The cinnamon rolls definitely lived up to their reputation. They were soft, fresh, and generously topped with icing, making for a delicious treat. After seeing all of the other dishes being served, we'd love to come back for a full meal on a future visit. If you're in Chicago, Ann Sather's cinnamon rolls are absolutely worth trying, whether you dine in or grab them to go.

For breakfast the food was fine I think based off other pictures you can tell you get what you pay for nothing 5 star worthy but for a hungover breakfast it did the trick.

I knocked off another star just because it wasn't the most aesthetically please restaurant.

First and foremost, the food is delicious and affordable. Win-win! My husband and I love everything on the menu, but we definitely have our favorites. My husband loves the buffalo chicken wrap and I love the caramelized onion and bacon quiche. Yum! He likes the side of chips and I love the side salad. The salad is the perfect sweet and savory combo with greens, apples, and vinaigrette. We love the staff! They are so friendly, helpful, and welcoming! We are so grateful for their kindness and professionalism! Prices are great, the space is delightful, and everything is clean! Plus, if you need items to go, they have all your needs! We like to get a full quiche to slice into pieces and put in the freezer for lunches at work throughout the week. We also like to get the pies for impressive items to bring to a dinner or gathering with friends. We love First Slice and how it is a staple of our Andersonville/Edgewater community! If you've never been, we recommend you stop by next chance you get !

Had to add my protein so added chicken. I am a big fan of all of the things that came in this sandwich so it was an easy choice for me. Great sandwich indeed. The creamy goat cheese blended everything so well together and the crispy cauliflower added a delightfully refreshing crunch. And can't forget to mention that poached pear...genius addition to add a little sweetness without over saucing and taking away from the healthiness of a veggie sandwich lol. And how can't I not get a slice of pie from a place with the word Pie In the name? Went with a slice of Michigan Sour Cherry and...WOW. PERFECT crust married to the perfect filling. I'm so satisfied right now (I literally am writing this post meal) Such a small, simple and charming sit down cafe. My type of joint. Just what the doctor ordered for lunch.

Service was mid. Nothing crazy. Not rude but pretty dead pan. Like you know she hates being a…read moreserver but is still good at it. She did seem to be rushing me out though in a fairly empty diner. A diner where people traditionally spend a decent amount of down time at historically in concept. Just the shitty world we live in now post covid. The 1 star is for the sorry excuse of most of the food I ordered. Mind you, I've ordered the burger before and a shake for delivery. They were mid at the time but I was like, "it's delivery. Look at how many options there are here. I gotta try it in person." So I got the burger deluxe. The jalapeño burger. Rare to have spicy themed burgers in Chicago like they do in the southwest unless it's giardineria or Chicago themed. It comes with fries and a soup. I chose French onion. The French onion soup got me so excited. Pretty much a 4 star soup, Unfortunately the burger was a 1.5 star burger. The bun was super dry and crumbly almost. The meat was too well done. The burger I had days ago at Burger King was BETTER. I shit you not. It may have been slightly better than the "product" at McDonald's but I digress. But those fucking fries? What an insult to my wallet and my mouth. Truly. Somebody is cutting corners with all their menu offerings by ordering frozen bags of store bought fries and either microwaving them or oven blasting them. They are NOT frying them properly. Omg. No salt. So soggy. I can only consoe myself that I paid $5.5 extra for that so I could eat terrific French onion soup. The shake was way better at the diner. That was my true curiosity because what they gave me was a small cup when I ordered delivery. Here you get the tried and true glass with way more in it. Plus it's really good! If you order delivery or pickup, they're screwing you., The cheesecake was also up to par. I also ordered the blintzes. They were aight. Definitely get them with sour cream if you're coming here. DO NOT ORDER BURGERS OR FRIES. You'll hate your life.

Oh, and it's cash only, which my daughter didn't seem to notice when she decided this would be our meal in Andersonville. I don't really carry cash anymore, but no problem, they have an ATM.

Waited for our meals, which came up fairly quickly. My omelette was cooked nicely, eggs were fluffy and the toppings were plentiful. My daughter enjoyed her Swedish pancakes. It's a small place, but at noon on a Wednesday, there were very few customers. I could see how it would get crowded on the weekends. It's also very loud inside w/just 6 customers. Can't imagine the noise level on weekends.

They have options like pepper steak, classic mince (ground beef), chicken and mushroom and more. The chicken and mushroom is the tastiest. It's well seasoned and has good texture. The steak and mince pies are overly peppery and don't have a ton of flavor. The ground meat is smooth and not like typical ground beef which may turn some people off. The dough is crispy and well cooked. I haven't tried the sides. Prices are a bit high ($9.95 for a single palm-sized pie) for what you get but they're in Chicago and need to cover overhead. They offer frozen pies, if you prefer cooking at home. There's some meter parking and parking garages near by. This is a good place to check out but not one that will draw you back due to the lack of flavor.

The store is pretty small, with only two bar stool seats inside and an option to order from the outside window. Being able to order from the outside makes this a great option for a grab and go meal. What I ordered was the beef stew and Tikka masala. Unfortunately, what I got was the beef mince pie instead of the beef stew. This was not a total loss for me since I quite enjoyed the chicken tikka flavor, with the exception of it being light with the flavor. The mince I did not enjoy, though, and I could not get behind meat mince. I know I would have preferred the beef stew since I would have liked the chunks of beef with potato. I will give plenty of credit to the flake pie crust surrounding the pie, however. That made the pies more enjoyable to try. I would have given an extra star if I had gotten the correct pie, most likely, but regardless, I will probably return if I am in the area to try the other flavors. I recommend giving this place a try, but ensure you get the correct pie to avoid being a bit disappointed.

It's an incredibly popular Turkish sandwich, loved and adored in the city of Berlin, Germany of all places. Our son, visiting us here in Chicago (from New York) was taunting the virtues of this rather large and tasty sandwich and of course, the city of Chicago has a restaurant making this; just right up the street. Döner 97 on Clark Street adjacent to Lincoln Park is serving up this delicious, sloppy (in a good way) sandwich with all of the fixings. I had their Combination Döner Sandwich a combination of both beef / lamb and chicken kebab sandwich with tender, seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and flavorful sauces in warm flatbread. I really liked it. We also bought a Chicken Döner Sandwich with delicious chicken döner kebab sandwich: tender, seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, and flavorful sauces in warm flatbread. Also very good. These Döner sandwiches are huge like a massive Mexican burrito, messy like a sloppy Joe sandwich, but fun like French Fondue.

Butter drenched potato with your choice of veggies and proteins added. A meal in itself! I sampled and loved their Red Lentil soup and Bulgar dishes. The big winner this night was the Ćevapi sausages in their special flatbread. Pro Tip: consider splitting something. The portion size is impressive. If you like leftovers, ignore my tip and get two completely different dishes that you can share the next day. Actually, that's two tips in one. So Pro Tips!
