Eleven City Diner

Well worth your wait. Breakfast all day and the food and drinks were amazing. Very kid friendly and accommodating for kids as they have kid's menu and provide high chairs. Their blood Mary was something I wanted to try and their mix was very tasty. I wish I could have had more of it. Their food was delicious and the kids menu came with apple sauce and fries. If you are in the area and want diner food or just want some good breakfast this is the place to go. Deserts were also worth getting, so big and we just split it amongst the table. Our waiter was on top of it as well. Good job to the wait staff there.

One of the best brunch spots in Chicago. It transports you to a 1950's era Brooklyn Jewish Deli. Dynamite food, attentive staff, great ambiance, and deep menu. Serving sizes are large. From the Tom Waits 2am Breakfast that is a super-sized breakfast sampler platter. Corned beef sandwiches massive and delicious. Bloody Mary is the best in town. No exaggeration, best in town--lots of toppings and a good mix. Desserts are amazing; nice touch placing the cake platters at the bar. A top 5 must-visit restaurant destination while in Chicago.

This diner is hands down amazing, they were trying to go for a family style atmosphere and they 1000% knocked it out of the park. They have a pretty long list of items on the menu so I guarantee pretty much anyone will find something they will like. The staff and management are amazing and will make you feel right at home. The manager I had a small chat with as I was leaving had absolutely fostered an amazing atmosphere, and I will absolutely be making special return trips, just to visit and grab a bite. Thank you all at Eleven City for an such amazing experience. See you again soon!

The atmosphere is nostalgic and 50's throwback. The staff is friendly and caring. They serve breakfast all day. They have mimosas. You can buy vintage candy. You can buy deli food. They try their best to help and accommodate your party. The appetizers are really good. The food is great. It is not on the lower price end. Kid-friendliness: They offer kids menu.

Been to so many countries and countless brunches but this one stands out! We were visiting from Canada for the long weekend and found this page though google- 35min wait and got seated at the bar and when we saw a table empty asked if we could be seated there instead. The first waitress declined but the owner ? Got back to us and made us an exception and promptly got us seated there with probably the best welcome of modern times. Being from Canada, I know a polite person when I see one but man this place is beyond expectations. The place is bustling and BUSY yet the servers and owners have the biggest smile in their faces and are just proud to be a part of the best diner institution there is! Food was great but I’ll be back in a heartbeat to just to sit there and enjoy the vibe! Most definitely my best brunch experience in USA and I’m close to having visited all 50 states :

Great place to eat! The service was awesome from all the staff. Fun and friendly environment. We had our 8 month and they accommodated us perfectly with the highchair and a table big enough for all of us. Following covid protocols with masks and gloves. The food was ao delicious! Home brewed root beer was tasty. I also had the pastrami hash bowl, would recommend!!

Excellent brunch meal was had recently at this location. The portions are extremely large and most items can be shared by 2 guest. The service is what I would consider average at best meaning they don’t voluntarily give refills of coffee without asking The prices are decent given the quality and quantity of food you are served I highly recommend the French Toast, House Potatoes and Monte Cristo

Solid diner spot in Chicago. Very spacious, but a little bit of a wait time before being seated. The staff is friendly and the service is great. Plenty of food and beverage options. We sat at the bar and that wad perhaps a great experience - mingling w the staff, experiencing how busy this place gets and being able to dine casual without any fuss. The bloody mary’s are a popular must and the root beers. There is catering options by the entrance and a separate candy shop. This place had an old school diner feel but clean and modern. The food btw is DELICIOUS.

This place was recommended by a Chicago local while I was visiting and it far exceeded my expectations! Great atmosphere with fun music with a, great mix of modern and retro. Lots of Jewish items on the menu along with American classics. Everything was prepared so well and the service was outstanding! I would highly recommend it!Food: 5/5

Food was decent…omelette was a little to “light & fluffy” for me. I prefer my eggs to be cooked all the way. The French toast was tasty. Service was mediocre. Because I was by myself, I was seated at the bar. The host stated they don’t seat parties of one at tables. That was pretty odd. Nonetheless, while seated at the bar, I waited 13 minutes before I was greeted and asked to order. Overall the atmosphere was average. Though I’m visiting Chicago for a conference, I don’t think I’d return for a second visit. There was no “wow factor”.
