Great Breakfast. Great breakfast spot. It's always busy but the wait never seems to be too long. I would recommend getting their strawberry-orange juice, it's always fresh and delicious. The food is great. I have liked everything I've tried but am a fan of the eggs benedict and the tour de France, which comes with three different types of french toast. They also offer other food for if you aren't in a breakfast mood. The service is pretty good most of the time, however, they can get pretty busy so it's best to try to order right away.

South Loop Breakfast!. This place is right down the block from me, and I remember one of my roommates RAVING about this place as soon as we moved in this past summer. Granted, it took me a surprisingly long time to meander down there myself...like, four months. Haaa. (So I'm a little slow...)

It's a great place for breakfast or brunch! There are so many things to choose from for breakfast that it made our heads spin.The portions are huge! The prices are great . The waitress checked up on us several times. Simply Great place.

These negative reviews gotta be a joke.... Okay, anyone giving this place one star must be working for another breakfast place, or simply be irritatingly impossible to please... 100% HONEST REVIEW I have eaten at Yolk many times, never had a bad experience outside of occasionally waiting for a check a little longer then I wanted to... but it is a busy place on the weekends, so I expect it.

The food is gigantic. $10 for an omelet the size of my head, served with an English muffin (which is a little too firm for my liking personally, but I can't finish the pancakes you can substitute in for the muffin) and enough fruit on the plate alone to constitute a breakfast.

I get half that portion for $10 at most major chain restaurants.

I not only would go back, I do go back. And I consider myself picky generally as to where I eat.

So once again, these 1 star reviews should constitute libel or something, since they are entirely not my experience, ever. :-D

Dirty Tables; Cold Eggs; Bad Service. The food is awful! The place is dirty. The service is lousy. The only reason people are lined up to eat here is because it's one of very few breakfast places in the south loop. Skip it! Cook your eggs at home!
