- Rhonda AlexanderFebruary 27, 2012OMG! The Schwartzy is so good, I think I might be addicted! The liver pate` is EVERYTHING!
If there is a long line to get in, order a bloody mary or mimosa while you are waiting.
Gnarly JargonSeptember 11, 2011Before you walk in make up your mind to eat inside this awesome place. Mexican scramble and root beer float = yum!
Jeffrey HerrJuly 28, 2010Go with the smoked brisket sandwich. No questions asked. You'll thank me! Oh, and tell Brad, the owner, you saw this on Foursquare. He's a great guy!!
Dan. MastrettaJanuary 16, 2012The food is excellent, Alex is a great Mexican waiter that was really nice and helpful.
Chauncia VLMay 7, 2011I had very good service here! Maggie is great! :-) def. Do the Tom waits 2am breakfast 1987. Amazing!!
- Paul BlackburnOctober 9, 2010The Tom Waits 2AM breakfast was money! Also, be sure to order the 11 city French Toast. Best I have eve had!
Kris ArmstrongDecember 28, 2011DO try the AMAZING peppermint ice cream, and way enough to share for 2 :)
Di ONovember 13, 2016I nonchalantly ordered a root beer only to discover it costs 6,79 + tax. Be warned.
Jackie Baughman-GuthrieJune 27, 2012Shared the cornbeef sandwich and cheese fries with another person and it filled us up.
Jill H-WJuly 22, 2012The lox and latke was the best breakfast I had during my one week stay in Chicago. I went back for dinner and had the Rubin's Reuben with pastrami and it was better than any Reuben that I've ever had!
Ashton BartlettMay 18, 2013I come here for the Apple Pie. Flammmme! I'd starve myself just to save calories for this dessert.
ISC ChicagoMarch 18, 2019Rubin’s Reuben (Open-Faced Corned Beef, Swiss, Sauerkraut, 1000 Island Dressing with Fries) - That was our corned beef and cabbage for Saint Patrick’s Day! And potato, too!
ShiriBiriJune 5, 2015Good was good but have all these weird rules and regulations like only 2 forms of payment per table. I asked them to break a 20 and the girl was like "I need to check with my manager" wtf
Jon HallJune 18, 2010The Eleven City French Toast and Lox & Latke are both great for breakfast (all day)! Thanks Brad, Larry, and Alejandro!
Anya D.July 3, 2013The only good thing about this place is the wait staff. The guy in the front (I assume the owner) comes off as a total dick. Food sucks and is way overpriced for the quality.
Jim MNovember 3, 2010Love the service. Love the atmosphere. This is our second time back--unlock the special on Foursquare!
Guillermo GutierrezOctober 11, 2011You have to try the special horseshoe burger with Wisconsin Chilli Cheese fries!!
Anthony MatesiMarch 27, 2010Protein scrambler is amazing and very healthy especially if you hold the cheese. If you must, just have mozzarella soooo goood!
ErikMay 28, 2016Good food but comes at a hefty price. Cheese on the fries was $2 extra, not worth it.
КMarch 29, 2014By diner food, they actually mean diner food. As in, it doesn't taste like anything and food is generally "meh." Beautiful space though; fun decorations.
Show up after 10:00 a.m. on the weekend to try their Bloody Marys
KarenOctober 6, 2010I got sick from the cheese fries, don't know why but I'll never get those again :( on the plus side, the cherry cola is the best I've ever had!
Rachel EddySeptember 27, 2011They give you ice cream at the end of your meal. The special isn't really a "special". Food is good though!

Tanarra SJuly 22, 2010Thanks to the Eleven City management team for the follow up on my last tip. I really do love your place, and will be back. No worries.
