    Everything they do is on point. Amazing seasonal pancake specials, delicious chili, huge omelets and breakfast sandwiches, and even great salads. Super crowded on the weekends but well worth it.

    The closest thing to a diner you’ll find in Chicago. Family owned and operated, cozy, and with a broad but entirely delicious menu. Wonderful breakfast sandwiches, omelets, club, pancakes, & wraps.

    Tish and Paul, the mom and pop who own this joint, are terrific. She's the sergeant, while he chats with customers. Get the corned beef hash, or the turkey sausage scrambler.

    Come for breakfast or lunch!! Omelette's are fresh & flavorful! The chicken salad is Tish's recipe & the best. Burgers also thumbs up with sweet potato fries.

    The smoked salmon & cream cheese omelette is a Jew's dream and a goy's heavenly breakfast. Amazingly tender salmon with about a 1/2 stick of cream cheese in the middle. BONUS: fruit on your pancakes.

    Grody to the MAX! Waitress gave us dirty looks. My eggs came out green-ish. And tell me how you mess up pancakes at a place like this... Over priced. Go to the Golden Nugget across the street.
