I went to this place on Mother's day and just recently the past weekend it is not a disappoint. The coffee was great the chilaquile chips were crispy everything was fresh My Bloody Mary was fantastic. New favorite spot for me and my mother when we have our early morning routine running errands. read more

Reservations can be made by phone! The reservation button on the website doesn't seem to work. Anyway, food is delishhhhhh! Stopped in on a Saturday with some friends. The salsas here are very tasty, authentic, along with the beans, yum! Service was quick and welcoming, never missed a refill! They let us hangout for a bit after we finished eating. It was a nice time! read more

You can really tell a lot about a place by how they fix a mistake. A few weeks back we had a lunch with visiting friends new to Chicago. They loved the ambience, food and service. We ordered my son (nut allergy). a dish to go and received a different variation than what we ordered. Unfortunately he took a bite before he realized it and had an allergic reaction I decided to call just to give the owner a heads up to remind the staff. He took full accountability, reminded his staff and offered to comp me next visit, Just ate there. Delicious once again and he was true to his word. Everyone loved the food. Patty melt hits it too! Thanks for being a great human and business owner! read more

During our visit to Chicago, we were exploring the area in search of a quiet spot for breakfast. The vibe of the restaurant immediately drew us in, reminding me of my younger years with jukeboxes, records, and Pac-Man video games. We decided to try the Chicken Pesto Panini, which was absolutely delicious--easily one of the best paninis we've ever had. We also ordered one of my all-time favorite breakfast dishes: Avocado Toast with over-easy eggs. However, as you can see from the photo, I received scrambled eggs instead. The dish was still tasty, but I was a bit disappointed by the mix-up. I chose not to request a correction, though. Both meals were generously portioned, and we'd definitely consider coming back if we're in the area again. read more

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow... Along With My Patience Imagine ordering a fruit salad and being served a side of someone's loose hair. Now imagine the manager reacting like this was just... normal? No apology, no urgency--just "Huh. Anyway." When I posted about it on Nextdoor (because, shockingly, most adults prefer hair-free food), the real entertainment began: locals insisting I should've "just picked it out" like some sort of culinary Marie Kondo. Newsflash: Basic hygiene shouldn't "spark joy"--it should be a given. If strangers defending a hair salad is this restaurant's target demographic, I'll gladly take my appetite elsewhere. read more

On top of the vibe of an atmosphere this place provides, this was the perfect casual boozy, sweet brunch that I was craving so desperately. The Candied Bacon Brunch BLT was so GOOD. The brioche / honey mayo combo was sooo good like... I could have ate 8 slices of that & be very pleased. But the candied bacon is so obviously the star of the show. It was my first time having it & yummmm. How they make that? Wasn't crazy about the hash browns as they were giving those lil crispy crunchy sesame sticks in asian salads, but the flavor was there. Really just a texture preference, is all! :) I didn't have the french toast (pictured), but my bestie Savvy did & loved it! Nothing against the item - she just loves plain jane dining. If you saw her, you would think otherwise bc girl is a walking color bomb. Service was super sweet & quick. read more

It's been 6 years since my last visit, and the price of the green eggs and ham has only gone up 1 dollar, thankfully. Nowadays, this is directly in line with the prices everywhere. Still delicious, still amazing service. Popped in on a Friday morning about 5 minutes after opening and was greeted and sat down right away. TVs going near the bar, very nice experience. Cozy and casual. Love this place still! Had the green eggs and ham again - they were delicious! read more

Years ago, I met a friend at Kitsch'n on Roscoe, and I liked it. Since I was in the area, I popped in for a quick breakfast before running morning errands. The coconut French toast was a hit. I liked that I could get my eggs scrambled with cream cheese. And the rosemary in the home fries added a very nice flavor. Service was as good as I recall from years ago. I think they may pack out by late morning through the afternoon. As the temperatures warm up, it is no doubt a guarantee that it will be a busy spot. They are worth it. read more

Love this hole in the wall gem. I had the avocado toast with some scrambled eggs. The dish comes when shoestring potatoes offer the grill. Here's a tip - make sure to get that avocado covered with the tatoes. OMG. The best. read more

The chilaquiles verde was the most delicious I've ever had. The restaurant was busy, but service was excellent. I will be back!

I really enjoyed my breakfast at Kitsch'n on Roscoe. We arrived on a Saturday morning and there wasn't a wait, which would be unheard of in other parts of the city! Another reason to love Roscoe. The service was pretty prompt and attentive. I had an iced coffee (pricey--I think it was $4?) and the pesto omelet. The pesto does not contain nuts. It was very tasty and my first experience with the pesto eggs trend! The hash browns were more crispy that I usually think of hash browns but they were really good. We also had the berry pancakes, which were pancakes with berries on top (not in the pancake which I prefer). The pancakes themselves had a really good vanilla flavor, not just the normal pancake taste. Parking was really easy on a side street a block west of the restaurant. read more

I think this place is super adorable. The artwork on the walls really brought the whole ambiance together. The service was quick and my server was really nice. I got the avocado toast with the rosemary hash browns. I'd rate the food a solid 4/5-- the eggs were perfect, it was a great amount of food for the price, and the textures were great! The only reason why it's not 5 stars is that I would've liked more rosemary flavor in the potatoes and no red onions (I'm more of a yellow onion gal); I felt like the whole sprigs of rosemary took away from it, and I would've enjoyed it more if the leaves were chopped up. Also for the avocado toast, I'll admit, I'm picky about them, but I would've loved to have more acid (I'm a sucker for pickled onions/radishes on my avocado toast). Of course, all the food opinions are just because I'm a picky eater, but this place is a must-go! The neighborhood is lovely, the music adds to the overall ambiance and this place has such a unique charm that I think is so magical. read more

Kitsch'n is one of my most favorite brunch places. It's not even near where I live but I'll drive out of my way to go. Kindest staff, bottomless coffee (and they're always offering and on top of refills) and the food is ‍ *chefs kiss* haha. Their rosemary hash browns are fresh, crunchy, hot and seem to be made fresh vs a frozen clump you might get from somewhere else. My favorites are the Two Deuces and a Jack and the Mac and Cheese. True diner vibes done right! They also have a patio in the back and front! Front patio is dog friendly! read more

Horrible! So many issues! No egg in a chiliques dish,duh. Didn't bring full order initially, missed items & OVERCHARGED!!!! My error for not looking at the receipt first. 3 people and we waited at the table 3 times longer than it took us to eat. & no it was not busy. I ordered hash browned n they were tiny CRISPY potatoes. Have to go up to cashier to pay because no waiter around! I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Will not be returning! read more

Couldn't recommend this place enough. Food, ambience, and service was top notch. Will be coming back next weekend!

BYOB. Hello! Who doesn't LOVE bringing your own bubbles?!? We sure did! Our short and sweet little walk over to Kitschn surprised us with no alcohol options during the winter. No problem! There is a gas station next door. Even better my friend lives close by so we were able to grab a bottle of champagne. What's even better, no fees for bringing your booze. You have the option doctor up your champagne or whatever you bring. The restaurant supplies the glasses and juice options. Pretty sweet deal. Post tiki party we needed some grease, but didn't want to go overboard. Whole360 options exist here! Oh, but I didn't order from this menu. I opted for the chilaquiles and my friend got the basil omelette with hash browns. Delicious! Cute little diner with a decent amount of seatings with tables and bar stools. Nothing fancy, but loved this little place! read more

A very cute and unique restaurant. The mimosa were refreshing and beautiful, but even better was the food. The Chilaquiles "Levanta Los Muertos" was by far the best I have ever had and we shared rosemary hash-browns that were worth the trip alone. The staff was energetic and fun. Definitely a must eat restaurant when in Chicago. read more

Excellent meal. I had the breakfast burrito. My date had the pesto eggs. The food was very good, but I'd like to comment on a few miscellaneous items which, while innocent enough, drew my review down from 5 stars to 4: 1. The hot sauce bottle is very skinny. I almost dropped it twice! 2. The pancakes were so good that my date ate them all before I could get one bite! 3. One of the beans from my burrito fell on the floor! I've logged all of these deficiencies with pictures - hopefully Kitsch'n On Roscoe will see this review, make some corrections, and get this ship back on a course toward perfection. Bottom line: Go here! read more

My mom had a great time for her birthday here, it really turned her day around. The service was attentive and so sweet, they brought our food quick, and checked on us frequently to make sure everything was great. They even sang happy birthday to her, with a little cake I loved the decor and wall murals, the most. Definitely want to come back for the panini and purple haze vodka. read more

Best hash browns on the northside.. Great breakfast joint. Service always great too.

(2-1/2 stars) Our first impression upon entering was, "How cute." This neighborhood place is an ode to mid-century nostalgia and, as the moniker suggests, it's brimming with kitsch. The tacky, tawdry whatnots that people used to accumulate during that era are prominently displayed in cabinets and on shelves and walls. Oh my, what bad taste we once had! The retro theme extends to the furnishings and the comfort foods on the menu. The front room has '50s style dinette seating and a classic counter with stools, and a smaller back room serves overflow crowds and private parties. There are colorful patios out front and in the rear. The menu features traditional breakfast and brunch items, some with a 'contemporary twist.' It's augmented by a short list of lunch items plus daily specials. The food was okay but overpriced, and nothing we sampled really stood out. Fried Chick'n & Waffles ($15) featured two mini-waffles and one fried chicken thigh (an upgrade to "real" maple syrup will set you back another $2). The Tennessee Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich ($14) also featured thigh meat (white meat is not an option here). The 1/3 lb. House Burger ($9 + $1-$2 per add-on) and accompanying curly fries were just average. The best things about the sandwiches were the brioche buns. The servers were cheerful and accommodating, but even though we arrived before the lunch rush, our orders were not taken until nearly 30 minutes after we were seated. We waited even longer to receive our checks. read more

This place is the bomb. First of all, when I told the hostess that I needed a table for 2 but that my dining partner was still 5-10 minutes away and that I'd understand if she wanted to wait till our entire party arrived she was fine with seating me anyway. The waitstaff was immediately attentive with coffee. The menu included a lot of delicious looking options and, especially important to me, a lot of vegetarian options. The offerings are a bit unusual in the best possible way. The food is truly amazing as are the decor and patio seating. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that they never refilled my coffee throughout my entire breakfast. I'd chalk this up to staffing shortages but as I mentioned previously, there was plenty of attentive staff... except when it came to coffee refills. read more

Been coming here for a few months and finally remembered to take pics for a review!! I love the vibes, a funky eclectic little brunch place. Super vegetarian friendly and so so tasty. They have a cute booths inside and a bunch of tables on the covered back patio. Dogs are allowed on the front covered area, I've brought mine a few times. This time I got the breakfast tacos, I added chorizo. It was great and super filling! read more

The menu says hashbrowns, but they are not. These are more like those potato stix that come in a can, only fried together stuck into a cake. Completely inedible. They come with most dishes.

I liked the retro-style diner theme, but the food was bad. I ordered the breakfast burrito and the eggs tasted stale and the burrito was altogether flavorless. Adding salsa and cholula sauce couldn't save it either. The burrito came with a potato/hash that wasn't great either. Overall the food was very greasy and buttery, without having a lot of flavor. My dining companions seemed to agree. One girl had to send back her decaf coffee because it tasted burnt and another friend said didn't care for the waffle dish she got. On a bright note we got to sit outside which was nice! read more

I went here a few days ago upon the recommendation from a friend's coworker. The food i had was good, but a lot of my friends thought their food was just okay. The verde salsa is SPICY so if you're not into that, avoid that option. We also went with a non-meat eater and the options were limited for her compared to the rest of the menu read more
