I just ate at this place for the first time and it was delicious. They have a good burger and fries. Also, if you’re looking for some dessert, they have a tasty cake. Belmont Snack Shop is a nice little neighborhood diner which is great because diners like this one are starting to disappear. Belmont Snack Shop offers great food at great prices. The service is great and the waiters are friendly. I’ll definitely go back soon

If you are hungover or just in need of a quality cheap breakfast then this is your place. Go and over a lot of food and when the check comes it will be less that you were expecting. I have only tried their breakfast but it keeps me coming back for more every time. There isn’t a whole lot of seating but every time I’ve got my group hasn’t had any problems getting a place to sit. Enjoy!

If you’re got a hankering for some good old school diner grub and are in the south Avondale /north Logan Square area look no further. Seriously the southern breakfast is where its at. 2 biscuits and sausage patties smothered in sausage gravy with 2 eggs its fantastic. Not fine dining for sure just good simple food. With all the«haute» diners around sometimes its nice to go to a real one and this the neighborhood’s finest.

This is a great diner. My husband has been a fan for years, but I went for the first time last weekend. I had an excellent cheeseburger that was huge and really inexpensive. You can tell this has been a long-time establishment in the neighborhood. We will definitely be going back!

This place always has the best cooked food. I’ve been here many times and the food is always delicious and cooked to order right in front of you. It is an old-time Chicago food gem, a typical mom n’ pop type restaurant. Little seating, but the wait is usually not a problem for us. It’s open 24 hours which is great and the food is priced well. For two meals and 2 coffees we spent $ 22.00. The staff is always friendly and make sure you enjoy your food.

Two blocks from my house? You better believe I’m here all the time. I usually come on the weekends for breakfast. They are open 24 hours so you can say i’ve stumbled into this place at odd hour sometimes as well. Breakfast is definitely my favorite though. I usually always get the same thing which is the two biscuits with sausage and gravy but their omelettes are also huge and delicious. Very old school diner feels, great atmosphere and great staff! It can get pretty packed on weekends and there isn’t much seating so beware of a little longer wait from time to time.

Solid no frills greasy spoon diner. If you’re looking for a fancy brunch the Snack Shop isn’t for you. Their breakfast is as good as any greasy spoon around, but faster, cheaper, and with better staff(granted there are only two of them working at a time). The waitresses are always polite and responsive, and the cooks are impressive to watch. It’s kind of like going to a hibachi without having food thrown at you or having to look around table of people you don’t know who want to talk to you. This is a small place with limited seating, so don’t be a jerk and show up with more than four people. With that being said there has always been a place to sit when I go, which is often. I’m only giving it four stars because it is a greasy spoon, if this site was only rating greasy spoon diners it would easily get five stars.

Let me start as I can see why this place has several good reviews: They’re open 24⁄7 and they cook the food(average) right in front of you, and it’s decently priced. However… On to the cons. I’m not very picky when it comes to eating seeing as I’m a 26 year old male who likes to get late night drunk food, but I’ve been here probably 6 – 8 times total because it’s the only diner open around me. ALWAYS leave a tip, which seems to go unnoticed because I’m writing this review as I’m sitting in here and having a horrible time! First off the lady taking your orders is completely rude and disrespectful. I simply asked what comes on their western omelette and she just gives me a devilish look like I should apologize for even asking. By the way, they’ve messed something up with my food 5 out of the 8 times! And that’s being generous. Even though as I’m watching the man cook it somehow something always goes wrong. Anyways, I guess all I can say is if you’re completely hammered and don’t mind being treated like crap when you’re spending your hard earned money on them, then by all means go for it! LOL Rant over, but long story short I know these guys are working hard but I expect a little more I guess.

Boyfriend and I love love love this place. The staff is super friendly & the food is so good too! We’ve come in here sober, we’ve come in here drunk & this place never fails to satisfy us. I live for their onion rings & cheeseburgers. If you want food made with love, come here.

This is another place I just find myself at a lot because it’s conveniently located for me and open at all hours. The food isn’t anything special but it’s still good. I always just get the mozzarella sticks because I’m a boring vegetarian, or the Mac & Cheese which is a little bland but I still eat anyway. My boyfriend gets the BBQ burger a lot and says it’s really good. The staff is always really friendly.

This is my late night go-to diner. Nothing special, but If you’re hungry late at night into the wee hours of the morning, the place is amazing. Tip them well!

I’ve had so many different things on the menu and I can tell you all of them are delicious. A great spot to hit up after a long night of drinking or even working. I even sometimes order to go and pick it up. Do yourself a favor next time you go, get the brownie. You will not regret it.

Love this place. Down the street from my condo, open 24 hours, best brownies in chicago and the servers are awesome. Great diner feel and the food was great. CJANDCARL are the best cooks. One server is kind of rude to some customers but I try not to go there when she’s there… But the others are awesomesauce! It looks dodgy but most dodgy places are the tastiest. Recommend 100% great food, great pricea. Their coffee is effin delicious.

I love this place. I’ve been coming here ever since I was little. I’ve still come here through the different owners and subsequent name changes. Great«greasy spoon» restaurant. Old school in every sense of the word. Café-style seating, cash only, old school register. This place has got it all. I always order my favorite and staple omlette with potatoes. So good. Great comfort food. They have everything from the biggest burgers(with the delicious grilled onions) to pizza puffs to a great meatloaf plate. Also open 24⁄365. Holidays included! Great after hours spot, especially with bars down the street open till 4 am! Btw the pancakes are the size of the plates. There’s no such things as side of pancakes.

When you imagine an old fashioned diner this is what comes to mind. The food here is good(not great) and you can see the line cooks preparing it in front of your very eyes. We came here at 8:00a after a long night out. It was one of the few spots open and I’d return in a pinch.
