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😋😊😌 read less

The food was awesome and the atmosphere was great.

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!

Is alright

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

Such a cute and delicious spot! Blueberry Crunch French toast was delicious. A friend ordered the French toast flight (pictured) and loved it! Plus the awesome mimosa flight (pictured: strawberry, creamsicle, blood orange, and orange). Would certainly recommend!

Went for the French Toast sampler, which was such a cool idea to try their different staple flavors. Their mimosa flight just wasn't it (loveddd their Dragonfruit, but thought their Orange Juice + Grapefruit was ehhhhh).

Not too crowded walking in around 9am on a Saturday morning with plenty of seating, so would recommend a try!

Might not be my fav spot, but worth tasting for myself. read less

Once we entered the door, we were welcomed by the hostess who sat us down immediately. After having to squeeze into our seats as the tables were too close to each other, we scanned the QR code and the experience began. We had Victoria as our waitress and she was very professional and attentive. We started with the various Mimosas. I was a little disappointed that 2 of the flavors I wanted were not available at the time however the flavors we decided to try did not disappoint, Its time to order and let me just say the french toast was EPIC!!!! I ordered the flight and MY GOD.....YUMMMYYYYY!!!!! Everything we had was flavorful and really enjoyable. We stayed there so long they cut the lights off as the staff was ready to go home. I will most definitely come back again to experience the food and drinks. read less

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

Good breakfast place

The food was delightful and definitely was a great new brunch place to check out! A bit short staffed and brought the wrong drinks and then charged for them. Happens but overall a great experience!

A cute little place I found on tiktok, parking was eh...not easy as expected. Food was delicious! Mimosa tower was decently priced, waitress was attentive & helpful I will be back but not during peak hours lol

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

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 read less

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

Love this place it's my go to! I always get the shrimp and grits turkey sausage and mimosas

BEST BISCUITS & GRAVY IN CHICAGO...been comin here for years, everything on their menu is fire + you gotta grab a mimosa flight

The food was very good and reasonably priced (seemingly a rarity in Lincoln Park).

The wait was long and they do not take reservations so be prepared to wait around/ explore the neighborhood if you come during a busy time. Though, they did only just give us 5 minutes to return... luckily we were nearby but I feel like that timeframe is a little too short.

Service was very fast once we got in. It is a smaller space and may not be good if you want a sense of privacy; we were nearly sitting right next to our neighbors and could hear almost everything they were saying. Very loud during the busy part of the day, but it quieted down the later it got. read less

What a lovely place. Staff was great and very helpful. The atmosphere was cute. Food was awesome.. I had a white omelet with chicken, broccoli , toast and hash browns. With a Mimosa tower.

The was a wait but it was not very long. The inside is too loud I could not hear my friend next to me. Our table was switched to outside part. Our food came out very fast. It was also good.

I came just for the Mimosas absolutely love them, they change them often so I'd like to go back for the new flight to try

The cinnamon roll pancakes and the latkes were amazing. On the other hand our truffle French fries were cold (the aioli also didn't taste of truffles at all), and the bacon flight was pretty gross (also mostly ham and not bacon?). I think if you order the right things this would be an incredible brunch, but just note not everything on the menu will be 5 stars. Also the service, though super friendly, was really sparse. We had to get up and find someone to order and to ask for the check. Fun vibe inside (though very loud) and dogs are allowed on their screened in patio which was awesome! read less

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. read less

Everyone's brunch was delicious and our waitress was very accommodating! After reading reviews of some brunch places near where we were staying, this one seemed to have the best variety on the menu. The Mega Flight (which is what I got) was perfect. It let me try every flavor of French toast and the French toast of the week which was white chocolate raspberry. Another person got the Great since '38 which is a simple breakfast with eggs, bacon, and an English muffin. Will definitely return here if I'm ever back in Chicago!! read less

First time there. Food, service, outstanding. Pretty darn noisy, and with live band got really loud, but at least they tried to have real music. Loved this place. Will absolutely go back.

I can't count how many times I've had the pleasure of brunching at Frances's but each and every time the food is always so comforting and mouth watering satisfaction. My only reservation about France's is that they don't accept reservations (pun intended). The window for hours of operation is 8-2pm and on weekends it gets really busy and you can expect long wait times. You have to check in with the hostess to be added to the list upon which they will text you when your table is ready and available; you have a 15 minute window to make it to your table. They also have outside seating for the people who don't mind dining outside while passerby's and onlookers huddle around while they wait to be seated. Also in the past couple of summers there has been an onslaught of bee's that dominate their outside patio area, so much to the point sometimes it becomes hard to dine and enjoy your meal. During Covid there were table time limits which I didn't care for at all. After waiting 90+ minutes it was somewhat rude and a little disheartening to be informed our dining time would be cut short because the establishments closes at 2pm. We were a larger party group and not to mention it was my mothers birthday. Outside of that and the long wait times on weekends France's still gets 5 stars. The hostess, servers, manager even the chefs have come by to acknowledge our table as we dined. The food is great, the workers are fun and informative and France's just knows how to do breakfast. As you can see my favorite is the Jerk chicken Alfredo omelette :). I love the French toast flights and how they are constantly changing the flavor of the week, always a delectable surprise. The mimosa flight is good although there are some flavors are prefer over others. The shrimp and grits are good, my only wish is that there were maybe a couple more shrimp for the price but overall France's is my first thought when I think of brunch! If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting on? read less
