The Loop's time-honored breakfast spot Lou Mitchell's dishes favorites such as Belgium malted waffle, meltaway rolled pancakes, and fluffy jumbo omelets.
From the restaurant's website:
"Uncle Lou’s father started the family business in 1923, and then entered his son, Lou Mitchell. Enough fresh eggs have been cracked, made into omelets, cooked in skillets and sold at Lou Mitchell’s to go side-by-side more than a few times around the world. And to think, it all started with one man’s dream in Chicago, Illinois.The man was 'Uncle' Lou Mitchell. His graciousness, friendliness, hospitality and constant effort and attention to quality and excellence soon had the droves of hungry eager customers standing in line. The fun part of Lou Mitchell’s magic formula was added one day in 1958. Since that day, millions of donut holes to all and boxes of milk duds to the ladies and children have been given out. .. Today Lou Mitchell’s is not only a Chicago institution, but also recognized nationally and internationally with endless accolades."
Cash only. Kids' menu. No alcohol available. Serving breakfast (all day) and lunch daily.
"Still the downtown breakfast spot, the place to go for a big, cheesy, perfectly cooked omelet with crispy hash browns and thick slabs of toast. There's often a line at the door, but the complimentary Milk Duds and doughnut holes make the wait tolerable."
