Eric JanssenJune 20, 2013Awesome omelette! Enough to feed the whole family. Try it with Chicken sausage. And great Intelligencia Coffee!
Always get the frozen vodka lemonades! And don't worry too much with the menu, everything is fantastic!- L KApril 3, 2015The turkey club is massive. so is everything! And definitely get the homemade root beer.
Serious EatsMay 20, 2013The corned beef is always a good choice and is surprisingly juicy thanks to a decent amount of fat.
Jill H-WJuly 20, 2012French toast with fresh fruit and coconut. Heard thy it's the coconut that makes it awesome!

Leah NesyaSeptember 16, 2019Evvvverything is amazing. Such a great vibe! Highly recommend the corn beef hash
Shannon CarterApril 17, 2016The pastrami, corned beef with chopped liver, and brisket sandwiches are PHENOMENAL.
Tom GiglioAugust 21, 2011The Schwartzy is delicious, just not a ton of food. Order some fries, too, and you'll be good. I showed my server the 4sq special but didn't get any ice cream... I guess you need to hound them. :(
Anastasia KAugust 15, 2015Chef's salad, matzah ball chicen broth, smoked brisket sandwich - all delicious!
Arturo AbundesJanuary 16, 2012Try the Tofu scramble sounds weird but is pretty amazing. There's this guy who takes your order, Alex, he's very efficient and smiling
Maria HayhowJune 26, 2014Good brunch food and great drinks! Go early on Sunday, they open at 8:30AM! Read more
Great food, HOT SOUP, no phone service. How do business people answer calls, emails, and do business people stuff here? I just wanna check in on foursquare. Have to step outside.
Hayley HochstettlerJune 17, 2011This place is incredible. Friendly service, incredible food, and the owner loves this place and his customers. Come here anytime and in any mood
Amazing food. Great service. Tip: split a sandwich. They are huge!
Tony MagturoAugust 7, 2010Had great sandwich (The Shwartzy), good Matzah Ball Soup, excellent Carrot Cake and get the Foursquare check-in special (Homer's Ice Cream Samples - Peach is delicious)!

It's called Eleven City Diner because it's the best diner within the 11 closest cities.
Their Moshe Cristo is my favorite sandwich I've ever tasted anywhere. Ever. And it's my favorite Bloody Mary in #chicago.
Best place in south loop for breakfast. Try the challah french toast. You will be glad you did.
Alexander McRaeAugust 9, 2021Can’t go wrong with any breakfast option, but make sure to get the House Potatoes
You can't go wrong with some matzoh ball soup, corned beef and fries.
One of the best places in Chicago! Great food, amazing service, and an all around wonderful atmosphere. The omelets and French toast are fantastic!
Green Label SoundJune 16, 2011Around the time we recorded "Boomin," we were living across from 11 City Diner. This song reminds me of the times we spent together eating their french toast. -Mikey from The Cool Kids
Doug HeimannFebruary 15, 2014Don't come here by yourself, even when they first open, and expect a table. Tried to force me onto the bar, counter, then a two seater table in the very back by the kitchen. I complained, got table.
Awesome South Loop joint well worth any wait time. Egg cream brings back great memories for my wife who grew up in Brooklyn. We love this place!
Angela Motola-DonofrioJune 21, 2013So Good! Everything we had was delish;) We'll definitely be back.
The Balsalmic Portabella Shroom Burger is the heartiest veggie sandwich in the City of Chicago & the frozen vodka lemonade is a tasty frosty beverage.
Suzanne HaireJune 6, 2012food: ok, the server: nice, and unlocking the icecream sample: yum! my food came out wrong TWICE, Yolk was a better experience overall!
Shannon LittleJuly 31, 2011The French Toast is killer. They also have great bloody marys. If you come on the weekends, expect a wait.
Sarah SpillipsAugust 22, 2015If you want to experience a diner - you have to go to this place. Milkshakes and food galore
James HensleyOctober 30, 2010The schwartzy is amazing. This is the best deli in chicago and a reasonable price for the quality. Highly recommend eating here.
