We visited this place on Father’s Day weekend. It’s so crowded, but it’s so worth it. Our server was very welcoming and very knowledgeable of what they serve. I ordered traditional egg Benedict and coffee, which is very fulfilling. Everything was made fresh. Parking was across the street and was easy to find, maybe because we came pretty early, which was around 9 am. Breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m., and then lunch will be served afterward.

Wonderful experience dining at this historic restaurant. Staff is so warm and friendly, food is delicious and coffee is amazing. Very popular so crowded during breakfast and brunch hours. Unfortunately they don’t take reservations but it’s definitely worth the wait. Also love their complimentary donut hole and fruit. If you’re looking for a place to grab amazing breakfast, look no further.

Came here Sunday morning and there was a line out the door, but the service moves quick so we were seated after 10min. I don’t really understand the high ratings. This place is pretty much an overpriced Denny’s. Nice that it’s been around for 100 years, but there are better breakfast places in the city that are less expensive.

This place is excellent. This waitress was the best I have ever had. She makes you feel like family! I will definitely come back when I am in Chicago again!! Even though it is packed seating, they made me feel as if it was a hometown expectancies. Virginia is her name!!

Wonderful experience and very affable atmosphere. We had coffee cake that was more fluffy & light than decadent. I ordered the malted pecan & bacon waffle. It was so savory that syrup was unnecessary. My wife loved her cottage cheese omelet with ground beef! I had also ordered a delicious side of sausage. We were greeted with orange slices & fresh donut holes. Our first time and we’ll most definitely be back!!!

Most people go here for the food, I am sure! However, the experience itself is just fun! They celebrated their 100th anniversary this year! This place is a mainstay in Chicago! It has this quaint, family atmosphere in the middle of a metropolis! The servers were great and tried to stay on top of everything even though it was Sunday morning rush! The coffee was fresh, and the bakery items were delicious! Portions are very generous!! Go if you are ever in The Windy City!

A little pricey but MASSIVE portions of food! Complimentary orange slice and doughnut hole when you first sit down as a little appetizer. The omelette was fluffy and the scalloped potatoes so good and comes with incredible toast (you can pick your bread i got cinnamon raisin)

Classic diner style breakfast spot with quick and friendly service. They start you with a complimentary doughnut hole and orange slice. Doughnut hole was delicious and I probably should’ve ordered more. I got the chicken and waffles which was great. The waffle was outstanding and the chicken wings were decent, but added a nice salty touch to the waffle. Others in my group enjoyed their French toast, waffles and pancakes. I recommend this spot everyday of the week.

Maybe the food was good back in the day, but the omelette and waffles were very bland. Surprisingly the Cesar salad was very good, although they charge me incorrectly for that and they had to redo the bill.

Came to Chicago for the weekend with some friends and were looking for a great breakfast spot, and Lou Mitchell’s did not disappoint! I got the Belgium Waffle with fruit and it was very good.
