    Checking out this popular spot in Chi-Town!

    Great breakfast/brunch place in the heart of Downtown Chicago! Menu has lots of items to choose from. Our table ordered the Chorizo Benedict (only on the winter menu) with a side of Cheesy Grits, Grilled Cheese Supreme, 3 Egg Omelet and pancakes. Service was fast, did not wait long. Everything we had was very good. Place was very clean and organized. Highly recommend!

    4 stars for Yolk - West Loop. This is a very convenient location in Chicago - on the bottom floor of the Olgilvie Transportation Center. This is a nice sit down restaurant to get a nice breakfast. All of the employees I encountered were very friendly, including our waitress. The Omelettes are big - generous portions and the meals will surely fill you up. The strawberry orange juice was delicious and very fresh, the mocha was tasty as well. My only gripe is the additional charges for even basic toppings in Omlettes - nothing is included. Overall, I'd recommend if you want a nice fancy sit down breakfast lunch downtown, but it is not cheap.

    Another never again food is beyond bland. With a faint sprinkle of a piece of hair eyelash or something. Regardless foreign hair in my food in unacceptable.

    Great food and large portions and fresh. Nice huge seating. Parking on the street. Big and small parties all good. Wide choices of milk like 2% and oat and soy.

    I went back here in 2023 visiting Chicago for a concert and needed a breakfast place. We came across Yolk, walking distance from our hotel. I am not a big breakfast fan to begin with, thus the random combination. In my opinion, the place is probably overrated. I would rather go to a mom and pops shop in my home town than here. The inside was clean and well decorated.

    Honestly I just thought it was alright. Little pricy for what you get. The best was my girlfriends chilaquiles. The chicken or egg sandwich was alright nothing too over the top, imagine just a slightly higher quality chicken patty with egg and some type of Cane's sauce on top. The pancake was way overcooked and dry, sadly not even the chocolate chips could save it. Wasn't sure what was going on that morning or if there was staffing issues but could definitely tell there was an attitude with a couple of the servers too. The host was kind but felt like I was a disruption vs being welcomed. The restaurant was clean even though busy and liked how we had the option to sit outside

    I used to visit this location often as it was just around the corner from my condo. If it weren't for the convenient location, I probably would not choose to come here often. The menu is expansive and there is a wide variety of options to please everyone in your party. Prices are high, but that is to be expected given its location downtown in a train station. The food itself is fine - nothing particularly show stopping, but good standard breakfast food. I really like the thick cut bacon here. Service here, in my experience, has been largely overwhelming. Sometimes I get a gem of a server, but most of the time I had issues with servers who were rude or inattentive. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, Yolk is fine, but if you're looking for an overall positive experience, look elsewhere.

    This place was so yummy. Our server lady was great. There wasn't too many people. The restrooms were very clean. Coffee was great too!

    If you are lucky, Pepo will be your server - he is the best! Super friendly, very attentive, and so wholesome. The food was great as well.

    When are you reopening? Ur fans are crying!!!?

    We are now reopened!!!

    I see the "reopening date" has been moved to after the end of the year. is this location actually permanently closing?

    We are committed to reopening Yolk West Loop. However, we are not sure when that will happen because of the labor shortage.… 

    Do they have alcohol?

    They do not.

    Is this restaurant located in the Metra building, and can you turn around two patrons between a noon train arrival and an opera across the river at 1:30?

    Hi Laura. Yolk - West Loop is located in Ogilvie Train station and an hour and a half is plenty of time to order and eat. But please make sure to inform your server of your time constraints just to be on the safe side incase we are very busy. Thanks

    Is this Yolk location BYOB?

    Hi. All of our Chicago locations are BYOB. Feel free to bring any alcohol. We have various fresh squeezed OJ for mimosas as well as our award winning Bloody Mary Mix for people to make Bloody Marys.

    How is the parking situation?

    I didn't notice any parking on site or near by. It might be best to take taxi or Uber.

Located near the Merchandise Mart and overlooking the Chicago River, this location has floor to ceiling windows with amazing views in every direction. Considering the layout, I am sure this place is frequented those who work and/or live nearby. There are plenty of table/chair combos; the perfect setup for laptop and tablet work. I stopped through on Saturday morning and there was a number of people already setup with their respective devices. They also have music playing in the background (at a very acceptable volume level) which for me, just added to the vibe. The staff, were friendly and helpful. Add to that, they did an awesome job of managing the line as it never got too long. As for drinks and food, no complaints here. It's consistent with the Blue Bottle level of quality I have come to expect and appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this location.

They have a variety of seating types for those sticking around. Overall, a positive experience!
