Visited Eleven City Diner this morning and spent too much money for too little quality. Plus there was some kind of rip off game going on. I ordered the 3 eggs plus toast and potatoes (listed for $5.95) – the menu offered an option to add bacon or sausage or ham for a total of $8.95 and I chose the... more

The host works hard to make waiting fun in this busy east coast themed “deli” which honors the Chicago Fire Department with flags & insignia. Expect to wait. The south loop location draws a young crowd, all ages welcome. Crowded, noisy, a lot going on, rapid well detailed service. Sandwiches, soups, eggs. $10-20 per person for breakfast or lunch.

My family and I loved this place and we went back four times while visiting Chigago. the Challah french toast was killer and they dish up fountain drinks that I thought were long-forgotten. Plus, it's cute and has personality. Great diner! more

Super place with great ambiance. Very friendly too. All you'd expect from a NYC deli without someone yelling at you. Latke's were bit heavy for me. I'd stick to the main breakfast specialities and sandwiches. Bloody Mary was super too. more

We went for breakfast on Saturday morning and were promptly seated..but, unfortunately promptly seated upstairs. It was clean and tidy up there, but, just not what I would have expected because the downstairs looked so cool. Instead of getting that cool vintage/retro vibe, I felt like I was in the back room where they used to throw pizza parties in... more
