• Lou Mitchell's - 565 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60661
  One of Chicago's most iconic diners, Lou Mitchell's has been serving up breakfast and lunch in the West Loop since 1923. Close to Downtown and just a few blocks from the Chicago River, this landmark is a can't-miss breakfast spot. They've been serving some of the best omelets and pancakes in town for over 100 years, and they show no signs of slowing down. The Belgium waffles, available with a wide variety of toppings, are also top-notch. 
  
  
• Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club - 3348 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL 60659
  With three locations in North Park, Belmont Gardens and Lincoln Square, Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club is one of the best breakfast spots in Chicagoland. Elevated breakfast fare is the name of the game at this rustic-chic eatery, which is open from 7 am to 3 pm every day of the week and offers seasonal outdoor seating. The bread pudding French toast is a true highlight of the wide-ranging breakfast menu, which also includes smoked salmon omelets, spiced banana waffles, and chorizo skillets. 
  
  
• Lula Cafe - 2537 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647
  Hip yet approachable, Lula Cafe is an inventive New American restaurant in the heart of Logan Square. This place has a community-focused mindset, serving dishes that are largely made from locally sourced and organic ingredients. Elevated breakfast sandwiches, burritos and scrambles are served in a warm, sunny space, along with excellent coffee and espresso drinks. Options are available for a wide range of dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free.
  
  
• Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe - 130 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601
  With four locations across Chicagoland and an Oak Brook location coming soon, Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe is a popular brunch restaurant that attracts patrons every morning for its eclectic breakfast and lunch menu. Signature pancakes, waffles, French toast and crepes are the stars of the show at Wildberry, but there are also plenty of options for diners who prefer savory over sweet. Build your own omelet or try one of the excellent signature benedicts. 
  
  
• Little Goat Diner - 3325 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
  The Little Goat Diner is one of many excellent breakfast spots in the Southport Corridor, a row of businesses in the bustling Lakeview neighborhood. The cuisine here is bold, flavorful comfort food, and it's served every day starting at 7 am. With its booths and counter seating, the vibe is very much that of a classic diner, but the food represents a modern twist on diner fare. Favorites like shrimp and grits, avocado toast and gooey cinnamon rolls — made fresh at the in-house bakery — are served all day long.
  
  
• Huck Finn Restaurant - 3414 S Archer Ave, Chicago, IL 60608
  Best known for its famous donuts, Huck Finn Restaurant has three locations in McKinley Park, West Lawn and Oak Lawn. This place has been family-owned since 1971, and it has the traditional ambiance of an old-school Greek family restaurant. Breakfast is served 24 hours a day at cozy booths and counter stools, the latter frequently occupied by neighborhood regulars. Try the cinnamon roll French toast or the tasty spinach and feta omelet.
