Very unique in the sense that you see the opposite of being greeted and treated politely and nicely! Staff, waiters, waitresses were mean but in an spectacular and funny way! This is how they differentiate themselves from other restaurants :) Great food and nice ambience. Recommend it :) read more

You might think this is just a tourist trap, but the breakfast food is actually really good. So don't just come for the ambience and the lighthearted abuse. And if Schmullen is your server, you will feel extra grateful for being reminded what a Hippocrate you are for your unhealthy eating habits. read more

Waiting time for a table on point. Our glorious waitress Velveetaaaaaa. Velveeta. She was so much fun. She got them dance moves for sure! Thanks for the pitcher of Pepsi for the refill too! Appreciate it! The food was good! Cheeseburgers huge ! The place was clean as it was going to be. DJ was fun! Shoutout to what made it the best part though, our waitress Velveeta. Coming all the way from Fort Wayne, Indiana! We shall be back! Thank you for everything!! -- adding to this. Our debit cards were really switched when she made the joke I better not switch these cards. We noticed when we went to pay for something it was declining all to see a different name on the debit card. We were stuck at Shedd aquarium with no card and then it ruined my mom's time so that was a waste of money for us because she had to leave and go outside to cancel her debit right away. After that, it just ruined the time. So we got back on the highway to go home. We aren't from here and luckily had another debit card for gas and toll roads. My mom is unfortunately highly upset over this matter. read more

Food is good but the abuse is better! Recommend coming here for a meal with waiters and waitresses who treat you like a step child. Tons of fun to watch patrons faces from the unexpected service. Will come back when in Chicago. Recommend it the shakes rock read more

Ed Debevic's - Food is good but the abuse is better! Recommend coming here for a meal with a bunch of characters - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My brother has a flight to Japan and we wanted a place to stop at and have fun. This was the perfect option, the food was good and fast. The service was outstanding and they kept us entertained and excited! The atmosphere of the restaurant really screams 80s dinner which is so fun. I highly recommend visiting if you're in town or near this place. read more

Fun place to get some good food. We left stuffed! Miss Kitty and Schmullen were great!

B.Rat was great. Served up a mixture of sass and still quality service. My nephew does, indeed, have a giant head as she mentioned when putting his paper hat on. Food was good. I had the meatloaf sandwich. Chili was so so. The party also got the Route 66 and the patty melt with no complaints. Cute decor and some very cute waiters. read more

Barbie provided us with such HORRIBLE service that it made our whole experience fun and amazing! . She dished out the perfect amount of insults, sarcasm, and bad recommendations. For our last meal in Chicago, Barbie made sure we had a memorable one! Oh and the food was yummy too! read more

Ed Debevic's is exactly as advertised. The food is good solid diner food. I have the Chicago style hot dog and it was very good. The fries were crinkle and cooked right. The waitress was helpful but I would have allowed her to be ruder (considering where I was). I even wore the hat! read more

I planned a trip to Ed Debevics for my best friends bachelorette party for the last day, as I couldn't think of a better way to end our trip. We came in, and initially everyone was so friendly that it left us, wondering if they had completely changed their business model. Once we were seated, a server named Sugarfoot came over to help, dressed as sort of a hobo clown cross that was fun. From the get-go, he was very playful with us, and always harassing us whether he stopped by to exchange a few words or smack the hats off her heads and menus out of our hands. My favorite thing he probably did was walking by and throwing a handful of napkins at us to give us our napkins. There was a lot of dancing, some great commentary by everyone, and a plethora of harassment whether from our server, or any others. The food was good, the turkey burger was described as incredibly juicy, the regular burger was described as a little drier as was the bun, and the sliders were the same as well. The fries were good, and I enjoyed my Chicago dog. Looooots of dick jokes from him about getting a wiener and had to publicly state that I needed practice before taking on their 11" one haha. It was an amazing time in this cool, retro themed diner and lots of great signage on the walls and funky outfits donned by the staff. Although I don't get to eat here often, we had a great time and loved all of it. Just make sure you've got a real open sense of humor before visiting because I felt like my answers might get me cancelled at some points through the visit lol. Pro: the birthday song, omg. "This is your birthday song, it isn't very long" and they all just immediately bail. It's hilarious! read more

Molly was awesome. Great time service was excellent. Food was good and fast, great to see this staple back in Chicago.

Axel is the man, he made the experience awesome and he was great with the kids. This is a fantastic classic ChiTown spot!

Miss Kitty is skinny & pretty! Had a great time!! Great find for our weekend trip in Chicago.

Out of all the "kid focused" restaurants in Chicago this had ascended to my favorite. With that tidbit aside the food is still pretty damn terrible but the entertainment factor here alone is worth the price of bad food/admission. I do however think that the "sassiness" & rude comments are geared for slightly older kids. The ramifications could be unbearable if your kids are already headed for inappropriate behavior. The staff put on a dance routine & gave my daughter a complimentary dessert & sang for her birthday which is MORE than I can say for the majority of places. We order the chocolate milkshake, chicken tenders, turkey burger & the chicken sandwich & aside from desserts they were all hard passes but again you're not here for the food. read more

This is the most kid friendly restaurant in streeterville. Fun 50s diner with sarcastic staff, entertainment with dancing! And hats to wear. The kids loved it- they were entertained without any toys or crayons. The prices are typical for the area (expensive!) But the food was tasty- I had a Reuben with a side salad that was enjoyable. Kids loved the chicken tenders and fries and world's smallest ice cream sundae. Highly recommend for kids if you are in the area. read more

The food was great and servings were very big!! We had lazy Susan and she was phenomenal!! Just the right amount of sass and service was the worst, IN THE BEST WAY!!!! We used to go to the old one before the building was torn down sometime around covid, not it's back and we love it even more! Loved it so much and definitely recommend for a birthday lunch or dinner! read more

So fun! B.rat took great care of us. Burgers were hot and delish. Haven't been here in 30 years and I'm so glad we stopped in for lunch.

Server was all sort of fun and the 50's themed environment is a great homage to the time frame.

Haven't been here in years, but they were just as sarcastic and sassy as I remember. The sweet potato fries were awesome! read more

Miss Kitty was fantastic and the food was great! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the performance of YMCA.

The food was very fresh- real turkey well-cooked - for the club; signature slider with Ed's own meatloaf and bbq. Yummy. Velveeta's service was fun and sweet. Even tho the vibe is for rude servers . Dancing leaves a bit to be desired. read more

Good food and entertainment. I have serious food allergies, so I appreciated that they broke out of character to address the seriousness. My salad was plentiful and the waiters fun. read more

I hadn't been here since I was a teenager and the old location was still open. The service was entertaining but a little slow. The food was good but expensive. The experience was meh. I think having a larger group for the waiter to play off of and joke with would have helped. read more

Atmosphere was great! Enjoyed interacting with the staff. Topanga was awesome!! Food was average, but definitely a great experience and worth going. read more

Hi Ed's!! We welcome back the corny cheesy live affair with old school diners and fountain drinks. The new location brings back the same cool soda shop with the usual burgers. The fun staff is ready to dance your order to your table. The music is a little loud, and the colors and lights even louder. Adult drinks are available, and ice cream treats are a plenty. Save room for the Sundae... read more

Schmullen was fantastic!! We had the best time!! Food and fun!! The best!! My 7 year old and 4 year old think it's the best restaurant ever!! read more

The world's smallest sundae is the cutest, ever! See pic for cuteness. The key lime pie was tasty. The brownie sundae was very tasty! Chicken fingers and fries were a bit salty for me, but fine for everyone else. Was a a great, fun time and experience for all the nieces and nephews. The nerd was our server and he did a great job, being in character. We parked nearby, in the Nordstrom/Eataly parking structure. Make sure to pre-pay for parking. read more

JC was a fantastic server. On base with his sass and easy on his sassiness in front of the little kid. We enjoyed the food and the overall sarcastic ambiance. Would definitely return! read more

Schmullen was our waiter and he was AMAZING! The exact service that we expected. We laughed the entire time. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was delicious!!! Will definitely be back. read more

Fun! Fun! Fun! After a week in the city for my husband's surgery it was nice to have some good food and a smile. At true treat for any age.

I get that the entire theme of the restaurant is that the servers are supposed to be rude, however it got to the point where it was disruptive toward the meal and just offered bad service. When asked MULTIPLE times to get utensils or napkins, the server would just look at us say no and walk away. Additionally, our food was considerably behind the rest of our group because our server just didn't take our order which caused the whole group to have to stay longer for us. Overall the attitude of the servers was not helpful and not good service. read more

Took my daughter (19) and her friends in for a Drag Queen Brunch. Everyone had a blast! Service was great! Our Server (Cherry Bomb?) was attentive and had the just right amount of Sass. This was our first time visiting the new location and everything was new, clean and upgraded version of an old diner. Food was great! Two of us had breakfast and the other two ordered burgers. The worlds smallest sundae isn't 50 cents anymore but well worth the chuckle. Girls had chocolate malts, root beer floats, and a shake. I will be back again! read more
