11/10 meal. The lemon butter sauce really brought the salmon dish together, and the hot sauce made the chicken n waffles one of a kind. Will definitely be coming back to get the same thing!

At this Lincoln Park café, guests can indulge their sweet tooth on a variety of decadent creations, such as caramel French toast topped with candied walnuts, caramel sauce and maple butter. Read more

Wow!!! I had no expectations going here for the 1st time and they crushed it. Deconstructed omelet is genius and the french toast is out of this world good. Already planning a return trip.

All I can say is "OH MY GOODNESS" top 5 ... scratch that Top 3 breakfast places I've ever been to!!!! I had lamb for breakfast/Brunch and I have no regrets... I'll back to Chicago just for that!!

all the French toast is fantastic, the maple butter is delicious, and the crab benedict is one of the best I've had-the crab cakes had so much crab and the perfect amount of breading!

The front tables can be drafty in the winter but they're perfect in the summer. Get there early if you don't want to wait because this place gets busier every week. Come prepared for riddles.

Worth the wait in line. The Cluck-N-Gaufre (chicken and waffles) is amazing. Nutmeg hot sauce, fried chicken, and sweet potato waffle is a unique take on the classic.

The crab and spinach benedict special is made with real crab and the flavor is savory. I tried some of my friend's lobster omelet (I'm usually not a fan of lobster), and it was delicious.

Best brunch place ever! Their specials are always so good! I live their benedicts and sweet potato waffles! Just remember to bring your own shampaigne and they will prepare a mimosa for you!

Enjoy this fun place for Breakfast or Brunch. Good food, great service and easy location. It will get crowded being popular, but why not sip coffee as you wait for your table.

OUTSTANDING!!! French Toast Superflight was to die for. The cheese encrusted hash browns-simply amazing. The Spinach Omelet was so fresh, it's like the eggs were just laid & the veggies just picked.
Deanna JohnsonJuly 25, 2017
Based on suggestions, I tried the Super Flight and Chicken and Waffles. Both were good to me. Super Flight was definitely the best out of the two. Staff attitude can be better though.

The best darn Flavored French Toast I've ever tasted.... And oh the Lobster Eggs Benedict was the BOMB!!!! One thing bad though... The people talk hella loud! Like seriously flippin' LOUD!!!
Asia ThurstonMarch 24, 2017
This is called the super flight, there are 5 different flavors: blueberry, strawberry, caramel, lemon, and mango. The last one is interchanged based on the seasons.

This place is awesome the lobster crab cakes and French toast flight is really great and the coffee was always topped off before we had to ask. Try the community table

The French toast flight and the chicken and waffles are a must. The shrimp omelette was really good. Everything was flavored to perfection. BYOB too!

Their method for seating parties is so backwards. If you're a party of 2 and a 4 top becomes available they'll seat people who came long after you if 4 people are in their party. Not how it works !
Alyssa Cundari RoelansSeptember 18, 2012
Order the French toast "super flight" to get a tasting of their amazing French toast, which includes their weekly special and their menu regulars! Also, the omelets are delicious!
Dana Simone StovallMarch 9, 2019
Doesn’t matter when you come; it’s a rocking line and a little wait. Come and put your name on the list; they’ll text you when it’s almost time to be seated. #WorthIt
Andrea RichardsonMarch 26, 2013
Order the french toast flight! Skip the sweet potato hash browns. The chicken sausage & pork sausage are house made and DELICIOUS! Staff very friendly. HIGHLY recommended.
Katie MillikenJuly 3, 2016
Such good French toast! Also BYOB, and they offer multiple different juices in carafes to make mimosas. I recommend the grapefruit juice!
Annie KorkowskiJanuary 17, 2016
Incredible food - the crab cakes Benedict is to die for. can't leave without getting the French toast flight and the cheesy hash browns.
Stacy Bo BacyMay 7, 2021
Get the french toast flight to try them all. Though, I will say that caramel is the best.
Asia ThurstonMarch 24, 2017
Chicken and sweet potato waffle...my mom had it, and she said it was rich and dry...so..you may need syrup for it.

Hot chocolate was lukewarm at best. BUT the French toast, chicken and waffles, shrimp omelette, & hash browns were amazing!!!!
Ricky BurtonAugust 8, 2014
Seriously good breakfast for a pretty decent price. Get there early for brunch or want 1.5 + hours.
Trina NRJuly 20, 2014
Excellent food! Worth the wait and the manager is super nice and clearly loves what he does. :-) Order one of everything and share!
Kaleigh SJanuary 19, 2017
The French toast super flight is pretty great. Not sure it's worth more than a 15-20 minute wait, but it is delicious.
NajlaOctober 21, 2016
French toast flight was amazing. Long waiting on weekends but totally worth it!
feliciaAugust 16, 2015
BYOB & order a half carafe of OJ. French toast flight & crab cake Benedict. delicious! prepare to wait though.
Joel OubreJuly 28, 2015
Crawfish omelette was on point and I can't say enough about the Chicken n' Sweet Potato Waffle combo....mmmmaayyyynnnn!
Nicole LisaMarch 6, 2014
Definitely worth the hype ! I was most impressed with the flavorful food, fun ambiance (house music!), and friendly owners.
Shelby AnnOctober 28, 2012
The Pumpkin waffles and Tussime make for an amazing experience! Everything is delicious! It's BYOB too, don't forget your champagne for mimosas!
Todd KunaAugust 31, 2022
Delicious breakfast with lots of fun French toast options including rotating specialty flavors

My first time at this establishment and it was amazing! The lobster Benedict and French toast super flight were simply divine!

Food is always amazing, although they need to learn how to handle there carry out orders in a better fashion, I w/left on hold for 20 mins, called back and they told me no more callins while in route
AlisonAugust 6, 2022
Amazing French toast. It’s their signature dish. Get there early and get the super flight, you don’t be disappointed
LaTia McPhersonMarch 3, 2013
As mentioned, French Toast flight is a must. Sweet Potato Hash Browns weren't done or just served way tooo soft. I'll pass on those next time.
Katie MillikenOctober 26, 2015
French toast super flight! Fresh, filling, and flavorful (no syrup needed!) Don't forget to BYOB!
MelodyApril 6, 2013
By far the best brunch I've ever hard! Chef Rylon is amazing! The French toast is to die for & BYOB! I'm sold!
MikeOctober 18, 2014
Best brunch in the city. If the dish starts with the word "executive", it's a smart and savory choice.
Michaela BFebruary 23, 2013
Great breakfast spot! We had the Traditional and the French Toast Flight and everything was delicious. Service was great too!!
Phaedra LeslieOctober 25, 2014
Never had a bad meal. I go near closing or before midday during the week for less of a wait.
JamiMarch 23, 2014
Best breakfast/brunch place in the city hands down! Love it!
Lanii ThomasNovember 11, 2013
Try the French toast sampler! Chick sausage is excellent. Luv this place.
Michael GoroffSeptember 29, 2012
Very high end quality and presentation. Everything is served deconstructed which allows you to see the quality. Good selection of high end teas
Nichole LunaJanuary 3, 2015
French toast is great without being overly sweet, never had anything not on point and staff is super friendly.
Jessica KimJanuary 9, 2013
Deconstructed crab omelette is to die for. Fluffy egg and fresh ingredients.
