The crispy pancakes—fluffy inside, with a magical touch of vanilla powdered sugar lightly sprinkled on top and served with warm maple syrup—were pure perfection

The Mango Sunrise was sweet but delicious, a nice cool drink for this hot summer. Cool vibes. Waffles delicious. Not overly sweet. I do reccomend if you get the Dubai Chocolate Waffles, make sure you have someone to share them with! Our server, Maura. J, was very patient and kind. 10/10 would reccomend!

Good experience. Prompt and courteous staff and service. A good selection. The make your own Omelet, can be pricey per added ingredient. And you only get 1 slice of toast. The salted potatoes were good. Music is a bit loud for general conversation.

If you love breakfast/brunch foods, you MUST try this place in Chicago! SOOO delicious! Friendly staff and a fun atmosphere in close distance to parts of Chicago you’d visit as a tourist. Highly recommend!

Came here with my husband and got their gluten free waffles with cinnamon apples on top and it was delicious. Also ordered a mocha and that was yummy as well. Would definitely recommend even if you have a gluten sensitivity!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I had the skirt steak and eggs at Waffles and it was incredible! Victor cooked it to perfection and plated it with the Midas touch — it looked almost too good to eat. My server, Connie, recommended this meal, and she was absolutely spot on. Delicious, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented — I’ll definitely be coming back! 🫶🏼

This casual diner has delicious and quality food and creative combinations. We ordered 5 different dishes trying sweet and savory waffles. All were really good. This is all we had left. Definitely family friendly as the 9 year old enjoyed everything on the table - bacon, chicken sausage, different waffles, house potatoes, fried chicken and more.
