Best KPortal Reviews
I love this place so much. Everyone I bring here from out of town loves it too! No frills, cash only and damn good food. The sergeant who runs the line keeps the service moving and the grill hot. What more can you want from a breakfast spot? I love the steak and eggs, but I’ve truly never had a bad meal here.
This is President Obama's favorite restaurant in Hyde Park when he is in town.
The first is what remains of a three egg Denver omelet. The second in the hot Turkey plate, extra gravy, mashed potatoes and a side salad. It was brought to my table piping hot!????????????????????
FYI: This is a cash only establishment!
They do have an ATM ????
Established in 1921 this spot is certainly a Chicago institution... what surprised me was how tasty the food was. It's clear why so many people LOVE this place. First, you should know it's cafeteria style... you wait in line, grab a tray, and order from an "assembly line" counter. Everything moves extremely fast. Ordered the everything omelette - bacon, ham, spinach, onions, peppers, and American cheese. Also comes with a choice of hash browns or grits. My meal was shockingly delicious.
Can't wait to return to try more of the lunch options...
I enjoyed this old school diner. The only ting I didn't like was the fact they don't accept credit/debit cards. So if you decide to go please have cash. Or be prepared to use they're on site atm.
Great service, good breakfast food - I had Obama's Favorite #3 with a side of toast at a reasonable price and other patrons friendly. I sat at Obama's Presidential Table. Overall a good experience.
Cash only ????
Anthony Bourdain’s Chicago flick brought us here and we loved it. Great food for cafeteria style and the ambiance was the classic diner. Loved watching the cooks take orders and move people along.
This was our first time eating at Valois. I got a Ham Sandwich on a bun, my husband got the Egg White Omelette with Grits and our son ordered Grilled Whitefish, Macaroni & Cheese, and Broccoli. We want to eat there again before we leave Chicago; the food is really good.
Update: We had to go back again before we left Chicago. I got a Cheeseburger and Fries, and Carrot Cake, my son, a Hamburger and my husband got the Egg White Omelette with Grits again. My husband also ordered a plate to go for dinner later; Baked Tilapia, Canned Yams, and Broccoli.
Warm and friendly employees serving the best homemade comfort food.
