This is a new spot in the area and what a great addition it is. The service was great, and very attentive. The food came out quickly and cooked perfectly. The milk shake was delicious! I really like the look of the space too, very inviting. I highly recommend this diner. I will be going back very soon!

Cinammon roll was delicious...smelled so good we didnt even get a photo and only realized after I inhaled my half. Coffee is more blonde and light which is nice for sitting for long periods. Seems like a lot of UIC students come to this spot to study or for Saturday/Sunday brunch. Staff is nice and helpful. Good sized seating for a big group or a bar if youre a single. They probably do need someone to seat people as when I walked in there was a single person and a couple in 2 of the 3 six to eight person booths and since it was empty other than them at the time I grabbed us the 3rd large table because it was by a window and had good light, and then suddenly a lot of big groups started showing up and they had to squeeze into the 2-4 people booths which I felt really bad about. Will definitely be more mindful next time. Food was good quality but sometimes lacking on a full flavor. We had the spicy chicken sandwich but felt the sauce was overly sweet and the meat of the skillet needed some extra omph. Overall I had a pleasant experience and will come back.

Great diner with an old school ambiance that brings you back to the 40s.Great food followed by great staff.

Upscale, retro, cool place. Thank you bad traffic on my way to the Jesse Brown VA, missed my traditional breakfast stop. In between appts and did not want to lose my space so a short walk.The waiter recommended the Woodsman Skillet; hash browns, filet mignon, bacon, mushrooms and topped with 1 egg. I opted for a 2nd egg. Was served within 6 minutes. Eggs were fluffy over easy, filet had a good flavor. Bacon was thick and not crispy, nice light apple wood. Mushroom were fresh and full size. Coffee was good too.This skillet would fit in a deep woods, rustic setting just as well in the city.A new restaurant and I wish them many years of success. Well done today.

Truly a hidden gem of Chicago. Amazing foods that is not only tasty... but incredibly creative. The price is also really good considering the how amazing each dishes are. The aesthetics are awesome too

Great restaurant in the heart of Little Italy

Oh my goodness, I love this place. My youngest son took me here. I love the 1960 feel of the place, I ordered the shrimp and grits. When I tell you I was in heaven the minute the food touched my tongue. Check this place out if you are in the area, but they close at 3pm.

Great Food!One of the best spots in the area! really nothing but great experiences here. Everyone at our table was very satisfied. Looking forward to coming back with my friends. The burger is absolutely delicious!

Great food - we had the egg sandwich, the veggie garden skillet, and avocado toast. They were delicious, the perfect portions, and a good value. Plus, the staff was very friendly and attentive . We look forward to returning for the pancakes and waffles.

The burger was phenomenal. The fries are just as I like them. Almost identical to McDonald fries. Thin, crispy and tasty. We were given free peach cobbler as they just opened and the owner is very welcoming. Everyone was warm & helpful. I cant wait to go back for breakfast and try their specials. I am glad there is a new spot in this location as it adds brand new appeal to the neighborhood. We wish them best of luck! We cant wait to go back tomorrow for more!

This place is great! Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Everything is organic and home made. Try their pies and cinnamon rolls. Anything you order is delicious!

I invited a friend to Claremont this morning for breakfast. It was our first visit. We both loved the ambience, especially the cleanliness of this eatery. My friend had a vegetable and American cheese omelet, and I had a ham, goat cheese and veggies omelet. They were both delicious! The sour bread toast was great. For me the coffee was slightly weak, lacked oomph, my friend had three cups. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely return.

Ill definitely be back. Great food. Burgers served with pink unless told otherwise. Kitchen is pro. Very eclectic feel, retro. Very clean. Only open til 3 which is fine by me.

Food was delicious. Service was great! I had the patty melt and split pea soup and it was so good! Definitely coming back.

Its so tasty. service is consistently above par.

I come here for the shrimp and grits at least once a month. The contemporary take on diner food and ambiance hits the mark for an easy morning spot with great food. The staff is always warm and welcoming - a worthwhile place to be a regular.

If I could give this place another star I would. Claremont diner opened up a few months ago and we decided to give it a try. Wish we would have tried it sooner. Place was adorable, food was delicious and Loren our waitress was super nice. My boyfriend is very hard to please and wouldnt stop talking about his carnivore skillet and how great the music was playing. I had the salmon omelet and it was delicious. We also had the cinnamon roll. We will he back!

First time here, I was pleased with everything, Very Good service, GREAT FOOD. I will be back. Its everything you would expect to get from a diner and so much more. Standard Diner food fused with Gourmet cooking. Techniques and additions to old time favorite dishes that have been embellished in a way Im sure you will love.

We love everything here! Weve been here twice and our food selection was great each time.I recommend the cinnamon roll. It didnt look like much, but we both agreed that it was great. Ive had the french toast twice also. Once again, not much to look at, but it tastes great. French toast is my breakfast go to, so for me to say it is good...then it is good!The place has a diner look and the staff is very friendly. The place is super clean. Weve been able to get a seat easily at this place each time that we have visited. I am sure once enough people try this place, there will be a line to get in.The portions are not too larger that you stuff yourself, but they are enough that you are filled.This is going to be part of our regular brunch rotation. Quality food at a good price.#letsguide #brunch #breakfast #chicago #diner

Excellent diner, tried both lunch and breakfast dishes amongst our party. Service is good, decor is well done, and most importantly the food tastes delicious. Only downside is the poor ventilation, airflow was lacking.

I’ve been coming here a few times a month with my lady since it first opened. It’s a total gem here. They have the absolute best shrimp and grits in Chicago. Highly recommend!

Delicious food and a friendly staff. We both had the Monte Christo. The sandwich and fries were both fantastic. Im so happy to have this addition to the neighborhood. Cant wait to try more of their stuff.

My omelette was burnt and hashbrowns was under cooked. Only plus was cook was friendly and place looked cool. It had a vintage look to it.

This was a very nice surprise new to my neighborhood. Good service, excellent breakfast and affordable prices.

The bacon and French toast was very good but the buttermilk pancakes was flat, doughy with a strange taste. I didnt like the pancakes. The service was excellent.

Claremont Diner is a great new addition to the neighborhood. So far Ive gone to the opening event and then returned that weekend for brunch. The burger, pancakes, bacon, chocolate shakes, and soft serve ice cream are all amazing!

Immaculate. Great service and great great breakfast food. The Belgium waffles are perfect and omelettes as well. Recommend.

OMG!!! An absolute MUST GO!!!! Owner is a great guy food is absolutely amazing. Great vibe. Definitely worth going to.

Woodsman skillet was delish, wife loved the country fried skillet. Homemade strawberry jam was also very good

This is great food at a great price with excellent service. The guys are chill with a cool vibe and the burger is great! Give it a try!

Great limited brunch menu. We had biscuits and gravy and a skillet. Good sized portions and cooked with care. Well be going back to try more

Great new place on Tri Taylor and w wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Our first visit was for a light lunch. Only issue was when we asked for some lemon wedges for our water and they told us they didnt carry them. Thought that was an odd thing not to have available in a restaurant.

Had a great first experienced and was really pleased, but as I went back I notice the food is inconsistent. The sundae have had brown bananas, cherry pie has funny flavor, and the soups are sometimes bad. Food sent back still gets charge.Sad to have to change this review, I thought this was a hidden gem.

Love this place. Great food, menu, service and ambiance. Great addition to the neighborhood!

Friendly staff, great food, impossibly cute decor. We enjoyed the cinnamon rolls to start.

Delicious buttery crunchy Grilled Cheese with split pea soup was amazing.

Perfect down home diner feel with big city food options. This has been a great addition to the Tri-Taylor neighborhood.

Love this new diner. Telling everyone about it. Has a cute French vibe.

This spot was pretty sweet. Stopped by for lunch-time breakfast and got the eggs Benedict and hash browns. The hash browns were super crispy yet not dried out. The yolk was still runny which was great. Wish they used Hollandaise instead of Bernaise though--the Bernaise lacked flavor. The slight acidity of Hollandaise gives it that extra special kick. Great customer service. A bit on the pricier side but Id definitely come back.

What a great addition to the neighborhood! Wishing you much success!

Excellent little diner. Creative dishes!

Great food and staff. My favorite breakfast spot currently.

Love biscuits and gravy and fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls

Grilled cheese was awesome. These kings asked me how I want my bacon... treating me like the queen of England.

The shakes are worth the extra star I gave! Its a cute place with vegetarian/vegan friendly options.

The food is disgusting. I ordered a waffle and a garden omelet to patronize the new restaurant. As I was eating both the waffle and the omelet had a foul order. I forced myself to eat the food since I wasted $20 on the food. I had to stop at the second bite of both the omelet and waffle at once because it didnt taste good, and the odor from the food was destroying my appetite. Unfortunately I had to throw the food in the trash because I felt like eating the food was torture. Im never going back to this again.

Amazing retro style diner. Great food!

Great food, good service. They need a few more sides, maybe veggies...

2nd time there. Still feels like they are ironing out the kinks. But definitely a place to visit again.

So cute and great food and service.

Stale breakfast, undercooked pancakes, had the runs the entire day. 2/10 would not recommend.

Lovely staff, great food, and wonderful ambiance

Very comfortable and bright,nice place to eat breakfast.And the food is great, and so is the service.

Always a great meal when I eat here. So glad it opened up in the neighborhood

New place in my neighborhood. Great first experience.

The decor was adorable the service wonderful and food delightful!

Service is slow , food quality is good

Love the fresh food, friendly staff and the delicious humongous cinnamon rolls! Can’t wait to go back!

Great breakfast! Super friendly staff!

The food is excellent and the ambiance is like nothing else in the neighborhood. The Claremont Diner is a gem.

Great service, excellent breakfast.

Great breakfast and lunch served open to close!

Great food and fast service!

Great food! A little overpriced but still good

Amazing Food! Highly Recommend!

Enjoyed the whole vibe and foood

Upscale food and service

Hash browns were cold. The rest is ok.

There is no business ethics, I rounded off the bill to $30 and I was charged $32.5, God knows why.The bread was had as well for the knife to cut, so is the bacon.Hash browns were bland and tasteless.

Tastee breakfast ☺

Comfortable, neighborhood, joint
