This was truly disappointing. The coffee is bland. I ordered waffles, a soft scrabbled egg and hash browns. If you want a breakfast devoid of spices (onions, garlic and butter) this is the place for you. If not move to the Waffle Lounge on 74th and State. I"ll never eat here again! read more

This is a busy breakfast spot. You can get parking on the street. They have a pretty extensive menu. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. I went with the French toast breakfast, which came the meat of your choice and eggs how you want. It was a large amount of food. The prices were average or decent compared to other places. It's a very down to earth and welcoming place. I hope that you enjoy. read more

Bacon and Jam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We found this restaurant while we were on a trip to Chicago. We have two young girls and we were looking for a fun yet cool family friendly place in the neighborhood. Of course I used Yelp to find a place that had wonderful food and friendly service. Upon entering the restaurant we were promptly greeted and sean to a table. They were very accommodating by bringing two high chairs right away and even gave our girls some crayons and a piece of paper to color on. The menu was everything I could've wanted for a brunch. I got the French toast plate, which was delicious and my husband got a breakfast burrito, and the girls shared some fruit. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt and her food came out very fast, which is really important when you have two children under two. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic and if you're in the area and would like a nice friendly diner with really great and comforting brunch food Bacon and Jam is for you. We will definitely be back when we are in the Chicago area read more

I found this nice breakfast spot, bacon, and jam in the suburbs of Chicago. It happens to be a hangout for Long enforcement and it's right across the street from the Catholic church.

I also had chicken sausage and eggs and hashbrowns. They were excellent. My wife enjoyed the bacon eggs hashbrowns with English muffins. Everything came out quickly. The coffee was hot.

Needed a breakfast place to meet a friend at. Saw Bacon and Jam someone posted on their tik tok video so decided to try it out. There is parking behind the restaurant but the lot was full. Plenty of street parking, however due to the crowd, it's tough finding a spot. The inside is on the smaller side but has as many seats/tables/booths that can fit. The waiting area is very small. Diner type of vibe. Our server was incredibly cool and down to earth. She remembered our orders and we had substitutions. I enjoyed a veggie omelette with hash browns and toast. The portions are huge and the food was really good. This is the perfect place to enjoy a good quick breakfast. They have a time limit on dining as it stays pretty crowded, which i appreciated! I'll be back for sure to try something different. read more

Bacon and Jam - Veggie omelette with hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Today was the second time going here with my dad. We had been before a couple of years ago when I had to send back undercooked pancakes. Lo and behold, his pancakes had a gooey center with a hard outer. The cooktop must be too hot so the cakes are cooked too hard on the outside but not left on long enough to cook the inside. My pancakes weren't gooey but they were hard and not fluffy. Otherwise, we both had omelettes. Mine was the Bavo. It was a 2.5/5 because it was lacking seasoning. He had the butcher and was also unimpressed. The hash browns were satisfactory. Lastly, the water carafe was dirty (see photo) and the water cups were covered with water stains. My dad asked for better cups and the server, Sheryl, was kind enough to bring us to-go water cups with lids. Sheryl made the experience much better overall. She even sent a manager after she had asked my dad how his experience was, and he mentioned the gooey pancakes and that this had happened to me during our last visit. The manager, a man with a brown beard, couldn't have been less interested. We told him we didn't ask for a manager, the server asked him to come to us. He said ok, took away the pancakes and left the table. I'd suggest going somewhere else if you're looking for a nice breakfast in the area. read more

What a yummy brunch! Upon walking in, we were greeted by several flyers of fallen police officers. After waiting approx. 30 minutes, we were seated amidst the hustle bustle of the Sunday brunch rush, a lively and fast paced vibe! We got the opa omelette and the cajun skillet, both with a side of pancakes with their famous sweet stuff - and oh wow, portions were generous and flavors were delicious! Overall, super yummy and a great bang for your buck! read more

Great fast friendly service I... I wanted breakfast but wasn't sure as there are many menu options for lunch as well. I did chose the French toast combo...with bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese and hash browns fried with onions! The half French toast was huge I got mine plain. The eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection and I could taste the real butter in hash browns and eggs! Bravo My sister enjoyed her bacon jam burger as well I will be back! read more

This place had us the first time and we made a return visit. The second time around, was better than the first time. You can't go wrong with BACON and JAM. It's definitely TEAMBROWN approved. The food, the service and the location is all good. Their ambiance is friendly, inviting, and comfortable. One thing for sure, you better make sure that everyone in your party is there at the same time. They won't sit you unless everyone is in together. read more

Bacon and Jam - Country Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was in Chicago with my wife for her cousins wedding. We found this place on Yelp and decided to go for breakfast. The staff were very inviting upon arrival and we were sat. We had to wait about 20 Minutes for a table as the place is cozy. If you have a group everyone must be there before being seated ( we waited a little longer because my cousin was late. Once sat we were greeted promptly and drink Oder taken. I had the half order of French toast which was a large portion (eggs, sausage links, hash browns and French toast). The eggs tasted a bit different (not sure how to explain it) had a tart taste to it. There were 3 of us and we all agreed. The rest of the food was good. French toast was moist and thick, sausage was very tender and flavorful, and hash browns were cooked well with no seasoning though. The coffee was great! One of the best cups I've had at a restaurant. Overall it was an enjoyable breakfast. Just change that egg recipe. read more

Bacon and Jam is on Chicago's south side in the Mount Greenwood neighborhood on 111th a few blocks west of Kedzie. It's a quaint spot, they do have their own parking lot, but you can also find street parking too. The hubby had the buttermilk pancakes with a Southwest Omelette which includes the grilled chicken, poblano peppers, goat cheese, corn, black beans and pico de Gallo. I had the very berry waffle which is made with challah bread and topped with strawberries and blueberries and drizzled with raspberry and vanilla sauces. It was great and I'll definitely be back! read more

Based on my first experience, Bacon and Jam won't be getting a second shot. THE GOOD: Staff was friendly and quick. It's a cozy. Neighborhood spot with a friendly buzz. A solo diner, they asked if I'd mind the counter rather than waiting for a table. I accepted, only to find that the other guest at the counter was watching a TV show on his phone, the show had an annoying laugh track, and he couldn't be bothered to use earphones. Not the restaurant's fault but rude and annoying. Coffee and a menu came quickly, and the coffee was good. Hearty without being over the top. Not typical weak diner coffee. My server was back within a very short time to take my order. THE NOT-SO The food. I had a half-order of biscuits and gravy that even a heavy dousing of Tabasco couldn't save. The gravy was pretty flavorless and tasted of flour, like it hadn't been cooked long enough. The biscuits were large and hot but also hadn't been baked long enough because they were still gummy in the center. Two scrambled eggs were fine and kept the visit from being a complete bust. At least I wouldn't have to leave hungry. Maybe I just chose poorly but I won't be giving it another shot. Sorry. read more

Service was very speedy. Omelette nice size with fluffy pancakes. I had Butcher omelette and added veggies. read more

While in town this past April, we met up with friends to this brunch spot. Let me tell you all the food was so good! I especially loved the blueberry and multigrain pancakes. They make delicious eggs which to me is how I just breakfast restaurants if their made fluffy and light; not hard. Also, the soup was so good and fresh. Also, our waitress so nice and personable. This will definitely be one of my fav brunch places when I travel back to Chicago. Try to support local, you won't be disappointed. read more

I guess the owner doesn't believe in heat because it was freezing in the place. I had to order tea just to stay warm. One of the employees even stated she was cold especially standing near the door. They give you more than enough food. No complaints about the food just needed some seasoning on the omelette. The corned beef hash was home made and I will definitely be back for it. I just needed to send my jas browns back because I prefer mine cooked longer. read more

Best cream of chicken soup you will ever have! It comes with these little biscuits that are SO good and warm and doughy. Typical diner-esque ambiance, nothing super special, but not uncomfortable. Service always friendly! Side of fruit is reasonably priced too for the times. Believe me, I've been to some places where a side of fruit is as much as six dollars and here it's just $3.50. You get a reasonable amount of fresh pineapple and mixed berries. I like! read more

To be fair, it's hard to get a five-star review from me for a basic breakfast. I've never known anyone to make an "amazing" omelet or hashbrowns, which is what I had. Everything from my food to the service was ok. It has a basic diner feel, which is fine, but not really my cup of tea. read more

Was excellent coffee but regular breakfast. Had their homemade corned beef hash (small cubes of corned beef mixed with pieces of onion, bell pepper, and cubed potatoes) eggs and French toast. I liked the hash but my ma said it wasn't flavorful enough for her. I'd go back, but not as a 1st choice! read more

Went there for lunch. They had flies. The food was pretty horrible, ordered a turkey bacon avocado wrap, one bit had avocado. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. The table next to us had two young kids who order chocolate milk. They complained it tasted sour. The whole experience was very off putting. It was a waste of $50. read more

Stopped in the morning and had a great breakfast. Country skillet with scrambled eggs, pancakes and a bowl of fruit. The country skillet, was a bit better that typical diner fare.
