Frances' Deli And Brunchery

Just found out this restaurant started in 1938! You walk in and are greeted with upbeat music and staff. The chef freaking home-makes the sausage which is packed with flavor and herbs. Get a side of gravy to honestly go with anything - I would say it is slightly on the sweeter side. Once you order your dish comes freaky fast. 😀

Very vibrant and aesthetic. Went with friends for birthday brunch. Food was really good and the mimosa tower was a good deal 🥂 Not really a lot of room to walk around though, tables are really close to one another so it makes it hard when walking out, especially if you have a walker or are in wheelchair….

This is a sensational brunch spot! We came for a late Sunday brunch. The Wait Staff are patient, kind and full of character. We even got to meet the owner! The food was absolutely delicious. We hardly waited to be seated and for our drinks + food. Sit outside if you can and always ask for the Daily Specials. You won’t regret it!

I will definitely be back! We came to this brunch place for the first time for my friends’ birthday. The wait was not too long to be seated considering no reservations. The staff was friendly and our waitress Jamie was AWESOME. She gave recommendations on food choice when we asked and was overall great. The food was AMAZING. we had an array of foods choices from purple grits, jerk Alfredo omelet, veggie omelet and chicken and waffles. The purple grits my dish was so delicious and flavorful. We all had the mimosa flight which i really liked the green apple one. The atmosphere was nice a little noise but that’s usually how brunch places are so not a bother. I will be back!!!

One of the best brunch spots I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned deliciously!! The mimosa flight was on point. I got the Benedict flight which did not disappoint!! My friends got biscuits and gravy, purple grits, and French toast flight. We all sampled each others plates and EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations. We all agreed that the purple grits deserved the #1 spot but everything else was just as good. If you’re in Chicago def hit this spot up!! In addition to the food, the service was impeccable!! Our server was Jamie and she was an absolute delight! She was very patient and helpful! PHENOMENAL!!!

Recommend: this is a solid place for breakfast. Will be coming here again for sure. I tried it 5 years ago and whatever was done whether it is the new owner/chef did a great job and a huge improvement! It can get loud in the space and a bit warm inside with the windows open, but the food and service is great. The mega flight of French toast tasted really good as well as the homestyle skillet as well. The mimosa flights also looked great, I left that for next time to try.
