Eleven City Diner
Deplorable Rob · 503 Google reviewsEleven City Diner — a South Loop american mainstay. Buzzy, energetic room where the crowd adds to it. The kitchen starts with good ingredients and it shows. Akina Dunson: "The potatoes on the side were perfectly seasoned" [$$]

“Van buiten ziet het er niet zo leuk uit….. maar binnen…. Zo leuk! Wat een verrassing! Vele keuze qua eten, enorm lekker en van alles te combineren. Bediening was top! Dikke aanrader!”
“We had a blast at Eleven City Diner. Our server was great! 👍 She was attentive, friendly, and helped guide us through the massive menu options. Her suggestions were spot on. Everything we ordered was delicious. The portions were large, allowing us to bring back leftovers. I would recommend the potato lakes, corned beef sandwich, Reubin sandwich, Green River float, house made root beer, and Chicago style cheesecake. We enjoyed it all! You should check out this unique spot.”
“Eleven City Diner is a gem and I hope they are open forever so I can continue going there for the rest of my life. The food is seasoned to perfection, the presentation of their milkshakes and Bloody Mary are movie-perfect. All of their staff is amazing! Among my favorite things from the menu are the mac and cheese, the Zenith, and a Bloody Mary. (The only thing I would change is how loud the music sometimes is 🤭)”

“Eleven city diner was amazing! Upon walking in you gained the nostalgic feeling of being in an old school diner but in the heart of the city. The food was delicious. I had the scrambled eggs which were light, fluffy and well seasoned. The potatoes were also really well cooked well seasoned and crispy. However, the star of the show was indeed their French toast, which with some of the best that I personally have had.”
“Huge selection of food. I had the Ruben Reuben sandwich it was one of the best Rubens I have ever had. Lovely local beers on draft, great beef tallow fries and staff really friendly and helpful. Really cool diner and great booth seating.”
