Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Wonderful place for breakfast! It was quick and delicious. The portions were really generous too. I ate gluten free due to celiac disease. The server asked me before I could tell them it was for medical reasons.

The gluten-free options are amazing. The only downside—and the reason for the 4 stars—is that the waffle in the crispy chicken & bacon Berlin waffle can’t be made gluten-free.

My friend and I were visiting for 1 night only in Chicago and stopped here for breakfast. The server we got was AMAZING. Super personable and upbeat! Our waters never got low, trash was never on the table for long, we were checked on often, and we had everything we needed! They also offered gluten free pancakes which were AMAZING!!! I loved them. They were light/easy on the stomach and tasted like regular pancakes. Next time I find myself in Chicago, I will be sure to come back. Please don’t miss an opportunity to dine here! 10/10 y’all are perfect and we love you❤️

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was busy, but the service was quick and friendly. The food came out very quickly and was very, very good. They have gluten free pancakes, which surprised me! I would highly recommend this place and we will absolutely go back next time we are in town.

Went for a weekend brunch and got their famous burger. For a near $30 burger, it is a tad disappointing that fries aren't included or even on the menu for brunch. Burger had great flavor, but the sauce and toppings really carried most of the flavor. The meat itself was on the dry side. Also tried their coconut pancakes. Very heavy on the coconut flavor if you like that, but because it is gluten-free, expect the denseness and dryness that comes with that territory; not even the syrup could help 3/5. If you have some cash burning a hole in your wallet and a hankering for strong drinks and decent food, go try this place out.
