This breakfast house has PASSION & great service. The food tastes very fresh: the salad was crunchy & balanced, the BLT wasn't too salty & full of flavor, and the chorizo hash had a great ratio of meat/veggies/egg. Their playlist curates a cozy vibe, 90s disco with modern flair. The seating was very comfortable. If you're looking to do some work here, there's an outlet accessible booth on the left side. You'll notice everyone wearing a shirt that says "Food is our LOVE language" & it really shows. This is the kind of spot you hope never changes. read more

I've heard rumors that this was the go to corner spot for a great meal. To my surprise it wasn't what I expected , I arrived with guests as we all wanted to try something different. I chose the turkey sandwich and it was kind of a let down. The best thing was the nice crunch from the toast it came on. There were maybe two slices of turkey on the sandwich. The rest was crisp lettuce and fresh tomato. The fries were great. The breakfast burrito was good but overly saucy it took away the flavor from the ingredients inside. The French toast was great if you have a sweet tooth but the bread was slightly smaller than I expected. The ambiance isn't anything extravagant but also homely in a way. It's a solid 4 and not a back to back ,but will consider going again in the future. read more

I ordered the chilaquiles and they were pretty good, and my little one liked them a lot as well. But unfortunately, I found the restaurant was rather forgettable. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant itself is small but they take orders online. Parking is pretty tight. They only have about seven parking spots in their lot; however, there is copious amounts of parking in the surrounding neighborhood on the side streets. read more

I came here to meet friends who live all over the place (north and south suburbs, Lakeview, etc.), as this location is centrally located for all of us. I wasn't familiar with the neighborhood (I didn't know Belmont Heights was a place!), but it was easy enough to get to from the northern suburbs. The lot was full, but I was able to find parking easily about a block away on a side street on a Saturday morning, and several of my friends found parking on Harlem. Yay for free and easy parking. We were able to get a table for 4 adults and 2 kids easily, and the servers were attentive. I wasn't starving, as I had had breakfast already since we were meeting later in the day, but I had coffee (Intelligentsia) and the corn cakes. The coffee was refilled a few times, which was much appreciated :) The corn cake and the red pepper sauce were incredible. (Note for vegans: there is cheese in the corn cakes, but no meat. Not sure about eggs). They have a few vegan-friendly items on the menu as well for those who are strict vegans, but I wasn't in the mood for a huge plate. They have even more vegetarian-friendly items, too. My meat-eating friends loved their dishes (pancakes, potatoes, eggs, chicken salad, etc.). Everything looked great. They do add a credit card processing fee if you're not paying with cash, as an FYI, but that is mentioned on the menu so it shouldn't come as a surprise. read more

Breakfast House - Corn cake and red pepper sauce, intelligentsia coffee (and the French omelette with a pancake in the back) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A tiny little restaurant spot in the middle of Chicago on a busy street. Luckily, there is a parking lot next to the restaurant. Clean and organized place with waiters using tablets and payment processing on mobile devices. Food is good enough for some quick breakfast. A mix bunch of customers with people wearing visible tattoos, older couples, young families, and more. Rather surprised that the tip requested on the electronic device force you to pick a tip of 0%, 20%, 25%. I am not sure if I would visit this place again. read more

Great coffee!!! That's all I need. Great service. Good food. Decent prices. What else do you want? Perfect brunch spot. Try the vegan chorizo hash. Very filling and delicious. read more

Food is OK but not great place that's OK service it's not really great but that's OK. That was my experience.

This was my first visit to Breakfast House, and I really enjoyed it! The omelet was incredibly fresh, and the French toast is definitely something I'll be coming back for. I loved the unique twist of Mexican-inspired breakfast dishes--it's a refreshing change from typical breakfast fare. The flavors were outstanding, so I'd highly recommend giving Breakfast House a try! read more

We did breakfast here a few days ago on Xmas Eve I think. Very cozy and nice breakfast sit-down breakfast restaurant. The place was nice and clean inside and everything from the tables and floors in the main dining area to the bathrooms as well. Service was prompt and the waiter was very nice and cheery guy. Nice touches with the decorations and the chalk wall/mural with Christmas drawings of all of the employees and their jobs was really well done and quaint but also just something giving you that warm and fuzzy feeling and puts across that this is a Latina/o/x family-owned place. Food was brought out pretty quickly and I got the Supreme Chorizo Hash and my partner got Eggs Benedict. Food was very tasty. Prices not too bad. Nothing bad to say about the restaurant itself but a couple of drawbacks or things to be aware of is that the parking lot is small so you might have to park on the street and I personally would worry about parking on Harlem. Also their parking lot is shared with a neighboring car business of some kind with junky cars and trucks parked all around in their spots. Some things to improve. The owners should clean up the dead plants in the planters outside which are unsightly and maybe put up some Christmas decorations/lights in the planters during the winter or some other way to keep the planters looking nice when they aren't being used in the winter. Also, this is probably a much bigger lift but if the owners have the money to cover/shelter the outside areas around the restaurant and put heaters outside could take care of the planters unsightly issues and use the outside areas during the winter for more revenue/seats. All that said I highly recommend this restaurant as a nice breakfast/brunch fare and Latina/a/x influences and to support a family-owned local place. read more

Never have been disappointed at the breakfast house. The patio is my preference weather permitting

The place has an amazing vibe and atmosphere. Flew in from San Francisco and was told I had to stop here. Glad I listened. The customer service is great and very friendly. I ordered the French Toast and it did not disappoint at all. Flavor in every bite. Really showing their saying if of "love is their seasoning" or "Amor es nuestro sazón." I would come back any time I'm back in the area. read more

Overall went to visit the location during the week and the establishment was not busy at all. We had the kids pancakes with an egg and bacon. I ordered the omelet with spinach, mushrooms, and it came with ham and hash-browns. There was no salt added to the plate, and the ham was basically deli sandwich ham. The hash-browns were not crispy like they were sitting for a while, and the server never came to check on the refill for the coffee. We were sitting there for a while and we had to ask for maple syrup to be able to eat the pancakes. Overall the food is just ok, and the service could be more better. read more

The food was delicious. I love when I go to a breakfast restaurant and they have vegan options. And the vegan chorizo dish was so good! The cute mural of the staff and the upbeat music adds to the restaurant's charm. The only critique is that the wait time was a little longer than I would have expected for what was ordered and the amount of diners there. But I'm definitely going back and trying out more items on the menu. read more

Breakfast House - Organic Lemonade VEGAN CHORIZO TWO EGGS YOUR WAY - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was our first time to this location of the local chain. Being very close to home, I was hoping for the best and was not disappointed. Saturday morning brunch is a risky time to venture out for timely food but this place was clearly very efficient in their turnover. We were seated rather quickly. And the service was great even though they were very busy. The exterior leaves a bit to be desired but the inside makes up for that in spades. It's clean, well lain out for the size, and welcoming. The food was great! A chorizo hash can be very dense and greasy and I was afraid that was in my future. However, they did this dish perfectly. And the Latte was a great choice to go with it. My only complaint about this place is the displayed statement that the restaurant tacks on a 3% fee just because they feel like it. You can ask to have it removed? Very strange and not a great business practice. Otherwise great place! read more

Finally a new decent breakfast spot in Dunning! I love breakfast food so much. This place took over what used to be a seafood restaurant. Ambience: Definitely felt very homey inside which was comforting. Ever since this place opened I've noticed it's always busy whenever I drive by which is a good sign. They made a nice outdoor patio seating area where half is covered. They even have planters with flowers along the fence. Service: No complaints here! Everyone working was working hard. My waiter was kind and made sure we were ok. House hash: I love me a good hash!! Topped with poached eggs and you get a side of garlic aoli. Very very good. I just added a little bit of salt and pepper and it was perfect. The ingredients were all pretty even meaning no ingredient overpowered the other. Very filling dish but I always have room for dessert. Chef's french toast: French toast is elite. You can choose between nutella or dulce de leche which is what I chose. The french toast were nice thick pieces. The quality of the bread was very good. Perfect for sharing! Its pretty dry without syrup so I def recommend with syrup! read more

Wow! Love this place! Clean, well-staffed, festive, nice menu with many options. The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Awesome chicken & waffles, great coffee drinks and cocktails. read more

I really wanted to like Breakfast House. No complaints about the food, standard breakfast items and food arrived quickly. However, our server was clearing plates off the table next to us and he accidentally spilled sauce down my back. The sauce covered the back of my sweater and part of my pants. I was in the restroom for a good 10-15 minutes trying to scrub the sauce off of my sweater before it stained. I understand accidents happen, but other than the server apologizing, a manager never came by to acknowledge what happened or ask if there's anything they could get us. I will not be returning to or recommending this breakfast joint. read more

Good food. Good service. The chicken and waffle is the best. The staff is friendly and cheerful.

Great service. Perfect spot to have a bite in Lincoln Park. LP is a little short on offering great restaurants. So this one was a steal. Outdoor seating was nice and best of all the servers wore masks when serving food - an absolute must! read more

I was out in Old Irving area for a family event and looking for a good breakfast spot before I hit the road back to Michigan. This place had a 5 star review. After eating there I can say they deserve it. Very cozy environment and welcoming staff. Menu definitely has a Mexican theme. I'm a sucker for breakfast burritos, so had to try it. Very well executed. The sauces they provide are top notch. So flavorful. My only gripe is that the burrito would have fared slightly better if it had sausage instead of little pieces of bacon. Still a great burrito. The corn cake almost tasted like a tamale. It was very moist and well seasoned. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Came here for breakfast today and I'm blown away. All of their food came out fast, tasted fresh, and was flavorful. The french toast wasn't too sweet and had the best fluffy texture, and the potatoes were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Service was also great and friendly! Would highly recommend this place for a cheap but delicious breakfast/brunch :) read more

Came to try this place originally because of its ratings. I somehow always pass by it when it's closed and forget to add it to my bucket list. But let me say I am glad I remembered because the food was worth the rate. Didn't wait too long to be seated despite it being busy. Didn't take long to get the food either. French toast was very tasty but I'm here to talk about that chorizo hash! Chefs kiss. Definitely fire and that guacamole on top made the whole dish come together. Complimented well. Will be back again read more

Second visit to The Breakfast House and it's as good as the first visit. I've found my new go-to for breakfast & lunch in this area, mainly because they serve a good string coffee! (Intelligensia -the best!) Today I tried the Chefs Crepes which are not your typical French crepe. These are more like a thinner version of their pancake, folded over, yet still somehow very fluffy and light. Loved the fresh berries that topped them along with the drizzle of dulce de leche (or Nutella if you prefer). I was amazed at how hot they were served, literally just off the griddle and promptly brought to my seat to indulge in this deliciousness! Keep up the good work! Hope this establishment is around for a long time! read more

New to the area. Found this local spot on Yelp. Tasty food, quick service, friendly staff and close to home.

Great breakfast place. Good food and service. I've been here a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed.

I like breakfast. It's the perfect meal at any point in your day. The place is always clean, has a full bar, staff is always very nice and ready and willing to get whatever you need or answer any question you may have. Parking is fine... They have a lot and there is street parking. You're not gonna have to walk for blocks...plus, a little walk, if you are able, is good for you - BUT like I said, you should be able to park near the restaurant. When it's nice, they have an outdoor patio located along the side street and not Harlem Avenue. Food is flavorful, good portions and fills you up without weighing you down. Go. Enjoy. read more

Breakfast house is a nice neighborhood breakfast joint. I had a sausage and cheese omelette with their pan fried, cubed potatoes and rye toast (only one slice came with the order). My son had bacon, eggs, the same potatoes and a pancake (again, only one came with the order). Both meals got the job done. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I don't think that you'll be disappointed. read more

Very disappointed. I had asked for no potatoes and requested fruit instead. My order came out wrong. The waiter said he would bring me a side of fruit. It never came. I get it, it happens sometimes, but he never checked on my table and I never got a refill of coffee. I do not recommend as the food was subpar for the price. read more

Family owned brunch place. Fantastic good no matter what you order. I originally wanted huevos rancheros but it looked too simple for its price. Instead I got a Mexican omelette. It was good, I just wanted rancheros sauce and beans for breakfast. I wouldn't say it was tasty, but I had a side fruit which was great. And a side pancake which was fluffy and lighter than expected. read more

Not bad, not bad. Decent location. Occasionally they've gotten the order mixed up over the phone but I guess I'm partly to blame. Good food. Lovely decor. They have a large mural on the wall, done by a local Chicago artist who actually works for Breakfast House, so that pretty cool. They don't have the Chicago maple syrup tho. read more
