“We had other restaurants that sounded good but all 4 of us enjoyed the food and the staff,especially Jill and Baker(whom we thought were just alot of fun.”
“Perhaps the repeat customers like to be rushed through their meal deal with a staff doesn't really know about their menu and is unapologetic to be out of basic items like cream for your coffee.”
“Forget about the second cup of coffee, this pushy restaurant would rather give your seat to the next customer.”
“We had done our research on the best places to eat and experience Chicago so we carefully selected the restaurants we would visit (breakfast being our favorite meal out)TOAST was our 1st breakfast and WOW.”

Toast is the Most!. I hate reading these recent reviews where they 'Jill-bash' -- as 8+ year customers, my wife Jacky and I have gone there through dating...to marriage...to children...to currently pregnant again, and Jill has seen us through it all becoming a friend as well as touchstone for our weekend brunch or quick weekday breakfast or lunch when we can steal away. She LOVES kids; always makes our daughters and all other children welcome, and the only time she 'snarks' is when yuppies (and uh - yeah, I'm one. I confess.) refuse to drop their attitudes of entitlement when they step in there (no talking on cell phones and not understanding that 'full' party attendance is mandatory being the two big rules). She's a breath of fresh air for us, and we love hearing the staff's stories (they're all great too - esp. Felix) -- and oh yeah: the FOOD -- crabby eggs benedict, oatmeal, bacon, stuffed french toast -- all must-taste draws...and great sandwches and salads for lunch. We have always come to Toast...and we always will...but Toast without Jill would be a sad place, indeed.…
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!.
I had heard this was a good breakfast place...so my wife and I went there in the morning to celebrate a birthday with another couple. Upon our entry, there was a table for 4 open...so we thought
perfect! However, the waitress/manager was extremely unfriendly and told my wife and I to sit down on the bar stool and wait till our other two friends walked in. She refused to let us sit at the open table, even though our friends were just parking. Before our friends could arrive, another couple walked in and the waitress gave the table for 4 to them!! We inquired why and she said that is just our policy. She became even ruder at this point and essentially did not care if we left. She refused to give us her name and simply walked away.
The other posts talking about poor customer service are TRUE!!!!
Do not bother going to this place....you will be disappointed. You may even end up eating food that has been 'altered' by the "manager"
Don't take my word...read all the other reviews on Google reviews.…
Friendly? Really?. Jills the owner/hostess is the rudest person I've ever encountered at a restaurant. Its sad she feels the need to snap and give icey looks to her customers. My friends and I literally did nothing, just simply told her we had a party of 7. She immediately snapped and said "we can not accomidate you". We didnt mind splitting up into groups, so we suggested this to her, she rolled her eyes and said "fine, i guess." Im not sure what warranted this rude and abrassive response. I was embarassed I had recommended this spot to my friends. Once I told a few co-workers what had happened, several of them agreed, you have to stomach Jill the owner/manager in order to eat at Toast. I say skip stomaching the rude owner, just go to the Toast in bucktown. They will make you feel right at home and will great you with a smile. Let me know once she is fired, then I'll consider going back.…
Toast. In my opinion there are several other breakfast joints around the area that have better food & better service than they have at toast.
Another Amazing Experience At Toast!. Tshsu777! You should be ashamed of yourself. Writing horrid reviews that denounce people and call them "Nxzi"s? That is ignorant and stupid especially around this time of year! Toast happens to me my favorite place to go to in this city. The people there are genuine, and the food is so worth the wait! Jill H IS the reason I go to Toast. She makes the place so inviting. The atmosphere is so full of life, and I feel like time stops when I am there. I can't rave enough about the food, the people, and the great person who takes care of us all when I am there. I came on this site to write a wonderful review and read that garbage written by Tshsu777. People like that are never happy. Check out Toast for yourself! They are the best. Get to know the staff, and you'll enjoy the experience more. I'll be the Indian at the bar..She calls me Hindi Mindi. Say hi if you see me.…
