Best WLM Reviews

I'm originally from the 757 (Norfolk VA) and have heard so many wonderful reviews about this restaurant, but to experience it here in Chicago and on my birthday 4/15, was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the waitress was so nice and attentive, the service was beyond a 10+ I would recommend this location to anyone looking to have a delicious breakfast or brunch. 10s across the board!!!
We made a quick stop at this spot for breakfast on our way to Diversey Harbor. Friendly service. It seemed like the people working were all friends & got along well, which is nice! Tasty breakfast food- you can tell that the guys in the back kitchen were working very hard. It seems like they have a busy takeout/delivery business for breakfast. The food was good and so was the coffee. The only exception was the cinnamon roll which tasted like it was at least a day old. The awnings outside definitely need a cleaning and brightening up, that would make the place look much more inviting. I’ll go back!
I do not recommend the cinnamon roll. Dry and basically a muffin with a little icing on it
Let me start out by saying our server was great. She was nice, personable, and attentive.
Now, let's get to the food. I had a basic breakfast. Something that was pretty difficult to mess up - eggs, sausage, potatoes, and pancakes. Yet, my potatoes were half cooked (as in, they still had a little crunch to them). Everyone at my table reported the same issue. The pork sausage was dry. I've never had a dry pork sausage before today. I ended up getting bacon as a replacement. It was nice and meaty. We did let the server know about the potatoes as we were about to leave. I think the cook(s) need to be retrained (because I don't care to see anyone lose their job). I LOVE breakfast food, but this Yolk location was a miss for me.
It was okay. Funny mildew/dirty mop smell at booth. I had the Eggs Benedict. I substituted crispy bacon for Canadian bacon-bacon was good. Hollandaise was watery and had too much lemon. I had the breakfast potatoes. I did not enjoy those. Taste like they are from frozen. My companion had the French Toast. Large portion was served with syrup and powdered sugar. She enjoyed it. She was missing a fresh fruit garnish. Coffee was good.
The food is a little hit or miss. Croque madame is great, the potatoes are wonderful, the crepes were underseasoned, and the grits were watery. great staff, very cute restaurant
The banana bread french toast was to die for! Service was friendly and we got seated quickly.
Ate here twice in a row because we loved it so much! The breakfast mac and cheese was gooey and delicious, the French toast was also sweet and delicious. The second day I had the eggs bennie capreese which was also super yummy.
