I am vegan and have a gluten intolerance. Their pancakes can be made both vegan and gluten free. They were delicious along with their street taco avocado toast. Highly recommend coming here!

I got the butchers block skillet. It was full of bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and hash browns. It was very good. Kind of salty with all the meat and potatoes but still very tasty. They don't have Splenda but they offer Stevia and regular sugar packets. I went on a Thursday afternoon and we walked in and got a table for 6 with no wait. If you're planning on going on the weekend I would plan for a long wait. Every weekend when I pass by the restaurant there's always a line waiting for a table. This restaurant is down the street from a lot of hotels and from major Chicago attractions like the Bean. I also got pancakes with my meal. All and all it was a good meal. The portions are generous. They do offer gluten free options. They have Coke products. My friend got their berry Bliss waffle. It looked delicious. Our waiter could have been better. I asked for oat milk and I got regular cream. My friend asked for a diet Coke and never got it until right before our food came out. They also have a large outdoor seating area.

I got the tuscan scramble and it was DELICIOUS. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast foods sometimes but this was a fantastic mix of an Italian pasta and egg. With cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, and chicken. No labels for gluten free items.

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.
