service!

The food was delicious and we will definitely be coming back for breakfast another time.“

“Can’t get much more Chicago than this. Chicago is blessed with many small neighborhood diners. From breakfast to lunch they have it all. Chef Helen is everyone’s favorite babcia (grandmother). Be sure to stop by and say hello! She’d be happy to see you.“

“OMG - what a great place! We tried corned beef hash, pulled pork hash, pancakes, and chipped beef. All delicious and for me - best pulled pork ever. Plus super friendly staff and patrons. My new weekly spot“

“Food: I got a Gyro for the first time and it was good but was a lot of the same flavor, not much variance since the meat is all ground up. Probably just not for me personally. Pizza looked really good!
Service: the cashier we had was awesome and helped with recommendations for someone who has never been to Chicago or had Chicago food.
Atmosphere: loved the diner feel to the place!

Parking: Pretty small parking lot out front, fits maybe 10 cars.“

“Just had the monster gyros at Deerfield’s food truck Wednesday - one of the best gyro sandwiches I’ve had in a very very long time. Thanks for showing up guys highly recommend.!“

“Brilliant breakfast, great service and very friendly staff. Thanks to all the staff, Merry Christmas to you.“

“Perfect rainy morning to stop at the diner and I'm glad we did!
The Greek omelette with sliced tomato and feta was 10/10.
Country fried steak was very flavorful yet light/not greasy. I loved the potatoes. Orange juice was fresh. My daughter had mickey mouse pancakes with whip cream and perfectly done bacon. The server was very kind and homey! She made sure we were good without overbearing. :) thank you! Will be in again.“

“You really get your money's worth, plus delicious food 😋 😍 😜“

“The food was good! My only complaint is that we asked for our szechuan beef to be extra spicy, and it was made not spicy at all. I know my boyfriend and I are simple white people, but all we want is our Chinese to be so spicy that we poop fire the next morning. Is that so hard to ask for? 🥲“

“My go to when I’m in town!! Gotta have it!! Service and food is always great!!!“

“Awesome! I was waiting at 6:30 for the restaurant to open and saw someone opening the door. I asked him what time he opened up and he told me to come in and took great care of me . I'll definitely be back. Awesome customer service. His name is coco. Awesome guy.“

“omg just made my day. walk in and the music made me feel like i was home with my parents again. I so needed this. old times Singing to all the music. Plus my services was excellent . Food was great.“

“For roughly four decades this 24-hour restaurant hss delivered high quality fare, nicely presented and reasonably priced. What makes it special, besides the round the clock delivery of delicious food is a menu with excellent Mexican-American fare. Some of my experiences with Chicago's many excellent Mexican restaurants leads me to believe that not all the menu items are perfectly "authentic" but, why give a darn when it's so good? The kitchen is conscientious, the service is friendly, and the parking is often difficult during traditional meal times despite the fact that this is a six corner intersection. I have a monkey for their chilaquiles that I can't shake. That being said, it's worth it if one must feed a meter. If you live within a few miles and don't want to give up your street parking space overnight, you might check the CTA bus schedules since there are three bus routes going this way and that on the big converging arterial streets.
The ambience is characteristic of a no-nonsense diner. Try it, you'll probably like it. And if you don't, there are probably a few dozen places within a few miles, except not at 2:00 in the morning. Arriba! Arriba! Andale! Andale!“

“the salad is great my fevorite is the Greek salad“
