    Gluten free waffle with chocolate chips
    Amanda A.

    We tried the Creamosa and several breakfast items. I'm not used to being able to get a waffle but... they have gluten free ones that are delicious! I give five stars just for the gluten free waffle with plentiful chocolate chips that melted into every groove. I would return for this.

    Omelette with hash browns

    I moved to Chicago from the Detroit area. Here, we've got Coney Islands and diners everywhere - ANY of them have better tasting food than Griddle 24. I've tried this place twice, maybe 6 months apart, most recently coming back in November I believe. Just no. For the price, the food is so greasy and I always leave disappointed. I hate to leave a bad review because the staff are always so kind, I just can't justify spending another penny at this place. Come to metro Detroit and go to a Leo's or Kirby's Coney Island, I promise you our diner food is better.

    Diner is 24-hours and they have all day $12 specials that are huge portions and delicious. After Second City show, we were starving and looking to grab a warm meal on the way back to our hotel. Griddle 24 met our needs. We ordered the Chicken Marsala, Southwest Salad, Chicken Parmesan, and Greek chicken. All, except Southwest salad were on the $12 special menu that came with a salad or soup and were generous portions. We also got a chocolate cake to boot. Comforting warm food and hospitable staff on a chilly Chicago evening. This diner was a great experience.

    Pancakes

    I feel like diners are sometimes hit or miss but this was definitely a HIT! Came with friends after a night out and everything we got was super filling. The portion sizes are massive, so be prepared to EAT or take leftovers home. I got the Popeye Scrambler without spinach. Pancakes came on the side and it was super filling. I'd definitely recommend. Other people we came with got pancakes and the other scramblers - everything I tried a bite of was really delicious. We were able to sit immediately and our server was pretty attentive considering how busy the place was. Overall, it's a cute space for a cold winter morning and I'd definitely recommend if you're craving some diner food! Love the decor.

    The food didn't taste great, even after a late night in the city but it did the job. Ambiance can't expect much when it's after midnight, so I'll excuse the hot mess. Service was good, our server Carlos was quick and attentive. I'd come back for a late night vibe!

    Española (with cheese)
    Aaron A.

    As I awoke bleary eyed and hungry on a Saturday, the first thought I conjured was that of diner food. After a quick search, we decided on Griddle 24. Upon entering the restaurant, you are immediately immersed in the chaos of 24 hour diner. We were seated at the bar, which gave us a front row view of the kitchen window. It was impressive to witness the volume of orders being handled by the staff. They seem to have an efficient system, but it can lead to incorrect orders. In our brief time there, we saw a few being sent back from wait staff, including mine. I ordered the Española omelette, sans cheese, but my request was mistakenly omitted. After receiving the correct order, it came back undercooked and lacking any discernible flavor. The chocolate chip pancakes were of perfect diner quality--crispy edges and chock full of chips. Griddle 24 is a nice stop if you want a quick breakfast, but beware the lack of attention to detail.

    Impossible Burger
    Steve A.

    Had some pretty filling stuff at this always open diner. It actually may close some times so just know Griddle 24 is one of the places to get breakfast, lunch, or anything. Lots of the fairly typical offerings to be expected. There's burgers, salads, and sandwiches. Finding a good time to come here is a crapshoot. It's always open and that means you can come at any time figuratively and literally. The place typically gets busy in the morning because they have massive choices including omelettes. Also it's great for late night munchies after having fun. May seem like a surprising place to get vegetarian choices but they have these. It's about $16 for the Impossible Burger. We each got this while I left the cheese off, but got it with avocado and the choices of sides. A lot of entrees to look through on the menu. There's pasta as well as sandwiches like paninis. Get here literally whenever you want to because it's always open of course. It's located close to the Chicago Avenue Brown Line station. There's a few things even for vegans and vegetarians.

    I've been coming to this same breakfast spot for years and eat here multiple times a week for work meetings or with my family. It's a great mom and pop 24hr diner where the staff will actually get to know your name, and you can sit in a cozy booth with friends or family. Their breakfast deals are phenomenal (check out the 2x2x2; or my favorite the Popeye's Scrambler). My wife typically enjoys the corned beef hash & eggs or a Reuben. Pancakes are a must. We sometimes come as a family for dinner after the kid's sports games and I love their $12 dinner specials (especially the chicken kabob plate) while my kids always just get the Mickey Mouse pancake. Either way, this is THE Diner to go to in River North and the Near North Neighborhood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Love having them in this neighborhood!

    Griddle 24 totally exceeded my expectations. The French toast was perfect and actually one of the best I've had in the city. Service was fast, even with the decent AM crowd. I'll definitely be back to try the boozy shakes next time! - AD

    Veggie omelette
    Laurita M.

    I love a good diner and griddle 24 is exactly that. When we arrived there were a lot of people waiting. You have to put your name on the waitlist and be present inside the diner to get a seat. Once we were seated, I ordered the veggie omelette with a side of hashbrowns and chocolate chip pancakes. The food was pretty standard. The omelette and hash browns were a bit bland and the pancakes were standard but nothing super remarkable.

The menu is filled with many of the typical diner favs and what they're known for is they bake their own breads, so I knew I needed to try that. Soon after sitting down, our server brought us a homemade donut hole with a slice of orange. That donut hole was so very tasty! I also got unsweetened iced tea to drink and that was freshly made and also tasted great. For my entrée, I opted for their open face tuna sandwich, which has melted American cheese on top of it and the combo of the tuna, cheese, and their amazing bread was so very good! The tuna is definitely not your ordinary tuna from a restaurant, it's high-quality, thick pieces and hardly has any mayo in it. And this portion was HUGE! I couldn't eat it all. It came with their homemade fries and cole slaw - the cole slaw was excellent and the fries were pretty good, sort of "homestyle breakfast potato" type of flavor, but a big, thick, square, beautiful fry, it just was a little soft, not very crunchy... it was very good though. Overall, we all loved what we got - would definitely return!

They were a bit short-staffed that morning, so service was slower than usual, but we weren't in a hurry and the staff remained friendly throughout. I ordered the daily special French toast, added fruit and pecans, plus a side of bacon. The French toast was absolutely massive and could easily be shared. My only complaint was the $3.75 charge for pecans, which felt a little steep for the amount included. Overall, the food was good, the diner atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for, and there's something special about dining in such a historic Chicago institution. If you're visiting the city and don't mind a bit of a wait, Lou Mitchell's is worth experiencing at least once.

    I asked our waitress what she likes to eat. She said "somewhere else."…read more That is the job, and she nailed it. Ed Debevic's opened on Wells Street in 1984, ran 31 years, went dark in 2015 when the building came down, and came back in 2021 on Ohio Street in Streeterville. Same bit, new address, and a very easy walk from the Michigan Avenue hotels. The premise has never changed: the servers play characters, the sass is the entertainment, and the room is full 1952 fever dream, jukeboxes on the tables, chrome and neon everywhere. The food is better than the gimmick needs it to be, which is the part people do not expect. I had the Early Bird Sandwich. Southern fried chicken, bacon, an over easy egg, cheddar, avocado and spicy mayo on a bun. It is enormous, it has just enough heat to keep you interested, and it was flat out delicious. That sandwich alone is worth walking over for. The coffee was legitimately good too, not the sad refill you brace for in a theme diner. Tara had the Two Eggs Any Style and her whole plate was perfect. Eggs cooked exactly the way she asked, bacon properly crisp, nothing to fix. She asked for the crispy bacon up front and our waitress complained about the request loudly enough for the neighboring tables to enjoy it, then brought it out crispy anyway. That is the trick of this place. The attitude is theater, the cooking is not. One honest heads up for future guests: the hash browns come out plain and they need help. Add cheese, add onions and peppers, add anything. On their own they were the only dull thing on the table. I want to give the staff real credit, because what they do is harder than it looks. Playing rude on purpose while running a busy dining room, reading which tables want to be roasted and which ones want to be left alone, and keeping it warm underneath the whole time takes talent and stamina. Ours was excellent at it and we laughed the entire meal. Two practical notes. We walked in early on a Saturday and sat down with no wait at all, so go early if you would rather not queue. And the legend is that the staff climb up on the soda counter for a dance number. We did not get one, and I am choosing to take that personally. Their sign says that if you are easily offended you should probably eat somewhere else. Believe them. If a server telling you the food is somewhere else sounds miserable, this is not your place and no hard feelings. If it sounds like a good time, you will have more fun over breakfast here than most restaurants manage over dinner. Five stars. Get the Early Bird, doctor the hash browns, and bring your sense of humor. We will be back, and next time I am asking a dumber question just to see what she does with it.

Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval.

The patties were insanely juicy and perfectly cooked, with that beautiful crispy, caramelized edge you want from a great griddle burger. The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I DONT FUCKING KNOW. but I completely understand why people put Au Cheval in the conversation for best burger in America, if not the world. The hype is real. This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10
