Best KPortal Reviews
Love the food - and so many options for Vegan/Vegetarian stuff here. Especially their Bathroom smells good - which is the most unusual thing I’ve experienced.
Will return for a better time with friends or others - defs recommend.
As someone who's been vegetarian for over two decades, it was extremely refreshing to finally see a menu with so many (or rather, only) vegetarian and vegan options. Loved the buffalo wings and I'll definitely be back to try out more dishes from the menu!
An absolute MUST VISIT for any vegan/vegetarian visiting Chicago. This joint is a thriving institution for a reason: the BEST food served by the friendliest staff in the most casual vibe. My biggest issue is trying to decide what to get because I want everything. Portions are generous and everything tasty. Favorites include the Mexican Scrambled tofu bowl (spicy and savory and bursting with flavor), the Reuben (all the salt and chew you miss from when you ate meat), the biscuits and gravy, and of course the milkshakes. You’ll want to come with friends so you can share and sample more items.
great little diner with amazing food. one of the few dishes I've ever had in life where I had to stop in awe because everything was just PERFECT! can't wait to go back
Vegan diner goodness! The Chicago Diner always hits the spot for comfort food with an extensive menu with plenty to choose from. I had the vegan patty melt which was delicious!
It was our first time visiting on Sat, Oct. 28, and we enjoyed everything. (It was worth every minute of the 2 hour walk from Millennium Station to the Lakeview/Boytown location).
The food was yummy. Service was great, fast, and friendly. They warned us of the 20% gratuity added automatically, when we were seated.
Bonus: We enjoyed seeing the staff's Halloween costumes and loved watching neighborhood kids in their costumes coming in to get candy every few mins.
The food: A brunch item, the cinnamon roll French toast, was superb. The gyro was fantastic...they cooked the handcut fries just the way I like them. The chocolate pumpkin cheesecake (a seasonal item) was scrumptious. And I am still daydreaming about that fabulous chocolate shake. I can't wait to go back to try more.
Finally made it to this vegetarian/vegan restaurant. I got the chicken fried steak. My friend got the mushroom loaf. The mushroom loaf was great! It was super fantastic. I thought my chicken fried steak was way too hard. It was really tuff. It had good flavor. It was crunchy on the ouside but hard on the inside. I'd never order it again. The veggies and mashed potatoes were really good. I tried the peanut butter puck for dessert. That was good! I'll go back sometime and try other menu items. This is a really neat place.
A coworker recommended this place to me as a visiting vegan. It was great!
We ordered the chicken parm, Cuban, and reuben for food. We also ordered three shakes - pumpkin pie, mint chocolate chip, and chocolate peanut butter. We all loved our meals, even the non-vegans.
I had the Cuban and it was really flavorful and hearty. Between the peppers, cheese, and seitan, it had a really good combo of sour, salty, savory flavors. The textures were great as well. Everything you'd hope for in a Cuban!
I wish I could go back tonight!
