Had an excellent breakfast here right before heading over to Soldier's Field for the Bears game. It was our first time here, and we are regular brunch fanatics back in NYC, so we know a great breakfast. There was a wait at 10am, and we waited about 20 minutes for a counter space for 2. Even though it was super... more

We really enjoyed our late breakfast at Yolk. We went during the work week during the lull between breakfast and lunch so noise or a crowd was not an issue. As we left, however, the lunch crowd began trickling in and you could tell it was going to be busy. We both ordered breakfast and the portions were huge. I... more

The food was amazing - a great mix of traditional favorites (french toast, ommelettes), but some great things added like crepes and french toast made from cinnamon rolls! My only complaint was the noise - it was packed in there (for good reason!) and with high ceilings, the sound was pretty loud. more

I'll try to keep this one short. Several of us ate here twice, so we got to try a few things. The basic, no-frills pancakes are very good, as is the O.J. The Monte Cristo is one of the best I've had anywhere. The Nutella crepes are really, really good, but the bacon quesadilla - not so much. It's a... more

We got a recommendation from a friend and Chicago native that this was a great breakfast spot, so we made the trek from our hotel on Randolph. After walking 14 blocks, we arrived to a 45 minute wait! Of course, it was 9:30am on a Sunday, probably one of their busiest times. We rationalized that the food must be good... more

Superb!

The food at this establishment is excellent. The portions are very generous and they don't skimp on the quantity or quality of ingredients. The service was also excellent. We will definitely go back again and again and again. more
