verbatim, from Google
“Excellent service, the food was amazing. Perfect for a carb load post Chicago marathon. The Elvis waffle was delicious.”
“Really really good diner food!! Our go-to at least for one meal every time we visit Chicago. Hickory Joe omelette is so delicious and loaded. Big portions. Decent coffee. Clean. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere.”
“Great way to end the weekend with my sisters. I had the chicken chilli with onions, cheese, avocado and side chips. My siblings had the eggs Benedict and grits with veggie sausage. They were quick and polite. Thank you Windy City Cafe.”
“Me encantó la comida de este lugar, fue el primer lugar al que fui en mi viaje⭐️”
“Very good food, excellent service, great atmosphere. My son loved the Cinnamon Roll French Toast. My daughter enjoyed the Caesar Wrap.”
“Best breakfast selection in the area. Lots of seating but usually a wait. South of the border skillet is an excellent option and enough to fees 2 people. Staff very friendly and quick. Would be 5 stars but $4 for a cup of regular coffee is ridiculous.”
“Cute lil place the BLT was alright just that the bread a bit burnt here and there and the biscuits and gravy was a total miss like it was missing something, it wasn’t bad but it’s not something I would have again”
“Sad to see that they appear to be closed as of 2/14. They were a really great spot :(”
