    Cute interior. Can you spot my fave children's book character?
    Jill H.

    First visit to Breakfast House. Our two dishes were the House Hash (main menu) and Lemon French Toast (specials menu). My daughter and I split the meals to have a bit of sweet and savory. The french toast was delightful - not overly sweet, served with lovely presentation of fruit and blueberry drizzle. The Hash was robust and flavorful- great combo of ingredients. Staff we interacted with were all helpful and kind. They have free WiFi should you need it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice vibe inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not too crowded on a Thursday morning around 9:00.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Booths, tables and counter seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    CORN MEAL CAKES

    Came here on a Saturday for a party of two and was seated right away. Service was very fast and friendly. They had an extensive menu that included some brunch favorites like omelettes and benedicts but also had some unique specials. I ended up getting the corn cake breakfast plate with two eggs over easy, Virginia ham, and a side of their buttermilk pancakes. The corn meal cakes were nicely spiced and very well constructed, definitely get this if you're looking for something new for brunch.

    Staff was nice, my fried chicken eggs Benedict was so yummy. My vanilla latte was also good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do share a bathroom with the hotel next door and the bathrooms were dirty so that's the only thing I didn't like[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ... we were able to get a seat pretty easily for 10 am on a Sunday!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was stomping along Chicago looking for a place to chow down and found a diner with room and food big enough to satisfy my T. rex appetite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jessica J served this big ole boy all mornin'! Service with a smile, which isn't easy when you've got a T. rex staring you down. Rawr. The Mexican omelette was delicioso brought me back to the good ol' diner days of the Late Cretaceous era.

    What a lovely little Breakfast House location! The interior is clean and bright. The staff was helpful and service was quick. Manager, Lauro, introduced himself and ensured our meal was excellent (it was). I really appreciate the hospitality and community vibe (: I will definitely return, with friends and family in tow.

    Lemon french toast with whipped cream & lemon zest
    Kathy C.

    I had wanted to try this place that I was introduced to on the Uptown Restaurant Walk in summer 2024. Went with a friend and we found the place, and our waiter Angel A. warm & friendly. One of their specialties that we sampled on the walk was their Hash. So I ordered the vegan hash, and found it to be fresher and healthier than I remembered. It came with spinach, bro, corn, tomatoes and corn. I chose a side of fresh fruit and am happy to report it had less melon than the average. I wanted something sweet after that so I asked what they had and learned that the lemon French Toast was on the sweet side. I certainly couldn't eat another dish, so the waiter suggested putting in a 'half order' request. I ended up with a full order and brought the rest home. It was utterly delicious not too sweet, but with fruit, whipped cream, lemon zest and powdered sugar dusting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was a nice diner style place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended!

    Very tasty new breakfast joint in Uptown. The food was good, the service friendly, and the coffee strong. What more could I ask for?

    This review is for a take-out order. Let me start off by saying this was not a business I would…read morehave thought of going to because I don't just do salads as a meal unless it is a big giant taco salad, but for a work meeting, this was the place that lunch was ordered from. I got the Chicken Avocado Ranch for my selection (Antibiotic-free blackened chicken, avocado, pickled onions, apples, tortilla chips, white rice, chopped romaine, seed oil-free green goddess ranch) and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. As I was home on the Friday after the Xmas Day celebration, hungry, didn't want to cook/heat anything up, I decided to order this salad for dinner through Grubhub. While I was placing the order, I decided to try the Fish Taco for the next day's lunch (Antibiotic-free miso glazed salmon, avocado, shredded cabbage, cilantro, tortilla chips, herbed quinoa, spring mix). This bowl comes with a sweetgreen hot sauce & lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette, but I opted to switch that out for the Green Goddess Ranch and the Miso Sesame Ginger. I loved the fact that I would add or not include certain items. For example, I love goat cheese, so I add that to both bowls and it was delish. Delivery was pretty smooth, with the driver coming up to our floor to drop everything off. Both bowls looked visually pleasing and the overall taste was pretty good. The flavors were nice and there was a freshness to both bowls, even the Fish Taco one on the next day. FYI the Fish Taco bowl can only be ordered online, not ordered in the store...not sure why, but since I will not be going to the store, I am good with that. You also have the option to order a slice of bread with each bowl and that was nice. Next time I will see if I can get a second slice. Total cost for the two bowls, with some add-ons and service fee and tip was about $58. I will say it will be cheaper to go to the store and pick it up yourself, but I will pay to have stuff delivered to me for peace of mind. They do have an app for placing orders, but I will stick with Grubhub because that is free for me through Amazon. I realize sweetgreen has a mission statement about eating healthy, lowering their carbon footprint, a commitment to animal welfare, but before I knew any of that, I still would say the bowls were pretty good. Not that I crave salads or bowls that often, but if I do, this will be the first place I order from.

No if, ands, or buts about it, the pork belly was the star of the show. It had that bit of char to give it that maillard charm [sic], and it was just the right cut of meat that it was tremendously flavorful and savory. Not over salted either! I used to think that my favorite gyro filling was lamb. No. My favorite gyro filling is pork belly, 100%. Far too many places stuff it to the absolute brim for the heck of saying, "Hey, look, we're not greedy at all! We're give you more ingredients." Though this throws the balance off and it becomes a piping hot mess. Not here. I didn't find myself saying, "They skimped on the meat," nor did I find myself saying, "I would have liked a little more veggies." While a bit more onions wouldn't have hurt, I am not complaining. The only thing I will say is the tzatziki sauce could have used a little more flavor. I'm not sure if it needed more cucumber or maybe some herbs, but it felt more like a yogurt sauce than what I would call a true tzatziki. All this is good and fine except for the service. While I do want to be fair and say that I was here as part of a larger group. I don't think that's an excuse. It took us just about an hour for our manis to start coming. The restaurant wasn't very busy, either. If it's an indication, one of the things I ordered was a EPSA soda (by the way, it had no carbonation and was more of a fruit juice). It took well over 15 minutes just to get a bottle of this stuff. Come on, folks. Just get it from the fridge, give it to me, and there's more likelihood I'd finish it before the food gets here and I'll ask for another one. The final thing I do want to give them massive props for is their low prices, probably about the same as a meal would cost you at a fast food joint, with comparable portions. It's not something that you're going to be waddling away like a penguin, but unless you have a massively voracious appetite, you will not leave hungry, just not brimming to the full. Thus, the pork belly gyro is definitely worth a return visit. However, I have to make sure I give myself plenty of time because based on my experience with a larger group, it may take unreasonably long to get my food.

Carlos, our waiter, was so knowledgeable and friendly.

(this plate was something I NEVER thought I'd order and enjoy, I'm not a blue cheese fan normally) 3. short rib wellington - I rarely eat meat, but wow it's so tender and the spread in the bowl pairs effortlessly.

For an extra $15, it made sense to order the prix fixe menu with the wine pairings. A cocktail likely would have cost more. The soup and salad were delicious and paired perfectly with great wines. We all loved our entrees, although I suspect I loved my short rib wellington a little harder. I'm not a huge desert person but I can't stop thinking about that Nutella creme brulee. Also paired with a great dessert wine-- possibly the only dessert wine I have ever really liked! Yes the portions are a little smaller for restaurant week, but with four courses I was happy to not feel like a glutton at the end. Incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable service made this a great choice for dinner. The space is well laid out too. We didn't feel like we were sitting on top of people, and it was easy to have a conversation even when the room was pretty full.

Highly recommend the crab rangoon + soulful platter. ===== Stopped by one weekend near opening and was able to get seated right away! They have a good number of tables outside and inside and seem overall fairly popular since there were already a few tables before us. The menu is huge and had seemed to be mostly Asian-ish, with some other items sprinkled in. We ordered: - crab rangoon - 5/5 - very tasty and light, sauce was a great complement - soulful platter with 'chicken' wing - 4.5/5- loved the variety of components. The 'chicken' wing was a highlight and had great texture and flavor; cornbread was also really tasty. Mac and cheese had a strong nutritional yeast flavor, which I enjoyed, but kind of wish it were more cheesy. Mashed potatoes were ok. Generous portion of collard greens. - mush love - 3/5 - huge portion, but the breading was very thick and crunchy. I wish the individual pieces were split up more and the breading a bit lighter; i also wish the sauce were the same as the one for the crab rangoon. This one was more of a bbq. Definitely would come back to try more items on the menu! I was intrigued by the drinks, though they were extremely expensive (e.g. 9$+). Staff were friendly, and I appreciate the disclaimer on the menu that they pay their staff a livable wage.

    While the ambiance is blasé and the service when I was there was standard, the food was so…read morefantastic that I easily give A&F's a 5-star rating. Great, GREAT food. And a friend with whom I was traveling (a carnivore) loved his meal too! I had the Banh Mi. Totally yummy. I want to take this place home with me!
