Wake ‘n Bacon

“Super cute place.”

Super cute place! Love the atmosphere and the staff was really polite. Food was great and it was nice to try new things and not the same menu as every place around. Thickest bacon I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back to try more!

“Not only is the atmosphere gorgeous..”

Not only is the atmosphere gorgeous... THEY HAVE THE BEST BACON EVER. I loved every single flavor omg. Also, the Turtle Waffle??? SO GOOD. holy shit it was the best breakfast I've ever had. I came to Chicago for the Pride Parade and had a blast, but honestly, the breakfast was more memorable to me. YUM. Can y'all ship your bacon to Missouri, please? lol

“Really cute place with really good brunch food.”

Really cute place with really good brunch food. The entrance is the same as the main building entrance, not the what seems like doors under it's name. While there is a physical menu you can scan a QR code to order and pay OR you can go order at the register at the front.

“Visiting on a work trip.”

Visiting on a work trip. This place was very good & got us in quickly. Their brunch items were delicious. I recommend the purple haze coffee with CBD added. The CBD helped my back a lot! They have cool decor and their outside seating is actually swings! How neat is that?!

“This place is great!”

This place is great!! Will, the chef & owner is awesome!! His recommendation was the Adobo Philly Dip, Turtle Waffle & the Bacon Flight (which he makes HIMSELF, cures himself), all his recommendations were on POINT! Delicious all three!! I live in the burbs & would def go back here & recommend it to my friends. The place is clean, suuuper cute, cozy, easy to order. My friend forgot her Hydroflask & as we left in the RAIN Will ran out calling us out for the Hydro left behind. That was the nicest thing, going out of your way of others.

“I recently stopped by Wake n Bacon and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience.”

I recently stopped by Wake n Bacon and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The decor immediately sets a welcoming tone with its stylish and contemporary design, and the vibe of the place is truly uplifting—perfect for a casual outing. One of the standout features is the innovative menu system. Instead of a traditional paper menu, they use a QR code for ordering and payment, which adds a modern twist to the dining experience. It’s efficient and minimizes wait times, making the visit feel seamless. Another noteworthy aspect is the attention to cleanliness. All four bathrooms in the establishment were spotlessly clean, which is a testament to the staff's dedication to maintaining a high standard of hygiene. When it comes to the food, I found some dishes to be hits while others were a bit of a miss. The garlic rice was absolutely delicious and complemented the meal perfectly, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. However, the tocino didn’t quite meet expectations—it was just okay. That being said, personal taste plays a role, and I’m admittedly a bit biased. Lastly, the staff deserves a special mention. Their friendly and attentive service made the experience even more enjoyable, and it’s clear that good company is a part of the restaurant’s charm. Overall, Wake n Bacon offers a great mix of modern technology, a vibrant atmosphere, and a friendly environment. It’s a spot worth trying out, especially if you’re looking for a place that takes both aesthetics and service seriously.

“This place is soooo cute, cute vibes, food is over all good.”

This place is soooo cute, cute vibes, food is over all good. Only thing I didn’t like was that the chicken options are dark meat only. Cute Photo Booth mirror is perfect ✨ Guava Me Passion is good, but the liquid sunshine was better !

“First off, this place is gorgeous.”

First off, this place is gorgeous. Second, the food is plentiful and delicious as well! The French toast, crepes, and bubble waffles are all amazing. Their bacon is thick-cut and very flavorful. Loved being able to also take some pictures with their photo booth inside! Definitely make a reservation as it can get busy fast and limited seating!

“I love this place.”

I love this place! My friend and I enjoyed the food! this place has such a nice feel to it as well. We ordered the wake 'n bacon burger, berry bliss crepes, chicken and waffles and the purple haze coffee. I love this coffee and also looks very cool. We also made a reservation before hand, so we got seated quickly.
