    The South Loop has changed a lot since this 24-hour diner opened back in 1939. But the simple menu of eggs, bacon, pancakes and more has not, and we hope it never does. Read more

    This place seems to always be busy, but for good reason. It's absolutely delicious! I recommend the pancho villa omelette. Great flavors!

    I recommend the CJ plate for chicken and waffles. Good amount of food at a reasonable price. Their egg whites aren't shabby either. Milkshakes were a hit with other diners even in 30 degree weather!

    Man. They're friendly, open 24/7, and certainly have delicious, artery-bursting diner-food … but the music is motherfucking atrocious. ಠ_ಠ

    I personally love the country fried steak and potatoes. It’s so good. But you really couldn’t go wrong with anything you pick on the menu.

    The waitress calls you doll, hun or honey. You’ll let her call you whatever she wants if it means getting some of the—hands down—best diner food in town Read more

    The hamburgers definitely are not.😒 They have a weight put on & come out like shoeleather .1/2 lb. The thickness of a sole. Should have asked for gravy . Pie excellent!

    Their chicken and waffles are great, but they also have great skillets and comfort food. I love their BLT Club.

    The hash browns, sausage gravy, & the cream of corn soup were all great. There's a decent amount of metered parking north on canal.

    Meatloaf was tasty and moist. Corn seemed frozen not cob. Mashed pot were fresh. My girl had the Grecian Tilapia..said it was ok. Hash browns nothing spectacular. Cool vibe. Good service

    Classic downtown diner food. They never close. Get the Midnight Train, the Patty Melt, or the American Chilaquiles.
