I was greeted quickly and warmly when I walked in. I was seated immediately and my server came over with water. I received my food very quickly. The menu is pretty extensive and there is a nice variety of both breakfast and lunch foods to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. I got a combo which came with pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon. Everything was really good! Pricing is fair and the portions are quite large, so I think it is a good value. I will be back to Chicago Waffles for sure.

It's always a pleasure to eat here as the food is served hot and nicely presented. Pro Tip: the breakfast tacos, see pic. Just amazing! And with spicy syrup? What a great twist!

I've eaten here at least 10 times over the years & it's always been nothing but fantastic. I've reviewed it previously but this one is from March '26. Give it is chance, I just don't see how it would disappoint. Thank you, Patrick

I stopped in with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon around 1:00pm. Chicago Waffles wasn't my…read morepreferred destination, but I went along with it because one of my friends enjoys the south loop location. We walked in and were greeted promptly by the host. She seated us in a quiet spot in the corner near the restrooms. Our waiter was attentive and funny. For me, he was the best part of the entire experience. I don't care much for breakfast food, so I had the American burger. I prefer my burgers well done but ordered it medium well because I didn't want the cooks to burn the patty. The burger was very greasy, and not very good. It also had a slight off-putting smell that made me worry about becoming ill. (Thankfully that didn't happen) It tasted okay, but I can't say that it was enjoyable. It was edible, which isn't saying much. The waffle fries were nothing spectacular either. I was disappointed with my food. I also had the mango smoothie, which was decent. My sister had the corned beef hash, eggs, toast, and potatoes. She really liked her food, especially the corned beef. My friend Shannon had the French toast flight, but she didn't eat much of it because she said it was too sweet. Our other friend had the eggs, bacon, and potatoes, which he enjoyed. I wouldn't visit Chicago Waffles again, but everyone else in my party said they would so take that for what it's worth. The restaurant was busy, but the staff did a great job running the show. The space is bright and cozy. We didn't feel rushed even though the restaurant was bustling. I'm giving it 3 stars since two of my friends enjoyed their food.

Less than a mile away is PQM and Breakfast Club in opposite directions. I brought my wife and young daughter there. We were placed at the heart of the restaurant. I earnestly feel that the staff was playing a game of who can bump the chair the most. If it were one, two, or even five times I would chalk it up to servers hustling to get people their food. But it didn't stop at 5. After we hit 10 times that a server had run into my chair, I literally had to move furniture behind it. And this was after I had put my backpack on the back of a chair so there was no way that it was them. Simply not seeing me. I will never again go back to this location of waffles so long as I live. Quite frankly, do yourself the service joining me.

I called the number provided here on the Yelp webpage for this restaurant. I had a phone conversation with what I now believe was an AI representative that told me that I had a reservation for a party of 6 for this coming Sunday. I felt like the phone call was a bit off, because AI can definitely give an uncanny valley feeling. Also, I knew from past experience with this restaurant that they didn't use to take reservations. I went to the restaurant's website to check it out and lo-and-behold the number is different! I called the restaurant's real number and asked about the reservation. The employee was very polite and kind and explained that they don't make reservations (first come, first serve). Thank you again to that kind employee, because that had to be a confusing call. Sorry about wasting your staffs' time with this by the way, Batter & Berries! I cannot imagine if I had brought my party of 6 to a very busy brunch spot expecting to get in right away because I thought I had booked a reservation, so I alerted the business on the call, and then I went to alert Yelp. Surely this is just a small mistake, and Yelp can get this broken AI reservation system taken down for this particular restaurant so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Surely this is not a big deal! Lol. Of course it was. I spent half-an-hour looking for ways that I could inform Yelp via customer chat, email, or even call. Nope! Yelp is now offering services to supposedly book tables for potential diners, but they still only have customer service for the businesses. I tried the one customer service number that Yelp does have (877-767-9357). I tried repeatedly to go through its AI menu. However, whenever I would answer that I was a customer and not a business, it would end the call. When I stated that I was a business just so that I could be directed to a human being, I was told by a very helpful representative that Yelp doesn't have human representatives that help non-advertising costumers or businesses. TL;DR Do not use the reservation feature on Yelp's website. They do not care if it is accurate, and there is no way to even inform Yelp of their mistake. And definitely no customer service or support for you as the person that used their broken system to make a fake reservation. But Batter & Berries itself? AWESOME!!! That 5 stars is for them. Negative 5,000 stars to Yelp for using a broken AI reservation system and having no support for when it inevitably creates problems for diners and the restaurants they want to enjoy. Edited to add: I just got done trying to fill out a correction on the phone number that Yelp has listed on this webpage for Batter & Berries as it is not correct. When I went to fill out the correction form Yelp auto-fills the information they have currently for the business listing. Would you all believe that they had the correct number for the business in the form already? So they know the correct number, but are putting their AI reservation number up instead. Why would they do that? I do not know, but I'd guess it's not for any selfless reasons. This will be the last time I use Yelp for anything, and I am looking into ways to report them for fraudulent advertisement at this point. I know it's probably silly, but changing the number to your broken AI system when you know the business' real number is a bit too much. The actual restaurant number at this location is (773) 248-7710 if anyone needs to get in touch with the real restaurant.

Wow! Wowie! I was…read morelooking for a breakfast place and this place did not disappoint. We stumbled onto this amazing breakfast place and had to try everything! We sat in a cozy table for 2 and the art was a plenty. We had the steak Fajita omelet, the French toast flight (paying a little extra to try ALL the flavors), side of catfish, and the seafood omelet. The Steak Fajitas Omelet was so flavorful. The meat was tender. The eggs were so cheesy. The hash browns were crispy and aplenty. The Seafood omelet was the rockstar that stole the show. There were 3 well sized shrimps sitting on a bed of lump crab meat on top of a fluffy mound of egg white omelet in a savory sauce that you almost want to lick the plate clean. We did order a side of catfish! Just because! Nicely fried with a seasoned breading with a side of hot sauce. To end our meal- we chose to do the super flight of French Toast- blueberry, strawberry, caramel, lemon and the butter cookie (seasonal flavor). I managed to take a bite of each one and I can see why this place is known for its French Toast. The drip coffee was the kind that you just couldn't stop with 1 cup. Our Server- Candace was so delightful as she described the menu and help us choose our meal. We clearly need to come back and try the other delicious food offerings. She made our experience here that much more memorable! She truly cares about her customers and it shows. We cannot wait to come back and support this family owned business.

I know they top the sundaes with a lot of extra things, but the combination is exquisite. Service is relatively quick, and coming from someone who used to work at an ice cream place pretty typical. The ambience is fairly casual not quite a date spot but could be! You should come with more than one person because the waffle sundaes actually feed one to two people. I got the birthday cake sundae and the waffle was crispy and hot, the ice cream was creamy and cool, but I definitely could not eat one full one myself! I wouldn't go out of your way to just get this, but I would go get it if you are in the area.

I asked her a quick question but she noticeably had AirPods in and didn't respond. I was just looking for the bathroom but I found it myself. It was clean and well stocked. Our waitress was nice. Attentive and present. We ordered the 2+2+2+2 and a Moons over Miami sandwich. The food took less than 10 minutes to arrive and everything was very hot. My mom and I both enjoyed our breakfast. I personally really enjoyed the French toast. I thought the portions were filling. At the end we were asked if we'd be paying by cash or card. A ticket was never presented but we were just verbally told an amount. I thought that was kind of odd. We chose cash because you get a discount. We asked again what the total was and she again just verbally told us and then took the cash. We had exact change but I still think it was weird to not have a visual. Overall, this was a great meal and an overall good experience. I'd add this to your list of breakfast spots to try in the area.
