Food and service was superb, will definitely come back again whenever I'm back to Chicago!

Standard greasy spoon diner style place. All your standard breakfast lunch and dinner items. I got the meat lovers omelette, pretty big, tasted good, overall a good deal for what you spend. Small parking lot, but you should be fine, easy to get to if you're near Pilsen, right on Cermak. It's 24/7 which is nice, but just know if you go late, which I did, the wait might be longer since not as many places are open late now. It wasn't too bad, but there was a line for sure. Not opposed to going back if I'm near there and it's late again. read more

Steak 'n' Egger - Meat lovers omelet and hash browns - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Chunky is the most wonderful server! So sweet and gave us lots of laughs! Thank you for the delicious pie!

I will never return to this place I would go to for lunch even if it's walking distance from work. I got ripped off with a hidden service charge I was not told about. When asked for an explanation all I got was a "It's kind of like the tip." They told me that orders to go $25 or more automatically get charged a convenience fee. My order was under $25 and still got charged. They argued with me, made me mad, and did not give me my service charge back. Furthermore, I was told that even if I had separated my 3 orders for 3 separate people to go I'd still would have gotten charged the fee because it would be under the same ticket. My co workers and I will no longer go there for lunch. read more

Very rude and poor service. We sat for 20 minutes and nobody waited on us. They were very rude when we approached the counter to try to place our order. We ended up leaving. read more

Ordered 3 pancakes and a all meat omelette. The omelette did not come with potatoes- that's a first only pancakes. How did it total to $23??? Additional stuff $2 miscellaneous? Despite being very expensive the pancakes are pretty good. read more

Low prices, great coffee....i got the 2222 for breakfast (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes) for less than $7.... it was the right amount of food for the right amount of buck. Def coming back next time I'm in chicago! check out my music while you're at it!! https://soundcloud.com/christinalarocca read more

This place is the epitome of the greasy spoon. There is nothing nostalgic about this place. If you are one of the neighborhood regulars or late night adventurists, who just wants or needs food, this is the place for you. Ordered the Tbone and eggs for brkfst. I knew going in it would be just ok. I even got worse than that. Tbone is tough, ordered medium. Some grissel here and there. Had some flavor. Just ok. Eggs ordered OE..got them OM. Ordered the hashbrowns well done and what I got was hashbrown mash. Showed the waitress, toward the end of my meal when I asked for more coffee. She said they used too much butter. I would have almost been ok until I realized she never came back. She talked to Paul and all the old, bored, and tired regulars..hey what about me? Can I have some more coffee to wash down this crappy steak and buttery mash hash? The prices are also higher than the pdf menu you download from the website. I suggest a breakfast sandwich to go. You spend alot less and probably would enjoy more. Want a good steak and eggs? Don't come here. read more

Open 24/7 food is super solid good for late night eats. Shoutout my girl chunky for being the best waitress she'll take care of you. Great vibes Great people. From the 3 guys from LA Sunday night. Will make sure to visit you next trip read more

We have been coming to this restaurant since 2010, and they had never treated us Bad as they did today , You cannot put a waitress with a "FIGHTER" attitude. The waitress according to her name is Maritza who is on the morning shift today, Thursday, August 11, 2022, she takes our order SITTING from another table, shouting what else do you want? What more are you going to ask for? What else? Very rude which annoyed us and we decided to leave, we go to the register to cancel the order and the waitress made us an annoyed face, which we said that we canceled the order because of the terrible service of the waitress Maritza and she answered shouting: oh poor girl!! In a sarcastic and very rude way, it can't be that they speak like that to a client inside the restaurant, they had never treated us like that, Bad service! I would like the owner to see the cameras of the place so that he can see how his staff treats the clients. Llevamos desde el 2010 viniendo a este restaurante, y jamás nos habían tratado así, no puede ser que pongan una mesera con una actitud de "PELEONERA". La mesera según su nombre es Maritza que está en el turno de la mañana del día hoy jueves 11 de agosto del 2022, nos toma la orden sentada desde otra mesa, gritando que más quieren? Que más van a pedir? Que más? Muy grosera lo cual nos molestó y mejor decidimos irnos, vamos a caja para cancelar la orden y la mesera nos hizo una cara de molesta, lo cual dijimos que cancelamos la orden por el pésimo servicio de la mesera Maritza y contesto gritando: ay pobrecita! De una manera sarcástica y muy grosera, no puede ser que le hablen así a un cliente dentro del restaurante, nunca nos habían tratado así, pésimo servicio! Me gustaría que el dueño vea las cámaras del lugar para que vea cómo su personal trata a los clientes. read more

Loved the service from the get go! S/o THE GOAT CHUNKYYYY! Looking out for us and being so kind and sweet. Havent even had the food yet but ik for a fact its gonna be fye, and love the place and the setup read more

I visited this place on 3/22... not only did I call in immediately after we received the order to let them know that they had given us a bad steak, which was tough. It couldn't even be eaten and that it was dry like it had been sitting on the grill all day the first person that I spoke to. I believe her name is Rosie. She told me that I could not get the food replaced until TERRY was there. I called back after 2 PM at her request not to get anyone on the line except their voicemail. I called and called for several days in regards to this order for my money to be refunded to me because they were not able to remake it. I spoke to Rosie again who keeps referring me over to someone by the name of TERRI, who obviously never works on the days specified I then finally get a chance to speak to. I believe her name is DONNA the manager with the nasty attitude about the food, and she tells me she can guarantee that she . I was not sold a old steak because they cook their food fresh daily. Well, I have proof that you didn't do that this steak was not freshly made. The hotcakes had a weird taste. The eggs were overcooked If I could give this place a zero star I definitely would have, and I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone!!! I will also contact the health department in regards to this awful place, The staff attitude is exactly what the food looks and taste like ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!! read more

Love hate relationship with this place. My boyfriend made me accompany him and I guess their waitstaff team has shifted for the better. Better service.. thanks read more

Absolutely terrible service here. The waitresses coughed near us many times on purpose as if they wanted us to leave! Their bathroom soap smelled like urin as well! Awful place to eat! Not recommend! read more

This place is very good! I ordered the ribeye steak with eggs, and two pancakes for $9.99 it was phenomenal. Their steak is cooked great and has so much flavor and the pancakes are very good. My fiancé had the 3 breakfast 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, 3 sausage patties and 3 bacon strips it was $8 and some change. Everyone is very nice here too! Our new late night spot. read more

Steak 'n' Egger - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

WARNING. I went for breakfast at this place and noticed the waitress had a fresh tattoo on the top of her hand. Not only was it still oozing fluid but she wasn't wearing gloves. I watched her grab toast with her bare hands and proceed to butter it as if there wasn't an issue with it. She is putting customers at risk for being exposed to any type of contact disease/bacteria she may have or has touched. I left after bringing all this to her attention. Her reply was "ok" and continued her job with no gloves. read more

Chunky the server late nights at the cermak location is amazing. Like a shooting star, stylin' profilin'...trust your food order to her, she will not lead you astray. Tip her, promote her, be blessed by her presence. Worth a visit to the Egger just to hang with the ultra awesome Chunky. Glitter forever. read more

We did not get the chance to try the food, the service was that bad. I called for take-out and was hung up on the first time. I assumed it was an accident and called back. The second time the woman had an attitude the whole time and when I took a second to ask a friend what kind of steak she wanted (we were unaware that there was a choice as it wasn't in the menu) I was told to call back when we knew what we wanted to order as she was too busy. Well after being treated that way I did not call back. read more

Worst food I ever tasted ask for a medium well steak it was well done dry nasty like it had been the freezer for a month with out any cover on it ! And I want talk about the service it's 10 times worse than the food read more

Something unusual happens here around 12:30 am. That's when we stopped by. It was quiet in the diner and every chair was empty except for the ones next to the southern window. Over there, every single booth was occupied with older gentlemen, each wearing some combination of hat, suit, jewelry, and bookish glasses. When we walked in, they all ceased conversation and looked at us is if we were interrupting an important discussion. A photo of the scene (most likely taken from outside the window looking in from across the street) could have plausibly carried the subtitle "Aldermen meet to make ward arrangements over midnight coffee." Besides the suspicious activity carrying on across the room, our meal was quiet and enjoyable. I had a simple late night breakfast of eggs, toast, and bacon on gravy. It was cheap and fast. Once the fellows figured out we weren't listening in ob whatever they were scheming, they paid us no mind and we gave up on our conspiracy theories. The Steak n' Egger is open whenever you need it, whether it's to close a deal or nourish a late night. Not bad. read more

Steak 'n' Egger - Open 24 hours. - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Lady taking orders is very rude, doesn't seem to know what she's doing and she illegally charged me a tip on a to go order without my knowledge or consent. I was confused as to why my order was so high so I looked at my receipt and noticed she over charged me for one of my meals, charged me for two French toast when I ordered one and she charged me a $3 tip. When I mentioned this to her she first ignored me and then told me well that's the rules take it up with the owner. Never have I come here and received this kind of service and if this is how they will operate I will no longer spend money at this establishment!! read more

It's a great greasy spoon breakfast place!! The omelette, hash browns and toast for $7 was worth it! You can't find those prices in Chicago anymore. The service was friendly too. The only reason I deducted one star is because I think they could do a better job with overall cleaning. read more

Extremely over priced and the food isn't good! My food was salty and not very presentable in the container.

Definitely the place to go for the bang for the buck. Came here semi hungry and left super stuff! You can get a great meal deal with anything you order. We both got steak & eggs and it came with hash browns or pancakes and toast. Of course we both got hash browns and you can even customize it s bit for a low cost. With my hash browns, I got onions and green peppers which was a great idea on my end. We both asked for medium rare but my boyfriend's t-bone came out fully cooked while my skirt steak was cook to perfection. I guess I had the better end of the deal because my hash browns were even more crunchier than his. But definitely what I call a cheap eat to have a whole full meal. Cute little diner too. It may be small but it's really cozy and warm feeling to it. I highly recommend this place if you're feeling diner food. read more

A friend brought me here, her parents used to take her as a kid. I think I'm hooked. My T-bone steak, cheese eggs, hash, and man that buttery rye toast was so good. I think a lil bit pricey, my bill came to $17 with a coffee. But service was fast, staff was nice, good amount of heat in the building, and free parking are all a plus. read more

Steak 'n' Egger - T-bone steak, eggs, and has - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food amazing for a quick stop at 3am ain't gonna find better service wasn't white pies only type of vibe but more like truck stop..

Pretty much what you'd expect: diner breakfast food for a very reasonable price. You can get pretty much any steak breakfast for $10. The meat is lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, and everything is grilled on the same griddle. A few things make this place stand above something like a Waffle House: -We saw an employee making homemade pico. You gotta have some of that! It's citrusy and oniony and absolutely amazing -The hash browns...at first glance, they look average. But my theory for their secret is that they cook the potatoes on the griddle that they cook the steaks on. So the hash browns have an amazing flavor. Definitely best I've ever had Other than the pico and the hash browns, this is a standard breakfast diner. Enjoyed my experience! read more

Steak 'n' Egger - Steak n Egger namesake breakfast - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm glad to have found a good breakfast restaurant with some good southern style grits. This place is kinda like a mom and pop Waffle House. Three stars for the service though. We sat at the counter and wasn't greeted at all. When the server finally spoke to us it wasn't a smile, a welcome nor a welcoming tone. Compound that with the fact that after our order was placed we waited waaay too long for grits (already made) scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. Our food came out AFTER folks who came in after us and ordered steak and eggs. The place is tiny so be aware of that too. read more

Steak 'n' Egger - Diners Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place has a classic diner feel. On top of that, there is a decent amount of food for the price paid. The food itself is pretty good too. My favorite plate is the "steak 'n' eggers," which comes with ribeye or t-bone steak, two eggs, hash browns, and toast. The waiters are usually really nice and attentive. But on occasion, they can be really slow. read more

Are you drunk right now? You're not drunk enough if you're able to read a yelp review. Needless to say after a long night, this is a great place to stop and have some greasy and potentially health hazardous food. The food is pretty good considering its not expensive at all. read more

Manager or the lady speaking Spanish was very rude and did not understand my circumstance when I told her I was overcharged she completely ignored me and didn't want to deal with my issue I've been here before and I've never had this issue happen. Definitely needs better management and better employees the food was amazing though props to the chefs. read more

Stopped by here with one of my buddies that was just getting in from Texas. Great service, good food! Seems to be a patron favorite.

This is a good place for a late night breakfast run if you're into that. There inexpensive and the food is a great value for what you pay. Inside needs to be a lil bit cleaner. read more
