Casual neighborhood eatery serves generous portions of lunch and breakfast to a loyal River West crowd.

In Short
A crowded cafe with a high green ceiling, brick walls and a bustling counter, Uncle Mike's feeds neighborhood workers, aging residents and police officers. It opens early for hearty--and many even healthy--breakfasts: hot oatmeal, big plates of fresh fruit, greaseless omelets and pancakes. But the star is the tender 12-ounce skirt steak with eggs. A couple dozen sandwiches are served all day, while daily specials (chicken teriyaki, rainbow trout) are served from 11am.

THIS PLACE HAS THE WORLD,S WORST COFFEE
WHEN I ATE HERE THE FOOD WAS COLD AND THE TOAST WAS BURNT.THE COFFEE TASTE LIKE GASOLINE.AND THIS PLACE DONT EVEN STAY
OPEN FOR DINNER.. AND THEY DONT HAVE ANY BOOTHS. IT IS HARD TO FIND PARKING AND YOU HAVE TO STAND OUTSIDE IF YOU WANT TO SMOKE.THERE MANY MANY BETTER PLACES TO SPEND YOUR CASH.IF YOU EAT HERE TAKE SUM TUMMS WITH YOU.
- Cons: NO BOOTHS, NO PARKING, NO SMOKING

A Nice Breakfast? Perfect Lunch? Hearty Snack? well, just walk right into Uncle Mike's Place and you'll surely get one! I've visited Chicago for only a short time but this place really got me hooked! I love the fruit platters, the marinated steak and especially the different Spams they serve! Plus the very warm and welcoming atmosphere makes Uncle Mike's a very nice place to start your day.
Not trendy. Just plain ol' good!

Great basic greasy-spoon breakfasts for very reasonable prices--lower than any other breakfast joint in Chicago. Unless you require eating somewhere trendy (eg, HUE, Bongo Room), Uncle Mike's is the place to go!

While trendier breakfast joints wait until a lazy 8 a.m. to open on weekends, Uncle Mike's is open at 6! This is a good thing. The breakfast food is good, selection varied and the service is excellent. Great to know that these guys are right around the corner!
- Pros: prompt service, menu selection, reasonable prices
