Eleven City Diner

Eleven City Diner is EXACTLY what I need on a Saturday morning!

I work a few blocks from here, and my staff and I sometimes get a gigantic carry out order of brunch/lunch and assorted awesomeness.

I've never had a problem requesting substitutions or making slight changes to our order. They're quick to put it together, and always get it right! Love love love.

I am a real estate broker that specializes in south loop mostly across the street at 1111 so I frequent the restaurant and have always had excellent food excellent service and such good food for at a fair price!!!

Wow, what a tasty treat!

Came here in the middle of the summer on a rainy day.  It was an odd hour for lunch (I think it was around 2PM?), so there was no line and we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

It's a big, New York-style kosher deli, and beats the hell out of what I have available back home.  I was really hungry from schlepping around the streets all day with the kids, so I went a little out of control.

I started off with the Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese fries, easily the best cheese fries I've ever had.  The fries were perfect and fresh, and the cheese sauce... I didn't know whether or not to eat it or rub it on my body.  It was so good, and I could feel my arteries clogging with each yummy bite.

Also, on the scale of going a little crazy, I chose a draft beer and a chocolate malt.  Because this is America, and I can.  Great chocolate malt, didn't even have to tell them I wanted it with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, they already knew!

For my entree, I went with the "Number 24", the most decadent sandwich humanity has ever conceived.  A corned beef and pastrami sandwich with chopped liver as a condiment (that really happened) and swiss cheese.  I couldn't eat enough of that sandwich.  I considered leaving my wife and kids for that sandwich.  I started to lose sensation in my extremities while I was eating that sandwich.  When I woke up from my daze, everyone was just sort of staring at me.

Really vast menu, lots to choose from for both deli, lunch, etc.  And they serve beer and liquor.  If I lived near this joint, I'd probably weigh 500 pounds.
