Food was awesome, service was prompt and polite. Great ingredients in the food. Thicker bacon, meatier sausage, properly prepared eggs. Lots of options. Looking forward to going again.

All the way from NY, the food was amazing !! I definitely recommend. A little walk from the museum. Our waiter Naomi was super kind and sweet. We will be back. Miss the food!

이게 19불인데 양 진짜 많습니다 여러명이서 가시면 적당히 시켜서 나눠먹어도 남아요 서비스 좋고 가격대비 굿굿

I recently had breakfast at Yolk in the South Loop and tried the scrambled egg combo, which came with hash browns and pancakes. The portion size was generous, and everything tasted great. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly enough to recommend some must-try items from the menu. Yolk definitely has some amazing options that are worth exploring.

I went here with my boyfriend and we LOVED it!! Our waitress was the absolute sweetest, I’d come back just for her vibe (wish I remembered her name I'm sorry). The food was awesome, and the portions were totally worth the price. I got the seasonal Apple Oat French Toast and OMG… the warm apples and thick toast were pure heaven on a plate. I couldn’t even finish it, but I wanted to! Overall, 10/10—we’ll definitely be back

Valeu pela experiência. Comida em abundância que justifica o preço cobrado.
