Some of the best service in town

by LeighBee66

I've only visited for breakfast, as I'm lucky enough to live just a couple of blocks away, and the menu contains old favorites as well as creative twists, primarily with a Mexican flair.

I live in the same neighborhood as Ann Sather's and Pauline's, which are some darned popular breakfast spots, but given the choice, I'll always pick Over Easy for their service, as it is some of the most cheerful and attentive that I've received in Chicago, and I eat out 5 or 6 times a week.

If you're a vegetarian, you can substitute veggie sausage or try their vegetarian chilaquiles! Perhaps try their corn cakes (contain eggs) with special red pepper sauce or syrup. Give them a try. They are definitely worth it.

• Pros: Service. Creativity. Flexibility.
• Cons: The dining room can get filled up to overflowing at brunch. Try them for breakfast during the week!

Best. Food. Ever.

Over Easy is my new favorite place to eat. I've had a variety of things off their thankfully non-overwhelming menu and it's always been excellent. Especially the banana rum french toast. The space is small and you could end up waiting for a seat. But the service is good and the atmosphere relaxed. It seems a little pricey but I think it's worth the $10-12 a head considering the quality of the food. Try it!

• Pros: The food!
• Cons: Yuppie moms with babies

local, great breakfast, small

The food is why you go to this place. Be prepared to wait a while as the dining room is small and doesn't turn over as quickly as larger breakfast venues such as Wishbone. But the food! Also, extremely good coffee brought in from a specialist. Love this place, and I go frequently, even though I hate waiting. You can also get take out and BYOB.

• Pros: Food, coffee
• Cons: wait, smaller place
