HANDS DOWN!!! One of the BEST restaurants in Chicago! The food was EGG-CELLENT! The flavor was on point! I am about to make this Brunchery spot a monthly visit. Chef Rylon and staff does it every time!

Food Was Very Good And The Owner Was Very Nice. This was my second time here and I can say I will come back 1,000 More times.

Chef Rylan has a gift; his food makes people happy. Yummy!!!

Nice brunch place

It was my 71st birthday, and the food was awesome!!! Nothing was disappointing. ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely one of the best places I’ve dined in. The food and drinks were a 10/10. The selection of the music playlist was everything. Loved the fact that Chet Rylon actually came out to see how things were. We will definitely visit again soon

The food was exceptional—each bite packed with flavor and creativity. The atmosphere? Absolutely inviting, with a relaxed yet vibrant energy that made the experience even more enjoyable. The perfect spot to unwind, indulge, and savor every moment! Will be back

Very good food! Had a great time. Vegetarian options: Good options

Delicious food, drinks and service

I’ve been here a handful of times with my boyfriend, each time we get something different and it’s always been delicious! the staff is incredibly nice, the food is great, i recommend this place any time someone asks about breakfast/brunch in the city.

Went here for this first time this weekend and it was delicious!!!! All of our food was great with beautiful presentation! It was hard to decide what to order because we wanted to try everything! Our server was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. The atmosphere was bright and cozy! Our food was served quickly. We will definitely come back!!!! Thank you Brunchery for such a nice experience!

This is my new favorite brunch spot in Chicago!! The French toast flight and bacon flight were unreal, such a great way to try a variety of flavors. We also tried the brisket benedict from the specials menu and it was fantastic, really high quality ingredients and great flavor. They have an extensive drink menu and tons of different kinds of mimosas - we got their mimosa tower to try a few different flavors! Our server was knowledgeable and welcoming and the food and drinks came out quickly. Overall, the food and service was great and the atmosphere was lively and bright! This place really has everything you could ask for from a brunch place, definitely will be back.

Is the GC sandwich formerly the #11 on the menu? Parking: Good stuff

Simply amazing and beautiful. Loved the cinnamon roll pancakes and homemade chicken sausage. Looking forward to coming back asap!

Food was good. And service was alright. Just was loud. Was hard to talk and communicate with the commotion. But overall I liked it

The food was great, however, the service was not. We were sat immediately but we wait for 15 min before a server came over. Once we finished eating the server brought the check and we noticed there was a dish (we didn’t order) on the check. We brought this to the server’s attention and she went to talk to a manager (I assume). The manager came out and asked what was going on and we explained that we never ordered the dish and of course that dish never came out. The manager states that the kitchen said the dish was sent out and we continued to explained we didn’t receive nor order it. The manager then states that she is trying to get the story straight because she is getting conflicting information. We told her to check cameras and also offered to show her videos and pictures we took on our phones when the food originally came out. She stated that she was not the police and didn’t need to see anything. The waitress then walked up and just put the receipt on the table and walked away. She then avoided the table for the next 10 min as we tried to pay. She also stated that they could not split the bill by what each of us ate and could only split in two which is not helpful for me since I receive reimbursement from my company for meals like this. I wouldn’t come back simply because of the service. Amazing food though. As an update, I spoke with the owner who was very pleasant and who offered to make things right! I really appreciated this gesture so I increased my service star from a 2 to a 4 because of him 😆.

Good music great staff GOODDDDD FOOD

Must visit when in Chicago. We had such a great experience and the food was awesome!

This is such a fun place. I just picked it by accident. This place is so much fun on Saturday & Sunday. It has live band and the music, food and vibe are so good !!!!!!! Highly recommend it.

Food was A1 and the service was great. I was jamming and enjoying my food at the same time. Highly recommended

The dishes that we had was very delicious. The services is quick.

Great food, great drinks and atmosphere. 10/10.

As soon as my family & I reached the door we were greeted and directed where to go to be seated. Our server introduced himself as soon as we were seated by the host and was very attentive the whole time. The restaurant is small , but cozy. The food was delicious, I had the jerk Alfredo omelette. So flavorful, I wasn't sure if I would like the pairing , but WOW Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. The Mimosa tower was cute and great flavors to choose from. The music was great as well . Definitely should visit this establishment if you can

Great service, good food

This place was definitely worth trying food came out super fast and was delicious the chef was very professional and very nice this place is top tier We love this place all the way from Florida to try this place

My Inner Fat Kid was too happy! My only regret was my stomach got full. No favorite unlocked.

Amazing food. I have been here three times and ate a new dish and side each time. Everything I’ve eaten was amazing and seasoned well. The chef also came out each and every time I visited and asked if everything was ok. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and the mega waffle flight. This will be a go to brunch spot from now on. Bonus points for being black owned and operated.

All the food was great and it came out fast. Great quick spot to grab brunch.

My niece found this restaurant. The food I was told was DELICIOUS!!! The staff & service was EXCLLENT!!! Will be visiting again. Everything was excellent!!! 😘😀😀😀 Parking: Was able to park two doors down on the from restaurant. Perfect parking.

I love the brunchery!! The food is outstanding, and the service is awesome!! I eat lunch here every Tuesday. I enjoy seeing Mayo, Jose, Victoria and Chef Derrick. They are the best.

Visited from Maryland and Mayo was our server (of 10+ people) she was so patient and kind! Def ask for her.

Mayo made the experience very enjoyable she was amazing and extremely attentive.

The onion rings are really good!!!!

The food was great, the prices were affordable, and Asia’s service was polite and swift. Mr D the owner was present and very attentive to the customers all throughout the meal! I will def be back work my friends and family! PS - Try the purple grits, they were delicious!!

I’m a strong believer in customer knows best. However, the owner knew best. Food was absolutely nourishing and satisfying. The customer service was top tier. The owner’s story about the establishment is such an inspiration to a young chef like myself. Will definitely be back more and more. Parking: It’s hard finding parking if you want to come during the weekdays.

Went here for the first time this weekend to have brunch with my son. The food was top-tier. Drinks excellent. Atmosphere 10 out of 10. It’s a vibe. It took us a minute to get waited on, got complimentary drinks for the inconvenience . I have nothing bad to say about this place. Will absolutely be returning. The owner and chef came out, very friendly. Great place. !

10/10 fantastic! Our waiter was Gauli. He was amazing and sweet. He showed us his recommendations and we loved it. The Chef was very social with his guest and making sure we were taken care of. The experience, ambiance and food was top tier! Thank you Guali and Chef! Parking: Circle around you’ll find parking. Sundays are free!

Everything across the board was top notch. Gauli was my server. He was extremely patient with us and made sure to tend to our every need. I loved the jerk chicken Alfredo skillet, and the atmosphere was extremely inviting. The mimosas was exactly what I needed. I will be visiting again!

First time having brunch here the food was delicious the French Toast Flight was great our server Gauli was phenomenal he was very attentive, professional and made us feel welcomed I highly recommend having brunch here we will be back 10/10

Gauli was a great server . He was polite , he checks on us frequently, .He was very professional , and funny . I would give this place a 10/10 I highly recommend. Parking: Parking was hard to find but the food was worth it ..

Food was delicious, the staff was wonderful and attentive. The showed actual photos of their specials which led me to ordering a special for once.

Great music! Great food! Great drinks! And to top it off Gauli was amazing!!

Good times. Good fun. Good waiter. Always a good time

Everything was on Point!!!!!!

My friend and I came here yesterday for brunch and loved everything about this restaurant! The food was amazing, the mimosa flight was delicious and the chef/owner came around to the tables to check on the guests and chit chat a bit! I highly recommend The Brunchery and I'll definitely be back. Parking: Parking is free on Sundays!!!

The Brunchery has fire vibes, great service, AMAZING food, and an insanely good atmosphere. I promise I’m not a bot lol w/ the glowing review. It’s really such a good place to go for brunch w/ both friends and fam. Our server Gauli was on point. Highly recommend 🏽 🏽

Atmosphere is amazing!! Music is classic old school. Food is amazing!! I would recommend the Mimosa flights!!!

Food and drinks were amazing!!! Gauli was amazing, nice, and informative. Loved that the chef came to every table! I will definitely be back!

From the moment I walked in I knew it was a 10/10 . Honestly I don’t think it gets better than this . The service was so good I didn’t even care what the bill said . I got the cinnamon roll pancakes 10/10 jerk turkey sausage 10/10 eggs 10/10 Turkey bacon 10/10 loaded fried breakfast potatoes .The purple grits 10/10 and lastly the mimosa flights where soooooooooooooo good . Cotton candy is my fav .i give this place 100/10 from service and friendly staff to the food .

Thanks to Waiter Gauli the Service, Food, and everything else was outstanding!!! Definitely will be coming back again!

Maryorith!!! Thank you so much! I started my birthday weekend in Chicago here and she was an amazing server. She even showed pictures of their amazing specials, which I ordered from. The food was amazing. Our server was kind. Gentle. Generous. Genuine. I had the waffle Flight, Franny skillet, and Martini Flight, all of which I recommend.

I came to The Brunchery to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The food and drinks were great but what really elevated our experience was the service from Maryorith. She was so sweet and funny and we had such an awesome time kiki’ing with her. I had the bacon and mimosa flights, both of which are must haves. Pass on the biscuits and gravy and get waffles instead!

Maryorith was very nice and pleasant. She was welcoming and was smiling the whole time while doing her job. Nice place for brunch.

The Brunchery is One of my favorite places - the food is always delicious, the atmosphere is so fun and the service is great! Maryorith was our server and she was AMAZING!

Mimosa flight = chef’s kiss. Absolutely incredible food and service.

The Brunchery was great! Maryotith was great! She broke down the menu and was very attentive. Her personality and bright smile was welcoming!

It was a vibe, food was great and for the most part even though they were slammed they moved pretty fast.

Beautiful place!!! Friendly staff!!! And the best chef ever!!! Had ladies brunch date and chef came out to made sure everyone was satisfied

Beautiful place!!! Friendly staff!!! And the best chef ever!!

This place was packed on St. Patrick’s day but we were lucky enough to get in without a wait. The decor was light and humorous. Food was delectable. Service was great even though the place was full.

Amazing brunch spot with great service! I highly recommend their mimosa, bacon, and French toast flights

Amazing food !!!’

This place is good. Everyone in our group loved their food. Ths only bad thing to say is he needs a bigger place. They only have 3 tables to sit 5 or more. But the service and the food was so good. This is definitely a restaurant I will be visiting everytime I come back home. Oh and the prices are incredible for the quality of food you get!!

OMG!!!DELICIOUS. I had the French toast flight every piece got ate .fried was good and mimosa flight was on point. Cousin had crawfish benedict was aslo great. See yall next week lmao!!!!

Had the French toast flight with the maple chicken sausage and mimosa flight. Boyfriend had the skillet. The food was absolutely delicious. Seated right away, immediately got water, someone coming to take our orders, food came out without super long wait time. Absolutely will be back.

Great gem in Lincoln Park. Food is great, fun atmosphere and fun bubbly flavors to enjoy separately or as a flight! They don’t take reservations, but worth the wait if you’re not lucky enough to get a table right away.

Jamie our waitress was AMAZING❤️❤️

Parking: Get here earlier to park

This was a super fun place! The service was great, and the food was out of this world tasty. The food was so on point, I started with the sausage and then the hash browns, and then I got to the eggs (that were perfectly cooked) and my eggs were all hot WOW!!! My only knock would be too many tables in the dining room. It felt like we were on top of each other. Other than that, the place has a fun atmosphere and again the food was delicious AF!

I absolutely love this place! I took my mom and boyfriend for brunch and it was so much fun! Everyone was so nice, the atmosphere is upbeat, and the food and drinks were all delicious! Loved the mimosa flights and all of our skillets! A big thanks to the owner for creating a place where people can have a fun brunch!

This is such a fun brunch spot! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is inviting and warm. Healthy food choices too. The veggie I’m

Love this place. My hubby and I shared the french toast flight, chicken maple sausage and spinach/mushroom omelet. The food was fresh, seasoned just right and delicious. Arrived at our table hot and ready to eat...Yum!! Shout out to our server, Victoria...she was professional and attentive. This is our new go to place for brunch. Try it, you won't be disappointed!!!

(edited as I did not upload the accurate review or photos!) Mimosa Tower phenomenal Food *chef's kiss* The table location was extremely uncomfortable, But meeting the owner and have a casual conversation is top notch customer service. 10/10 recommend

The drunk can’t good but ing the food was and they give you a lot so it’s well worth it

I went for a brunch to Frances. This place is amazing. Cocktails are insane. I personally recommend the Espresso Martini. Food delicious and came out really fast. Service was great!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at The Brunchery!! We had a very large party and the service was top notch and the food was amazing!!

Meagan was the best Manager, great service and wonderful atmosphere

I forgot to write a review since I was enjoying my holiday off celebrating my birthday on Christmas Eve. My fiancé and I came here for brunch on my birthday and the food is tasty! Our waitress Jamie was amazing and provided awesome service 🙂 Big thank you to Jamie for making sure brunch on my birthday was fun!

The staff is awesome and the manager Meagan is the absolute best!

I love everything about this place. The dishes served takes creativity. And the food is DELICIOUS and flavorful.

Excellent food and service. The manager Meagan ensured that our large party was taken care of expeditiously!

One of my favorite brunch places.

Has a great time with the best service, everything was quick but really good. Nice vibe and even better when it’s warm out. Special shoutout to Meagan!

Now listen up!! In New Orleans brunch has become second nature to us and I'm a stickler when it come to what I eat. I have to say, this is hands down the best brunch I've ever had! We got the french toast flight, cajun omelet w cheesy hash, mimosa flight, and purple grits and shrimp. The food was fresh, seasoned and cooked to perfection!!. Thank you Ms Elvira for the great service and Chef Rylon for the unforgettable food! -this will always be a stop when I come back to The Chi.

Bravo Chef Derek. This is my 1st time here. I've heard the whispers about @Brunchery so I finally made to see for myself what the whispers were all about. Well let me say that the whispers should be yelling and telling to get over here to see what you have going, because there definitely is something magnificent going on here from the time you walk through the door until your food hits the table. I'm here on a Sunday and the people are damn near lined down the street. The food is amazing. The menu selections are eye catching, and the drinks never stop flowing. I would advise anyone reading my review to stop reading it and get here so that they can write one for themselves.

This place has it all. If you're in town with friends or looking for something a bit flashy/trendy with a home style breakfast menu this is the place you are looking for. The ambiance of the music will make you feel like you are at your favorite dive bar in Chicago listening to classics play back to back. They have options for everyone whether it's more breakfast forward or lunch forward. Menu can have some fancy options but some staples as well

Very small seating for a party of six. Food was very good.

This place is fun! The food is very tasty & creative! Purple Grits…that’s all I’ll say about that! The drinks are just as creative…Mimosa flights! The atmosphere is lively & vibrant. Parking is a challenge. The staff were pleasant & friendly. Location is long standing and somewhat cozy!

Everything is great ! Good service everything is a 10/10

Awesome place, great vibe, excellent service and the food was delicious. the General Manager makes us feel like home. We try the jerk chicken alfredo and no words to described. Also, the Recommended 100% you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything.

Delicious and very fresh. Not greasy

Great service, very friendly as well as the manager and his employees the food very good and very nice place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food and service. Get the cotton candy mimosas!!

Black owned great vibe the mimosas flights are very delicious! Great place to hang out with friend or brunch with family

Hands down great brunch, drinks, and great service. Our waitress was phenomenal. Highly recommended!

Solid brunch spot!! We split an omelet, skillet and egg sandwich. You can customize anything the way you want it. They have everything from french toast flights to biscuit and gravy to breakfast burritos to skillets. The mimosa flights are cute and their screwdrivers are great. They do get busy on the weekends but it is well worth the wait.

Best spot in Chicago

Amazing brunch!

I've been to this location twice in a weeks span, and the food is top-notch, as well as the services and the owner makes sure everything is right for you

Super fun spot with great food! The French toast flight with an espresso martini is a must!!! 🥞🍳🍸

This place is great. The service was fast and friendly. The food was beyond fantastic . The chef was very personable and came out to greet and talk with guests. If you're looking for the perfect brunch or lunch you should definitely try this place. You won't be disappointed.

Great food. Upbeat atmosphere. No wait.

You can't go wrong with Frances. Never had a bad meal here. Coffee is great too.

LOUD inside, somewhat loud outside, but otherwise, it was great!

This place is heaven!

Stopped in on a whim for brunch with friends. We loved everything we ordered! The buttery pancakes were my favorite and the service is very friendly. I highly recommend you visit. You will be not disappointed!

Just found out this restaurant started in 1938! You walk in and are greeted with upbeat music and staff. The chef freaking home-makes the sausage which is packed with flavor and herbs. Get a side of gravy to honestly go with anything - I would say it is slightly on the sweeter side. Once you order your dish comes freaky fast. 😀

The food was delicious, drinks were great!

Love the ambiance and amazing food!!

Great service and the food was good

The food was on point. Best brunch that I had in a while.

Wow. I truly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Delicious food. Amazing atmosphere. Champagne flights!!! You must go. ❤️

Really good food

We had a blast during a themed, old lady brunch! Great food, tasty mimosas, delicious food. The food arrived quickly!

I highly recommend Frances for brunch. We had such an amazing time. The food was great and the mimosa tower was very cute.

Love the food 😋

8/13/23 Food tasted amazing with lots of choices for your apetite. Our table ordered from the soecials menu... I had the Jerk Shrimp Alfredo Egg White Omlete and I would get it again and again lol. My friends ordered the Lobster Eggs Benedict and a healthy sized Chicken Wrap (can't recall entree name), both enjoyed their meals as well. Atmosphere is a little tight and noisy, but gives a safe and casual location to enjoy brunch with friends or family. Our server was attentive. The food selections were perfect. There was more on the menu I want to try and will be back. Great job to the Chef & Staff.

This is a sensational brunch spot! We came for a late Sunday brunch. The Wait Staff are patient, kind and full of character. We even got to meet the owner! The food was absolutely delicious. We hardly waited to be seated and for our drinks + food. Sit outside if you can and always ask for the Daily Specials. You won’t regret it!

Another amazing service our server Jaimeee 🏽 was very sweet even the chef bringing out the food was very very sweet. I am glad me and my children came here. They enjoyed the waffles. The atmosphere was amazing. The food was phenomenal and we will definitely be back. I have a burger. It was very good bacon and potatoes and waffles my babies head and they loved it.

I will definitely be back! We came to this brunch place for the first time for my friends’ birthday. The wait was not too long to be seated considering no reservations. The staff was friendly and our waitress Jamie was AWESOME. She gave recommendations on food choice when we asked and was overall great. The food was AMAZING. we had an array of foods choices from purple grits, jerk Alfredo omelet, veggie omelet and chicken and waffles. The purple grits my dish was so delicious and flavorful. We all had the mimosa flight which i really liked the green apple one. The atmosphere was nice a little noise but that’s usually how brunch places are so not a bother. I will be back!!!

First time trying a new brunch spot. It was delicious! Fast seating and the waiter was super cool. I got the Jerk Alfredo Chicken. I wanted to try something different and it did not disappoint. 10/10 would go back and try something else!

One of the best brunch spots I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned deliciously!! The mimosa flight was on point. I got the Benedict flight which did not disappoint!! My friends got biscuits and gravy, purple grits, and French toast flight. We all sampled each others plates and EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations. We all agreed that the purple grits deserved the #1 spot but everything else was just as good. If you’re in Chicago def hit this spot up!! In addition to the food, the service was impeccable!! Our server was Jamie and she was an absolute delight! She was very patient and helpful! PHENOMENAL!!!

Recommend: this is a solid place for breakfast. Will be coming here again for sure. I tried it 5 years ago and whatever was done whether it is the new owner/chef did a great job and a huge improvement! It can get loud in the space and a bit warm inside with the windows open, but the food and service is great. The mega flight of French toast tasted really good as well as the homestyle skillet as well. The mimosa flights also looked great, I left that for next time to try.

This was an awesome brunch expericence, from the service to the food! Everything was great! Will be coming back often for sure.

Amazing brunch spot! Me and my future wife recently visited Chicago for a weekend getaway and stayed at a hotel within walking distance to the restaurant. We walked through the amazing neighborhood admiring all the beautiful homes and just stumbled upon Frances Brunchery. There were other brunch options nearby but when we saw the wait, decor, atmosphere, and food while walking by I immediately put our names on the wait list. It was 100% worth the wait and far exceeded any expectations we had. I will definitely be telling anyone I know that is visiting Chicago that they MUST try Frances' Brunchery and We will definitely be back the next time we are visiting Chicago.

The servers are kind, the chef is amazing, and the food is delicious. If you aren't full when you leave, then you didn't eat enough. Bring friends and family and share plates, try everything, and make sure to have a designated driver. I saw the mimosa flight, and I will be back to try it.

How don’t they accept Amex? And there’s a 3% service charge that goes to the owner not employees, FYI

We had breakfast which was good. We were a little rushed because we had an engagement that same day. There was no wait on our food.

if i could give them 6 stars I would. everything was great, the food the drinks the service. The chef came around and spoke to every table introduced the owner to us (nice young man named Josh) waitress and other staff was amazing. Im so glad i picked this place for my birthday brunch!!

It was a bit noisy as someone else mentioned—but in a lively, exciting way. I had friends visiting and this was their favorite meal of the trip. We all agreed that it was the friendliest and best service we’ve all had in awhile. Shoutout to our excellent server Maranda!

So far, we love all the restaurants that we had experienced in Chicago .

This place is a HIT! The food is soooo good. Today, I had a crab omelet and truffle fries! My partner had regular French toast and an Alfredo chicken omelet. We also had the mimosas flight and picked our flavors. We had a good time. The manager today was so helpful, he suggested the crab omelet to me and, THANK YOU.... IT WAS SOOOO GOOD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Highly recommend this place.

The French toast flight is a must. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was giving good vibes.

This was our first stop when we landed in Chicago. Service was exceptional, as they even accommodated us with our luggage. Food was amazing!! Mimosas were good but could’ve been better if fresh fruit was used instead. Overall, I would recommend this place.

The atmosphere is so cute. Food is always great. Today I had waffle with scramble eggs. The manager always welcome the customer and the Chef is great at what he does. A nice place to visit in the city. A must see. A+ in my book.

I've been here for brunch on several occasions and always have a pleasant experience! The atmosphere is nice, the interior feels so cute and cozy. The food is really good and the portions are generous! The service is always efficient and friendly as well. One of my favorite neighborhood spots in Lincoln Park!

The absolute BEST restaurant for brunch!!!!!!! JAMIE and Rylon were EVERYTHING!!!! The Jerk chicken alfredo omelette is the absolute best dish!!!!!!! We came to celebrate our friends birthday and it was a grown woman experience and flavor EXPLOSION. WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

Food, service, quaint place, and did I say FOOD was on point! Great place can't wait to go back. Try the mimosas!

The food was amazing. Service was exceptional, I would definitely recommend this place.

My 9 yr old insisted on giving this place 5 stars! Great kids chocolate chip pancakes!

From service to food we have a great experience. The chef went around to tables checking on and thanking everyone. We felt very welcomed. The bacon and French toast flights were on point! Loved all the mimosas as well. I had the chicken and waffles which were very filling and delicious. I’d recommend this place!

Our experience was great from the beginning! We had a little bit of a wait but sat at the bar. The chef/owner is very involved and a fun time! Everyone is extremely nice and personable. Our server was Jamie and she was so sweet, fun, and professional. everything (food and drink) was amazing. We tried the French toast flight and it was amazing!

Me and my husband visited Frances once on our weekend getaway to Chicago and had to continue going throughout the whole weekend! The food is amazing as well as the service. We were able to meet chef Rylon and he seemed so excited to see us even though he didn’t know us. He proceeded to check up on us asking if everything was okay. We loved this place! Wish we had it back in Florida!!

French toast and mimosa flights are pretty good. I also really like that they use the handhelds for ordering and paying the bill. Makes it a lot better for everyone

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!! EXCELLENT!!! The owner is amazingly talented, smart, and kind. He shared his story and journey with my table and it was so motivational. The service was great. Great staff and great vibes! The food unbelievably delicious!!!! Drinks were perfect! Quick turnaround times…..one of the BEST restaurants I’ve ever been to! PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION OUT HERE IN CLEVELAND, OH.

Bomb af!

This place was a total highlight of our trip... My friends and I were able to meet the owner, get suggestions on food,friendly atmosphere amazing dishes. Everything about this was top-notch and I really hate if they don't have this across the globe.

The food was so good! I really enjoyed the corned beef skillet - super flavorful and filling. Also, there are a ton of mimosa selections (kiwi was my fave). And this place is adorable! I would definitely return.

Great food, great service

This place is wonderful, the food is great and the Chef is very personable. Had an awesome time

Peach Mamosa, chicken and waffles and a fajita Omelet. Took me to heaven. Love this place, always on point

The food was delicious. I had the jerk chicken alfredo omelet

One of our favourite spots in the city. Doubly so since Chef Rylon took over the kitchen. Batter & Berries' loss is Frances' gain!

Fun place with great food

I love the service here. The food was amazing and everyone was so nice and attentive! I love this place!!

Amazing food great service!

Loved breakfast here. Reminds me of Batter and Berries. Not sure if its the same owner. Delicious! Will be going back.

Get the mimosa flight. Thank me later 😉

Great brunchery venue ! A must-go in Chicago 🤠

This place is a neighborhood staple! It defines East Lincoln Park and for the city to give it problems is a disgrace. Every time we come here, we feel welcomed by the staff and we always leave full and satisfied. I bring every out of town guest here for Brunch and they never disappoint! Thank you for being an institution to the neighborhood and the city, we can’t wait for you to return😋😊😌

Great neighborhood brunch spot!

The food was awesome and the atmosphere was great.

Please be patient, they are short staffed with waiters. Food was excellent. Love the mimosas. It was a lil crowded tho

😋😋👍🏾 👍🏾

What an adorable little spot to eat! We all enjoyed all our breakfast and all tried many options!

Use to frequent this place in the early 90's while living in Chicago. Have been back a few times over the years.Love it!!!!

Great food, great drinks. Service staff was friendly.

They had the most amazing French toast I have ever had in my entire life. The waitress was so sweet and so kind my water never got empty and everybody from the Cook to the waitresses and even the people who wipe down the tables were just so genuinely nice and let me not forget the hot chocolate was perfect

Great place to celebrate a special day. Food was phenomenal and service was exceptional. We had 7 in our group and EVERYONE had an AMAZING experience!!!

One of the best places I have been for brunch.

You have to try the mimosa flight! Food was not as hot as I would like but it made up for it in flavor. Will definitely return. Parking: Parking is paid on the street, a little challenging find a spot on a busy Saturday morning but doable if you know the area.

Been going here for years and it's always been good.

This place always has the best omelette & pancakes and from what I saw, everyone else in the place was drinking mimosas. Certainly the toast of Lincoln Park.

Great food, Amazing Service!! I will definitely be back for another experience!!! Trust me you don’t wanna miss this!!

OMG I came here yesterday with my son and my fiancé. I just wanna say if your looking to try something new this is the place. The chef/ owner walks around engaging with the guests. He’s very welcoming and has great conversation. The staff is amazing. Very insightful when it comes to the menu. Everything comes out fresh and well prepared in a timely manner. In addition to how awesome the food was and the customer service . We even had the pleasure of listening to a live band play music for us while we waited on our food. I would highly recommend eating here. They serve brunch all day. 10/10 and they even have a reward program for you to join as well.

Awesome food and creative mimosas, maybe too creative sometimes haha

By far THE BEST cinnamon roll pancakes 🥞. The biscuits and gravy was delicious as well. Friendly staff and welcoming environment. There was a wait but the line moved quickly. Also, very appealing aesthetics.

Great food! I had dulce de leche strawberry crepes and my brother had caramel apple french toast. Presentation and taste was fantastic. I love a good loaded hash brown too, and the bacon and eggs were also cooked well. Only slight minus was the size of the caramel latte, but it still tasted good. Pleasant customer service as well, and nice bathrooms!

Super cute brunch place! Definitely gets really busy on the weekends but the location in Lincoln park makes it an ideal spot for brunch. The French toast was great and the service was really fast and friendly. It does get a little loud and a little crowded but still an enjoyable experience overall!

Loved their mimosa flights and the flavors to choose from. Very reasonably priced. All of the food looks delicious. It was really hard to choose. Recommend the jerk chicken Alfredo omelette, one of the skillets, or the French toast flight! Definitely deserves a visit whenever in Chicago!

Lovely little place on Clark. Delicious coffee and the food was incredible! I had the pineapple upside down cake French toast and it was AMAZING. Every time we're there, its always spot on. Highly recommend!

The service was excellent, the food was decent. The presentation amazing, it’s a nice quaint restaurant.

Frances' Brunchery in Chicago is amazing! The French toast flights, mimosa flights, bacon flights, tasty pancakes, skillets, chicken and waffles, or biscuits and gravy are all great! This underrated spot is really fun and has great food! You won’t be disappointed!

If you are in Chicago this is a must try for brunch! We got the flight of mimosas (cotton candy was my favorite), the French toast flight(all were delicious) and the bacon flight! I really liked the fact that the staff i very friendly and diverse. They made our experience memorable, and the chef is so down to earth.

Best place for brunch in Chicago! The food was steller. We had bagel lox spread that had a ton of fixings with it, which made it really fun to construct your lox bagel how you want it. My boyfriend and I each order an additional small stack of pancakes. You MUST get their pancakes, especially with fresh strawberries. We sat at their bar area which is first come first serve. The staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations. We saw and met the owner who was walking around and checking on everyone, he was very friendly and you could tell he loves his restaurant! I would highly recommend coming here!

The French Toast mega flight is a must try! Will definitely be back for it.

Had a great brunch while sitting outside

Excellent food. Negative is that it is very noisy. Excellent service!

Great food. Amazing mimosas. Service was top notch. Peanut allergy friendly.

I really like this spot. It's got a fun vibe and delicious food. Friendly service team. If you like mimosas, you have to go here.

We had lunch here today. I am happy to find that the food and drinks are still good!

Great experience here today on all fronts: food was delicious (although I didn't care for the potato pancake), service was great and was nice atmosphere! Would recommend and will be back again!

My partner and I experienced Frances’ for the first time today. What an outstanding place this is. The staff was friendly and so attentive. We shared the mimosa flight and LOVED each one-especially the COTTON CANDY mimosa. The French toast was to die for. We will definitely be back. I wanted to try so many different dishes and cannot wait to give them a try. Well done Frances’!!

They have great food and great service. I had vegetarian skillet.

the French toast flight is AMAZING!!! The cheesy hash brown is amazing. The place has such an incredible vibe. The owners are so nice and so accommodating, as well as the staff & cooks/chef(s)!! 12/10 ABSOLUTELY must see when you’re in Chicago ! Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat meat but there was plenty to eat there ! Parking: If you can get street parking it is a mere 25 feet away! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair ramps accessible

The second breakfast place that I like most in chicago.

Good breakfast place

I highly recommend this place!

Decor is super cute and the food is to die for! Servers were super sweet and friendly.

Went to this place by mistake but ending up not regretting it. Food and service were very good. Kids enjoyed coloring their drawing while waiting for their food to come. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and drawing papers

The flights of all kinds and the food is outstanding! Careful when ordering your eggs. Over medium is over eeeeezy!

Food, coffee, location, staff, everything was perfect! Will definitely come here again.

Good food. Nice portion sizes. Reasonable prices! Great mimosa flight and flavors to choose! Everything was tasty.

Just Amazing food, great atmosphere, mimosas Fantastic. Met the owner he was such a greasy hostess. This play be packed..FYI… worth the wait.

First time coming and the chef / owner was really nice .The experience was topped off by our amazing waitress JAMIE! She literally listened to everything we wanted and accommodated us the best she could and we all got exactly what we wanted. She was so patient and sweet! I wish I could experience her at more restaurants. Good and drinks were great as well! Definitely would recommend!

This place is a MUST!! The ambiance of the place is amazing. Also the food is a 10/10 presentation. I am definitely coming back here for more. 100% good portion size. I got the Country Fried Chicken and it did not disappoint! It was flavorful and crispy just how I like it. The eggs were great and the fried potatoes were good. My sister got the turkey avocado sub and it was delicious!!! She also got a potato salad which I’m not a fan of but she said they were really good and if you like potato salad she recommends it! My mom got the special of the month and it was chilaquiles and they were one of the best I have tasted with the eggs and grilled chicken was so good mmmm 😋 My nephew got some chicken tenders and fries. It also came with fruit and apple sauce which is a nice portion meal for kids. The place is a whole vibe. I cant forget the mimosas!! I recommend the Mimosa flight. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. It was hard to order because everything on the menu sounds delicious! This place was reasonably priced by how good the food was!! Don’t get me started on the customer service 🤭 Shoutout to Mayo for the service 💓 I definitely recommend this place for brunch <3

Jamie was our service and she has been AMAZING. She gave several recommendations and had a terrific disposition. Her attitude was so great while serving that we had to tell her. The food is also great. Customer service though makes all the difference.

Absolutely a great place to visit. The ambiance is very nice, a warm atmosphere of a diner but with an elevated feel. The service was really good and fast. They had only a few servers but they were doing their job so well (with a smile, friendly chat and fast). Above everything the drinks (bloody Mary and mimosas ❤️) and the food were amazing. The menu had everything you need for a great brunch. This is a place you can put on a permanent list.

Great brunch spot! The portions are big. 100% recommend the potato salad and mimosa flight, both very delicious. Amazing customer service by Mayo. 😊

I appreciate places like this, everything was good from the hostess to the food. Definitely be coming back again and again

Service was great! It was worth the drive. Our server was friendly she had great recommendations. Chicken and waffles were delicious.

Petite balade dans le quartier de Lincoln Park, c’est 01:00 pm et le ventre commence à crier famine ! Allez on rentre chez Frances (oui pour des frenchis pas très original je sais…mais finalement la serveuse nous a expliqué que seul le nom du restaurant était français donc ça va). En parlant de la serveuse, elle était au top ! La nourriture très bonne ! On s’est tout simplement régalé.

Caramel Apple French Toast was amazing.

Such a cute place. Came here with my best friend and her son. We both got a Mimosa flight and all the flavors were so good! Definitely having another girls brunch here!

Food was excellent the service was great good vibes👌🏾

By far, my favorite breakfast/brunch place in the city! I typically don’t eat breakfast… however, because of this place I will be craving breakfast all the time now! Great tasting food! Great tasting drinks! Beautiful atmosphere! The decorations are super cute; definitely French vibes 🙂 The waitresses were attentive and friendly. Most welcoming restaurant I had been to in a while! Highly recommend this place! 🙂 can’t wait to go back! 🇫🇷💯

We had the most delicious brunch at Frances! Tried the French toast flight and Alfredo jerk omelette - amazing. The French toast has the be the best I've had in a long time. Can't wait to come back!

The cinnamon roll pancakes are highly recommended!!! Their famous cinnamon roll pancake was the main reason that we came here for brunch and we didn’t get disappointed. The chicken was tasty, the waffle was good but I had better and the mimosa was ok. Great vibe and various options. Highly recommended!!

Brunch was very delicious. I tried a few dishes but the Reuben is my favorite. There are a lot of nice options for drinks like mimosas and a really fascinating looking wine order. There’s a spacious outdoor dining area and a beautiful open air indoor area.

Amazing from start to finish. I would give this place 10/10 if I could.

Extremely solid breakfast offerings. The atmosphere is really nice and welcoming. I went in around 10:30am on a Saturday and they were able to sit us immediately. Skillett was excellent, coffee was awesome (Intelligentsia), and the Bloody Mary was great. This is a staple brunch restaurant for sure.

We have been all over this country they have some of the best food we have ever had

Great food!

Had a great veggie omelet

Came for a little brunch date with the Mr. after a friends recommendation and definitely not disappointed. Our food was fresh and delicious. Our watress was absolutely wonderful. The decor was nice. I really liked that it was indoor outdoor feel. Would recommend this place for anyone. Next time I'm definitely getting the mimosa flights.

That food was so dang good. And the mimosa flight was definitely mimosa-ing. Top that off with great service and I'm a happy girl. Can't wait to go back

my omelet was perfectly done & delicious, the "porch" was a bit noisy (for middle-age ears due in part to street noise plus other conversations) but it was still possible to have normal conversation, wait staff was stretched a little thin so waits were a little longer than expected but my water glass and coffee cup were never empty everyone was friendly

The Alfredo Jerk shrimp hit the hardest!

Food was excellent! Tasty and sensible portions. I like to try different things like tapas style, so I enjoyed the flight of pancakes that had 5 different flavors. I also appreciate that their dishes were not humongous like other breakfast places. I've lived near here for several years, but for whatever reason, never been. And I'm glad I went, cuz I'm definitely coming back!

Very nice restaurants!! beautiful decor lot of windows, lot of options on the menu serve both breakfast and lunch. Awesome stuff 👏👌

Delicious meal and friendly service. Stopped in Friday afternoon, one of us had brunch (pancakes) and the other had lunch (turkey sandwich). Both were hot, tasty, and quick. Waitress was very friendly as were all staff. Atmosphere was nice. Can’t wait to go back!

Always great food and service. Love the corned beef and potato pancakes, French toast, mimosa flight!

I went there for lunch for the first time after living in the area for several years. The food was great and the service was wonderful. (You can tell that everyone strives for perfection.) My only comment would be to put some GF bread or GF buns on the menu, it would be a game changer for us non-gluten folk.

Excellent service excellent food but don't order the turkey bacon cuz it tastes like cardboard

We used to go here all the time 5-10 years ago. We really enjoyed the new look, new food options and great service!

Mi hija y sus amigas me llevaron a este agradable lugar.Muy atentas las empleadas y buen servicio..Cuando visite Chicago pasare por allí...ben

Loved this place! So many food options It was cute, the food and service was amazing! I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Chicago.

Service was excellent. Food tasty

Awesome chicken n waffles

Very good service, and great food and lots of choices

New chef and new menu. Nice staff, outdoor seating. All three of us enjoyed it.

Great Service. Fun and inviting atmosphere. Delicious and incentive food.

My new favorite brunch spot! Pros - Adorable atmosphere and cute patio -Were able to bring our dog on the patio and they brought her water right away -The staff was incredible. Every single person we interacted with was so friendly and upbeat. Our server helped us decide what to get and our food came quickly and was perfect. - The food was insane. We got the french toast flight, the bacon flight, and the chicken and sweet potato waffles which were incredible. -They were open on a Monday and sometimes its hard to find places open on a Monday Cons -None?? Parking was a little tricky (as it is everywhere else in the city) but we were able to find paid street parking close by on Clark

Great food always 😋

Good menu, great food, fantastic service!

Had a delicious brunch on Mother's Day. Great service and marvelous food - the flight of Mimosas weren't bad either 😋

Omg the tweets

The food was great and the Mimosa flight was excellent with the different flavors.

The food was great at the number 1 brunch spot in illinois I recommend this spot bring the family there. The food is cooked with love. . The service is great and that is a rare they check up on u to see how u are doing ...

Love it

Such a wonderful restaurant! The owner personally came up and welcomed us and the whole staff was so kind! We’re visiting from out of state and couldn’t chosen a better restaurant!

I used to live across the street and now I crave this place! Try the jerk chicken Alfredo omelet - delish!

Amazing selection of pancakes. Delicious sides. Great beverage selection.

Amazing food. Lots of interesting options from french toast flights to the most beautiful lox platter. My teen girls loved the look of the restaurant too very pretty.

Breakfast was delicious and worth the price.

Frances’ has an excellent brunch menu. We live in the neighborhood and have been a couple of times. There is so much more on the menu I want to try!

A huge menu! Food is always fresh and really good service.

Everything was delicious!! I like my eggs scrambled hard and most restaurants don't cook eggs how I like them so that was a plus. The Bacon Flight was different and I enjoyed it as a Bacon Lover. My mimosa was tasty as well.😋

Awesome place! Great place to support. The food is *chef's kiss* so so good. Very chill and cute atmosphere, excellent and chill service, not a long wait time even with limited capacity on a Saturday for brunch.

The food was amazing & fast!!! Allison the assistant manager was our server & was awesome!!! Next time I'm in Chicago I will definitely be back!!!

Tasty dishes and good ambience!

My 1st time here and I must say I Enjoyed the experience the staff was professional and attentive the food was good and there was plenty to choose from. The Mimosas flight is a must order

Great food and a fun place! Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, excellent mimosas and delicious food. The Corned Beef skillet was excellent and filling.

The shrimp and grits were delicious.

I am visiting from Texas and this place is very close to my AirBNB. The host was very nice and sat us immediately, and the waitress took our order quickly and was very attentive. The food was great and didn’t take long at all to get to our table. Great experience.

Good food! Good vibes! Fast service.

Cutest brunch spot! We wanted to try the chicken and waffles and skillet. Everything tasted delicious. The service was excellent! Very friendly staff and well-priced. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Chicago.

Food was great, and came out fast. Which is good because you only get an hour to dine in, lol. Overall, very nice place, would go again.

Had a wonderful breakfast here with my wife. She said the French toast flight was amazing. I loved my chicken and waffles; little bites of chicken in the sweet potato batter waffle. *chef kiss* delicious

This was the most delicious breakfast! Came here Sunday afternoon and was seated within 25minutes. Ordered the mega flight french toast, bacon flight (5 kinds of bacon) and loaded hashbrowns. Also had the mimosa flight. The french toast display was vibrant and super flavorful. I really like that they have a new flavor every week! Our waitress was really friendly and even the owner came around and asked how everyone was doing. I really enjoyed the vibe and love that it's a black owned establishment. I have already recommended this place to my friends and will be back very soon!

Great food, friendly staff amazing atmosphere. Mike W always makes you feel at ease and at home. Amazing management + amazing staff + amazing food = amazing success.

It was so good! We got the mimosa flight and I got the B.L.A.T sandwich. There was a wait, but it wasn't too long. Good service even though it was busy.

DELICIOUS 😫

This has to be my new favorite brunch spot. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere and food.

Everything is great. The French toast and buttermilk pancakes are so yummy!

Food is Excellent and the Service is Excellent also!!! I HIGHLY recommend getting the flight a French toast and Mimosa. I also had the Jerk Shrimp and Grits 🤤

Amazing food!

The food was delicious, vibes were really decent, staff was great and timely, atmosphere was open and fun. Everything is worth the price. Just make sure you get there early enough to get a spot and throughly enjoy food.

Great little brunch spot for anytime of the day !

The food was DELICIOUS!!!! The service was great, and I appreciated the chef being so attentive. I'll definitely be returning!

Great food service nice friendly people

This was the first brunch I ever had in Chicago and is still one of my favorite spots! I love the laid back, non-fussy atmosphere, and the menu has all of the classic brunch staples. They're usually a little busy and overwhelmed on the weekends, so just make sure you're not in any sort of rush.

I am on a journey seeking out the most delicious sandwiches, and just came across at least one winner!! I had one of the new specials at Frances’ Deli! Smoked Pastrami on challah: I went with the traditional route, Swiss cheese and kraut. Every bite was it’s own Foodgasm!! Be back soon for other variations, and a picture before I finish!!! Yum!

Really can’t go wrong here! Both their breakfast and lunch food is amazing

First time here today!! And I enjoyed every bit!! Everybody was friendly, our waitress was the best!! Food was amazing!! Can’t wait to return!!!

Food was fantastic. Atmosphere was great and the staff was generous and attentive. This place does not have much parking so I recommend car pooling if need be.

Chef is very creative. It was truly a visual and culinary delight. Some of the best food I have ever had in Chicago.. awesome.
