Stephanie AndersonJuly 1, 2011Just had the corned beef hash with eggs over easy on top- GET IT!!! Holy Crap that was yummy!
Jan CFebruary 23, 2013Get there before 10am to avoid a long wait, 9:30am seems to be the sweet spot.
Marty ErwinMarch 14, 2018This Yolk has much better service than the one on Diversey. If you have a choice go here.
When ordering a wrap remember to ask them close the ends like a burrito or it'll be all over your plate
ISC ChicagoJanuary 23, 2017Standard breakfast place, but very popular; be prepared to wait for a table
Kelly AndrewsAugust 23, 2011Like eggs benedict? Like pot roast? Get the pot roast benedict - it's amazing!
If you get stuck in the rain on the way here, just use the super powered dryer

Jason DJuly 21, 2013If you get grossed out by a dirty kitchen don't look behind the line when you are paying. Clean as you go people!
Sarah BirtwisleNovember 23, 2014Not the best eggs benny I have had to be honest. Hash potatoes were a little under done. Staff were slick and polite though.
