I love Breakfast House for a casual Sunday morning breakfast! It's always full so I recommend going earlier than 11am if you don't want to wait 30+ minutes. They currently don't take reservations of parties under 5 people. I got a traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes. Everything came out hot and had big portions. I always get chocolate chip pancakes on the side. They were fluffy and the chocolate chips were mixed into them instead of just being placed on top. The service was great and our food came out quickly. Great ambiance, very lively and pleasant. read more

This place is yummy, this is the second location in their family of "Breakfast House" spots that we have tried. All the food is really good, the service was spot on! They really know how to cram the tables in there so be prepared if you have a big group! Portion size is hit and miss, some plates are packed to the gills, other plates are skimp sauce and that's comparing a favorite from both locations and also two plates at the same time. If I could rely on this consistency I would have given 5 stars but since I was still hungry after my dish, even though it was good I am settling at 4 stars, because hey, you're allowed to have "one of those days" Do I recommend? Absolutely we would go back again. Prices are decent food is good and staff has been good at both places!! read more

First visit to Breakfast House location. Everything was fine, nothing screamed "wow" or stood out to me. Our server was nice and patient while I decided what to order. I eventually chose the Chefs special granola. I've been to a lot of breakfast joints in my time. While I think you'll be able to find a dish that speaks to you, it felt on the average side for me. It wasn't terribly crowded on a Tuesday morning, and the noise levels were good, allowing for easy conversation. My dining companions chose the breakfast burrito and the chorizo hash and were satisfied with their choices. read more

Recently moved to the area and tried this place on a Sunday morning. We came right before the rush, but still took a while for someone to acknowledge us after we were sat. They were not busy by any standard. If I had to time it I would say it took 5-7 minutes. Which feels like a lot but I digress. The food was great! I got the sour cream pancakes and would try the regular ones next time. We would definitely come again and hopefully get faster service. read more

Went to Chicago for Halloween, and Breakfast House was our final stop before heading home -- and I'm so glad it was! The hostess was incredibly kind, especially after a random older man yelled at us for letting in the cold air (there isn't a waiting area, so that's really my only small complaint). The space itself is cozy and narrow, but we were seated quickly and the staff was super attentive. Most importantly -- the food was delicious! Definitely worth the stop before hitting the road. read more

Wife ordered the chilaquiles and I got the chorizo breakfast hash and they did not disappoint!! Recommend this place to anyone in the Wrigleyville area and if you're not in the Wrigleyville area make it a point to get down here!!! Absolutely amazing food and a really cool place!! read more

I have been here twice since they opened at this location and each time my food was stellar and the service great. It is a small, cozyrestaurant so I can imagine that it gets quite busy on the weekends. They also have a patio, weather permitting. My recent visit was on a weekday and there were several tables that were occupied. Both their breakfast and lunch menus are extensive with something for everybody. I love that the eggs are perfectly cooked, not over done like many other restaurants that serve breakfast. The have a good selection tea, and offer espresso drinks along with drip coffee. The have a small bar selection, but it should suffice for almost everyone. If you find yourself in Wrigleyville, just a hop, skip and a jump from the Sheridan Red Line train station this would be a great place to check out if you are hungry and/or thirsty. You will be glad that you did. read more

Absolutely thought it was the best. Charming interior, great location but it was food that was the real score! Absolutely yummy and huge portions - I had the yogurt and house made granola. It could not have been better! read more

Staff, warm welcome, ambiance, lighting, positive vibes, well-written menu, tasty food, generous portions, great coffee, awesome presentation, cool blackboard, reasonable prices, and our amazing server Eddy! Thank you, Eddy, you rock! :-) What an amazing place for breakfast, can't wait to come back! Our food was served hot, simultaneously, correctly, and presented well. Just a great experience all around. The belle o' the ball was the green sauce on top of the avocado toast and dueguito (sp?). SO tasty, yum! It's a not miss place. Can't understand why it isn't 5-stars, we had a great experience. I highly recommend it. Sincerely, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL read more

Cute, bright atmosphere. Friendly and fast service. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

What everyone else says about this place is true, and then some! Great Intelligentsia coffee, cool vibes, friendly staff, classic rock over the speakers. Food was great. I had the vegan chorizo hash with the full vegan experience and I would not hesitate to go back anytime I am staying in Wrigleyville. Do it! read more

Breakfast House - VEGAN CHORIZO - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a staple breakfast spot for us because it's located in our neighborhood, has gluten free options, and is all around solid. There are both Latin and American options on the menu -- my favorite is the chilaquiles. Also good for kids (they have high chairs) and have outdoor seating as well. Usually no wait when we go. read more

Food is delicious but I'm not sure it's worth the price. The server was sweet and the place is cute. The breakfast burrito was good but I wish it was not smothered so ask for sauce on the side or inside but not all over it. read more

Obsessed with this place and I can't believe I haven't gone sooner! I got the BLT Benedict and it's pretty high up on my list of best Benedict's ever. The breakfast potatoes are cut into small pieces and extremely well seasoned. I was so into them. They have a great dog friendly patio & the service was quick/kind. Defiantly check it out for brunch! read more

A nice place to grab breakfast on a lazy morning or afternoon because they have a menu full of comfort food and breakfast foods. We were seated quickly, no reservation. The space was clean and comfortable, and the staff were kind and quick with service. I got chicken and waffles, the waffle was a little too crispy and the chicken was just ok. My friend enjoyed her French toast. Expresso Martin was good too! I would go back to try their pancakes. read more

While I live in the neighborhood this was my first visit to the Breakfast House. All I can wonder is what took me so long to come here. The food was fantastic. Between the sour cream pancakes, an eggs benedict, and one of the children's chicken finger lunch all the plates were returned empty. So good. We will be back. read more

Sat there for 10 minutes no greeting, no drink order. so I went to Jersey mikes across the street. much better service.

Great service and super yummy food!! We got the patty melt and the croissant sandwich which were great. Service was quick and staff were all very kind! A great quick breakfast spot read more

Absolutely the worse service. Our server was unbelievably rude. Short and would cut us of mid conversation and walk away from our table. And when it came time to pay our tabs individually, Zuly, got upset that we realized our tab already had applied gratuity and she didn't inform us. Hoping we left more & unfortunately I did not catch it on time yet she didn't offer to rectify the mistake, although she was right next to me. Zuly was unbelievable rude with her service and ruined all of our experience here. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Delicious brunch at The Breakfast House! It's right next to the Sheridan stop of the red line and holy sh* it's sooooo good. We've eaten here many times and every time it bangs. Waitstaff is always super friendly and on top of everything. The vibe is very typical brunch spot and there's always a cute artwork featuring all of the workers on the wall. During summer they have a really nice patio section outside to sit at too. We love it here! read more

Just a few blocks north of Wrigley Field right next to the El. We liked it so much we came back the next day - it was just as enjoyable! We walked in and were seated right away. We had coffees on our table almost immediately. The crowd was a mix of locals and Cubs fans grabbing breakfast before the game. They had a chalkboard with drawings of all the employees on it, as well as Wrigleyville themed art on the walls. There is also a nice outdoor seating area. The food was fantastic. You could tell they put some thought into the flavor and presentation. It's not just diner food slapped on a plate. The first day I had avocado toast with poached eggs that were perfectly cooked. My wife ordered a bowl of granola cereal that was huge and loaded with fruit. The next day I had the chorizo hash. It was a huge serving - I ate it all - and regret nothing! My wife had lemon ricotta French toast and it was also delicious. The staff was attentive and offered coffee top ups. It was getting busy as we were eating so there was a short line to get seated, but it seemed to move quickly. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning the next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

WOW, great food! So close to Wrigglyville and BoysTown. A strong Mexican tilt but lots of traditional choices too. Plus vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The pancakes were most excellent dude! Paris Omelette was super good too. Great service, Intelegencia coffee and so much more. read more

Very good. Something for everyone! I'm not an egg person and don't always want something sweet so this has options for any mood I'm in. And fresh squeezed OJ. So TRY THIS PLACE! read more

Fantastic service and staff. Food is delicious and is a great atmosphere for brunch! Would recommend for a Sunday brunch 10 times out of 10.

Was in the area for a Cubs game and met up with a friend for brunch before the game started. This place was exactly what we are looking for. Decent service, friendly staff, and overall good ambience for a casual breakfast place. They didn't make it to 5 stars for me because they never asked us about splitting the bill. They just put everything on my card without any discussion. That was no big deal but I think it is definitely noticeable mistake on the service side. And if it was not me ( a generally easy-going person) then I can see someone getting upset about this. Besides that, everything was pretty solid and I would recommend this place. If you are eating with a group of people, and you do want to split the bill, I would make it known before the bill actually comes because they seem to be struggling with that part. read more

Breakfast House - Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Breakfast selection was good and the staff is very attentive. Will definitely go again.

Goat Cheese Salad Breaded, warm goat cheese, mixed greens, grilled chicken, almonds, cherry tomato, cucumbers, and house vinaigrette. Just amazing and perfect ingredients combo. (Ask for extra Goat Cheese, so good) BLT Benedict Potatoes are amazing, perfectly crispy and well flavored: the chipotle sauce is fire! The eggs perfectly cooked and best poached egg I've ever tried. Each ingredient played its part all too well. Perfectly buttered English muffin. Avocado was absolutely refreshing and perfect green color. I almost didn't want to eat it the presentation itself was impeccable. Perfect portion size and highly satisfying. Service was perfectly timed and friendly. Will be back once a week.

The food was decent, the service was slow. I probably would not go there again. The atmosphere is inviting

The staff was very friendly and accommodating, even though they were quite busy. The food, however, is simply underwhelming. It's not gross, but the steak was chewy and overcooked, the scrambled eggs were a bit dry, and the chroizo hash didn't taste like much of anything. Drinks were decent. Patio is cute. It's just that the food is the most important part, you know? read more

We just had a great breakfast with really good service! Lots of options and we enjoyed everything from coffee to BLT Eggs Benedict!

Whenever im in town heading to Wrigley for the Cubs this is a MUST stop before the game!

The best chicken and waffles in the area! Seriously, I wouldn't expect to find such delicious chicken and waffles at a random breakfast spot. Like many people I was excited to try out Breakfast House when I saw they were opening up in the area. I really liked that they offered a large outdoor sitting area and the inside of the restaurant is large. They have ample sitting for solo dinning to large groups. I would recommend calling ahead if you plan to have a size-able group and come earlier in the day because this place is always busy over the weekend. The chicken and waffle, mainly the chicken, has a hold on me for the moment. I've mainly ordered that dish during every visit but I've had the chance to try their chilaquiles. Surprisingly it was not great. I wouldn't recommend ordering them when you have the chicken and waffles as well as other items available. Truthfully I haven't found any chilaquiles that beat Tizal Cafe. I have also been able to try the sour cream pancakes and I am not a fan but I love the compote that comes with it. They have an acquired taste and the texture is to squishy for me. Anytime my husband orders them I take his compote and pair it with the waffles in my dish. I really wish I could just order a side of the compote because they pair so well with the chicken and waffles. Typically when I visit the restaurant I easily get two full meals from my order. I've seen a lot of their dishes and they are a nice size. Do not be surprised by the prices because they align with Lakeview prices. read more

Love this place! Everything you would expect from an exception breakfast. Food is great and well priced, service is outstanding. Nice atmosphere with big windows and outdoor seating in the warm months. read more

Can make a way better breakfast at home! This place is way overpriced for their quality of food.

We arrived around 11 on a Saturday morning and had less than a 5 minute wait. From start to finish, the service was outstanding with a typical diner tempo while still not feeling rushed. To start, we each had a Vanilla Iced Coffee which hit the spot! I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the Southwest Omelette, both were outstanding and came out nice and hot! Everything about this experience was great including the restaurant itself. It is a smaller place with tables large enough to fit bigger parties. read more
