My husband and I have been in Chicago for four days and out of every restaurant we’ve been to, this is the best one. With the best food and the best service. Thank you Erica for being so helpful, pleasant & sweet. We appreciate you.😁 From The Edwards

Delicious!!! Loved my waffles, I got the red velvet bliss with their strawberry orange juice. Keep in mind there’s a 3% credit card fee. We weren’t rushed out. Very kind and swift service. I would go again!

New to this restaurant, on a rainy Wednesday morning looking for brunch. I found waffle heaven! Light, fluffy waffles with so many choices to accompany them. I added chocolate chips; combined with the best whipped cream ever, it was perfect. My daughter tried the avo toast and loved it. Hubby said his soft scrambled eggs were the best he’d had. Great atmosphere, great service, and as the photo shows, Erika has some mad skills with the hot mocha. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for friendly service, and great food served with smiles.

Chicago Waffles was a great choice for brunch. When I visited, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, with only a few patrons dining at the time. It made for a comfortable and enjoyable breakfast experience where we could take our time and enjoy the meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Their positive attitude made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what you hope for from a great brunch spot. Between the excellent service, inviting atmosphere, and tasty food, Chicago Waffles is definitely a place I would recommend and happily visit again.

Absolutely incredible food served in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of breakfast options, from sweet to savory, making it easy for everyone to find something they will enjoy. Everything we ordered was delicious, satisfying, and clearly prepared with care. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. There is plenty of seating available, including outdoor tables, which is a great feature since this place is clearly very popular. If you are looking for a tasty and filling breakfast or brunch in the West Loop, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
