Great brunch spot in a good location. My friend and I had brunch here at the start of September, weather was great so we ate outside. The restaurant has large indoor facilities. Staff are friendly, and food was good. portions are good too. Filled me up for the day. Will return.
Awesome brunch! We stopped here the other morning and had a great experience. The space is really big with multiple rooms so we didn’t have to make a reservation or wait thankfully. The service was fantastic and very friendly. I had the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of ham (both delicious). They also have iced coffee and cold brew options, perfect for a hot summer day!
Were from out of town and Nookie in Edgewater was our favorite place to eat . Now that its closed we will frequent OLD T. Large portion of food, nice atmosphere and service was great. Parking is a challenge but the location is beautiful to walk in so overlook that part.
This place serves better as a breakfast, lunch and brunch place, was amazing how they were able to accommodate a party of 11 on a Saturday with short notice, especially in a location like that! Menu its a little short, but can serve any palate, but the service was great, check them out if you are in the area
Excellent food and service. Deliciosos chilaquiles!!
The best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. I absolutely love the hint of cinnamon in them.Great prices and huge portions
Excellent neighborhood eatery. Staff very attentive, food was served quickly and the restaurant was clean and inviting. We went for breakfast. Food was excellent. Best coffee!
Stumbled across Nookies when I got caught in the rain. I ordered Huevos Chilaquiles and it was so delicious that I went back to Nookies that same week for their Greek omlette. This place is a hidden jewel.
Just like it sounds, a little nook just perfect to enjoy a meal. We visited for breakfast. We didnt have anything out of the ordinary but the meals were large. We did our best but still had plenty leftover. We enjoyed our visit, our experience was nice. The place was bustling but the service was still quick. Worth a visit.
Great diner experience and we had a great conversation with the owner.
Service was great, food was good. We got sat in the back room which was kinda weird since there was no windows, and decor was very plain. Vibe seemed better in the front room.
Excellent service and great food in a clean and welcoming atmosphere
Large portions and nice staff. The atmosphere is a little too quite and very plain diner. But if that is what you are looking for then its perfect.
Got the corned beef and hash. Delicious food, prompt and helpful service, and a delightful atmosphere. I would go again if I was in the area. Five stars.
Fabulous Eggs Benedict! They even replaced my Canadian bacon with Cornedbeef hash! The sauce was magnificent!
Super cute little cafe in a great location. The food was good overall. Rubens were great, but the crepe was subpar. The service was fine, but they forgot silverware. When I asked the host for some, he only brought one set when the rest of the table didnt have any lol! Other than that, it was a nice experience. Not too expensive for the area either.
Wonderful outside space, beautiful setting. Very quick service and good food.
First time at Nookies Wells...was pleasantly surprised...food was outstanding and the service was terrific...would recommend highly....
Foods are large portions, tastes good
In our many years of going here, always satisfying. Price is good and quality of food is excellent.
Nice staff and good serviceEggs and potatoes had no saltJuice was goodNo cappuccinoWas busy and people are happy
Fast service, good food and prices are ok. the owner, I think, was very kind and did accommodate our table request- thank you! portions are rather on the big side so you get a decent amount of food vs. money spend. its a bit of an old school dinner but its great if you want to experience where the locals are hanging out👍🏼 check it out!
First time at this place today. This place is so dirty and grimmy. The floor had food all over it from full pieces of bacon to mustard. The server spoke so fast you could hear anything he was saying. The food was below average. Will not be back! Messed up my boyfriends order. They were not that busy. Will definitely not be back. Nookies in Edgewater is beautiful and the service at that location is top notch! So disappointed! This location was just closer to take my man too. Oh well..
Staff was nice and service was quick. Food was really good! Would definitely come back again.
Crepes and omlettes were great!
Great corned beef hash.
The staff is so kind and warm. Some of the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had for breakfast. I can’t explain it
This place is so GOOD! i love their french toast trio sampler and i love their huevos con chorizo !! add some cholula to that and it’s elite! 10/10 recommendation for anyone either visiting chicago or just in the area! is a nice vibe not chaotic at all
Phenomenal, dog friendly neighborhood restaurant.
Sooooooooo Gooooo! The food, service, decor, and atmosphere was amazing. Friends of mine took me here while I was in town since it is their “go to spot” and I can see why!! If I lived in Chicago I would be in there everyday. I had the crab cakes and they were amazing and competitive with coastal restaurants!!! Go here if you live here or your even just driving through!! It will be worth it, I guarantee!!
If you like the most basic diner food and good drip coffee, you should go to Nookies. Definitely not my favorite, but good quality food and very nice staff.
Great place for brunch.
Food was alright, nothing peculiar that would make me want to return.
One of my fav locations for quality american food. Dont worry if its busy, it is worth the wait. This place has a nice atmosphere. Not close to my job, I wish it was.
Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and service. Will return soon!😊
Always a fantastic breakfast
Service was excellent, as well as the food. I had the Spanish Omelette with Hashbrown, with Sourdough Toast. It was absolutely phenomenal, one of the best Omelettes Ive had in a very long time.
Very good and delicious. Will get your money worth!!
Nookies is a spectacular diner and a staple of the Old Town neighborhood. Its a casual spot to get great food for a good price and the service is amazing. I would come here all the time with my dad when I was young and it has always been a tradition for us. The blueberry Belgian waffles are a personal favorite. Legendary diner!
Came here while on our honeymoon. My husband is from Illinois but I’m from the south, this was like a little slice of home! The low key diner feel, great food and AMAZING breakfasts. I miss this place! Not everyone is friendly all the time, but that’s anywhere. Great atmosphere and great food.
My fav spot for tasty American food. i love it here. the bill was fair for the quality of the food. food is similar to a cafe in indianapolis i loved.
Good Breakfast, loved the chicken sausage.Right price for what you get.
Nice scene for American food. This place has an awesome atmosphere.
Delicious. Good service.
Nookies is a really nice place for brunch. There is plenty of seating inside or you can sit outside. The coffee was good and plentiful. We had the french toast with raspberry sauce and easy over eggs with hash browns and sausage. Both meals were quite large and delicious. It was very busy when we ate here and the service was excellent.
A neighborhood stalwart I could not be happier is back to its old self.
I love the community vibe I get from this place. If I was a local I could see myself eating here daily. This place is family owned. Not fancy, but really good food. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and potato soup. The sandwich was really good and the potato soup was one of the best I have ever had. Also, the customer service was really good.
This place WAS the best. They reopened this past Wednesday so I took my wife and sons for a very needed breakfast trio (plum pancakes mhm). The place looked new (and nicely done) but I only recognized 2 faces, the rest of the staff was new. I asked and was told that it was under the same ownership and management.That has to be a lie, because the service and food were horrible. There was no longer the coveted weekend breakfast specials and the menu was condense significantly.I asked for a milk 3 times for my son and never received it, never refilled our coffee, the egg preference was incorrect on one dish as well.The food items themselves were just lackluster (chilaquiles and eggs/toast), and all of this on a restaurant that is HALF full.I hope that the either the old management kick it into gear or this new management learns what made Nookies great, but as for me I will NEVER be back there so experience it.
Great breakfast place
Great staff and find!
Good food and service!
Good breakfast grub
Have always loved this place. One of my favorite breakfast / lunch places in Chicago. Tuna melt is my all-time favorite but Ive probably had (and loved) the entire menu.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, its all that & more. Always a good consistent meal. Breakfast is fantastic. I love going there in the evening and having the corned beef hash, wonderful. Dont think about it, just go eat there! My reviews are for the best of the best. Like & Share.
Went there for a brunch on Sunday, and the food is very mediocre if not awful. I got frittatas, and the texture of eggs tastes like napkins. Definitely over-priced for the quality of the food at least for my visit, but it is reasonable for the portion. You may find some chain restaurants could serve food in a similar level.However, I did feel cozy and nice vibe there, which raises the rating from 2 to 3.
Very quick service, food was delicious, and you get a lot of food for the money. Server was pretty no nonsense, so she seemed a little abrasive. But, they did run out after me when they found that Id forgotten my sunglasses. 😎
Classic homey diner located in old town. Great view of some nice Chicago building and a road with mild traffic. Though I mostly go for breakfast everything I have had has been amazing and I am sure they carry the standard through the rest of the day! Stop in and eat while on the north side!
Staff nice, food is sub-par
Delicious
Went on a slow Monday morning. Happened to have 3 different servers, ask for our order before we were ready and settled. During our meal our coffee was never refilled. No one was walking around checking that, even though there was a lot of restaurant help this day. When we did get a refill after paying, the new coffee in our cups was not hot, just warm.The service was absolutely nothing special, which is frustrating because the food was actually, not worth being there for really at all. I have had better biscuits and gravy at free hotel breakfast. Sadly, their was no flavor in the gravy and the crepes that I had were as thick as pancakes and they were so saturated in icing that I literally had fear of turning diabetic.This dining experience left me feeling deflated, and wondering to myself what the true highlight of this nook is. I feel, that the convenience to residents in that area and the lack of other food choices around that specific area, are why this restaurant has shined thus far.
Fantastic great food sourdough bread was good.
Really cozy and friendly staff. I went with a couple of friends during a time where it wasnt so busy, and we stayed for about 2 hours. The food was actually better than I expected it to be.I personally went with the crepes per my servers recommendation, and it was indeed worth it. Some of the seats are slightly awkward due to the way the flooring is, but thats a minor thing that you wont notice after a while.Definitely worth visiting at least once, definitely worth a second visit from myself. Go. Youll enjoy it.
Amazing place to have breakfast. We decided to eat here and it did not disappoint! We had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious! Everyone was friendly and the service was fast and wonderful! Highly recommended!
Had breakfast here two days in a row. The food and service were great. The prices seem a bit high but maybe its reasonable for the location.
This place is wonderful for breakfast! Delicious food (the sweet cheese crepes are fantastic- and the Denver omelette was also tasty!) and very prompt & friendly service. Fun to BYOB as well. We will definitely make a point to come here every time we are in Chicago.
Great breakfast place if u can get in or find parking.. Great food! Needs just a lil more friendlier welcoming ambience in the new host. Otherwise, an excellent place to get a wonderful breakfast or brunch..
Too slow
Interesting and unique specials in a traditional diner setting. Excellent service. Busy but seating moves fairly fast.
I once loved this place but was sadly disappointed by my recent visit. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Our water glasses were dirty and we mentioned it to the staff. They brought us new ones but the new glasses were also dirty. I ordered the French Toast, supposedly made with brioche bread. French toast should be rich and creamy, especially at a breakfast place; the French Toast I was served was dry in center, completely unsweetened, tasted like can white bread and cooked without butter or salt. When we mentioned this to the waiter get said that it was special order brioche despite the fact that it wasnt (Im a baker). They didnt even take it off the bill or offer to get something else. Very disappointing.
I come to Chicago once a year to visit a friend and enjoy some good sports. Nookies is the only restaurant in the city I consistently return to. Their food is amazing, staff is friendly, and they serve great coffee. I highly recommend Nookies if you are visiting or in Chicago.
Efficient and friendly service, great traditional diner food and nice atmosphere. Although it would be nice to see Nookies up their sustainability game and stop using disposable plastic straws to drink your OJ and packaged condiments 😊
Great breakfast food thats worth the price. Plus the waiters are polite.
Went on the recommendation of a colleague while visiting Chicago and absolutely delighted I did. Friendly service, buzz of people but still space to sit without waiting.However unequivocally their greatest point is the food. I tried the seasonal special of pumpkin and cinnamon pancakes, and this is the closest of any food Ive ever eaten to melt in the mouth. A little plate of heaven, I cant recommend highly enough!
We ordered crepes combo and skillet and they were delicious
