The Chicago Dinner is a true veggie delight! From the diverse menu to the cozy ambiance, it's a top-tier choice for vegetarians. The Wild Mushroom Risotto is a must-try, bursting with umami goodness. The commitment to local, sustainable ingredients is commendable. The staff is attentive and passionate, enhancing the dining experience. While not the most budget-friendly, the value is justified. The dessert selection could be more diverse, but overall, it's a haven for plant-based gastronomy in the heart of the Windy City.
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.
Wow! I’m highly satisfied with this place. We ordered so many things off the menu everything was so delicious
and did my body right! I highly recommend this place for some good clean eating vegan food. EVERYTHING was delicious. Was worth the hour Drive and hour traffic.
It’s a diner so the atmosphere is a diner atmosphere. It was really loud in there and I enjoy a more peaceful setting. That would not stop me from dining in. I had a great experience with great customer service. Food came out hot and fresh too.
I love, love, love, they use seitan as a vegan protein it’s one of the top 3 healthiest proteins to use along with mushrooms, veggies, chickpeas, and beans.
We tried:
Country fried Steak with potatoes and Vegetables
Chili with Quinoa
Thai Chili Wings
Cheese Fries
Gyro
Cinnamon Bun
And none of it was shy of anything all goodness. Wow (I have to always put this disclaimer I meditate a lot and is in tune with my mind, body, and spirit and keeps me on the highest vibrations and I always have the best experiences because of that)
Street parking you have to pay for so keep that in mind.
Also for heavy users of soy. I use my body for my research. So these statements are something to consider if you find yourself having these symptoms.
that soy and dairy is linked to multiple cancers…endocrine disorders, infertility, breast cancer in both men and women, soy contains high levels of phytic acids which withdraw nutrients when processed by your body.
Soy is harmful to children.
Please do your research. Listen to your body that is the best research. When you get done eating you should not feel bad with gas, stomach cramps, tiredness, irritability, headaches, inflammation in muscles and joints.
For those who eat Dairy, it causes mucus and inflammation in the body as does soy… that’s why you always having running noses, sneezing, allergies, and any disease in the body.
Let’s create a world that eat healthy foods that’s good for the mind, body, and soul. Chicago Diner is paving the way!
Wholeness and Love Always!
These photos don’t do justice as I was so excited and eating everything and yes I ate most by myself. I only eat once every 24hrs.
