“The servers are all wonderful (and we have never, ever, been rushed out, no matter how busy the place is), and the donut holes and Milk Duds are extra fun.”
“From the minute that you walk in, you are given fresh doughnut holes; when you are seated, you are given orange slices and prunes; you are given small ice cream samples for dessert no matter what time of day.”
“Everything that I enjoy about diners was in place, the cheap coffee and free refills, good counter service and tons of other people sitting around and reading the paper.”
“Is it the bad service or greasy food?”
“have been to the other location in Lincoln Park, and that is a good place, their food is great, but this place needs to overhaul some of their menu items.”
“If you want the Chicago breakfast experience and to feel history, then this a good place start in the morning!”
“pancake house. Wife loved her waffle enough to order it on a return visit.”
“We were seated within minutes and proceeded to order from a friendly host.”
“Not too pricey, GREAT coffee (and lots of it), and wonderful food.”
“Our food arrived within ten minutes and received such good portions that I took pictures of our meal before and after to prove that we actually finished everything on the plate.”View Less
A Taste of Real Orange Marmalade. Early birds can find Lou Mitchell's fresh baked donuts with a golden cup of coffee with their eyes closed. Breakfast starts with a slice of fresh orange and a sweet prune, while you choose your best morning breakfast. Try the corned beef hash with potatoes and three eggs to start your day. Plus fresh toast and two choices of jelly or homemade orange marmalade the way my Grandmother made it. A real treat is to have hot donuts with golden coffee at the top of the morning at Lou Mitchell. Be glad is open early morning near the METRA Station.…
Tropicana instead of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice. Instead of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice they brought me Tropicana with pulp for $4.95. When I asked waitresses is it Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice she respond YES and left immediately.
Great coffee!. We ate here twice last week while visiting Chicago . The first visit I was blown away with the service, food and the coffee was great! I love milk duds so that was a big score. The second day, not so much. Our server was horrible (and I mean horrible). Not sure how the coffee was that day because after asking for it 2 times, I never was served a cup of coffee. Not sure I'll go back the next time but definitely worth checking out, if you've never been!…
Lou Mitchell's Exceeds Expectations. The food was delicious, coffee excellent, service friendly and upbeat. I went off-hours (after typical breakfast "rush" hours so I can't speak to service for the average joe on the way to work but my experience was excellent and will go again next time in Chicago.…
Best Breakfast for families!.
If you want the typical breakfast diner place to go to, then Lou Mitchell's is the place to go, nothing fancy shmansey, and the food a AWESOME!! It's not expansive, but the food is great quality! and
allot of it!
If you want the Chicago breakfast experience and to feel history, then this a good place start in the morning! Especially if you have a family and on a limited budget.
My thoughts are, there was my self, my husband, our three year old and a 14 month old, my mother and my mothers fiancee, my kids aren't your quiet bunch but do behave relatively well, and we were visiting Chicago and needed a place to eat breakfast and on a budget, so after looking on here and other web sites there were all mixed reviews, but the good weighed out the bad, and thought why the hell not! lol!
I am so happy I followed my gut instinct on this one, the waitress we had was really friendly and after the my girls ate there breakfast, the waitress brought out some ice cream for my kids to have, which was so nice of her!
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID - GET CASH FROM THE ATM BEFORE YOU EAT!
If you are not really into the diner experience and more upscale restaurants then this may not be for you, but if you don't mind and just need somewhere to go eat, then this is for you!
Food is good, service was great, and all for a great price! I think for all of us we spent less then $45.00 for four adults and two kids.
PARKING - There is a parking lot around the corner of Lou Mitchell's, the guy discounted us because we were eating at Lou Mitchell's, and after we ate and walked to the lot he brought us our car.…
