Attitudes matter. The food was timely and hot. The grits creamy, buttermilk pancakes and delicious bacon. No complaints. Please add crunchy edges on the pancakes lol.”

“Griddle 24 in Chicago is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves breakfast or brunch. From pancakes to omelets, the menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, all made with fresh ingredients. The portions are huge, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Their signature griddled items, like the stuffed French toast or their famous pancakes, are fan favorites. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly, and the service is usually quick, even during busy hours. It's a great place to fuel up before exploring the city or to just relax and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. One thing to note: it can get crowded, especially on weekends, so you might have to wait a bit. But once you’re seated, the food and vibe make it worth the wait.”
