So I'm working my way around the Roscoe Village brunch scene. Slowly but surely. Today took my friend and I here and we had a pretty good experience. The server was super attentive when we first got there because we were one of only two tables. However, as the morning progressed, the back room was completely full and we had to really flag her down for things like more coffee and containers to take food home (my friend finally just went and got some behind the counter on her own). I had the steak and eggs. I've had better. She asked me how I wanted the steak cooked and I asked for it "as rare as they can make it" knowing that it is hard to make rare or medium skirt steak. However, it came out well done... and I know from cooking at home that it can certainly be done medium. Fine. I ate it. I could tell that the biscuits that it came with had been microwaved because they were really hard on the edges... had-to-cut-with-my-knife kinda hard. Highlights: my friend must have liked her chicken and waffles because there wasn't much left when she was done. Also, the kids portions of french toast sticks were HUGE and a great deal for $3.50. They scarfed them down. I liked how everything came with fresh fruit too... just just a random orange section or a slice of under ripened melon... a whole scoop of fresh fruit. I liked it... but I think I liked my experience at Orange two doors down better so I'll probably head back there before I give Kitsch'n another try. read more

Really, I wanted to give Kitsch'n 3.5 stars, but I rounded up. My travel buddy and I headed to Roscoe Village on an impossibly gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, hungry for lunch. I'd enjoyed Kitsch'n when I'd lived in Chicago and when it'd first opened in the late 1990s, and I was hungry for its comfort food and laid back atmosphere. Plus, I knew we'd be able to find parking. It was a wee bit after the lunch rush, so we immediately got seated outside. We both ordered a chipoltle bloody Mary after lusting after some we'd seen being consumed at another table. SO good. Nice and spicy, just like I like 'em. I ordered the "Kitsch'n Favorite" tuna melt with spicy curly fries. I'm not one who usually orders tuna melts at restaurants because, hey, my tuna melts KICK ASS, and I figure there's no way they can top mine. But this one? Was great. The tuna salad had nicely balanced flavors (i.e., not too mayonnaise-y) and the way the cheese was melted? It just defied description. My companinon had the chicken and waffles. Now, even though I'm from the south and consider myself somewhat soulful, I've never experienced the chicken and waffle combo that's common in southern soul food cooking. But I had a bite of hers. I gotta say, I don't get the combo. Individually, both the chicken and the waffle were great. But I don't like my sweet with my fried/salty. The service was pretty lame. They weren't that busy, but we had to ask for drinks and things more than once, and our server was just missing at times. I was also sort of sad to see that the menu isn't as "fun" as it was when the restaurant once opened. Where are the ding dongs and twinkies, eh? Anyway, I'm glad it's still there, and Roscoe Village is still my second favorite neighborhood in all of Chicago. read more

Kitsch'n On Roscoe - Kitsch'n patio on a gorgeous day - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely delicious breakfast tacos, incredibly friendly service, and fantastic music playing! Can't wait to return.

Went here for brunch and will definitely make it a staple. They have a big back room and outdoor patio that I didn't even know was there so we sat quickly with a party of 4 at 11 on a Saturday. We had green eggs and ham, breakfast tacos, and chilaquiles and everyone loved their food! The has browns have a yummy corn bread crumble on them. They're crispy and there are a lot of them. Bloody Mary's were also basic but delicious! read more

Service can slack sometimes. It seems like they're always suffering from "brand new staff syndrome". It's nice to see fresh faces but after a while you just want to recognize someone who knows the menu and how to get items to you quickly. The last time I was there I literally saw the girl who was serving us stop and stare around at the dining area when she was distrought over whether to freshen everyone's water (which hadn't happened in a while), process someone's credit card or run food to tables. The "serve-trons" are always just a little too green. But with all the weird 70's memorabilia it's a fun place to hang out. This is kind of like Roscoe Village's version of Pick Me Up Cafe in Lakeview, only stranger which is why it's so much fun. As far as food goes, I really like the mini burgers. If service were more solid I'd give it 4 stars. read more

To read some of these reviews, you get the impression that Kitsch'n on Roscoe--seriously, a pretty terrible name for a restaurant--has been resting on its many laurels for a long stretch--if having folks like Rachael Ray blurb about your restaurant counts as a "laurel." And for a joint that markets itself as a monument to kitsch, Kitsch'n's collection of '70s and '80s flotsam is really kind of weak and uninspiring; I'm confident that there are garage sales that have more impressive galleries of this kind of stuff merely by accident. But the restaurant is right on the main drag of Roscoe Village with pleasant views of the street--good for watching the parade of yuppie babies and dogs--and the front room feels spacious and comfortable given if it's actually pretty small. And where Kitsch'n got high marks on the morning we were there was on food and service, which is really what counts. We're not really brunch fans--not really into the whole eggs and breakfast dessert for lunch deal--but at breakfast time Kitsch'n seems to offer a wide range of appealing choices. If my "Borracho Breakfast Burrito" wasn't the best or most original I've ever had, it attained more depth of flavor than many (and not really sure what "Danish" hashbrowns are, but they were rosemary-heavy and good, too), and my wife was very pleased with her "Green Eggs & Ham," i.e., with pesto. Special nod to our server, who I think was named Liz: We came up for a long weekend in Chicago with my developmentally-disabled brother-in-law, who isn't always the easiest to deal with when confronted with a menu like Kitsch'n's, which is rather long and unconventional. He just wanted plain pancakes and sausage, which really isn't offered as a menu item. She was especially helpful in putting together an order for him and handled him with genuine good humor throughout the meal. Portions are very generous, but the prices still might be a notch high. read more

Visited this breakfast nook while on vacation. 5 stars, would recommend. We had Green Eggs and Ham and the BLT. Try the Purple Lemonade for an extra special treat! read more

I really enjoyed this brunch spot! Met some friends here for Sunday brunch around noon. I had a Pumpkin Chorizo Burrito special that was a delicious seasonal dish. My three friends each had different dishes that they all enjoyed, too. We also enjoyed the Bloody Mary's... The bacon alone is worth it, but the drink was also really good, not being too spicy, and a unique smokey flavor. Was the right touch after an evening celebrating the Cubs winning the National League Championship! Also, this place is actually much larger than it looks at first; there is a back room in addition to the front dinning space, and it looks like there is also a back patio in addition to their front patio. read more

Very yummy! The staff is friendly and the food is good. There's an outdoor patio area for the summer and a nice warm toasty covered area for the winter. Love their chicken and waffles! At 2pm they play showtunes!!! read more

Cute and fun! The food is tasty and the decor is fabulous. They also have a nice outdoor patio in the back that will be great when the warm weather sticks. I definitely want to go back and try the desserts - I was way too full after good-as-mom's meatloaf! read more

I certainly enjoy the inventive menu to match the 70's inspired decor. Outside dining is a plus. I've been twice and both times have been a little less than impressed with the food. The first time I ordered a falafel; which was probably a poor choice anyways because this isn't the place to go for Middle Eastern food. On the other hand, my friend had the chicken and waffles and I was more jealous than I've ever been in my life. That was really good, although I felt a bit pricey. The second time I went was for brunch and I thought it would be fun to get The Green Eggs and Ham, but again it was a big let down. I'll give them one more chance because I really do like the atmosphere inside. read more

I was super excited to check this place out so I made a reservation for Mother's Day brunch. I never come out to Roscoe Village and I love the area and this place definitely is super cute and retro. We loved the décor and the table decorations. I couldn't believe how small it was until the end of my meal when I walked to the back to use the restroom and saw how large the dining area is in back and they have the cutest outdoor patio. Super jealous, we would have loved to sit outside. Owell... So the food here was decent. I was expecting a larger menu as they advertise 2 brunch menus online. The options were slim and when I decided to get the crab cakes benedict I was super disappointed when the waitress said they were out of them... I got the green eggs and ham, my mom ordered the veggie/pesto omelet, my brother ordered the ham and cheese omelet and my other brother decided to go with his unoriginal order of eggs and he went with the coconut French toast. We split an order of bacon and biscuits and gravy. My brother had the bloody mary which was good and we all got a round of mimosa's. The drinks were tasty and we were super excited for our food. But when it came, we were kind of wondering where the rest of it was? My green eggs and ham came with potatoes and 1 piece of Texas toast. It said 3 eggs but looked like maybe 2... and my bro's order of French toast was tiny. Two pieces and about 3 berries for almost $10? Not really worth it. The food was tasty but the portions were tiny. I think we are definitely big eaters but if this is what you call a hangover brunch it isn't curing a hangover and is definitely not filling up our tummy's. My bro wanted to grab McDonalds breakfast on the way home! I don't know if I'd go back, the place was so cute and although the portions were small, the food was good. Green eggs and ham made with pesto was delicious! read more

Local eclectic spot in Roscoe. We went on Saturday and were surpirsed how many people were there. The place was actually really big in the back, they have a heated closed off patio. Service was pretty quick and friendly. We ordered from the brunch menu. Food was nothing special. read more

this is quickly becoming one of my favorite Chicago haunts, particularly for breakfast platters - the chilaquiles and the carnitas over sweet potato (get the fried egg on top, it's worth it) are probably my favorite though. and any dish that comes with those amazing thin fried potatoes is worth it too. they are quick with the coffee refills (and it's damn fine coffee too) and the portions are hearty but not to the point that you'll be sick after. plus, they've got booze. prices are aight. playing up the name, it's filled with a lot of knick-knacks and random memorabilia. it's like someone opened a diner with all the junk they took from their grandparents' basement. we always have a good time here. there's also a lot of space out back, so don't be worried if the tiny front area is all filled up. read more

I was wrapping up my trip to Chicago and I returned to a small place I had dined at before when I used to live here. I was solo so I sat at bar. There were two employees hanging out at the counter, (it was early and the place had yet to pick up, which it did by the end of my meal). These two young ladies were a perfect fit for this place and their scrap book discussion, Etsy, Regresty (funny website posting bizarre Etsy items I learned) and general topics were great eavesdropping material. I drank three pots of coffee and order the Huevos Locos (Spicy Crazy Eggs) 10.99 3 eggs scrambled with spicy chorizo, habanero, mango-mojito salsa & pepper-jack cheese, served with warmed soft white corn tortillas, garnished with fresh fruit. I thought it was OK. The eggs were a little dry, they didn't overdue the chorizo, which is no small feat so kudos for that and the habanero had a beef to pick with me and won, stuff had a nice kick to it. The warn corn tortillas were a treat and helped the meal, but I feel like it needed something else. To Recap: The Good: The decor is the standard for kitsch and put a smile on my face. The staff is very helpful, cheerful and attentive, they deserve five stars, great group. The Bad: Bad is too strong, but there are some amazing places for breakfast in Chicago, if this were in Kansas it would be five stars, but in the Windy City the expectations are higher. I would come back, but it wouldn't be in mainstream rotation. The Band This Restaurant Most Resembles: Devo. Retro with their own side of funk. read more

One of my all time favorite places I swear by for brunch that is. Great Mimosas. The restaurant is beautiful makes me feel very fancy and keeps you entertained while you wait for the food. FOOD IS GOOD ! service is nice the waiters are very sweet and make sure we are happy every time we are there. High recommended read more

I'm not going to lie, we went here because the wait at Orange was 30 minutes and we had a limited window of time to grab brunch before meeting up with some friends. I wasn't thrilled that I was going to have to forego the delicious green eggs and ham I had been talking about the entire ride over to Roscoe VIllage, but I was starving and my friend David has ZERO patience so waiting wasn't an option and we gave Kitsch'n a whirl. We walked in and upon first view there weren't any seats available, but the waitress grabbed us and lead us past the kitchen into a HUGE outdoor garden that was fully enclosed and WARM - it was 5 degrees out. The waitress was quick with the menus and to let us know they had a Sunday bloody mary bar on special. Although I was glad to hear they had a spread of fixin's for a delightful morning alcoholic beverage, I wasn't actually paying attention because I was beside myself with joy to see that THEY also had green eggs and ham on their menu!!! Of course I ordered that right up, ate every single bite and washed it down with 3 cups of their tasty coffee and left happy and full. read more

My friends and I were looking for a good mimosa brunch place for a friend's birthday weekend and we came here for the first time. The staff was so welcoming, the food was great, and the atmosphere was wonderful-great music and decor. Adrian was our waiter and he was so friendly and the best server we've all ever had. We actually spent the whole day talking about how much we loved it and we're planning on going back again next week. read more

Kitsch'n On Roscoe - Breakfast Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Super yummy food! Felt super safe while eating outside. I recommend the BLT sandwich with the candied bacon it is delicious.

Came here for Monday brunch (was visiting from out of town), mainly because it was near where I was staying. Service was fast because we were the only 2 customers in there. Pretty good selection of food. I got an omelette which was nothing special but definitely not bad. The atmosphere is old-school diner meets retro decor which made it feel cozy. Maybe it's more fun when it's lively - but that's not their fault: Monday brunch is not really known to be super crowded anywhere! For sure wouldn't be opposed to coming back if I'm around the area again! read more

Great place to eat. Kid friendly, great atmosphere, good food, and great coffee. This is a classic example of personality and style that makes Chicago a great place. I ate the smoked ham and cheese omelete, the wife had the breakfast burrito, and the kids ate the French toast sticks. Everything was good. The service was good and we were never waiting long for coffee refills. Defintitely 5 stars. read more

Chill local brunch place. It's a more of 2-4 friend environment. Service was kind and got the food pretty quickly. Went there around 12pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately. Loved the awesome decor feel. For food I thought my breakfast burrito was great, but nothing too memorable. The cheese was good within the burrito. This was the first time I had hash brown in string form. read more

Kitsch'n On Roscoe - Breakfast burrito with hash brown - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you've been here or viewed the photos "Kitsch" is an appropriate name for this cafe in Roscoe. Everywhere you look there is a bright splash of paint and colorful nostalgia. Posters and items of the 70s adorn the walls and shelves. The cafe has more room that it appears. There are a few tables on the main street, two small interior rooms and a high walled back patio. We were happy to grab a seat on the sunny back patio for brunch. The menu mainly consisted of classic American breakfast items, but often with a twist, as well as a couple of Tex-Mex as breakfast items. After ordering Bloody Mary's (their version is very good, has a good bit of kick, especially with an add on of their awesome candied bacon) our group had a difficult time deciding what to pick. There were a fair amount of both savory and sweet options that sounded appealing. One friend had the breakfast nachos which were topped with scrabbled eggs and the other had the omelette. I ended up ordering the breakfast BLT. More candied bacon with lettuce and ripe tomato in a soft, toasted brioche bun. The potato side was a bit unique. Thin bits of deep friend potato, thinner than shoe string, with rosemary and some veggies. I really liked it, but if you are looking for a more traditional, potato side it might not be for you. The service was good and prices are average for the area. read more

Such a fun menu with delicious food options. Have been two weekends in a row since moving to Roscoe Village and plan to keep coming back!

I really enjoy the vibe here and plan to keep on visiting! Both the bbq chicken omelet and chilaquiles are solid. It's incredibly difficult to pick because all the breakfast items sound so good...I honestly don't know if I'll ever make it to the lunch side. Fair warning: the hashbrowns are spiralized and not "normal" which can be a bit different. But they are crispy and delicious and that's what matters. read more

We got hungry on a bike ride and needed lunch STAT! I called the order in. It was ready when promised, perfectly timed. The social distancing requirements were thoughtful and protected both workers and customers. The meals were nicely packed in containers so they didn't slide around in transit. My son had the cheeseburger, which he declared to be delicious. I had the Reuben. It was a perfect balance of components. The corned beef was lean and tender. Total win. This locally owned business is doing a great job working through the Stay at Home Order. read more

The place was really hyped to me, so maybe I expected too much. I had the Kitsch'n Chilaquiles, and they were average at best, but by the end of the dish it was grossly soggy and unappetizing. My friend enjoyed the Borracho Breakfast Burrito and my other friend loved the tofu scramble. Drinks were ok, but nothing special. As weird as this may sound, but a mark of a decent restaurant is bathroom cleanliness, if it's clean, then the kitchen is clean. Men's room was pretty nasty, with a broken seat and toilet tissues strewn around. Floor was pretty gross too. I wasn't a fan and felt it was incredibly over rated, but my friends were a bit more forgiving and to be fair they would recommend it. To me there are far better options within walking distance. Because it's iconic, doesn't make it good, it just makes people accept less than average. read more

Kitsch'n On Roscoe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You know how it's Halloween and you have 3 parties to attend and all have copious amounts of drinking and you figure that you should imbibe (heavily) at the first two but still go to the last one because you still feel like partying even though it's not a good idea? Yeah that happened to me last night. Which is why waking up this morning hurt a lot worse than I thought it would. Enter Kitsch'n. I've been wanting to try this place for weeks and armed with a couple of friends and an a la card gc, I was ready to go. Our wait was only about 20 minutes for 3 people at 11:30am, which isn't bad, considering. Once seated, we were served coffee fast (thank god) and our orders were put in a few minutes after that. The food came out quicker than our waiting time. (Pause for a moment while I remember my delicious food.) Continuing on, I had the chilaquiles and they were glorious. I can't even begin to tell you how much it hit the spot. Now granted, I can probably replicate the fried tortilla chips, eggs, cheese and spiciness, but why would I want to when I can get waited on, get good coffee (my coffee making sucks) and get guaranteed deliciousness? Exactly. The company wasn't bad, either. read more

Try the Purple Haze. It is THAT delightful an experience. And while my boyfriend lives for this sort of evironment: seated between vintage Barbarella and Billy Dee Williams posters -amongst giddy, brightly colored, plastic-cupped, cheeky, campy kitsch- I require a little more to adjust. However, the vodka infused, aptly-named concoction made it all tolerable for me. Vegetarian and Vegan friendly (makes BF happy), still serve Bacon (makes me happier) AND they have Twister! Another round of drinks you ask Miss Server? You bet! Spin! All hands on red! The least flexible buys! read more

A bit overpriced for a diner-style brunch, especially when the main components are butter and flour. We came because I noticed that they had chicken and waffles on the menu, which my boyfriend has been wanting to try for a while. I don't really understand why they don't give you the whole waffle with the chicken and waffles. For $11, I expect to get the whole waffle. The ancho-honey sauce that they give with the waffles is probabaly where the "kitsch" lies. Not bad, but not quite worth it. Also, the overdose of rosemary and roasted red peppers thrown in with the cubed hashbrowns was an unfavorable combination, in my opinion. Watch out for the hot sauce on the table - my fault, yes, but I failed to notice the "XXXtra hot" warning on the label (made from habanero chilis, it also proclaims...oops, stupid me) and doused my potatoes in the sauce at first bite, thus spoiling my appetite for the rest of the subpar meal. Go here if you like expensive, done-up diner food that doesn't taste quite right... read more

HUNGOVER TESTED, BILLY DEE WILLIAMS APPROVED Under the watchful eye of Billy Dee Williams, who out of the corner of my eye seemed to wink at me from his Colt 45 perch above my table, I chowed down on a plate of chilaquiles billed as "the ultimate hangover breakfast". I basically inhaled that ethereal combo of eggs, tortillas, and smoky chipotle salsa in about 3 minutes which left me feeling like a million bucks. Works every time indeed. read more

BEST PANCAKES and BUSBOYS in town! I don't know why, in the 6 years I've been going here, I haven't tried the pancakes until my last few times...probably because I normally prefer to eat a savory breakfast over sweet, but now I will ALWAYS order the flap jacks. They are freakishly and consistently good. I might even go so far as to call them...flaptastic. :-) (All "you're a nerd" comments are welcome) There is one particular busboy that I really respect. He is ALWAYS on top of filling coffee and water and, on many occasions, he'll just take my order because the server is MIA. He's friendly and hard working and is so much appreciated by me that I often tip him separately. Now, I saw him bussing tables across the street at VoLo but I hope that doesn't mean he's left Kitsch'n! I have eaten many things here for many years. They are GREAT at some things and not so great at others. Good: egg salad sandwich, tuna melt with carmelized jalepeno-jack, cucumbers with tzatziki, curly fries. and, duh, the flapjacks! Iffy: salads, omlettes, breakfast potatoes...rosemary, yuck! Kitsch is kool. I love the idea behind Kitsch'n. The decor is fun and interesting. I like etching a sketch while waiting for my meal, and both the front and back patios are enjoyable to dine on. The back being my favorite because it can cover you from the elements should it need to...and it's a tiki hut! From now on, I'm going mainly for the flapjacks... And the bus boy. read more

I'm going to have to complain about the chicken and waffle situation here. My g/f loves them but I'm gonna have to call bullshit on this one. I ordered the chicken and waffles here and they served them with this gross honey concoction. I asked for maple syrup to go with my waffles and the guy looked at me like I pissed on my plate and pointe to the honey and walked away. The folks at the table next to us asked the waiter what mixed-drinks that he could recommend and he refused to recommend a drink. Super obnoxious waiter! This was a while ago so the dude might not even work there anymore. I'm just saying bring a little bottle of syrup with you if you go. read more

Wow I can not say enough about how happy I was to head to this place... Huge lesson learned, I am very quick to read on yelp before trying a new place and the reviews on here are decidedly questionable at best... One of two things the questionable reviews are older and the restaurant and staff has taken note and corrected or I am lucky... My buddy suggested this place so I reluctantly figured why not, actually said to my other yelper buddy if its bad we will have a funny story to tell on Yelp but here I am on the rooftop yelling as loud as I can this place was great! I had the Coconut Raspberry french toast and it was divine! Moist on the inside and just right on the outside the flavor was full and satisfying for sure, I also had a side of eggs for protein and they were fluffy and plentiful more then the 2 I asked for! - I am not complaining! My buddies meals were equally mouth watering they had the Fried chicken sandwich and the Chilaquiles. I tried the Chilaquiles, I have to say with zero expectations because I am spoiled by Tiztal, to my pleasant surprise they were sooooo delicious! I did not actually try the Chicken sandwich my buddy was inhaling it so quickly, I did not want to risk loosing a finger and he was not offering, so I took his word for it... The service was amazing too! We actually had a team attending to our every need! I am a huge fan of out door dining and I absolutely loved the back garden seating! I am even told that they have a Dyson blade in the bathroom what more could you ask for? read more

You know the drill - you're out late on Saturday night, drinking bottle of O'Doul's after bottle of O'Doul's while you're trying to finish that cutthroat game of Scrabble with your homies. You wake up on Sunday morning with a sour taste in the back of your mouth, and when you stumble to the bathroom, an "X" tile mysteriously falls out of your underwear (ooh, 12 points!). After a hard night out on the town, Kitsch'n has the cure. I love the goofy throwback decor and the unabashedly strong coffee. The menu might not be huge, but it's got about all you can ask for from a breakfast joint. The back patio is great on for just sitting with a drink in one hand and the morning paper in the other on warm days, and the inside is cozy, too. Places like this make me miss Chicago. read more
