A must-do if you're visiting Chicago. I was greeted by friendly people and a warm and jazzy atmosphere. My waitress, Jessica, was nice and knowledgeable of the menu and helped me with my selection. The portions were huge and every bite was delicious. Compliments to chef and thank you Jessica for adding to this wonderful experience. I will be back whenever I pass through Chicago again. My only regret was not being to finish all at once.

Been to so many countries and countless brunches but this one stands out! We were visiting from Canada for the long weekend and found this page though google- 35min wait and got seated at the bar and when we saw a table empty asked if we could be seated there instead. The first waitress declined but the owner (?) Got back to us and made us an exception and promptly got us seated there with probably the best welcome of modern times. Being from Canada, I know a polite person when I see one but man this place is beyond expectations. The place is bustling and BUSY yet the servers and owners have the biggest smile in their faces and are just proud to be a part of the best diner institution there is! Food was great but I’ll be back in a heartbeat to just to sit there and enjoy the vibe! Most definitely my best brunch experience in USA and I’m close to having visited all 50 states :)

Excellent brunch meal was had recently at this location. The portions are extremely large and most items can be shared by 2 guest.The service is what I would consider average at best meaning they don’t voluntarily give refills of coffee without askingThe prices are decent given the quality and quantity of food you are servedI highly recommend the French Toast, House Potatoes and Monte Cristo

But it’s impossible to complain about the food! The sandwiches were delicious ( one pastrami, one corn beef) , followed with an orange faygo float! YUM

Never disappoints! We always visit Eleven City Diner when in Chicago! Whether it’s breakfast (which is served all day) or lunch or dinner you’ll be more than satisfied. We got to the restaurant at 1:30 and had a 20 minute wait. We decided to all get the hot pastrami on seeded rye. I had trouble finishing my sandwich and Cole slaw and pickle! Worth every bite!

A fantastic family diner. 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️all the way from us. We had the Corned Beef pastrami bowl- omg amazing. I also had the Bloody Mary again so so good. Fabulous atmosphere, service, food and lovely and clean everywhere. Highly recommend if in Chicago, you will struggle to find anywhere better for breakfast. A massive thumbs up ?? from us.

This place was amazing! We went 4 times out of a weeks stay in Chicago.Every single thing we got was delicious. Burgers tasty and perfectly seasoned, fruit fresh and sweet, I recommend the challah French toast, the pastrami sandwich, and the macaroni were so good and the portions are huge! Staff were so nice and the owner as well. Cool place for sure, try the in house made rootbeer you won't regret it.

Well worth your wait. Breakfast all day and the food and drinks were amazing. Very kid friendly and accommodating for kids as they have kid's menu and provide high chairs. Their blood Mary was something I wanted to try and their mix was very tasty. I wish I could have had more of it. Their food was delicious and the kids menu came with apple sauce and fries. If you are in the area and want diner food or just want some good breakfast this is the place to go. Deserts were also worth getting, so big and we just split it amongst the table.Our waiter was on top of it as well. Good job to the wait staff there.

Excellent service. We were greeted at the door and seated promptly by whom I believe to be the owner. The shakes were amazing!

I think this was the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. We got both the corned beef and the beef/salami. Amazing. Wouldn't recommend thr latkes but would dine here 10 times over for the sandwiches. Can't say enough.
