Chicago Waffles - Chicagos Waffles Best Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The customer service was great. I wasn't so impressed by breakfast. It was good, just nothing I'll crave. I also didn't find anything on the menu that made me have to have it, which is why I got what I got. Lots of options though. read more

Chicago Waffles - Healthy Breakfast 2x2x2 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Honestly, relatively mediocre restaurant with nothing impressive other than the size of the portions. Even service was lacking when I dined here--slow, inattentive, and they even forgot part of my friend's order. You definitely get a lot of food, so if you have a big appetite, this is a great option, but with so many breakfast places in the city, I'll have to pass at returning here. read more

My husband brought me here for my birthday brunch. Our server was very sweet and accommodating. I ordered the avocado toast sans watercress salad, the waffle flight, the corned beef hash special and the lavender tea. My husband had the pumpkin french toast and biscuits and gravy. The food was arrived timely, and was hot and flavorful. The avocado toast blew me away. The lavender tea was delicious. The corned beef hash was cooked perfect.. The waffle flight was presented beautifully. [I can't comment on taste, seeing as though I haven't actually had a chance to eat them yet because we ordered so much, we had to take them to go.] Hubby devoured his biscuits and gravy and loved the pumpkin french toast, which came in a roll form with cream cheese throughout the middle. Also, the kitchen was sweet enough to give out a plate of fruit and the infamous Chicago waffle, considering the fact that it was my birthday. Would highly recommend this place to others and will definitely be back. read more

Very large portions, money well spent. Nice atmosphere, can get noisy. Best spot for breakfast in their area. Street parking is hit or miss. It's free in front of the Catholic Church a block down. read more

The Good: fried chicken was awesome on the chicken and waffles; biscuits and gravy dish was tasty. The Bad: waffles were all undercooked - no crispy outside and soft inside, but rather just floppy and dry; everything came with syrup or a topping that we ordered, and the chef clearly likes things VERY sweet...toppings (syrup, cinnamon apples) was everywhere, making everything overly sweet. The Ugly: nearly everyone working the floor of this place was wearing their masks either under their chins or just covering their mouths - too many noses, folks! I get it - this pandemic thing is getting old and wearing a mask for your entire shift sucks - I know, I wear one everyday for 8 hours straight. But if you're going to be open in the middle of an airborne pandemic, take the basic precautions to keep the people around you - coworkers and customers - safe. Shoutout to the busser who always had is on correctly. I doubt I'll be coming back here as a result. read more

Pancakes and sausage were good, and the warm maple syrup was tasty. Felipe was a friendly and attentive server. There was only one other table of guests when I arrived, and yet I was sat at the table right next to them. I understand not wanting to seat all over the restaurant, but this seemed a little extreme. Especially once another couple came in and not only sat not near us but in the whole other part of the restaurant. read more

Food was dry and not great. Eggs were basically butter. Chicken and waffles were extremely dry. Red skins potatoes were fried, then smashed on the grill (not great). Service was good. Overall, i wouldn't come back if it wasn't super close to the place I am staying. read more

We are early birds and like having breakfast around 8am. Service was friendly and quick. Good mimosas. I had the duck Benny - delicious. My husband had the pulled pork Benny, he liked it but was expecting a sauce mixed in with the pork so it was a little dry. The breakfast potatoes are very yummy. We would go again. read more

I have been a LONG TIME customer of Chicago Waffles on Michigan Avenue. As short as a year ago, this restaurant location was amazing! Your potatoes were seasoned with green peppers and onions. Your eggs were cooked exactly as you requested. Everything was great until about 6 months ago. I've held out on posting this review for a long time because I like to call and give my feedback. However, I'm not convinced my concerns are being taken seriously. The staff must think everyone just wants free stuff....NO we want it to be right from the start. I'm not sure if management has changed, but the food is not what it used to be. Eggs, consider them burnt no matter how they're cooked. The breakfast potatoes have little to no seasoning, and now you have to remind them to add the onions! They don't even bother adding the green peppers anymore. None of their cooks know the difference between cheddar cheese and American cheese. Save yourself some money and order the half breakfast because they short you on the whole breakfast anyway. This morning, I received 12 little potato pieces. I have had my meals redone so many times from mistakes that I feel like I've broken even on money spent vs replacement meals. I really hope they get it together because it appears they are spiraling down hill. This place used to be amazing, and now it's not even on par with IHOP. I really hope that they re-evaluate their staffing and get back to what they used to do well, breakfast. Please don't ignore these posts. Use them as a teaching tool for your staff to do better. read more

So much cheese, so much ham and veggies on this Denver omelette! Delicious and was served up in less than five minutes all while the place is packed. I wanted badly to give this place 5 stars but the HVAC system does not seem to be keeping up with the heat wave and it is super hot inside the restaurant not very pleasurable dining experience. Great service and food. Hidden gem. read more

I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict which from the description is normally on a potato pancake. I opted for a traditional English muffin. The menu said HOMEMADE HOLLANDAISE sauce. Anyone that knows me understands that I'm on a lifelong search for the perfect Benedict with homemade hollandaise. Guess what? IT WAS HOMEMADE and tasty! SO WHY THE TWO STARS? 1. It was barely room temperature. 2. They served my Benedict with ONE EGG. Who does that? Ain't nevah been to NO restaurant, in NO city, in NO country that serves a Benedict with one egg. 3. The waitress bugged da hell out of us! Too many check-ins, water fills and wanted us to close out the check when clearly there was no line or rush to seat anyone. 4. Check for TWO for a salmon omelette and my Benedict and 2 coffees $45/$54 with tip cuz I'm nice. The waitress was new and she's gotta eat cuz restaurants pay diddly and expect us to help finance their employees. Was it good....as my rating says...it could've been better. But KUDOS on the Hollandaise sauce and the salmon was good. It's the first spot in the Chi I've found that serves it. Just make sure its WARM! read more

It was delicious!!! I would definitely eat here! They had a very nice quiet setting. The waffles were nice and fluffy, nicely topped with the toppings. 100% recommended read more

Chicago Waffles - Red Velvet Waffle Breakfast. With Chocolate sauce, Walnuts, Whipped cream, and Syrup. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Seems like this is the place to go before tailgating for a Bears game! Went here for Sunday brunch and was packed with fans everyday. Beware packing restrictions on neighboring roads when there are events at Solider Field (no parking 2 hours before and 1 hour after event). Atmosphere: A little noisy, but pretty normal brunch place. Tall glass walls in the front bring a lot of light to the restaurant and there's a couple of TVs around to catch whatever game is on. Food: Once we ordered, the food came out within 10-15 minutes, which is great especially at a busy time. We got the red, white and blue crepes and the steak omelette. Crepes were extremely underwhelming - very thin, toppings didn't seem fresh and was way to much sauce for the amount of crepe. The highlight was the whipped topping that came on the side. The steak omelette was appetizing, good portion size in comparison to the crepes and had a side of potatoes that were seasoned very well with onions. The omelette also came with a side of pancakes (or toast) that was fluffy. Staff: The waitress was very nice, but hard to get her attention. I wouldn't put this too past her though because every table was filled. Should let customers know to pay up at the front when giving them their check though. Overall, the place was fine for brunch and decently priced. If I were to go again, I would choose something savory than sweet. read more

Food was decent and they sat our party of 5 pretty quickly...but that's where it ends. Waited almost 25 minutes before anyone acknowledged us(server was too busy holding up the wall until she saw a busboy serving us water), then there was a discrepancy with our bill. If in the area again, I'd might get brunch to go since the food was ok but wouldn't dare sit down just to be ignored. read more

When I come Chicago this place is definitely a must! There service is so fast you won't wonder about your food. Pleasant service thru this Covid we were seated outside but they have indoor dining. Brunch is a go here. read more

Great food (every time). Very nice and friendly staff. Their Waffles Benedict are amazing. Family friendly and very affordable.

We got here and were told a 10-15 minutes for a 2 people wait. It ended up being a 45 minute wait. There were parties of 5 called before us that arrived after us. The person working on front was not good at delegating tables. It took them 15 minutes for them to take our order. Not to mention they accidentally hit us with a chair as we saw other people get their order taken. Needs better (or some) management. I ordered chilaquiles and the chips were stale. I would've returned them, but by this point I was starving and we had had enough. One of their shirts saI'd.. "In Chicago waffles and Bitcoin we trust"... Well in y'all, I don't trust read more

Disappointed. We ordered a pound French toast breakfast and a half egg your way breakfast (1 scrambled egg, turkey sausage and pancakes) for take-out Sunday morning at 10am. The food was bagged and ready to go when we arrived, and the receipt stapled to the outside was correct too. Unfortunately, when we opened the bag at home, we had 2 wedges of the pound French toast (a half order?) and the other container had two scrambled eggs, some type of breakfast potato, 2 sausage links (no indication they were in fact turkey sausage), and most importantly; no pancakes. Aside from the incorrect order, I don't recommend the pound French toast. It's really dry! Just dry pound cake. And that's it. We tossed the sausage links concerned they might have been pork. The biggest bummer was not having something sweet (pancakes!!!) with breakfast. I've emailed the restaurant, but as of now, no response. read more

I came to Chicago for my friends birthday, and came here from finding this place off of Yelp/google. Erica provided the best experience ever!!!! I am still in awe of her wonderful customer service, with us being from out of town she made us feel so welcomed and made sure we enjoyed our stay in Chicago. I can't wait to come back and visit her again! read more

This restaurant is not following COVID restrictions. It is operating at 100 percent capacity and tables are not remotely spaced at 6 feet apart minimums. While I would like to support businesses during this trying time, it requires partnership by the businesses and the patrons to help stop community spread of COVID. The health department needs to step in and find them and shut them down if they refuse to comply with orders. read more

Really enjoyed this place. I'm from the south and portion size is everything! There was plenty on the plate and it was absolutely delicious. So many options to choose from. I really wanted to visit again but my visit was too short. Friendly staff. read more

I loved their mimosa special & chicken and waffles! The staff was super friendly and the place was very clean. Will definitely go back for more mimosas read more

We tried the sweet waffle flight on their regular menu ($13.95 - came with a leige waffle, strawberry waffle, chocolate waffle, and green tea waffle) and the savory waffle Benedict flight on their specials menu ($14.95 - one with roasted pork, one with smoked salmon, and one with skirt steak). The leige waffle was the best from the waffle flight. The others were average. The roasted pork was the best one from the waffle Benedict flight (it was actually really good!!), with smoked salmon in second place, and skirt steak last. Aside from the leige waffle and the roasted pork Benedict waffle, everything else wasn't very impressive and not really worth the price. We did enjoy sitting at the outside tables on a nice day though! read more

Yummy red velvet pancakes! We stopped by 2 times during our Chicago trip because we loved them so much.

Below average chicken and waffles. Its just chicken strips, one strip of bacon, and a small waffle. They said it was spicy syrup, maybe they gave me the wrong one? read more

Food was great. Great selection. Had an incredible time. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because on the way out we witnessed some unidentified species walking on the walls. Smh. Ruined it for us. Actually I was sick after. Massive runs... read more

Chicago Waffles - Checking in. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I used to visit this place pretty often when they first came to the South Loop and it was a great spot, but things have consistently gotten worse since then and today was the last time I'll ever eat there. We ordered 1) Two coffees 2) an orange juice 3) a Belgian waffle with strawberries and 4) avocado toast on brioche. Each of these items just got exceedingly worse. The coffee was burnt, and although they have intelligentsia, they somehow don't have real cream. The orange juice was very clearly just from a gallon jug you'd find at a super market. The waffle was cold, undercooked, flimsy, and less flavorful than an Egg-o. The worst offender was the avocado toast on brioche. The bread was cold and stale, not toasted at all, the avocado was browning, and the pesto was terrible. Neither of us finished our meal and instead we walked down to Spoke & Bird to get a much better breakfast for about the same price. TL;DR: Do NOT eat here. They have become one of the worst options in the South Loop and there are so many other, better options. read more

Best chicken & waffles ever!!! This small spot was dope and a great vibe. The playlist was on fire and the staff was great.

FOOD: The food was awesome. I love breakfast, and I recognize that it's pretty hard to mess up breakfast, but the eggs were fried exactly how I like them. I ordered the corned beef hash. If you like your hash crispy, you'll have to ask for that. It was admittedly a little pale. The pancake syrup was hot, which was nice because even though I got to the pancakes last, the syrup made them warm again. SERVICE: The waitress was very nice, but we had to remind her about our order of pancakes in order for them to get to us. At the table next to us, it seems chocolate chips were forgotten in the patron's pancake order. There were a lot of people there, so I get mistakes, but it's always nice when the server can double check your order before it even gets to you. WAITTIME: We didn't have to wait on Labor Day morning, but the parties that came in after us had some wait times. There was pretty good turnover, so the times weren't too long. Would recommend. read more

If I could put a big fat goose egg ZERO I would. The service is horrendous and the food is gross. My niece and I both ordered Huevos Ranchero and the menu said black beans, rice and green tomatillo sauce. When we received it, the black beans looked like a soup, the rice was hard and the sauce was RED. So...I told them I couldn't eat it. They came back and gave me the correct sauce but instead put the "black bean watery mush" in a bowl. I lost my appetite as it was so disgusting. We were at a "communal" table and shared it with a party of 5. We had a party of 4. The waitress talked to both groups separately and clearly knew we were not together. When she asked me if it was separate checks or all together, I said all together...THINKING SHE WAS ASKING ABOUT MY PARTY OF FOUR. Afterwards when we asked for our check, she said she already gave it and pointed to the other party at our communal table. That's when both parties said "we don't know eachother." She tried to blame me and said "you told me all together." Umm...yeah for MY party...I'm NOT paying for strangers. The icing on the cake was at the cashier. I gave my corrected bill to pay. THANK GOD I ALWAYS look at my bill. When I looked at it, I noticed that it was $17.35 more. I mentioned to the cashier that she gave me the wrong bill. She said, "what? I just gave it to you." I told her that it was wrong and pointed to my bill. That's when she said nonchalantly, "oh I charged someone else's bill on yours. I'll void it and charge yours." I asked when the other charge would drop off, she said "Monday" like it was no big deal. She's lucky I have money in my account otherwise, waiting for $70 to drop off of my card would be an issue. When I asked for a receipt stating that she voided the amount, she said, "I already voided it." I told her "I get that but I need something in writing in case I need to dispute this if it doesn't fall off." That's when she RUDELY told me, "Relax...I'll get it for you." WE ONLY CAME HERE BECAUSE THE WAIT FOR YOLK WAS 45 MINUTES and my 15 year old has come here a few times with her HS friends because she likes the waffles. After today's hellish experience, I told her that she is forbidden to give this establishment any more of our money. I will be sharing this with EVERYONE I know. I've NEVER had such an all around horrible experience. read more

Jelena was an amazing server. Very attentive and accommodating to our needs, esp since I had my fur baby with me. The food was more attractive to me than the taste, unless I just ordered the wrong dish. The coffee is great, always something floating in my cup tho, humm. I've been here many times in the past, just never checked-in or did a review. Perfect location, free 2 hour parking a few blocks away; walking distance to bars, beer gardens, and popular parks- I recommend you check them out. Today's entree's were super creative! Bon appétit!! read more

Waffles? Yes, please. Cold Waffles? No thank you. I met Johnny T in this spacious new restaurant and was psyched to try their waffles. What else would I order at a restaurant called Waffles? If you're going to call yourself "Waffles" you better have some pretty amazing waffles. And this restaurant is missing something very important...warm waffles! We ordered 2 different kinds to split (green tea and the bacon served with fried chicken). They came out cold to the touch (our dining neighbors had the same problem) so we sent them back. The 2nd time around they were warmer, but not hot like I'd expect. And they were tasty enough that we ate every last luke warm waffe bite from our plates. The manager was very apologetic after the first time and even said he was comp us, however; when the bill arrived we were charged for cold waffles. In all fairness they did take care of it as soon as we called another manager over. Most new restaurants have their kinks and looks like Waffles is having a temperature problem. Hopefully they get it under control before winter arrives cause no one is going to appreciate cold waffles in January! read more

The food and the service were amazing! I was a bit nervous going here because I'd seen some negative reviews recently, but I thought the restaurant was excellent! The waffles were delicious, my scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, my latte was just like I like it, and the drinks were great too. I'm addition, our wait person was the best! She was helpful, very efficient and knowledgeable. Also the prices were very reasonable. Waffles definitely deserves my five stars! read more

I came here since my brother bought the Groupon and asked me to join him. So, we went with our niece on a weekday about noon and we got a seat quickly. Service was a bit slow though. So, our waitress tells us that the deal comes with a hot chocolate flight, but we can substitute for a iced tea and we told her we will decide after our meal. We were going to get 1 chocolate flight and try 1 iced tea, but after the meal and quite a long wait the waitress just brought 2 chocolate flight. We look over the menu and wait for the waitress to come back. We ordered: Grapefruit Juice - My brother got this and I guess it was fine. Orange Juice - On the menu it's $2.95, but she said it's $4.95 as it's fresh squeezed. Overpriced for what you get. I could get a whole box and squeeze a whole pitcher. Waffle Benedict - My brother got this and I tried a little bite. It was ok to me, but I'm not big on hollandaise sauce. I think he said he preferred my dish. Chicken and Bacon - I got this and shared with my niece. Chicken was cooked nicely, but I didn't think the spicy maple syrup tasted that good. 2 Chocolate Flight - Wow! Not in a good way as they were so overly sweet. I think it came with a dark chocolate, caramel and peppermint. I'm sorry, but the service was a bit slow and the food is overpriced and didn't even arrive hot. read more

RED VELVET WAFFLES. Get them. Now. If you go here, you HAVE to get waffles. It only makes sense. The waffles were quite filling and extremely delicious. I had always wanted to try the elusive red velvet waffle, so I bookmarked this place a while ago. The fiancé told me to pick a place for breakfast for our day-long date, and I chose Waffles. Cuz I love me some waffles. Cons: Kind of a small place, and I found seating to be a little uncomfortable; my man and I were sat at a metal picnic bench of sorts. I like a back to my chair. We were seated next to other people, but, my fiancé actually knew them so it was totally fine. Coffee and a waffle. Delicious. I'll be back. read more

Saturday I did order the Chicken and Bacon. WOW. A waffle with Bacon in it over a light maple syrup with some spice to it! 2 big pieces of chicken that were fried to crispy deliciousness. Two of my pals ordered the Albondigas. We are getting better about sharing our Waffles so i got to taste. Pork and Lamb meatballs over a Chihuahua cheese waffle. So tasty! I'm looking forward to bring my parents here next and continuing my way down the menu! Bonus - They have added a Waffle Flight! read more

Ate here on a whim while in Chicago for work. I really just had a hankering for chicken and waffles and this was the closest place to the McCormick Convention Center. I wouldn't have guessed that it would end up being the best chicken and waffles I have ever had. I haven't tried anything else at this restaurant but the chicken and waffles alone merits 5 stars. The chicken was perfectly fried and extra crispy. The waffle came with bacon bits on top and spicy maple syrup on the side. How have I been living my life not knowing that spicy maple syrup exists? read more
