fast friendly service .Large tasty omelets,my new favorite! Great potatoes too! will be our new go to

Most items are $20 Portions are very very small The menu does not reflect what they advertise, for example the Chicken wrap had barely any chicken in it with no detectable spinach - it was mostly nuts and lettuce. Frankly a complete rip off and extremely disingenuous. Orange juice is 12 oz on the menu but came out in a 8 ounce cup. Wtf read more

Everything was incredible! The service, the food, cleanliness. The menu is huge. There is something for everyone. Highlights: Amazing French toast Homemade corned beef Fresh iced tea Super nice waitstaff read more

Obscenely overpriced particularly given how the restaurant isn't even located in the West Loop. Took over 45 minutes on a Sunday at 1 pm to receive a salad and a tiny, mediocre omelette. Charged nearly $5 for a fountain drink. There are far better options, that are much cheaper, in far better areas. read more

My second time here and highly recommended having Brunch here. The food, staff and ambience are amazing! They pay attention to every detail. Thank you so much for keeping quality food in the area. Sincerely Ron G read more

Our wait time was unacceptable and we received terrible service. The food is not tasteful. It is a very unwelcoming environment, they made it very clear they didn't want us in their place of business. They over charged us and never provided a receipt. I recommend finding a better restaurant to dine and spend your money. It doesn't deserve a star!!!! read more

Honestly I don't typically write reviews like this, but the entire experience was so awful I feel like I had to. They clearly need more wait staff and cooks because it took us like 30 minutes to order and 40 minutes for our food to come. When our food finally came, most of it was inedible. There was so much butter in our eggs we thought they were undercooked and runny at first. There was literally a puddle of butter in our omelette. The sausage was undercooked in the middle so I couldn't even eat it. I didn't send anything back because of how long it took us to get our food in the first place and because our waitress was so busy and didn't come by that often. Finally, I ordered the American breakfast for $14. When the bill came they charged me $20.50. Apparently, there is an up charge when you have meat with your American breakfast. First of all, an American breakfast is literally eggs, meat and potatoes, so don't call it an American breakfast if it's not. This up charge was NOT clearly labeled or described. I saw the up charge for my added bananas on my pancakes, but this second one was sketchily hidden on the menu and the waitress didn't confirm this with me when I ordered and in fact asked what kind of meat I wanted. I get prices are high and things are expensive, but for the quality and how slow it is, I would not return to this place. When I brought up to the manager how the American breakfast up charge wasn't clearly labeled, he didn't say sorry, didn't show any type of remorse or anything. Just continued to say it was listed. I literally was looking at the menu for a half hour because it took so long to order and never saw the up charge. Anyways, when it comes down to it, the food was bad. The only person who I felt did a really good job was the man filling the coffee and water. He was super attentive and nice and is honestly the only reason I left a tip. read more

Honestly, the food was fine, but the staff was kind of rude -- not super friendly or welcoming. It definitely takes away from the whole breakfast experience. Also, the pricing just doesn't make sense. The kids' pancakes and the adult short stack are the exact same thing, but somehow the adult version costs more. Same size, same pancakes -- just a different section of the menu. Why?? Overall, it's okay if you're nearby and hungry, but between the attitude and the weird pricing, I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

Excellent food, food options, and service. The location is very quaint and reminded us of a cute little cafe. Portion sizes are perfect and the breakfast cocktails (Bloody Mary and Bellini) were excellent. Overall, we loved our experience here and will definitely be back. read more

The Breakfast Club and Grill is outstanding. I've been coming here for over 15yrs and it's always delicious!! The service is great and it's always busy but never too loud! It's the perfect spot to start the day after a night out in Chitown! read more

A fun spot for an unassuming (yet, quite tasty) brunch! The restaurant has a clean, neat aesthetic; the restaurant has a cuban flare to the menu and decor. I ordered the chorizo Benedict and a coffee. It was very good. The space has an outside patio for summertime as well. read more

Came here on a Tuesday morning and it was pretty empty, the food came quick and was yummy. Liked it because you can get a half order of French toast and they also split the sandwich for us. Felt like a local spot where locals met for a coffee or quick breakfast, some people had their laptops open, good atmosphere. read more

The Breakfast Club and Grill - French toast and Chicken Sausage Brioche Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

***CASH ONLY*** I almost did not go in because parking is VERY LIMITED. There's a sign on the door that states parking in back but it only can hold 3 cars. Parking around the restaurant is mostly permit parking. The cornbeef hash was good, better than I expected. I added jalapenos. It just needed a bit of seasoning other than that I was impressed especially since it was homemade. The house potatoes were cooked well again just needed a bit of seasoning. The chicken sausage sandwich I was not expecting the chicken to be cut up in the eggs. No big deal. It was good. I would get it again. I just feel it was missing something, perhaps tomato, hot peppers, or green peppers. That's just me. Service was ok nothing to brag about. He came when needed. The restaurant is definitely good for the locals, especially due to the parking It is small. I could hear the ppl 2 tables away from me conversation and they weren't that loud. Although, the food was good. I wouldn't make an extra trip to come here because of the lack of parking. I came here to eat because I was near by. read more

Homey vibe with many breakfast options - everything we tried was so good (stuffed French toast, omelette and sandwich). The service was good. They also have outdoor seating, makes it perfect for sunny weekend breakfast. read more

This is a cute spot slightly off the beaten path for breakfast. If you know what to order it's a hidden gem. Note: CASH ONLY. Have now been twice, once Mother's Day weekend and once during the week. Both times able to seat immediately though by the time we left it was full. They have a small outdoor section that is dog friendly and shaded. Service was great both times, attentive and not rushed. The food: Greek-town omelet 5/5 - this is the only thing my mom will get and I see why. It's fluffy and light with heavy amounts of toppings, spinach olive tomato and feta. She gets it with a side of tomatoes and is thrilled with the veg count for this meal. Always hot and a large portion. French toast 5/5 this is what keeps me coming back. They sometimes have specials (recently the bourbon peach) and there are several varieties always available. It's made with thick slices of challah and SO FLUFFY it's the stuff of clouds and dreams. They also have the option to do half or full portion which is great. I usually do a half order with a side of some sort and it's the perfect amount. The half order is also the perfect size to share as a table if everyone wants a few bites but has eyes for something else. We devoured before I could get a full picture. The eggs Benedict - 5/5 we had the Mexican Benedict and it was delightful. Spicy but not too hot, the chorizo was flavorful and the avocado was a nice creamy addition. Husband licked the plate clean. They have a variety on the menu to choose from and like the French toast sometimes have a special option as well. Have also tried the chicken and waffles, this was a miss for me. The waffle was solid but the chicken was underwhelming. Probably not the right thing to pick off this menu. I won't hold it against them though because everything else was so great. This is my new favorite breakfast spot but remember- CASH ONLY! read more

Looks like a family enterprise with a homey vibe. The place was full yet, the host and servers make you feel at ease right away. The menu has a plethora of options from different traditions, given the decoration you would think that they ought to be strong in Mexican cuisine but such is not the case. They offer chilaquiles made with the restaurant's sauce, they do not add any meat to the chilaquiles (it usually is chicken) and the come in a banana leaf. I guess the banana leaf is for decoration because they are certainly not cooked on it. My daughter order bagel with lox, the bagel was dry and felt like the bagels you buy at a convenience store in a plastic bag, her Jamaica drink was too watery with lots of ice in the glass. I ordered an Italian chicken sandwich that was supposed to come in focaccia bread but the bread was a brioche bun for hamburgers. When they mentioned that the sandwich had Mozzarella cheese they meant the ultra processed Mozzarella that comes like a layer of plastic and not the Italian type (it was supposed to be an Italian sandwich). In short, the place is cozy, the service is reasonably good but by the food we ordered the ingredients are of the lowest quality. Oh! They didn't have coffee on the day of our visit. read more

This place is small and quaint. Found it on Pinterest doing a quick search of Chicago breakfast spots. The service was good and the people were friendly, however the food, I'll pass. I'm pretty sure that the eggs were the worst I've ever had in my life. I took two bites, and instantly realized that I could not eat them. I mean, how do you mess up scramble eggs. The best part about this restaurant was the Mimosas. I'm pretty sure the bill came to almost $80 for the two of us in all honesty, I could've got an All-star breakfast from Waffle House and been happier. When in Chicago I would not go back. read more

When visiting new cities I love trying new places and this spot was 2 block from our Airbnb. Came here for breakfast and everything went great! When we walked in, it was just so pretty, cute and quaint. This is a place where I can see my girlfriends and I have mimosas and brunch. We were greeted very warmly upon entering and seated right away. Everything we ordered was delicious and our waiter was really helpful answering our questions. Highly recommend if you're in town! Two thumbs up!! read more

The order is fulfilled late. It is very noisy for such a place. The workers walk in circles and talk about their own topics. Repair is good. The wait was more than 28 minus all the allotted time! read more

*Note: CASH ONLY* This restaurant has some really delicious and unique items on their menu. The Irish Benedict, although a little spicy, had an amazing range of flavors and was perfect before a day out in the city. The breakfast potatoes on the side were fantastic as well. The restaurant has a nice, trendy interior and a cute patio with umbrellas if you prefer to sit outside. It gets busy on weekends, especially out on the patio in the summer. I was surprised to find out that this is a cash-only restaurant, which I did not know until the bill came. Luckily, I was carrying cash (which i don't think most young people do these days). There is also an ATM inside. read more

The Breakfast Club never disappoints. The service is great, the staff is super nice, and the food is amazing. It is fresh all the time. They do have outdoor seating and indoor seating. Bathrooms inside. Customer parking in the back (heading south) and going north is free street parking (that is very limited) Highly recommend the stuffed French toast and the French fries. They are accepting cards now, they used to only be cash and they have an ATM. read more

Our service was wonderful. Food was amazing. They do take cc's now!!! My only complaint was the music was way too loud for me! But I do recommend ! read more

I have had breakfast club on my list, so I was excited to try them out. I think this place is a pretty typical breakfast spot. I do think they could use another server, I had a discrepancy with my order and the server really did not want to admit to the mistake, but eventually made it right. This is a cash only business which is annoying and I think the pricing is a little on the high end for breakfast and the offerings. The venue is small, but once you order the food does come out really quick and is good. Probably not a place I would go out of my way to come back to, but I see the appeal for the those that are local. read more

The Breakfast Club and Grill - Regular French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am generally reluctant these days to post too much that's negative about restaurants in the midst of a devastating pandemic. However, I would like to note that this particular restaurant does need to have a little bit of an attitude adjustment in terms of its welcoming environment. The place is indeed very welcoming aesthetically, it just seems like a nice place to plop down and have breakfast, either inside or outside. However, when we inquired as to where we need to check in to sit outside, the host was rather gruff and barked "you need to talk to me, you can't just sit outside." OK, not the end of the world, but it did take a while for us to put our order in, and when our order was finally put in, it took FOREVER to arrive and we were hungry and had a bit of a time crunch. Not much communication from the staff, no real apologies, just waiting and waiting and waiting. Again, I understand that staffing in restaurants is very challenging these days, but I would've appreciated a little bit more communication and a little bit of contrition (I certainly would not begrudge them given the circumstances of the world today). Anyway, the saving grace for this place is that I ordered a smoked salmon platter and it was excellent! Nice fresh locks, a nice bagel., Really good food. Back to the attitude thing, as we were leaving and had to make our way through a small throng of people, that same gruff host kind of grunted at us again instead of thanking us for our patronage. Clearly this place has a lot of potential, I would just like to see them work on those small gestures that can leave a matting impression on diners. read more

Yummy breakfast, great servers, big portions. Waitress kept our coffee topped off. Limited parking in the back, but there is street parking. Small restaurant, so try beating the crowd and get their early. You can do half portions of the French toast, slices are huge. read more

Amazing food, yummy coffee, and tasty Bloody Marys are all one needs for a perfect brunch date. I had the breakfast club scramble with chorizo which was to die for in a skillet with lots of veggies (broccoli, onion, tomato, mushrooms), anyway eggs, and potatoes. The hubs had the Irish Benedict with corn beef hash and home fries which I kept taking bites of because it was so tasty! The place was so cute and packed. Close tables but very comfortable and homey feeling. The service was excellent and fast. They only take cash but they have their own fee less atm just for customers. Definitely glad we finally checked this place out and will definitely be back! PS this place is also available for delivery through uber eats and grub hub! Yes! read more

My girlfriends and I have been going to different brunch places over the summer and this place definitely disappointed us. When you walk in you're not even greeted. It wasn't really that busy and they still took forever to attend to us. As we were sitting there one of the waitresses told the waiter "give the back girl another drink" (she said it in Spanish). There were numbers on the tables outside, so saying that comment was unnecessary. She could've told me, "give table number 1 another drink". Explains why they were so rude to us (we were a diverse group). The food was okay but definitely over priced for the portions that are given. We also were rushed when we ordered and the waitress didn't have the best attitude when we asked questions about the food we wanted to order. We will definitely not ever go back to this place. read more

Was a bit hesitant based on the mixed reviews but our party of 6 girls on a hot muggy August Saturday were all 100% pleased!!! Your entire party needs to be present to put your name in. We got seated outside which was great. Food took a bit longer than normal to come out but everything was really good, hot and fresh! Waters were consistently being refilled. Would definitely come back again! I got the corned beef hash and it was well seasoned with crispy edges. I tried the carnitas benny and it was also very good. My friend's BLT looked amazing and the tator tots were also super crispy! read more

The Bad: -- 15 min for waitress to ask what we'd like (had to say something to get waitress) -- 40 min for food -- sausage undercooked The Good: -- Potatoes, omelette & toast were good -- seated quick Summary: -- The service is abysmally slow, take your business to another local spot like Stax. read more

I was riding past and saw this small cute breakfast place with pink sign that stood out on the corner of Hubbard. I made a mental note in my mind for me to come and check this place out. I got up on Saturday and decide to come and have breakfast with my son. I was happy that it wasn't crowded when we arrived and it was easy to find parking. When we walked inside there was no one up in the front to meet and greet us. We were just standing there wondering if we should have seated ourselves. When an older guy popped up out of the corner from his seat and told us to take the table in the corner. Ok I thought to myself what a bit of an attitude. No Good Morning just straight to the point you can go sit over there in the corner section. Moving along. It took 10 minutes for someone to finally come over to our table. I kept looking around like is hello is someone going to come over and place our orders or bring us some ice cold water. Finally a guy behind the counter saw me looking around and came over with some glasses of water. He was polite and friendly. We placed our orders and was good to eat. The food arrived in a timely manner which was good despite the other situation. I ordered The Breakfast Club Skillet and My Son ordered the Chicken & Waffles. My food was just ok no need to even go into details with it. My sons Chicken & Waffles looked dried out and tired. The coffee was terrible. I didn't even finish it let alone get a refilled. FYI.... Cash Only but they do have a cash station machine right on the side by the register for you to take some cash out. This place is cute with some nice décor. I like the light fixtures in the top of the ceiling that was made out of wine bottles and glass milk bottles. Outside Patio on the side of the building. The food is just not that wonderful to me. The prices are fair. read more

Always great food and service. I especially like the Swedish pancakes and the crisp bacon.

This is a very cute little restaurant with an excellent menu and above average service. I had the California Benedict without the bacon and the eggs were cooked exactly right and the English muffin toasted exactly right. The service was a little slow on refilling coffee and we had to ask for it twice But other than that the staff was friendly and courteous. The only downside was the fact that we had to wait outside for a table and it was raining because they don't have much waiting room inside. Also instead of giving us a buzzer or some way of contacting us outside they have to run out the door and look for you. The one annoying thing is that they only take cash. Yes there's an ATM machine right by the cashier but that's just an extra bothersome step for a customer. Further the sign that they only take cash is not really visible unless you happen to be sitting near it and we didn't even notice that it's cash only until we were well into our breakfast. It's fortunate that we had a credit card or ATM but if you don't it could be embarrassing. Everything considered it's a good choice for breakfast as long as you don't mind waiting a little while to get in and for refills and coffee. read more

This restaurant makes me feel so nice. The food was fantastic I recommend chorizo. Really good service. Coffee hit different in a good way. Butter actually whipped properly. Fluffiest French toast.

This is my absolute favorite place to go after a long night shift! My coworker introduced me to this place a few years back and I'm obsessed. Not only is the food good, but they also serve liquor! Nothing like a breakfast club skillet paired with a pomegranate mimosa sprinkled with a sugar rim. I highly recommend. The place is tiny though AND cash only! Parking can be a bit tricky as well but you can park in the back right behind the restaurant :) P.S. Felix is our favorite server. We come so often that he knows our drink and food order by heart. I call that a win! read more
