Best diner in Chicago, hands down. The food is always perfect. The staff and owners make you feel like family. Been coming here for 30 years.
Anne-Marie HodgeAugust 15, 2014The oven-baked omelets are excellent and not at all greasy, and you have the option to use egg whites. Excellent selection of all breakfast foods of great quality but value portions.
Dog friendly outdoor seating. The skillets are great as is everything else. The staff is friendly and attentive. This is our go to breakfast spot all year round..
PerryJanuary 29, 2016The big man special is great, especially if you come between 6am and 9am its on special. And the owners are always very welcoming.
Michael BenshoofJune 20, 2012Dont remember what I had, it was some typical breakfast food. It was pretty good for the price, the cute girl behind the counter was really friendly. 5 x better the the nugget.
Oscar DelgadilloOctober 11, 2014Just had their special Alps cinnamon swirl French toast. It was divine. Very fluffy and sweet.
Bob DeGraffApril 12, 2016Great French Dip sandwich and chicken noodle soup. Excellent service. Parking available around back.
Lenny GalloJanuary 2, 2014Warm, friendly clean diner. Classic breakfast food, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Love the new original Alps. One of the few upsides of the recession. WaMu really fixed up the place nicely and then Alps got it back. Great food. Family loves it
- You can get omelette a with whatever ingredients that you want!
Maritza RodriguezMarch 21, 2013Get John's Mess you will not be disappointed. The pancakes are delish!
Love this place! If you love sausage gravy, they have many dishes that give off a southern feel.
- Arte y Vida ChicagoJune 27, 2010The all veggie skillet was/is so good. Vegs are not over cooked. Perfect.
- Has awesome waffles and eggs. The hash browns rock!!!
Melissa S.May 31, 2012Really bland mediocre food, overpriced for the quality, hit-or-miss service, and the owner is extremely rude. Find another diner.

"The chilequiles with chorizo was excellent, so was the veggie bowl. We got a side of churro waffle for brunch dessert because we are pleasure warriors. Strongly recommended."
