Sunny Side Up Breakfast & Lunch

I came here for brunch alone, and I initially had my pup in my car since I was unsure if the outdoor area was open or closed since it was a colder morning with flurries. I sat at the bar, and my server told me I could bring my pup inside since he was my service dog. I did not bring his service dog vest with me since it was a last-minute trip to get a brunch from the dog park. But I was glad bringing him without his vest was okay, so I picked him up and ordered food. I ordered steak and eggs with a side of sausages for my dog. The food was hearty and a traditional brunch option, especially from a restaurant like this place. My dog enjoyed his side of sausages as well. The server was super nice, and my orders were immediately delivered. The vibe of this place was welcoming and homely. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a place to eat brunch while in Chicago proper. The street parking might be busy or tight, but parking a couple of blocks down is not a problem, and this place is worth the visit.

Cozy place with decent breakfast. Conveniently located near majority of the shopping and hotels of Downtown Chicago. Staff was very friendly and helpful with all things Chicago. Breakfast items were all great and portion sizes are quite large. You can definitely split amongst a party. Cinnamon roll pancakes were not overly sweet, but instead had a good dose of cinnamon. Easy to split between two people. Worth a visit while your in town.

If you’re going anywhere else for breakfast in the area, you’re wasting your money! Don’t let the quaintness of this little spot fool you. It looks like an old school Chicago diner but it’s truly packed with timeless elements. It’s hard to say which is better between the food and the service. From the time you walk in, you’re treated like regulars and everyone from the servers to the owner is friendly to you. It might take you a minute to choose just one item from their expansive breakfast and lunch menu, but if the food we had today is any indication of the rest of the menu, I doubt there’s a dish you can go wrong with. I’m not even a big breakfast person, but both my partner and I cleared our massive plates. There’s indoor and outdoor dining, perfect for whatever your mood is and even if there is a wait, they turn around tables quick! Our food came out in minutes! The service really is top tier and the best we’ve had in the city. The best part for us though was that they’re dog friendly and my picky pup couldn’t get enough of her scraps. If you’re looking for a fancy ambiance that sacrifices tastes and portions, this place isn’t for you. This is a Chicago diner through and through. They know their speciality and they have hit their mark! We look forward to being regulars at this fun spot that truly started our day off great.
