chicago diner

the atmosphere and food are dynamite! there was a bit of a wait but it was truly worth it. the food selection is awesome in this byob eatery. our waiter (so sorry i didn't get his name) was very knowledgeable about themenuand specials and told us a joke or riddle every time he passed our table. he made it a lot of fun to go along with the delicious food. themenuis so enticing you could never get bored with eating here. i'll be returning very soon!

a friend told me about this place and i thought it was very cool that it’d been meat free for so long (ahead of its time really)! was expecting a light, heathy meal since it was vegan but it was the exact opposite - i ordered the country benedict with the tofu scramble which was very heavy and filling but suuuuper tasty! the gravy alone was probably double my daily intake in calories but you couldn’t tell the seitan sausage was vego and i think it’d satisfy any eager meat eater. themenuitself was full of regular diner offerings and overall it was such a fun experience eating here. it’s in a great location and the service was absolutely amazing - the girl who served me was so lovely and even let me try a cinnamon roll on the house!

if you have any stubborn friends that say that they could never give up meat, this is the place you should take them 🤪

the best vegetarian eatery i've ever been to.. this past thanksgiving holiday, i visited my family in chicago -- i'm from florida. i looked up this place and went with my father.

the vibe of the place is great -- a very hip diner atmosphere and all of the staff were very friendly and not pretentious at all. i loved the lighting in there and how there was a diverse range of people in the diner. sadly, at other vegetarian places, i've noticed that the clientele can be of one type -- snobbish and uninviting.

themenuwas amazing. they have a huge selection and i've never known another restaurant other than this one to have a vegan reuben sandwich! i ordered this, and it was insanely delicious.

my dad, who is a meat eater, ordered the vegetarian philly cheese steak. this was his first vegetarian meal, and he was extremely impressed.

the chicago diner'smenupleases everyone. they have the best selection of vegetarian and vegan food i have ever seen at a restaurant.

if i lived in chicago, i'd eat at this place every week...it's that good.

i felt right at home. the beer selection is very good too -- a huge plus!

i ended up buying a chicago diner shirt. i'm now a huge fan!

i wish that there was place in florida even remotely like chicago diner.

chicago diner does it right.

highly recommended!
