Best old school, wait, no — best breakfast ANYWHERE.
Properly awesome coffee, served in cups with saucers and refilled constantly, that takes you “body and soul” back in time to the days of the most perfect breakfast diner experience.
Servers in uniform.. home-baked pastries and breads and desserts.. 2 eggs really served as 4, omelettes, waffles and all the classic dishes.. booths and 20th-century counter service, too!
FIVE STARS forever!

I recently went to this restaurant for the first time and we felt very comfortable with the customer service they have, the food is very tasty and the attention is perfect. Despite having a very long line, the host worried about us and made us sit down quickly in addition to being very charismatic making us laugh with his jokes! When I travel back to Chicago we will visit this place again.

Lou Mitchell's is a great greasy diner. Hung over? Go here. Traveling on a train or bus? Go here. Want fast service? Go here. Want huge portions? You know the drill.
This is right across the street from Union Station, so it's always busy. Their service is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is an old school diner vibe.
The food was good, but this is not haute cuisine. It's a greasy spoon, and it does so unapologetically. The portions are humongous. No, really. They're huge. It's ridiculous. I actually laughed when the waitress brought me my Eggs Benedict. 4 eggs? Really? Ha!
If you plan on traveling via car, don't let the person driving eat here. They're going to fall asleep in under 15 minutes. Guaranteed.
I'll be back the next time I'm taking the Amtrak....

Perfect for the breakfast in a rainy day. 1923 - 2023, One hundred years of good services and traditional food!

I don't recall the last time I had breakfast on the go, but on my train ride down, I found this little "mom and pop shop" and decided to give it a go. They aren't messing around on their portions!!! It absolutely hit the spot and if I am ever in the area again, I will be taking a little stroll up the block from Union Station to try something else on the menu. I sat at the counter and looked at what everyone else was getting and everything looked SO delicious.

We were in town for the Marathon and needed a quick stop for lunch. This place was hopping! Lets try it. We got right in and were not disappointed! The service was excellent for how busy they were. Food came out quickly and was really good. Absolutely would come here again!

This place is excellent. This waitress was the best I have ever had. She makes you feel like family! I will definitely come back when I am in Chicago again!! Even though it is packed seating, they made me feel as if it was a hometown expectancies. Virginia is her name!!

A little pricey but MASSIVE portions of food! Complimentary orange slice and doughnut hole when you first sit down as a little appetizer. The omelette was fluffy and the scalloped potatoes so good and comes with incredible toast (you can pick your bread i got cinnamon raisin)

Most people go here for the food, I am sure! However, the experience itself is just fun! They celebrated their 100th anniversary this year! This place is a mainstay in Chicago! It has this quaint, family atmosphere in the middle of a metropolis! The servers were great and tried to stay on top of everything even though it was Sunday morning rush! The coffee was fresh, and the bakery items were delicious! Portions are very generous!! Go if you are ever in The Windy City!
