Not my top breakfast choice but semi-iconic in Wrigley and if you want a diner this is it. Classic 1950s-style diner featuring red booths, retro rock tunes & standard comfort-food fare.

Board games and a hops-y lineup pass the time at this chill, wood-paneled Lakeview tap that's popular among both daters and groups; since tables are a hot commodity, arrive early or prepare to stand.
