Consistently delicious

by aeh5458

Nookies is one of my favorites - good, affordable food and a laid-back atmosphere. The service and the food are reliable - taste is consistent from visit to visit and it's always an enjoyable experience. There are interesting food options on the menu that I like to try out once in a while for something new. Soup is exceptionial, as well as the breakfast foods.

Best omelette in Chicago

by jen1971

Best omelette. Great customer service. Open 24 hours but they don't deliver. It's worth the visit.

Great cheap eats

by berryberrysweet

This is one of my favorite neighborhood diners, and you can get some great food for really cheap. The service can be kind of random, particularly during off hours (like between meals), but people there are generally pretty friendly. Order off the seasonal menu -- I always try their different offerings (like special autumn pancakes or a seasonal veggie fritatta), and I've never been disappointed.

Casual, late-night B.Y.O.B. eatery draws a barhopping Boys Town crowd.

In Short
Considering the concentration of bars and clubs in this neighborhood, good spots to grab a late-night bite are surprisingly hard to come by, so it's no wonder that Nookies Tree has been packing them in for more than 30 years. Breakfast is the big meal here, served all day and featuring an variety of morning favorites, like feta omelettes, French toast and waffles. Lunch and dinner options include burgers, salads, pork chops and spaghetti.

• Pros: open all night on weekends
• Cons: not much ambiencefood not great

AWESOME!

by hkygrl

This was a regular stop for me when I lived in the neighborhood and after eating dozens of omletes there I have never once been disappointed. Great service, a good atmosphere, easily seated, etc. There is parking in the back or next door, I think.

Awesome!

• Pros: awesome, awesome, awesome
