    Service with an attitude!

    Ed Debevic's is known in Chicago for their sassy wait staff and fast food. They will intentionally attempt to hurt your feelings in a very funny way. They ridiculed my clothes and food choices throughout our visit, but I still had a great time. The food is okay taste-wise, as the atmosphere is the star of the show. If you're used to polite and professional weight staff, be prepared to have your feelings, hurt here , and have fun at the same time.

    Peachy was fantastic, absolute queen, and a great (sassy) server. Vibes inside are refreshing and smooth with old diner ambiance. Food was everything you need in a classic American breakfast (so good we didn't get a chance for a picture before it was gone). And the price was super reasonable right off Michigan avenue! Would return! Thanks Peachy!

    EXCELLENT!! I stopped in to pick up my to-go order of biscuits while on vacation in Chicago, and what a great surprise this place was. I was greeted by an impeccably dressed chick from the 50's who had no time for me. She read me like the Tribune and dismissed me as if it was 3:00 on a Friday after a long week of school. I had no idea what I was walking into, as I had never heard of Debevic's, but was in the mood for biscuits. They were divine, by the way. Before long, a greaser showed up, and as with his lady friend, my presence was like a pebble in his shoe. These two made my day. They remained in character and had me cracking up. I wish we had an Ed Debevic's at home!

    I came here in a whim with my husband because we were staying at a hotel around the Magnificent Mile. We didn't know anything about Ed Debevic's, but it was such a fun experience! The decor was really cool with that classic diner feel, and of course the servers are loud, rude, and obnoxious in the funniest of ways. We got to see their performances, which was hilarious. Food was good as well! I had the Tex mex skillet, which was really good. My husband and I also split the French toast (also good).

    Have to share my experience tonight-- I'm originally from Detroit but I love me some Chicago and I used to always bring friends here so they get this fun experience. Time has moved Eds from its original spot but this one is great! I want to thanks Eddie our server tonight for a great experience- I was a bit hesitant to bring my son who has autism to Ed Debevics because you never really know how they might take a joke, but my kid has a great sense of humor and it turned out to be a great memory made! Eddie was pretty quick to modulate and he "got it" situationally pretty quickly. Loved the food, had a club sandwich and my son had 2 hot dogs- think we misjudged the size because one would have been enough. The chocolate milk shake was phenomenal and my son loved the smallest sundae in the world- he loved the joke. Thanks Eddie you're great at what you do!

    I haven't been to Ed Debevic's in a looooooong time so it was time to have the boyfriend and my teenage daughter experience it. It has been so long since I have been there, I wasn't even aware that they have moved, haha. I made a reservation on Tock, but we were eating at an "off" time so if we hadn't, I don't think the wait would have been too bad. What I remember about the place as a kid was that it was sassy with straws flying through the air and that they have the "World's Smallest Sundae." Both things are still true, although the straws now are biodegradable! For being sassy, our waiter was funny, not mean, and still communicated clearly around when he had to go and dance. He let us know that he had to go dance, but he would refill our drinks as soon as he was done. The menu was larger than I remember as a kid and I believe most, if not all, of our party of 5 was happy with their choices. I thought theme restaurants could either have good food OR be fun, but Ed Debevic's is BOTH! My burger was juicy and I was satiated with the portion. The crinkle fries were crispy and delicious. My only comment on the burger would be that the bun was a little dry, but overall, I was happy with my choices. The DJ looked like he was having the time of his life and I swear that every time I looked at him, he had a different hat on his head! The restaurant was clean. The chairs were a little close to the tables around us, but not the end of the world. Would I rush back there for a burger? No, there are plenty of places in Chicagoland to eat those, but I would be happy to take anyone that would want to experience it again!

    We need a breakfast place this was close to our hotel. Little did I know it was going to be fun. Apparently they are known to be rude and sarcastic. Smokestack was our server and was great!! The food was hot and good! The biscuit was really good. They have good music playing. The music was not too loud. Price was reasonable. Highly recommend.

    Sassy and classy at the same time. Our family is heading out from spring break in the windy city. Ed Debevic's is a great last stop. Food is good, service on point and our Server "B Rat " was amazing!! She had an understudy whom I cannot remember her name. She was ok Always a great place for breakfast all day Streeterville 50's diner! Ask for the toilet water!!

    I forgot all about this spot! My friend and I decided to go and had such a fun time. Parking is street parking, so give yourself a little extra time to find a spot. The breakfast was solid and the entertainment made the whole experience even better. It was my first time visiting since they moved to the new location, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The decor really took me back. I'll be back!

    I was looking for a bfast place that had soup and salad and found eds. Def wasnt expecting this type of restaurant, but so glad i stumbled on it! Great experience. My first time at one of these "rude service" type places. Fun way to end our trip! Was funny listening to him poke at some other tables. Retro style diner, serving comfy american food. I had the minestrone and a cobb salad with the house dressing, which was like a raspberry vinaigrette.

    What is the "atomic mix?"

    If I remember right it's kind of like a pico. Onion, tomato, diced pepper.

    How is parking? We have a dinner reservation on Saturday and I'm kind of worried bec my mom can't walk far.?

    Does this place take reservations? We have a group of 9!

    Yes! They have an easy online system. Google Ed Debevics reservations.

    Is it teen friendly around 7:30pm?

    Check hours, I'm not sure what time they close,but it's always teen friendly

    Absolutely insane experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place gets booked up…read morequickly and rightfully so. My wife and I ordered the bone marrow to start and shared a single cheeseburger with the bacon and egg add on. The bone marrow with the marmalade on the side was amazing. I loved the thick toast they gave on the side. It was the perfect balance for such a rich dish. The burger is probably one of the best burgers I've had in my life. The bun was nice and fluffy, the burger was juicy, the bacon was thick and flavorful, and the egg was cooked to perfection. For a couple of bites, we threw a little bone marrow and the marmalade on the burger and it took it to a whole new level. The restaurant was small and comfortable. A tad loud with the music, but I didn't mind too much. I would gladly trade that for the delicious meal we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great burger. Just make sure you get a reservation early.

    Arrived just as they opened at 10AM on a Friday and were the first customers in the door, but by…read morethe time we left at 11:30 there was a good sized line. Vibes inside are excellent and drinks are (very) boozy with a variety of booths, tables, and bar seating available. Burger with Egg and Bacon (4.25/5): Look, this is a great burger. Bacon is melt in your mouth and the egg adds a bit of creamy richness on top of the fatty, salty beef and cheese combo. The bread bun is pillowy, but I wouldn't wait in a line for hours for this. Bone Marrow (10/5): Now I would wait in line for hours for this bone marrow dish that absolutely changed my life. This comes with 4 HUGE pieces of bone marrow that you spread over fluffy, perfectly toasted Texas toast and pair with a beef cheek marmalade that exactly rides the line between sweet and savory. If you come here without ordering this, you're missing out big time. Green Salad (4/5): Nice, fresh and I needed some fiber. Nothing mind blowing, but a good change of pace. Crispy Fries (4/5): Very lightly crispy fries (reminiscent of light well for the west coasters), but the sauces are where this shines. Garlic aioli and mornay sauce (think white gravy) were rich, thick, and excellent! Key Lime Pie (4.25/5): Whipped cream on this INCREDIBLE, wish you could just order a bowl of that. I think they serve it slightly warmer than fridge temp (cool not cold) and it just melts on the tongue with really strong vanilla flavor. Pie itself is also good; nice strong tartness with the buttery and salty crust. Mille-Feuille (4.5/5): Chocolate sauce has a nice depth of flavor with the shattering crisp of the pastry. Pastry cream was a lot thicker than I expected, but super rich and delicious. Definitely a dessert to share.
