eleven city diner. The absolute worst restaurant in the WORLD! As a former Flight Attendant I have traveled quite a bit. I have never encountered such rude service. Apparently the owner is quite a pill, and his staff follows his lead. Please, Please stay away.…
Not a family friendly place!. My husband and I brought our two small children to this diner and were approached by owner, Brad, saying that we would be "required" to place our 4 month old baby in a "child apparatus"...that I could not hold my child while we ate. He said that this was due to a recent litigation at his diner. After I refused to not hold my baby, he did back down and said they'd "make note" of my refusal. Crazy and just plain stupid. After we ate, I did attempt to approach Brad, wanting to recommend he approach the situation a little differently in the future, but he was too busy being rude and condescending to listen. Definitely left a bitter taste in our mouths.…
Not real deal.
After we sat down 3 different servers approached us and never returned. Finally the 4th one took our order. They were much disorganized. It was after lunch time and not that busy.
I ordered chicken noodle soup and 1/2 sandwich. The soup had hardly any noodles. I expected more meat on the sandwich for the price and being a deli. They don’t put the standard Jewish deli bread basket like bialys and rolls. Instead they charged us 95 cents for bread (holly). I asked the manager about charging for bread and he said theirs was fresher than the other delis. bigger issue is no bread basket than 95 cents, just seemed cheap on their part. The background music was very loud for any restaurant let alone a deli.
This place doesn't compare to places like Max's and Max and Benny's in the north suburbs or Manny's on the west side. It wouldn't last there in my. It seems like one of the few places to dine in that area on the south loop.…
Eleven City is one of my favorites. I’ve been going to Eleven for about three years. The old school Jewish Delicatessen feel is certainly a plus, but it’s the food that brings me back. The owner is quite a personality who adds to the experience and cares about the product his kitchen and waitstaff are producing. I’ve never had anything that wasn’t incredible—the corned beef is as good or better than Manny’s, but everything from the homemade soups, the Schwartzie and breakfast goodies are equipped with generous portions and tasty flavors.…
JUNIORS!.
SO I discovered this place on a whim one day. Walking around the South Loop- which has become such a nice neighborhood btw- and I saw these big neon lights. Juniors Cheesecake. I have loved Juniors
for a long time and couldn't believe I found a place in the city that serves it. I wasn't even hungry but I needed a piece of cheesecake.
It made me think of home and was such a comfortable place. It was really casual and laid back. And I don't mean slow paced and boring when I say laid back I mean the servers are wearing jeans and t-shirts. It was really face paced with great show tunes and theme-appropriate genres playing on the radio. I was in and out really fast. I'm sure you can linger if you want but I got just the taste I needed.
I went out that night with some friends from out of town and came back for breakfast the next day. SERIOUSLY. Twice in 24 hours. So worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I don't live in the South Loop but the commute is great. The ambiance and the food was exactly what I needed.…
