Amazing!!! My adult child had the sour cream pancakes. Hands down the best I have ever eaten. I had the open face egg white frittata with spinach, mushrooms, feta, and a side of avocado. Huge but so good. Also had fresh orange juice. Next time in town, I know where we are eating.

When I want to be north and get a business casual meeting, this is the place. Been here a few times and it’s good all the time. Other people are on similar vibes. Portions are great.

Love to find a family atmosphere and yet upscale. I love the variety of food available, the staff helped anytime we needed it, and the beautiful place. Large portions! Update: second visit, still beautiful styling and atmosphere and good portions.

Delicious house made food and freshly squeezed juices. Fast and friendly service. I got the chorizo hash (pictured) and my husband got the salmon cake Benedict which I didn't get a picture of but we both loved our food!

Living in the neighborhood, I’ve been wanting to try this diner for a while, and I’m glad I finally did. The mushroom soup that came with the lunch special was absolutely delicious—I honestly could have ordered another bowl! The meal itself was very filling and delicious!

I cannot speak more highly of the team at the Uptown Breakfast House. We have been visiting since they opened, and have gotten to know every single team member. We are always greeted by Marianna the hostess who offers exceptional care and is a shining light. Just like Marianna, the servers are always hardworking, caring, sweet, and make you feel right at home. The service is always amazing, and the food is always so delicious. We are proud to live by and support one of the best diners in Chicago, and probably the best breakfast house of all their locations! ❤️🙏

2025 Edit: it’s official, this is my new regular spot instead of Ann sather! A year later and it is better than ever here! Original: Great new breakfast spot with lots of Mexican themed and vegetarian options. Clean, crisp interior and good service and intelligentsia coffee. The Mexican omelet was spicy and complex. I’ll be back!

Quaint, cozy, and classy all at once. The scrambled eggs are cooked perfectly. The hash browns are savory, the pancakes fluffy, and the sausage maple-y. The drinks have a good kick to them, too! Make sure you go on a long walk after you fill up here!
