    White Mocha Latte
    Alli W.

    We had breakfast here on Thursday morning during our trip and the place was almost empty! Homey and warm place with gorgeous views outside. Staff here were friendly, quick and efficient with their service. White mocha latte - Yum! Perfect balance of sweet and bitter without one overpowering. The drink was super creamy and tasty. Avocado toast - Too much arugula in this but the overall taste was really delicious. We appreciated how they served fruit as a side. Biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs - Scrambled eggs were bland. Biscuit was more like having a donut - fluffy and soft to eat. It was a satisfying dish to have overall for breakfast.

    Fried Chicken & Biscuits
    Benedict C.

    We found Eggy's while looking for breakfast places within walking distance to our hotel. The place is very nice and it wasn't too busy on a rainy Sunday morning. Our party of 2 was seated right away and our waitress brought over some water and took our drink orders. I went with the fried chicken and biscuits while my dining partner went with the American skillet. The food came out pretty quickly and it was all solid. I tried the breakfast potatoes first and they were seasoned perfectly and cooked well. They had some bite to them but they weren't hard. They were seasoned pretty simply but they tasted great. The fried chicken was fried very well; the outside was almost crispy while the interior stayed juicy. I love sausage gravy and Eggy's is solid; delicious when slathered over the fried chicken and biscuits. The overeasy eggs on top added even more to the textures and flavors. The biscuits were the lowlight of the meal but they were still decent. One of them was a little overdone so it was super dry while the other was softer. A little inconsistent but they were both tasty. I enjoyed their coffee and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy her matcha latte and American skillet. All-in-all, a solid breakfast spot.

    Veggie Skillet

    Went here for a weekday brunch and it was pretty crowded. Service was quick. Menu was huge with large diner menu of pancakes, skillets and many more I got the skillet and soup. I am glad that i found something vegetarian in the menu even though it was egg based. Its a bit more on the pricey side for a diner. Ambiance was bright and service was decent

    We went twice while we were visiting Chicago. The food was good- flavorful and warm. The service was timely and the servers were attentive and nice. It's a bit busy in there and you may end up sitting very close to other people, but I appreciated them trying to reduce wait times.

    good brunch food but not worth the wait to get seated or the wait to get food. on a sunday morning, the wait was obnoxiously long and once we ordered, it also took awhile to receive our food. we ordered a smoothie in addition to our order and the staff forgot about it for so long that we just cancelled the order. in terms of food, it's solid but not anything particularly special. the chicken tortilla soup was delectable and the chorizo eggs benedict was a nice combo. but the panini was pretty normal. the interior has diner vibes, it's very casual.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

    What a great find. Popped in here for lunch and enjoyed it very much. The grilled chicken sandwich had a great spicy sauce. BLT sandwich was good, but should be made with iceberg lettuce, not field greens. My Tortilla soup was great. Excellent French fries. Broad menu of breakfast and typical diner food. Isaac was a great server.

    Obsessed! Eggy's is phenomenal, delicious food, fast service, large portions, and super affordable. Perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Always hits the spot!

    I used to be a regular decades ago when I worked nearby at Tower Ambulance and was in and out of Edgewater Hospital. Edgewater was a true community hospital, and Eggy's was a friendly, wonderful hospital cafeteria. The original owner served up comforting breakfast and coffee to hardworking medical workers and distraught patients' family and friends and helped heal our hearts. One of my favorite memories of those younger days was having breakfast at Eggy's. One of my deep regrets at aging is that I cannot eat like that every morning. Some of my favorite dishes are on the menu at this upscale much more expensive 21st Century version, but the decor and location are certainly more posh. Actually compared to the rest of the immediate area, the food is a relatively good deal here. It's perfect if you're staying at the Sofitel or otherwise nearby. Sadly, none of the workers seem to know anything about the original owner even though there's a article about him on the wall (young people don't read I guess).

    This place was a hot commodity when we went in, it was a long wait so we sat at the bar for quicker service. I got chicken and waffles, it was just ok. The chicken quality and prep wasn't flavorful or well cooked to me. The waffle was a little hard, but with some butter it was ok. My friend got the French toast, she didn't finish it because the toppings were overwhelming. Potatoes were a little bland. The staff were kind and accommodating.

    Puerco Picante Skillet

    Sunday brunch!!! The restaurant itself was a little difficult to find but once we found it, we hit a jackpot. The restaurant is a cute, trendy spot with fun signs around. All the savory dishes (skillet, black bean burger, veggie panini) were incredible! The fries are shoestring cut, crispy, and very yummy. The chicken and waffles dish was huge. Could be shared if you have a smaller appetite. (It's a whole half of a chicken.) The crepes were just alright. They weren't thin enough and there wasn't enough nutella on it for my liking. The service was very quick and responsive. I will definitely be visiting again!

    Green Eggs & Ham
    Clara L.

    This spot was super close to my hotel, so I figured why not grab a bite for a late lunch after my early flight and a quick nap. The staff was very friendly and they seem to provide unlimited coffee, which was exactly what I needed after that red-eye flight. I went for the green egg and ham dish and it was super soft, almost like oatmeal. But it was way too salty for my taste and the bill ended up being pretty pricey, coming from someone who lives in sf. Overall, the vibe was cool and the staff was super friendly, but the food didn't quite hit the spot for me :(

    Hi? Does anyone know where or what brand is the orange juice they serve im from florida and have not been able to find that sweeten taste and wonderful taste their orange juice had when i visited

    Sorry. I don't know the answer.

    Can anyone clarify the seating policy for the bar? It has always been walk up and first come first serve, but we were just kicked out as walk-ups for a reservation by the hostess? Is this the new policy?

    We ate at the bar last time, but were seated by the hostess there. We were a family of 4.

    Does anyone know if eggy's potatoes are gluten free? Thanks!

    Potatoes in general are gluten free. I don't see anything that's added that would result in them not being gluten free.

    I finally waited in line to try Lou Mitchell's, a true Chicago classic that's been around for…read moreyears, and I can definitely see why it's so popular. One thing that really stood out is that everything is made from scratch, from the bread to the jam, which gives the whole experience a homemade, comforting feel. The portions are very generous, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. On top of that, the service was friendly and impressively quick despite how busy it was. That said, the pancakes personally weren't my favorite. They weren't bad, just not something I'd go back specifically for. Overall, it's a solid spot with great service and quality food. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu next time.

We ordered a coffee and a Diet Coke. Our bill was OVER $70. SEVENTY dollars. I always say I believe in paying good money for good food but the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze. And this is on top of the city parking you have to pay to eat there. It's just craziness. I will say that the toast was pretty delicious. The server was nice enough. The bathrooms were downstairs and needed attention.

I would assume a place where the newest thing since the 1980s is the security camera would have vinyl with more cracks and patina than my trusty old leather jacket! But no, it's in fantastic shape. Especially given that, the vibe in here is awesome! It's like stepping through a time-portal. For food, I ordered an old favorite: Pigs in Blankets. The food came out fast, though, to be fair, there was only one other person dining in at the time. The sausage links were crisp, and the pancakes were lightly sweet and fluffy. All in all, great! While perhaps not enough to summon the Michelin Guide inspectors, it was better than the average greasy spoon. Finally, I really appreciate that the prices are reasonable, and that there is parking! Final verdict: I've had a small handful of spectacular breakfasts. I've also had criminal breakfasts, where two unsalted eggs, two bacon strips, and a tablespoon of potatoes costs $14.95. Golden House Restaurant & Pancake House finds itself in that sweet spot in between - it is neither a spectacular spot (often have prices to boot), nor is it an overpriced, underwhelming greasy spoon that stays in business thanks to regulars who have been coming for decades and don't want anything better.
