Lou Mitchell's is a historic and iconic Chicago diner that has been serving up classic breakfast dishes for nearly a century. The atmosphere is bustling and energetic, with the staff creating a homey and welcoming feeling. While some dishes like the French toast and pumpkin pancakes left something to be desired, others like the chicken sausage and coffee cake were delicious. With huge portions, great coffee, and friendly service, Lou Mitchell's is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a taste of old-school American diner nostalgia.

Wanted a taste of a proper old school American diner and got exactly that here. The food was excellent and the coffee was really good. I tried the 2 egg with chicken sausage and it was really good, portions are huge too. The staff were all really nice and it was a great way to start a Sunday

This is one of the oldest breakfast diners located in Chicago, it stands proud serve in the people of Chicago for 99 years. I found a service to be helpful the food was very nice although I wish I could’ve tried more things on the menu because it all looked delicious! The great thing about this diner is that it opens early at 6 am which means you can get in there and enjoy nearly breakfast before your day starts!

Loved the place and experience, classical diner where you know what to get. Great portions, and they will accommodate for smaller ones if requested. Flavors were exceptional, really liked the place. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Lou Mitchell 's is a blast from the past- and what lovely aromas emanate from their kitchen! Heartiest breakfast in the 'City of Big Shoulders ' where everyday Chicagoans go for a truly high-quality dining experience. I would aver that, like Gibson 's (Original) Steakhouse, Mitchell 's is the very best at what they do. I have been to Gibson 's on a number of occasions, so take my advice and #EatAtLouMitchells.
