Citysearch

The Scene – This neighborhood favorite revels in retro reverence, from the color-flecked Formica tables to the sun-yellow and lime-green walls. A Leif Garrett album rests on a windowsill, while customers entertain themselves with miniature Mr. Potato Heads, Magic 8 balls and other time-tested toys. – – The Food – Despite the tiny kitchen, portions are generous, and food arrives fast. Enormous bread slices fan out in triplicate to build an incredible French toast tower, with sauteed banana, peach and pineapple compote. The Green Eggs & Ham ... Sam breakfast includes…

Retro Brunch Revival

by tommy_234 at Citysearch

Kitsch'n cooks up some of the best signature dishes for brunch in the city. My personal favorites: Spicy-Crazy Eggs, Chile-quiles (the hangover cure!), Fried Chicken and Waffles, and their Coconut French Toast! The staff is extremely nice, and the crowd can run the gambit from 20-somethings to old-timers. I'd describe it as kind of a dive-bar meets 70's-chic urban hipster place - but don't let that fool you because the food is great, there is good service, and the place is clean and oozes cool decor (set the wayback machine for 1975). The wait is usually quick for parties of 2, and the few times we've gone with a group it hasn't taken too long either (20 min. max) - the spicy bloody mary's help the wait go by fast!

Pros: Great Food, Homemade Spicy Bloody Mary, Nice Staff
Cons: Can get busy (but the waits isn't too long)

Delicious Dinners, Too!

by jenniferlewis47 at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I just had dinner here, and enjoyed every bite. The tortilla chip/mango salsa appetizer was delicious, as were our meals. I'm sure their breakfast and brunch are also quite tasty, but if you're not wanting to battle the crowds, try 'em in the evening. We'll definitely be returning soon!

Pros: Fun atmosphere, Delicious food
Cons: Cramped seating

Kitsch'n Brunch Rocks!

by kenny65 at Citysearch

I can't believe I just found out about this place yesterday. They make the best spicy bloody marys in town and really know what to dish up for brunch! The spicy dishes especially, they dont hold back the heat on, and killer coconut french toast as well. Our waitress was extreemly cool and hooked us up with incredible recommendations (for food and brunch cocktails). It's very homey and has a unique "lived in" feel to it with tons of great vintage paraphenalia all around. They also served our food on fiesta-ware! File under "not to miss... and leave the attitude at home and unwind". Cheers!

Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly Staff, Good Scene

Know Before You Go:

Early arrivals should note that Chicago law dictates no alcohol served before 11am on Sundays. So if you want to try the signature chipotle bloody mary, you might want to sleep in.
