Loved everything about this place. Such a great breakfast menu, it was hard to decide! Ended up with the steak omelet and sharing the French toast flight, so good!

Driving on Lake Street, we observed Chicago Waffle, so we decided to try it out. Good choice. I had the pancakes and sausage. My wife had a veggie omelet with potatoes and pancakes, and my daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes with bacon. The food was yummy. Service was great, lots of attention. Definitely if in the area we will dine here again.

This has become a family favorite place to visit on a weekend morning! They have a good variety of breakfast items and lots of fun waffle dishes. We tried the chicken and waffles with bacon and spicy maple syrup, the liege waffles (topped with strawberries and blueberries) and other meals! The service is good and if you make a reservation, you can be seated right away.

Tried Chicago Waffles today with one of my bestfriends and had an amazing time. We asked if we could sit outside and they accommodated us. Our waitress Gabriella was amazing and so helpful when it came to giving me suggestions on what to try. I got the the short rib waffles and it’s definitely something I would get again but the menus offers so many amazing options, we plan on coming again and trying out other options. Would highly recommend and they will see us again soon!

Unbelievably great food, generous portions, amazing presentation and excellent quality. My husband has the waffle sandwich and love it! I have a the original Benny. Definitely gonna have leftovers which are shelf stable and perfect for reheat! Coffee is gourmet and you can even buy a bag for home brewing. This is our staple place in the OP!!!

5 stars all around! Upon arrival to Chicago Waffle (Oak Park), after traveling in from out to town, we were greeted with Gabby's warm smile and atmosphere to match. Everything was pleasing from the service to the music and environment. The menu contains a variety of food to fit anyone's appetite and is oh so TASTY. We will definitely be returning every opportunity that we have! Tanya T.

Gabby was my waitress. She was super sweet and even called a coworker to help me find stuff to do while I’m in the city (I’m from Texas). I got the Steak Skillet w/ pancakes and a vanilla latte. My food came out fast and was amazing.

We didn't go in, so I can't recommend the service or atmosphere. But I can say that their food is delicious! I had one of their Chicken Waffle Sandwiches, and it came with plenty of eggs! The bacon was really good, too. Cooked well but not crispy, just the way I love bacon, so it really added flavor to the sandwich. While we had it Grubhubbed to us, I would definitely say based on the food that it's worth the visit either way. And the fruit my food came with was very juicy and sweet, too! Not a single disappointing chunk of fruit in the entire cup.
