This is a great space. Large enough for a group of 4 adults and 2 high chairs. The service was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We enjoyed our food and there were lots of good options. Definitely one we would come back to! Mom POV: definitely baby friendly with plenty of high chairs (and they are better quality/secure than some places we've been to). Overall welcoming to families. The only downside is there is not a baby changing station or table, at least not anywhere that we saw and we were looking.

We landed in Chicago at 845am and were starving. Having punked my brother into picking us up, it seemed like a win-win that we would go out to eat on the way back to his place. It's 5pm somewhere as the saying goes so I wasted no time indulging in a morning cocktail. The name escapes me. Sorry. Blame the perimenopause. Here's why I loved this place - as I get older my tastebuds really do be changing. I wanted something both sweet and savory and that can be hard to come by at brekkie - you're gonna get one or the other. Welp this spot had an elevated take on a Monte Cristo complete with eggs, a pork product, salad greens, and cheese. Served with home fries and an added side of chicken sausage. They even gave a sidecar of syrup - they know what's up. I didn't have to choose and got exactly the flavor profile I wanted. My brother got waffles and my mom got an omelette. I sampled liberally from both of their plates. Fat things: seats with no arms, booths, seats with arms. Waitress had a good eye and asked what we would prefer. We love an observant and inclusive business. I wish I could tell you the prices of the food. When the bill came I did the slow reach for my wallet and WOULDNT YOU KNOW - by the time I opened my purse my brother had already put his card down. I'll get the next one I told him. I did not get the next one.

My family and I just ate breakfast here this morning. My daughter wanted to write a review so I have posted it below: Sprint don't run! The most amazing service especially our waitress Gabi. I have never enjoyed breakfast so much in my twelve years of living in this area (I have also only been alive for twelve years). The bacon was perfect and crispy. I had my usual chocolate chip hotcakes that were nice and fluffy with the perfect amount of chocolate with bacon and it was amazing! The apple juice was normal but still thirst quenching and tasty. The chair caught all the food I dropped and that was nice. There wasn't to many people so it felt cozy. The decor was nice and the seating was a good size, it could fit many people. Overall this was an amazing experience I will definitely be returning soon! REVOLUTIONARY!

Don't even finish your thought. Just go. Go! I licked the plate clean! I had their hot honey butter fried chicken and waffle and I have never had anything so crispy, yet light and tender. It was sweet and savory. Crispy and juicy. Total umami! And the bloody merry is yum . My husband had the breakfast burrito with potatoes and you just can't go wrong. This is definitely the new breakfast spot. Our server was fast, attentive and gave us a quick history of the place. The decor is cozy - something to see everywhere you look. I'm so freakin' happy

Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club is always on the top of the list when searching for good brunch restaurants in the Chicago area. My friend and I stopped by on a Wednesday morning around 11:30AM and were seated without a wait. The restaurant is homey and warm. The menu has a decent variety of options, some with Asian influence. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was well-seasoned and well fried. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It's a generous portion and I took about half of it home. We also ordered the French toast to share, and my friend ordered the pajeon. We weren't too fond of the French toast. My friend greatly enjoyed the diverse flavor profiles of her dish, and also went home with leftovers. Definitely an interesting menu with well executed dishes.

Popped in one Sunday while getting in my steps for the day. This location feels like a larger version of the North Park location. I ordered sausage with biscuits under white gravy, eggs, and potatoes. I am accustomed to the gravy having sausage in it. It adds flavor without needing any additional seasoning. The gravy here was thin, rendering very much the chalky taste of flour. Everything else hit the spot. The service was great. They even apologized, seeing that I left the biscuits and gravy alone. It was not their fault. Next time, I may order something like pancakes.

A perfect little cafe. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and quickly seated. The staff were welcoming, as was the decor. I had the chicken and waffles, and my son had quiche for breakfast. Our meals were delicious and devoured so quickly that I didn't even snap a picture. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club never disappoints! The Pajun Pancake is so good and gives the right amount of umami and the Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. The Burger Club and carnitas skillet were amazing as well. We ordered an order of the hotcakes with berries and cream for the table and we devoured all of our food. The aesthetic of the restaurant makes you feel like you're in your granny's home and is so homey. Definitely one of my favorite brunch places in Chicago!

Second time here and I'm glad I came back. The first time I wasn't impressed. I had the chilaquiles and somehow it just didn't hit the spot. Today I tried the skirt steak skillet and the bread pudding French toast and both were amazing. The skirt steak was nicely cooked, not tough but charred with a nice color to it. The bread pudding French toast was amazing, went perfect with a latte. Got the half order becuse it's a lot. The chorizo skillet my friend got was good but I'm not crazy about chorizo, she liked but said she'd go for my skit steak skillet next time. The plain hot cakes were great too. Service was quick and freindly both times I was there. Although I didn't go during peak hours, parking is on the street, free not paid.
