    Honestly one of the best experiences. We loved the energy and the atmosphere as soon as we walked up to the door. The staff was friendly from the start. We had a chance to chat with the manager Jaxy! What a lovely human! So kind. Our waiter was also amazing and so genuinely friendly. Helping us with suggestions in the area. And making sure we were well taken care of. We are visiting from Ohio and this was an awesome stop on our Chicago experience. Thank you all for the memory! Jeff, Heather and Thera from small town Ohio.

    Very crowded Friday, pretty loud, everyone at ease, servers about business & getting u ye grub ASAP! TCD, an all vegan restaurant, offered 🍺 🍷 & delish vegan shakes & deserts. When sold out, that's it! Delicious and tostadas, quinoa & 🥑 🌶️ amazing ChimiChurri. Kinda pricey, eh. A rare treat 4 us from Ohio. Mac n 🧀=💋. Leak soup def needs some fresh taste, too🧂 & bland, but all else 😋. They have Parking Which I wish I knew of before paying fees!

    Was really excited but didn’t live up to the hype at all… portions were small, prices were high… food was just ok… Hostess had a bad attitude. Our server was really nice, but just very disappointed overall. Buscuits and gravy was 2 biscuits and a dinner style gravy, and it was on the breakfast menu… laughably small portion for $9, for something as inexpensive as buscuits, you should expect more… the monté cristo sandwich was pretty good but very small as well, and the poutine was the best thing we had an it was just ok as well, Just simply not worth the price… there are far better places in Chicago to get some very good vegan comfort food. Sorry for the not great review, I hate leaving negative reviews on vegan restaurants, but leaving feeling slightly ripped off is never fun as well. Hope things get better.

    I went to Chicago Diner twice during my most recent visit to the city, and I’d go back anytime. It’s an amazing place for vegetarians- it has that classic American diner feel, but you don’t miss out on anything just because it’s all vegetarian. The crowd is really diverse, the food options are great, and the service is quick and efficient. Highly recommend!
