“I can see why after over 50 years of 24/7 service this place has received so much attention and recognition”
“Amazing diner located in Lincoln Park.”
Amazing diner located in Lincoln Park. I went there for lunch at 4 PM on a weekday, and it was quite empty. I ordered a skillet and it was prepared quickly in no time. The service was lovely.

I genuinely and honestly would give it 5 stars, but there is a huge secotor of people out there that won't believe me that it was perfect. Everything made to my request, prices were great, and all while being served gracefully. They rock!

“We went here after trying to go to Batter and Berries, but didn't want to wait an hour.”
We went here after trying to go to Batter and Berries, but didn't want to wait an hour. This place was also slammed, but our party of 2 was seated right away. The elderly man who seated us was friendly and outgoing. Our server and others waiting on us were super attentive and responsive. When the food arrived, my date thought her meal came with pancakes. Our server said no, but turned around, grabbed a plate of freshly made pancakes and put them on our table. I can't count the number of times we were asked if everything was Ok. Everything was more than Ok. I can see why after over 50 years of 24/7 service this place has received so much attention and recognition. They are on their A game!

“I heard about this 24hour restaurant in ubereats, but I decided to have a dine-in person.”
I heard about this 24hour restaurant in ubereats, but I decided to have a dine-in person. I was able to seat wherever I felt comfortable. Sheila, my server was welcoming and calm while taking my order. The breakfast food was simply amazing because everything was cooked to perfection. The pancakes with powdered sugar was delicious since I'm not a fan of butter on top of pancakes. Eggs were overhard perfectly and bacon had a a great crisp from every bite. Everything went very well from start to finish. In fact, I even left a note with a generous tip to show my appreciation to them because I know it may or may not be easy to run a 24 hour restaurant 24/7. I will come back once in a while for a nice calm breakfast!

“First time there, open 24hrs and I certainly appreciate that.”
First time there, open 24hrs and I certainly appreciate that. The food was prepared well, wait time was reasonable, staff was attentive and professional. My pictures does the food no justice

“Solid early morning diner with everything you'd expect.”
Solid early morning diner with everything you'd expect. Menu is very large and covers everything from breakfast to dinner. We went for an early 5am breakfast and really enjoyed both of our picks. The corn beef hash was well seasoned and generously portioned and the French toast had a bit of turmeric added to give it a nice golden color. Definitely worth your time off you're up early or stayed up too late.

“Saw this place on the road and had to come back when we got hungry.”
Saw this place on the road and had to come back when we got hungry. The vibes are immaculate, the interior is lit with gold colored lighting and is very cozy. The food was pretty good, and ordering tea got us a teapot with water plus lemon slices and honey. I had the French connection, French toast plus scrambled eggs, and my sister had the 2222 breakfast. The bacon and syrup were very high quality, though the eggs could have used more salt. We also got a cup of French onion soup, which tasted very bell pepper-y (unique!) The staff was kind and the hostess was super friendly as we paid our check. My sister was super impressed and wants to come back next time we're in the city!

“I have been wanting to try this place for a long time.”
I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I love a good diner and I have to say.. this place did NOT disappoint!! The friendly waitress, the variety of food options and of course the soup! A cup of soup that comes with the sandwich. I only wish I had room for dessert. Perhaps next time I come, I’ll get a slice of carrot cake! I give this place 5⭐️ Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5⭐️ #JerryThePigeon on Instagram

“Always feel welcomed, we've been here almost every weekend during the summer for the last 5 years...”
Always feel welcomed, we've been here almost every weekend during the summer for the last 5 years and, yes, dog friendly, they love our pups. Staff is always making you feel like family, attentive, fast, on point, place is clean, pups always get a treat of bacon from the owners, just because. They are always smiling and everything in their menu is delicious good. Thank you everyone. I highly recommend this place, I mean, even today one of the owners came by our table and gave us a Thank You Cookie per customer. 😀

“24 hour diner with one of the largest menus I've seen, in a very welcoming environment.”
24 hour diner with one of the largest menus I've seen, in a very welcoming environment. We came here for brunch on a Sunday, and it was pretty busy, but we got a table outside right away. Ordered a corona which came with a frosted glass which was unexpected, had jumbo wrap with chicken, made it deluxe which came with Chicken Soup and fries, was a ton of food. (Pic attached) We were in an out in 40 minutes which was great. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and it's a great mix of the hangover crowd, church crowd, and families. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Friendliness: 5/5
