Breakfast House - Amazing chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm a little afraid to write a great review, because this place will start to have massive lines, as it deserves in Chicago's brunch crazy self. Great service, fast, not overbearing, attentive on the coffee, and helpful with recommendations. They're everywhere without seeming so. Tiny place, so cozy atmosphere - they do have a counter, and some outdoor seating, but certainly not an enormous place - it will always seem intimate. Food was excellent. Had the chicken and waffles, and tried the chilaquiles and the fruit baked french toast. The french toast was a bit bland, but some syrup helped. everything else was incredible. The fried chicken I'd eat every day. Decently priced, excellent staff, would definitely recommend. read more

Love love this place! It's perfect for a weekend breakfast date. I came two Sundays in a row because the service was as excellent as the food. We had no wait as there is ample seating indoors and outdoors considering it small cafe feel. I ordered the famous chicken and waffles and I wasn't disappointed. The chicken batter has buttermilk in it and it gives it a nice savory taste. The waffles were light and paired very well with the chicken. My boyfriend and I split it as it was enough for two people. I also had the chicken sausage links. They were delicious! Some of the best chicken sausage I've had! If you're looking for a great place for breakfast. The Breakfast House will not disappoint! read more

Great little hidden spot! Easy parking...simple menu...quiet but a good place for kids. Great Orange Juice and Strong coffee...ordered the Chilaquiles (A special). They were between ok and good. I think next time I will order pancakes because everyone around me seemed to enjoy them very much! read more

Ordered the oven baked French toast, but it was too much! Yes, too much going on with the whip cream, chocolate, cinnamon, Apple glaze, strawberries, & blueberries! It was too sugary for me and I had to stop eating . If you have a sweet tooth , stop by. They have great intelligentsia coffee & friendly staff. read more

One of the best places for breakfast in Chicago! Food is top notch and they provide a great selection at an affordable price. I love the chilaquiles! My BF loves the chicken and waffles. The service is always outstanding! read more

Great service. Friendly staff. Everything we ordered for breakfast was wonderful! Awesome breakfast/brunch stop if you're in town. Recommend. Waitlist :) read more

What a hidden gem this place is! I had the Breakfast House Hash here on my first visit. Delicious!! The dish really does have a distinct home cooked taste and feel. The potatoes were seasoned just right, the andouille sausage blended perfectly with the chicken sausage, and the poached eggs tasted just as good as they looked on the plate! I They have outdoor seating, which is a huge plus in my book! The service was excellent. Adrianna was very accomating and didn't seem to mind at all that I was the only one sitting outside. :-) ! I can't wait to return to try their other dishes! read more

Excellent service and delicious food. The cornmeal cakes are to die for. Can't wait to come back

Newly opened business located in the old Tulum Grill location. The spot has had a mini-makeover. Looks good. The staff was friendly. We ordered the veggie frittata, the huevos rancheros and a short stack. The food was good. We especially enjoyed the pancakes. They were light and fluffy. The prices were decent. We hope they add a breakfast burrito, some chilaquiles and maybe some more vegetarian options. read more

So frickin good. Had cappuccino and BLT benedict. Omg. I want to come back. Soooo delicious. Prompt very helpful service.

Great corner spot, there is some counter action, and quick service. Larger groups might have trouble fitting in. I got the house special and ate that entire plate in 5min. I would that again! read more

Went to Breakfast House this past Saturday for some good old fashioned brunch. The menu is somewhat limited, but there's nothing on it that wouldn't satisfy you. I had the house hash. It was delicious. My roommate got some OJ with his meal and you could tell that the last container juice touched before hitting the glass was it's own skin. Very fresh juice. The menu items have a Mexican twist, which fits the area well. Prices are average, about $9 for a meal. Service was great, they were very attentive. All in all, a positive experience which I would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

This was the first time I ate at this location. I was surprised on how great the food tasted as well as the service was at par with the food. I have never review any restaurant but this restaurant needs to be recognized. read more

Used a Groupon here for brunch today; very bland food (tried the oven-baked frittata and the omelette with asparagus and goat cheese), but I was looking for healthy and light, so Breakfast House delivered well here. Our server moved fast and the food was on the table 15 minutes after ordering. I suspect this is one of those places that I would explore further if it was closer to home, but as is, I go to Hollywood Grill at Ashland/North for my average diner food! read more

We stopped in yesterday for brunch with some friends. This place has a cool neighborhood vibe. I had the chorizo hash which was excellent. The potatoes were crispy and cooked in bacon (super yummy). My hubby had the crepes which were flavorful but more the consistency of pancakes than crepes. The portions were perfect. If you are a coffee snob this isn't the place for you. Our service was great. They even helped us move inside when it started to sprinkle. If you are in the neighborhood, stop in! read more

I love this place, the staff is always friendly. I've been going to Breakfast House for 6 years now, for lunch and breakfast options. I have taken family and friends who are always impressed by the freshness and quality of food. If you are in a hurry for lunch it may not be the best place as they aren't a fast food kind of place but the wait (for the few times we have waiting) was totally worth it! I go about 5 times a year now as I no longer work close by but it's so amazing, their coffees, pancakes, burgers, fresh fruits, etc. read more

This place blew me away. The customer service was kind and professional. And the food OMGEEEEE! The quality in the preparation of our selection was to perfection! read more

Classy diner in West Town. We tried the fried chicken and waffles and the chilaquiles. Portions for both were massive. As we checked out what nearby tables ordered, everything looked like heaps of food, terrific value. The fried chicken was a leg, wing, and breast--so much they shouldn't even bother with the white meat. Definitely the type of place you could hit up every weekend, will be back for breakfast again, and looking forward to trying lunch options. read more

I love brunch, and the competition in the city is daunting. Everyone has a twist, specialty, theme consisting of distant lands, inexcusable amount of bacon, or specialty cocktails etc. Breakfast House though, is simply good food, high quality coffee, and excellent service. Food: Chilequile, steak and eggs, chicken and waffles, salmon eggs benedict, and French toast. All amazing, have had all of them multiple times! If your looking for a good brunch to catch up with friends or get your day going, check of breakfast house and you'll leave happy. read more

Great spot for breakfast. Intimate setting. Amazing service. Will definitely come back again.

Standard breakfast spot. Was able to walk in on a Sunday morning and get sat which is almost impossible in the city. Unfortunately I was eating healthy at the time, so just got the spinach salad with vinaigrette dressing. The mushrooms were very good, salad was fresh and what I expected. My little brother got the omelette with pancakes. Lots of food for your $. Better than diner food, omelette was not dry and made with fresh meats and veggies. I want to come back when I can indulge and get the fried chicken. It looked tasty read more

Very clean.. Pretty, quaint... Superb staff! Yes the food is divine! I read a reviewer meniton their Chicken and Waffles so I had to give it a try.. Very Good and you get a LOT for your $$.. I came here alone and the ambiance was just fine. Their menu seems well put together and it's a bit more healthy than the bar across the street (more on that Heartburn Disaster on another review) .. bottom line.. come here and don't forget that I'm a Real Estate Broker who can help you with any residential needs :) read more

Made reservations for 10 people for 11a on a Sunday, when I called I told them it was for a business meeting. This was my first time there, as well as my guests. Everything was smooth from the beginning, food was good and so was the service. At about 1p our server told us we had to leave because we had been there for two hours. We weren't loud or obnoxious, I just think they wanted our table. I felt bad thinking there would be a line out the door but there were only three people waiting. I've never been asked to leave a restaurant before even when I didn't tip 20%. This just left a bad taste in my mouth and I don't think I'll be back. read more

I've had their fried chicken with waffles. It seems like a classic here. My friend tried the salmon cakes. It was amazing! Also, do go for the freshly squeezed orange juice. It's surprisingly refreshing! read more

Enjoyed a late lunch here on a Monday with my daughter. Nice spot. Love the yellow walls, and the service was super friendly and efficient. The chicken tenders for kids was really, really good. Chilaquiles was good but not the best version I have had. Easy parking on a weekday. read more

Decided to try BH for the first time last weekend with my wife and 18-mo old son. We are creatures of habit and love a good breakfast. That being said, we will be going back soon! We arrived around 9am on a Saturday and there was no wait to get our table. The host and servers were very polite and greeted our son with a plate of sliced banana which was a great touch of service. The Intelligentsia coffee was a nice surprise. Most of all, the food was awesome. From the first bite (Huevos Rancheros) I knew we were in for a good meal. Everything was fresh and not greasy at all. The pancakes were awesome (close in taste to my long-time fave at Salt & Pepper RIP). My wife had the corn cakes which were also great. On a side note, as a self-proclaimed "portion snob" the portions were perfect. Nothing too little and certainly nothing too ridiculous. We'll definitely be back for sure, and I can easily see this as my new morning go-to spot on the weekend (and maybe on my way into work during the week if necessary). read more

This is a cute little breakfast place near where we were staying when we visited Chicago back in October. We had a quick breakfast here and really enjoyed it. I ordered the crispy breakfast potatoes and they were so delish! For just $3, it was totally worth it. Mmmm! I unfortunately can't say much about the other meals here, as we only visited for breakfast, but the service was friendly and efficient and the food was fresh with big portions. Excellent place for breakfast if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Breakfast House also does dinner right. The Mushroom soup was creamy, savory, seasoned perfectly and loaded with fresh mushrooms. The Goat Cheese Ravioli was delicious - Mexican flavors and topped with fresh roasted corn which I've never tasted in a pasta dish before. I also recommend the Roasted Pork Chop. Our waiter Roberto looked genuinely happy to see that we ate every bite, it reminded me of the look my parents give when I plow through a home cooked meal. We were seated outdoors, and were encouraged to stay as long as we wanted and to finish our bottle of wine (BYO). I'm sorry to admit I went in not knowing what to expect, as they just started to serve dinner here and it would be hard to beat how well they do breakfast. Totally exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant for any meal. read more

A nice little corner spot with a strong brunch menu. The line outside had us thinking 30 minutes but they seated us in less than ten. Points! The atmosphere is relaxed and the seating was ample but cramped. It's a BYOB spot too, so that's convenient. The food... YES! I made my own omelet, mom had a salad, and sis got something else that looked scrumptious. Mine was a large portion of breakfast heaven. More than enough grub, quick service and decent atmosphere. read more

My idea of an enjoyable Sunday breakfast is to eat good food in an eatery with attentive service and no waiting lines that provides a quiet and comfortable setting. Well, my wife recently found a place that meets all these requirements, and we are now steady customers. That place is the Breakfast House, which has been opened for about seven months. It offers a nice variety of diner food and is open daily for lunch and breakfast. It has two indoor dinning rooms with unremarkable decor, one with about 10 tables and a counter with stools and the other with seven tables. Outdoor seating is also available with two tables in front of the restaurant and four more on the side. My wife and I have breakfasted there several times and have been extremely impressed with the quality of the food, the very friendly and efficient service, the moderate prices, and the relaxed, peaceful setting. One highly recommended dish is the Huevos Rancheros. It is very well prepared with fresh ingredients that include savory black beans, pepper jack cheese, and ranchero sauce. Another huge hit is the Vegetable Frittata. This vegetarian dish is oven baked and the ingredients besides eggs include bell peppers, shaved zucchini, and sautéed spinach. Daily specials are also offered. One that we recently sampled was the Egg Tacos. This dish consisted of three separate corn tortillas filled with scramble eggs, pepper jack cheese, chopped bacon, and onions topped with cold pico de gallo sauce. All of the ingredients were fresh and work extremely well in combination with each other. One issue was that because the pico de gallo sauce was cold (as it should be), it cooled the eggs too quickly. Nevertheless, this dish was delicious as well as very filling. In the future I would ask to have the pico de gallo served on the side. Another noteworthy special just tried was the Omelet A La Mexicana. It was filled with jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, and corn and topped with ranchero sauce. It was very well made and tasty. Another feature of this establishment is that abundant free street parking is always available. Each time we've visited the Breakfast House, we were seated immediately. However, the popularity of this little gem is rapidly picking up, and I am afraid that it won't be long before we will have to stand in line to get in. I just hope that if it gets to that point, reservations won't be hard to get. read more

I am a frequent patron. They have an eclectic menu with a variety of choices of food that is just a little different - and better - than most places. I have not tried for dinner yet, but it is an excellent breakfast and lunch choice. The service is excellent as well. Check out their specials as well as the menu for some interesting variations of gourmet breakfast standards. read more

It's about time I wrote this note. I've been here at least a dozen if not 20 times already. This is my go-to place for anytime before 3pm. The daily specials are great and super fresh. Breakfast foods have been great and very well prepared. I've had omeletes, huevos rancheros, pancakes, waffles, house special hash, etc... it's all been top notch. Great bacon ta'boot. Lunch foods are equally great and super fresh. Great fresh sandwiches and salads! Homemade soups that are fantastic! Homemade salad dressings that are amazing! FRESH salad!... no bagged-easy-lazy-service-sprayed-with-shelflife-extender product... actual freshly washed salad stuffs!!! It's so strange that I'll write a long-winded review for a place that is awful, but for a great place such as Breakfast House, all I can muster is: this place is really great... GO! Good and friendly service. Very clean and bright interior and presentation. Just GO. (if I say 'great' or use a '!' on more time.......) read more

Great little neighborhood joint! They have friendly service, good coffee, and AMAZING food! The salmon benedict and the chorizo hash are out of this world. My mom loves their corn cakes! My husband loves their breakfast burrito! Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with their menu. read more

This was our first time here. Wow!! We are visiting from Las Vegas & our son brought us here for brunch..I had baked french toast with fresh blueberries & strawberries. So awesome!! I am definitely going to make this at home!!! read more

This is a nice place for breakfast! We had the eggs with ham / bacon, and fruit and pancakes. Nice simple breakfast meal though they had other more savory options that we didn't get the chance to try. Everything tasted good and I really have no complaints. The pancakes had a great fluffy texture. If anything they were pretty light on the flavor, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Service is nice and friendly, and prices are fair. Overall, a nice restaurant that will leave you satisfied read more
