    Service with an attitude!
    Ray G.

    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!

    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).

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Man the service sucks here. I guess you get what you come for. Our server did a good job of not caring about us which is the idea behind Ed Debevic's. The problem is they don't have the quality in the food to back up their service. We all had a good time but most everyone in our party was disappointed in the food. They pulled off the old diner look, the crappy service but we don't want the crappy food.

    I love this place. Tasty food and it has magical genie. We had a burger, salads and assorted drinks. I would highly recommend stopping g in for some tasty bites.

    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.

    We came here for lunch and it was so fun. The hot dogs are huge and they brag about their wieners being big, and they really are! if you want a great lunch this is a place to come.

    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

Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast.
