FYI: if you seat outside the unexpected may happen… we all love dogs, unfortunately the distance between tables is not much and half way through breakfast this Bernese mountain dog almost took away my joy

Tweet — top-tier american in Uptown. Order the Pumpkin Pancakes. Casual, established, and unapologetic about it, and cash only. Joy Dunna: "Brunch was delicious and the drinks were some of the best I’ve ever had" [$$]

💵Cash only — hit the ATM first, worth it.

Tweet is simply amazing. French toast is my favorite food on the planet but nobody makes it like they do in NOLA, until Tweet! Absolutely extraordinary. Corned beef hash amazing. Next time I will try the chilaquiles. Rex was delightful, knowledgeable, kind and just the best! He is lovely and caring and brought me cake for my birthday breakfast with my brothers! Seth makes a killer Bloody Mary and is also delightful! The whole place oozes kindness and hospitality!

June 2026 Update. Tweet was decked out for Pride Sunday. We had a great wait person named Paige. Also got to chat with Braulio and Rex. Rex is celebrating 21 years at Tweet. Love their Bloody Mary's. Husband had the country Benedict and I had the Dirty Man burrito. The food and service is amazing. From cocktails to chocolate cake. Michelle is a great hostess. She is very loyal to her employees.

This is my absolute favorite brunch spot, not just in Chicago but anywhere. The food is consistently excellent, with every visit delivering the same great quality and flavor. It's the kind of place you can always count on for an amazing meal. The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel welcoming. The food comes out quickly without sacrificing quality, and the great music adds to the fun, upbeat atmosphere. Between the delicious food, outstanding service, and lively ambiance, this is a place I happily return to again and again.

Amazing food, drinks and service. We were greeted with a sweet treat coffee cake upon entering, with a choice of vegan, gluten free or classic cake. YUMMY and so considerate. The music is loud but not too loud to have a conversation, with a great mix of pop and classic oldies/hits from 80-90’s. Very queer friendly. Outdoor patio. Lively inside, fun decor and art work. The service is exceptional—all the staff are efficient, patient and friendly. We had the spicy and classic Bloody Mary’s with a beer chaser; delish. The food portions are very generous. We had the asparagus omelette and the chilaquiles. Lots of flavor. Nice side choices (we had the fruit and salad). My second time here as a visitor from out of town. Will be back again!

We had, as always, a great experience at Tweet! The menu selection is so large, servers are funny and friendly, and everything just tastes incredible. The decor inside is also very charming, lots of old pictures and nice art and such. We tried the Crab Cakes Benedict (very good), the French toast (made with ciabatta, very nice), the Portland Omelette, and the Chilaquiles. All were mouth-wateringly good and would recommend any or all.

Everything I have tried so far is excellent along with the awesome service and atmosphere. The free coffee cake is to die for. They are usually very crowded during weekends but absolutely worth the wait.

Chicago classic and the service is top tier. We’ve gotten lucky getting Teddy a few times in a row and he’s got a way of making your entire week
