A must go! Be prepared for a wait and a nice donut hole given out by a little lady that looks as if she's done it for many, many years! Lou Mitchell's is just like stepping back in time! Sit at the counter and chat with a local for the full experience. You can pass on the hash browns, but enjoy, the special of the day, or biscuits and gravy! DELICIOUS coffee in tiny, 1950's size cups that never go empty. Lou Mitchell's is doing it right! Enjoy, you won't leave hungry!

A true classic diner. Got in on the red eye at O’Hare and made my way to downtown for breakfast. This was the first listing that popped up in my breakfast search and I am so glad I stopped in. They started me with a donut hole at the door and I was sent straight to heaven. I ordered more donuts with my coffee and enjoyed the vibe. I was in here pretty early so I got a table on the quick but I heard people saying that was the fastest they have ever gotten a table, so make sure to plan ahead. I ordered the corned beef hash and it was amazing. The fresh baked bread that came with it, to die for.If you’re a true breakfast connoisseur, I would recommend this place.11/10 would recommend.

Lou Mitchell's is an iconic Chicago restaurant known for their breakfast and lunch offerings. Living in the greater Chicagoland area for sometime now, I had often heard of Lou Mitchell's mentioned in the news. Having worked downtown for much of the past 6 years, I thought I would get there at sometime. When my office moved to directly across the street, I finally had my chance. Receiving a hot donut (or Milk Duds) upon entering was a nice welcoming. The wait at 11AM was about 15 minutes. The breakfast food was good. Note that "one egg" is actually two eggs and "two eggs" is actually four eggs. The coffee was decent, although not the "World's Best" as they advertised. The service was very good. Our server was friendly and had a bit of Chicago attitude. The soft serve ice cream at the end of the meal was another surprise. Lou Mitchell's is definitely worth a visit.
