In Short
Relaxed and casual, with bargain prices throughout the menu, this place draws the late-night crowds. Semi-loud '80s rock plays on the stereo, and windows offer Belmont Avenue people-watching. Breakfast fare features omelettes, egg-topped skillets and baked pancakes. Adults go for the Zorba omelette packed with fresh spinach and feta cheese; kids dig the funny-face pancake decorated with chocolate chips, whipped cream and maraschino cherries--and chocolate milk that's made from scratch.

Highly recommend going if you need a quick fix of some greasy food after a long night out of partying. After a club or a bar it is the place to be in Lakeview/Boys Town in Chicago. The service might not be the best, but the food makes up for the service. It might be because you just want food so bad, but regardless, their pancakes and burgers are AMAZING!

After being told to visit Clarke's by multiple people, I figured I'd give it a shot. What a mistake. There is nothing likable about this hipster staple. When my group was first being seated, we were placed next to a giant noisy speaker even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We asked to move. Thankfully, we were reseated. My waiter was some Spanish guy who barely listened to anything I had to say. I asked for a milk to be brought out with my food, and I went out of my way to specify. Of course, he brought it out first, completely disregarding my request. The pancakes I ordered were a crumbly joke and I couldn?t help but feel like the food wasn?t worth the price. When asking for my check, my waiter was too busy doing the Macarena to bring it to me. He just kept talking to his friend and singing/dancing to the radio. I was about to just leave. You shouldn?t have to fight to pay your bill. Side note: The bathroom is beyond disgusting. There?s an awkward toilet sitting in the middle of the floor and a urinal on the side. And this is supposed to be an open bathroom for multiple people? Thank god I didn?t walk in on some shameless guy. I think I?d choose just about any diner over this one.

Clarke's is so good. It's a classic Chicago diner and is open 24 hours. Awesome to go to after going out and there's always interesting people there, even if it's at 3 in the morning.

Know Before You Go:
Parking is accessible during the daytime but becomes virtually nonexistent at night. Try to take public transportation late in the day; the Belmont El stop (Red, Blue and Purple lines) is right across the street.
