Editorial Review for Bongo Room – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
This eclectic, colorful storefront is decorated with cool knickknack installations and a hip local crowd. Breakfasts come steaming off the line. Pancake options include brown sugar-pecan and banana, and ginger-walnut with warm maple-mascarpone cream. Eggs Florentine are light and airy, the classic preparation with hollandaise over poached eggs. Hash browns are a crusty mountain of new potatoes with lots of dill and not a hint of grease.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoExpect a long wait on weekends with nowhere to sit; get there early or late, or you'll end up toughing it out with the rest of the crowd.

The pancakes at the Bongo Room are amazing. They might be my favorite food on the planet. The coffee is great, so is just about everyhting on the menu. The food is out of sight. The owner is rude, obnoxious, and makes the entire experience unpleasant. He is a true first class ____.

I'm sorry, but this is by far the best place to get brunch (weekends are tough) in Chicago. I go back and forth between this place and Lula, but I can't believe anyone would have bad customer service from this place. And even if they did, the food is just so good that I think it's worth it!
