“Hands down the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever tasted.”

Hands down the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever tasted! They were served fresh and warm, and they were much bigger than I expected. I also tried the breakfast sandwich and really liked it. It was delicious. The restaurant has a great variety of breakfast options to choose from, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Our server was amazing, super attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back whenever I’m in the area!

“Ann Sather Restaurant (Belmont location) did not disappoint.”

Ann Sather Restaurant (Belmont location) did not disappoint! Apparently, I have been visiting Chicago for years and have not discovered this gem until recently. The waitstaff were very attentive. The menu was filled with interesting and tempting breakfast and lunch options. Most of all - the food was AMAZING! I have French Toast and it was some of the best I have eaten. My friend had the Swedish special and raved about it, as well. I am so glad I found this treasure of a breakfast/brunch/ lunch spot!

“Our group of 5 visited for the first time.”

Our group of 5 visited for the first time. Restaurant was clean and was decorated for the holidays. All of the food was hot and fresh. We ordered bacon, cinnamon rolls, yogurt and granola, biscuits with honey, a sausage wrap, and an omelet. Service was prompt and courteous. Restroom was well-maintained. Suitable for all ages, and reasonable price point. Small inside, so most ideal for groups of 4 or less. And another shout-out for the delicious cinnamon rolls!

“I would describe the atmosphere as old chicsgo meets swedish teadtional.”

I would describe the atmosphere as old chicsgo meets swedish teadtional. Easy on the eyes but still a history trip in decor. Everyone was kind, patient, and felt good. Super great breakfast place 👌🏼 😋 the Swedish coffee was delicious. I personally really like the bacon cheddar potato pancakes with a side of meatballs. The price was definitely worth it, expect about $25 per person if you get drink and all that. Love this old school place. They dont make em like this anymore!

“In Chicago for the Sarah Millican show at the Auditorium.”

In Chicago for the Sarah Millican show at the Auditorium. Stopped on our way home. Waited a bit(15 min) for a table, but it was definitely worth it. Be warned, tho, parking is an adventure on a Sunday morning. Drove around the block twice, thought we were in a "Free" parking spot(which has now cost $50 😞).

“Incredible food and super-fast service in a typical diner atmosphere.”

Incredible food and super-fast service in a typical diner atmosphere. Despite being packed at 11 AM on Columbus Day, food came out lightning fast. Cinnamon rolls are out-of-this-world delicious, live up to the hype and couldn't possibly be any better! Hot biscuits with honey and strawberry-orange-banana juice are on point as well. French Toast Fantasy and Southern Decadence are particularly outstanding, sausage and gravy are perfectly savory and salty.

“One of my favorite places on earth.”

One of my favorite places on earth. Loved the old Belmont location, and this one is just as wonderful. Amazing food, signature service, a Chicago institution. The greats buns ever baked. Love the Swedish Sampler.

“Super busy and popular, you can't go wrong with getting their cinnamon rolls either as a side or separately.”

Super busy and popular, you can't go wrong with getting their cinnamon rolls either as a side or separately. It's pretty loud inside, so it might be a little off putting, but it's easier to ignore once the food arrives. The egg options are plentiful. I highly recommend getting the cinnamon rolls as one of the sides of you want to get the most food per each dollar or if you're craving a sweet treat.
