Difference maker: The fruit and vegetables were noticeably fresh.
by John F.
The breakfast menu is superb and check out the wide selection of lunch items while you're at it! The atmosphere is very open, sunny and welcoming. The employees are just as sunny!!
by Jamie J
Standard breakfast place, but very popular; be prepared to wait for a table

According to breakfast, pork is the most delicious animal.
by Philip C
Sweet potato hash, eggs scrambled soft, pancakes and coffee - what do you think? Good 'er no?
by Jeff B.
Surprisingly very good coffee
by Neel B.
If you are in Chicago, you must have your breakfast thier. Also, I would recommend you to set in the bar so you can enjoy how they prepare the orders 👍😀

Great breakfast food!
by Billy v
It was alright but there are much better places in the area. Service was quick though.
by Anik P
The egg benedict caprese is a good choice if you prefer an alternative without meat. On Sundays try to go there before 11 AM - otherwise it'll be really crowded.
by Catherine Punkt
There French toast is really good! But their Benedict caprese was outstanding, the fruit was fresh and succulent even in the winter time.
by troy deering
Pro tip: go to this location instead of Streeterville! This location is much less crowded and just as good
by Austin W.
You are going to get an omelette, preferably the iron man omelette, with banana bread french toast on the side. Also, a freshly squeezed strawberry orange juice to quench your thirst.
by Andy Tao
Try the Caprese Benny. It's amazing.
by Joseph B.
Muy bueno! Los huevos benedictinos están de lujo
by Daniel L
Really yummy breakfast, large selection of choices too. Was packed so get there early.
by Sarah B.
Not the best eggs benny I have had to be honest. Hash potatoes were a little under done. Staff were slick and polite though.
by Sarah B.
Love this place!
by Ashley H.
Gotta get the Orange strawberry juice and bring your own champagne! :)

Good place, but never order coffee here. It was the shitiest latte in my life.
by Anton P.
For the love of God, have the Tour De France.

The Farm House is a mountain of biscuit and gravy goodness
by Andrew S.
Breakfast quesadilla wrap is a true treat. Make sure to add avocado.

Boasts a huge menu and the best eggs Benedict in the city.
by Catriona H.
I love going to Yolk. Good food, fast and friendly service.

by Joseph B.
I love this place!
by Mike S.
The Eggs Benedict rules.
by Dane D.
Battered meal with fruit topping is the only way to leave Yolk sunny side up!
by Kevin M.
Can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. But if you want a little bit of everything try the combo with eggs, bacon, sausage & a waffle (try their specialty waffles with it).
by Frank G.
If you get grossed out by a dirty kitchen don't look behind the line when you are paying. Clean as you go people!

Eggs florentine...delicious!

The waitress bullied me out of ordering corned beef hash.

by nope ..
Amazing food, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff all make this a wry enjoyable experience that I will definitely recommend and revisit

Wait was long and in my opinion not worth it. Breakfast wasn't anything you couldn't get somewhere else
by Philly G.
The South of the Border Benny is great but beware...it's spicy! Service was great.
by Christopher
By far my favorite breakfast spot in Chicago. They have incredible omelets that come with great sides. If you're feeling like something sweet, try the cinnamon roll French toast. It won't disappoint.
by Nina N.
I liked the funky shaved ice cubes and the citrus salad was actually surprisingly good for a breakfast spot!
by Emily B.
Coffee wasn't that good.
by Edward B.
Avoid the coffee.

by Elyse H.
Skillets are amaZING!
by Chelsea C.
The coffee is delicious. If you use the French vanilla creamer on the table don't use sugar too!
by Len K.
When ordering a wrap remember to ask them close the ends like a burrito or it'll be all over your plate
by Chellz
what??? red velvet French toast! :)

Line goes quicker than you think on a Saturday or Sunday, and it's worth the wait!

by Stephanie A.
Red Velvet French Toast can be ordered as just a slice to share - perfect for just a few bites!
by Katie R.
This place seems to not be able to hire a competent hostess. Most of them are rude, short, and generally unpleasant to speak to.
by jamie y.

BYOB for mimosa brunch--closest liquor store is 2 blocks down on the corner of Clark & Chicago. How grand!
by Christina M.
great food! Order French toast combo ( comes with 2 eggs, bacon AND sausage). OJ is really good too. My only knock on this place:bad coffee.
by Marco H.
If you stay at Affinia Chicago and ask for a business card when you're heading to Yolk...it acts like a reservation: No Wait!
by Stephen e

Bacon waffle and eggs! Nuff said!

by Myra R.
They let you have eggs AND pancakes. NO LONGER MUST WE BE FORCED TO CHOOSE AMONG THOSE WE LOVE!
by Baratunde
man, do I love this place! Right around the corner from work, great salad and friendly service.
by Alyssa S.
Surf + Turf Benedict is great if you're hungry. Choc chip pancakes are decent
by Eric D.
Incredible food. I just went to the Wells location for the first time today and it was definitely good...but nowhere near as outstanding as the MI Ave location is every time.
by Jeff J.
Just had breakfast at Yolk on (chicago & Wells) very good
by Dye N W.
The orange bread French Toast is amazing.
by Marco M.
Steak skillet, multiq:rain pancakes
by Michael K
The farm house and the Benedict with chorizo are good, although chorizo is fake. Corned beef hash not so much. Coffee isn't bad, and the quality of fruit is ok.
by Sidharth K.
I just had breafast at Yolk on Wells Street. Man, the Waffle & siade of Bacon was just what I needed to get my day off to a good start.
by Chris V.
