If you're a fan of this place and want to keep it that way, quit reading now. My family eats all over Chicago. We have two little girls, seven and three, who are very polite. If they are not, one of us will leave the restaurant with one or both kids. We do not impose on our fellow diners, religiously so.
So, we were completely taken aback and surprised when our little family was recently kicked out of Flying Saucer for a.) telling the waiter the dish he brought for our seven-year-old was not what she ordered, and, b.) telling him politely he'd brought the wrong dish. She had ordered the special French toast, reading it off the specials placard, even mentioning how much she liked mints, especially with chocolate. Easy enough.
But when they brought our food, they brought her a limp-looking, misbegotten two pieces of French toast. We politely told the waitress who brought it and she took it and headed back to kitchen. He took it from her, shaking his head and acting like a child, brought it back to the table and shoved it in our faces, saying "She was holding the menu when she ordered it!" We politely responded, no, she was holding the specials and said it very clearly. He repeated that she was holding the menu and did it in an incredibly rude way, again!?!? At that point, my wife and I both called him out for being rude, at which point he snatched our plates off the table and we got up, put the girls' coats on and left with both girls sobbing for absolutely no reason.
Also, when we first got there and one of the girls made a peep, he cranked the music up to near maximum, making it uncomfortable to sit in the room and making it very clear that FAMILIES ARE NOT WELCOME AT FLYING SAUCER. I see from looking at the other reviews here that this was not an isolated experience. I will never go there again and suggest you do the same.
I love this place! I have a very particular and often times annoying diet. Flying Saucer has ALWAYS accommodated. The waitstaff is very friendly and really helpful. I mean every single person who works there is awesome. The food has always been so delicious. I must admit that I tend to order the same thing every time, vegan breakfast burrito. I order it every time for a reason. It is super delicious and packed with real food! This time around I ventured out and got the vegan pancakes. I haven't had a pancake in well over a year. They were delicious. So delicious that I took them home and force fed every bite into my mouth immediately after I walked in the door. Only reason there aren't 5 stars is because it's cash only which I admit is a selfish complaint.
Review Source:Always expect to be very full after your meal here. At least if you eat what I eat.
My favorite thing is the trucker bowl full of biscuits and gravy, eggs, ham, home fries, and scallions. Yum. I also love their roasted red pepper sauce and pancake specials. Â
One time I had the fried chicken and waffles special and the chicken was seriously omg. So good I ate it nearly a year ago and we still talk about those nugs of deliciousness.
I wish they took credit.
The waitress was super nice. Cute place to eat, yet the food wasn't anything special. I had their dreamsicle pancakes, but I've had way better pancakes. The orange was really harsh and potent, but not in a good way. Nothing made me want to go back and try more food. I'm sure they have great food, I've only been there once, but I just have no interest in going back.
Review Source:Got several recommendations to hit this spot up from various friends after moving to the neighborhood.
I got the benedict with ham and mixed greens, which was sort of an overambitious attempt at integrating a few too many individually tasty components (artichoke, mushroom, and spinach) resulting in a soggy mess of taxonomically distinct components which might have been best kept segregated. The value isn't glorious-- we spent about $50 for three people and I was full but not terribly satisfied or impressed.
Coffee was awesome. I will probably go back and may update my review accordingly.
We ordered the tofu sweet potato hash and it was soggy and bland. The mixed greens were wilted and slimy so of course I politely asked to exchange them for the spiced apples, but was given serious attitude by the server (owner?). Very disappointed with the interaction but it sounds more common than not based on some other reviews.
We also ordered the flying breakfast bowl with vegan chorizo. The flavors were ok, definitely the better dish of the two. Bottomless metropolis coffee is nice on a cold morning. Overall, there's better breakfast joints.
I have mixed feelings about flying saucer, that said, the best way to describe my relationship with this diner that's in my hood,... It's complicated.
I love the vegan options, I have never been disappointed by sweet potato and tofu scramble or the veggie sandwiches, I love the veggie Reuben!
The coffee is excellent, and I really appreciate that they conserve water by leaving a note on the table to request water from your server.
However, I work in the restaurant industry and I have never had a friendly server at Flying Saucer, I could just be coming in on off days, or maybe it's part of the whole diner/hipster aesthetic of the place, I'm not sure, regardless,
I will be coming back for some vegan pancakes soon! and you should too! but don't forget your cash!
I felt like I was in Portland. One, because Portland does brunch better than any other city I've ever been to. Two, the cast of characters eating looked the part (I'm talking about you magenta hair-colored lady). The food, of course, was delightful and filling. Â That has already been well-covered by other reviewers. I just wanted people to know that this is a little slice of the Pacific Northwest in Chicago.
CASH ONLY!
This place was talked up in my office. Â Maybe it was over-hyped? Â Or maybe this place is just not for me.
We were there on Sat afternoon. Â They said a 20 min wait but I think some people took off so we were seated quickly. Â The service felt odd. Â The second we sat down they asked if we knew what we wanted so I just said a water. Â My boyfriend wanted decaf coffee. Â He said they didn't have decaf but could give him a decaf americano. Â
My water came 1/2 full and w/o ice. Â I mean if you're going to give me water why not go all the way with it?
The vibe is hipster which is fun even though I'm the opposite. Â When the guy came back to take our order I asked for veg sausage biscuits and gravy w/ scrambled eggs. Â My boyfriend got the egg sandwich medium with chicken sausage. Â The bill was $25! Â I saw on the menu the bagel and cream cheese is $6.95. Â Ouch.
We waited for what seemed like a very long time for our food. Â They refilled my water just before it arrived. Â To be fair I saw a big table that was ahead of us.
My food was not hot. Â The eggs were a little runny and not seasoned well and the biscuits were hard. Â Hard biscuits can be ok if you have enough gravy to soften them but I didn't have enough. Â My boyfriend's sandwich needed to be eaten with a fork because the eggs were very soft.
Maybe we ordered wrong but I can't bring my self to order one of the bowls. Â It seems too starchy! Â I think I'll leave this one to the hipsters.
I like Flying Saucer! And really...who doesn't like brunch right?
Flying saucer is easy in almost every sense of the word....it's close to (my) home, its laid back and it serves a darn good decent brunch.
*Almost is the key word because....they only take cash, and of course it's inevitable that whenever I'm in the mood for Flying Saucer I don't have any cash on me (ggrrrr atm fees!).
Their coffee is delish, and for $2 a person is bottomless - can't beat metropolis.
It's BYOB - helloooo to my own personal bottomless mimosa's
As for the main event -
- I've had their cheese grits twice, for some reason on my second visit I wasn't as thrilled with them. Maybe it's because I'd been perfecting my own version of Paula Deans recipe at home. So here's my conclusion, if you can make it at home (and better) don't order it out, so I won't be anymore.
- I was impressed by their Eggs Benedict, it was pretty unique. Eggs benny topped with baby spinach, mushrooms, artichoke hearts w/ red pepper sauce ($9.25). You also have the option to add ham ($1.50).
- Breakfast Burrito...meh. Kind of dry and I personally found it boring ($9.50). Maybe I should've gone with the option of adding chorizo($1.50) or organic steak($3.25) to liven it up a bit.
- I'm DYING to try their quiche but it's apparently a hot commodity and is sold out the past 3 times I've gone...waaa
Here's my thought about the service -it's nothing frilly, there's no production. They make sure you have everything you need and want but don't expect any "chatting up" or any sort of banter...which in my opinion isn't bad thing but may be a turn off to others. I come here to hang out with friends not the waitress so that's just fine by me.
One more tip: get there before noon to avoid the hipster lines.
Food is good but not worth a 40 minute wait and the attitude is too much. Just because I don't look like I live in the hood and I'm older than any one else there, no need to be so rude. Both our server, guy in bike shorts, and hostess acted like they were doing us a favor to even let us in. My younger friends felt the same way. Sorry.
Review Source:I've been coming here every sunday now, except when i have to leave town.. And i feel like every sunday i come, flying saucer just gets better and better. I LOVE the biscuit and gravy. YUM!!! Next time i come here, I have to remember to take some home :P service is always friendly and prompt and we never have to wait any longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Amazing! I love you guys. We'll see you on sunday :D
Review Source:This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Chicago. Â It's a small quaint restaurant is always busy on the weekend. Â We were fortunate enough to catch it on a slow Monday and the food is still good as always!!! The portions are huge for the price. The coffee is amazing, the food is great, and so is the service.
What to try:
Flying Sauce Benedict
Bagels of Champions with a side of lox and capers
Yogurt and Granolas
Flying Breakfast bowl
Coffee
Warning: It's CASH ONLY!
What a cute lil diner!
This spot has retro decor and awesome music playing. I went here with my little one this morning and so glad we did!
As soon as my little one got situated, our server came over with two little toys for her to play with during our meal. Â Love it when a place is so welcoming to the little ones!
I ordered the Breakfast Sampler for me and the little one to share. Â I chose the apple sausage as my meat and wow was that good! Â It also came with 3 silver dollar pancakes and they were fluffy and had a slight sweetness to them. Â My little one all 3 of them in record time!
They serve Metropolis coffee here and also have a small selection of pastries to choose from.
Our server was really friendly and I had an overall good time as this cute little diner in Humboldt Park. Â FYI-Cash Only!
Love this place!
I lived down the block for years and the long lines for weekend brunches kept me away but then I started going in weekdays and getting the breakfast Sammy and amazing Metropolis Coffee and this place became one of my favorite hang outs in the hood.
Wonderful place to bring a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
Lots of hipster chicks buying their pathetically skinny and broke boyfriends breakfast with daddy's credit card, and groups of fun neighborhood people make this place hip, cool, and relaxed all at the same time.
CASH ONLY Baby!
The service here was sub par at best. The waiter was neither friendly nor attentive. After being seated he avoided contact for a good 15 minutes before even coming over to us, keep in mind this place only seats roughly 30 people and there were probably only 9 other people there.
Upon coming to the table to "greet" us his pretentious  demeanor came off super condescending when he asked what he could get for us, as if we were inconveniencing him.
The food was decent but we weren't even asked how anything was till after we were both finished. Then it took the waiter another 10 minutes just to bring us the bill after we had asked for it.
Long story short, I do not know if the waiter had a problem with us or if he just didnt like the idea of hustling for his money, at one point he blatantly responded with a "NO" Â to a group of men who showed upon their request to add a seat for friends showing up. He even told them he wouldn't return to the table till the last person got there, as if they might not want something to drink while waiting
I should note that I am a bartender and a server for the past 11 years, and this was by far the worst service I have experienced in a long time. For the sake of saving your brunch seek other places.
As much as I appreciate a health and environmentally conscious place, I just can't overlook bland food and over poached eggs. Â
Went here last Saturday morning at about 10:30 and were able to be seated immediately, which was a nice perk. Â As we were leaving an hour later, these were about 20 people mingling on the sidewalk, so we must have gotten there in the nick of time. Â
I had the sweet potato hash and hubby had their regular hash. Â Mine was very bland, tasteless and there was nothing runny about the eggs. Â Nothing. Â Served with burnt rye toast. Â Hubby's hash was a little better, but also somewhat tasteless.
Wish we had a better experience, but will not be back.
I've now been here twice, and cannot manage to look passed the breakfast options. The Breakfast Burrito is choice, and if you're super hungry consider taking down the Trucker Bowl. Â No matter what you choose it's likely to be pretty tasty, especially once it's paired with their nicely strong coffee.
A weekend brunch visit requires waiting for a table, but there were seats ready for 4+ when we stopped in during the middle of the week.
The only beef I have is the service can be a little pokey. Â But hey, who's in a rush for brunch?
I live in the neighborhood, and proximity is always key for a weekend brunch spot.
To that effect, it's good and is featured frequently in my rotation of brunch spots. However, the service usually leaves a little something to be desired (they are not very friendly and are very much sticklers on your whole party being present, even when not crowded, before sitting at a table).
The food is really good though (Trucker Bowl - delicious hangover cure). I also really like that they give you an option of breakfast side - spiced apples, mixed greens, or typically home fries. I love spiced apples and don't often see them as a choice.
It gets a bit cramped/crowded during weekend brunch but I think it's a great neighborhood spot and worth checking out if you're in the area. Particularly if you're vegetarian/vegan - they have a lot of options for you!
The neighborhood raves about this place. I gave it two tries and the employees where stuffy each time and the last time they where down right rude. I understand they are a small business but when my wife and I went there and brought our friend they treated us like we were trash. My friend was late and after we reserved a seat, since our friend was not around they reluctantly gave us a seat. They moved us three times after giving us our drinks then made us stand until our friend arrived. Then they acted as if we were rude. we were polite even though they were rude and they still acted like we were a nuisance. Never again. The only reason I gave them two stars is that their food is really good, but not worth the rudeness.
Oh, I think if I were a hipster they might have treated me better. So dress really hip!
I have since went back (I live down the street) I have discovered that the employees are just very temperamental. One or two of the waitresses are pleasant, but that does not make up for the few who are EXTREMELY rude. Again their food is good but we constantly leave there disappointed at the service. We (my wife and I) want to like the place, but we won't be going back after our last experience.
Dined for Brefast: Â Sat Jan 21 2012 (At husband's recommendation, via foody, Brittney Peyton from Chicago's Best)
First and foremost, I was highly disappointed in my omelet, as I could have slapped meself 100 times, right there at the table, for not asking how the omelet would be prepared,  because I'm so not a fan of omelets that are prepared like a pita sammich; the egg being the pita and the ingredients (tomato, spinach w/stems and mushrooms), just layed on top and then the egg folded  over.  Furthermore, I ordered a side of ham and instead of it being served separately, it was chopped up in my omelet, EEK; I do not like meat in me omelets.  And NO, I don't want to have to put the effort in "just pickin' the pieces of ham out".  Our server apologized and brought me "a side" of ham.
Red potatoes - 4 stars (yummy)
Service - 4 stars
Coffee - 4 stars (my only concern is that the uncovered creamer cup had "particles" floating around in the creamer).
Biscuits - 1 star (too thick & doughy) - What was you talmbout Brittney Peyton? Â We both ordered 2 biscuits to go, just to try 'em out, and........
Living in the Humboldt neighborhood and loving brunch would seemingly make Flying Saucer an automatic favorite, but unfortunately at this point I never want to go back. Â The problem isn't with the food, atmosphere, or the "cash only" status, it's with the service.
Twice I have been served by the same man, and both times it seems like he has a personal issue with my table. Â The food has come out as ordered and in a timely manner and tasted fine. Â But simple service points are totally absent. Â
Last time, I got the wrong drink and when I attempted to explain what I wanted, he didn't listen and got aggressive. Â This time, he was mostly absent and got weird when I asked for condiments and added a fruit cup onto my order. Â After that, he avoided our table for a solid 40 minutes, going so far as to avoid eye contact while proceeding to refill every other cup of coffee and water in the place. Â He sat around four tables, took their orders, and gave three tables their checks AFTER clearing our dishes. Â We sat, just waiting to pay, for over a half hour. Â I even got up and went to the counter to pay, realizing it was a lost cause to wait for the check or the opportunity to ask for it, and he pointedly ignored me. Â He hugged and kissed a friend, took the orders of a table right next to me, and ran two orders all while I stood there.
I like the food, and as a server I am willing to understand and forgive most errors, but I am not willing to put up with open aggression and terrible service.
There is nothing finer than an awesome brunch diner.
I have eaten my way through this little Humbolt Park gem from top of the menu to the bottom and back again and I love it. I would highly recommend the place to all who are on the fence, but beware... it's not a large place, and they only accept cash.
Let's go through a quick run down of the experience.
We went on a Sunday, at about 1:30. Â So it was busy, which is 100% understandable. This place is small. Â We waited about 30 minutes, again, no big deal.
I ordered the "Flying Saucer" bowl with steak. It tasted fine, but the portion was a little small for my liking. Please note, I'm a big man with an equally big appetite.
Keep in mind, this place was recently featured on "Chicago Best", so a lot of people are coming here for that reason. (I was one of them).
For two people, with coffee, a side of pancakes and bacon, it was about $33. Â Not cheap, but I know organic and homemade is always extra. (Although given the prices at some places in Chicago, $33 for two people is a steal.)
Don't kill yourself getting here, but I would say give it a try. Â There are many other dishes they have that looked pretty good to me.
OH, AND CASH ONLY!!!
Ahhhhh, what else can I say about Flying Saucer other than the fact that it is my favorite brunch place in Chicago?
The food is delicious and fresh-tasting, there are vegetarian/vegan options, my coffee mug is never empty, the environment is cozy and artsy, the owner/manager has a cool accent, and I can buy a carton of cage-free eggs after I finish my brunch.
P.S. Cash only, people.
Arguably one of the better omelets around town!
My hungover and crabby ass sauntered into Flying Saucer at noon on a Saturday and we were seated within about 2 minutes. Â Good to know there's a brunch spot out there without crazy-long wait times. Â Totes necessary when you're tummy is rumbling and begging to be filled with eggs and carbs to soak up whatever you were drinking the night before.
The menu at Flying Saucer covers the bases well. Â A build your own omelet section, egg dishes, french toast, pancakes... all the usual suspects. Â It's a good variety and truly everyone should be able to find something they'll like.
I went with an omelet with chicken apple sausage, scallions, cheddar and tomatoes. Â What you usually get with a diner omelet is all these ingredients chopped up pretty finely and mixed into the eggs. Â At Flying Saucer you get these ingredients left in fairly large chucks and just nestled inside the eggs. Â Kind of like a plain omelet with the ingredients placed on top and then the rest of the egg portion folded over. Â It was kind of cool because I had BIG pieces of chicken sausage (YUM) and tomatoes to work through. Â The whole thing actually eats more like a scramble due to the size of the omelet ingredients, but who cares? Â It was tasty as hell.
The one star was lost with lack of beverage selection. Â I like a nice, fountain Diet Coke, but unfortunately Flying Saucer only offers bottled, local sodas. Â NOT Diet Coke. Â Sigh. Â So I also ordered a cup of coffee, which tasted kinda burned. Â I also wasn't even offered a coffee refill. Â It was just kind of lame on the beverage front.
Drinks notwithstanding, I really enjoyed my brunch at Flying Saucer. Â You KNOW I'll be back for one of those luscious omelets soon!
If Flying Saucer were closer to me, I'd be there every weekend, maybe Saturday and Sunday.
Alas, it's a 10 minute bus ride away, which means I should be there at least once a week.
Food: fresh and plentiful. Service: accommodating. Space: small and a bit awkwardly set up depending on where you sit. But I know they're just making do. Coffee: my cup never got below half full, hot and perfectly brewed.
Wow on the sausage.
I think we got lucky only waiting five or so minutes for a seat on a Saturday late morning/early afternoon. I've heard this place garners quite the line...
And now I understand why!
Last weekend, I sat my ass down in a comfy seat at Flying Saucer, eagerly awaiting what I knew from experience would be a totally warm, cozy, coma-inducing breakfast. Â This place is usually like giving your guts a hug with a down coat on. Â So I ordered the thing I have ordered three times before, the trucker bowl, which has never failed to satisfy and comfort me and make me useless for an entire day.
Let me just point out that I know nobody likes to be hungry and hung over and pay for a meal they don't want. Â But when I have this experience, you can ask my dining partners: it ruins my life. Â I melt into a pile of bloody tears and I sigh heavily for HOURS after the dining experience that has failed to meet my expectations, I start to vocalize how "See?! Â This is proof that the whole world is against me! Â Put 'crappy breakfast at Flying Saucer' on my list of examples!!" Â I am basically a big downer and nobody wants to be around me after a disappointing meal, so it's in everyone's best interest that breakfast be tip top.
When I ordered the trucker bowl, I expected the biscuits, scrambled eggs, fluffy white mounds of pepper gravy, ham, onions, cheese, and potatoes. Â The key here is "fluffy white mounds" of gravy. Â If you've ever made gravy from scratch before, you'll know that it's very easy to completely fuck it up and end up with oily, watery goop that separates from the flour and is just basically about as useful to me at breakfast as a pool of dog vomit. Â So that's what was poured all over my breakfast: oily, pinkish, separated gravy fuck-up that should have been discarded and re-made from scratch because it was unfit to grace the top of a heap of such amazing ingredients. Â But nah, they just figured, fuck it, we're busy, these assholes will eat anything. Â And they served the crap. Â
The minute the server put the bowl down, I knew just by looking at it that it wasn't right. Â I started to breathe into a paper bag to calm my distress and my boyfriend eventually talked me into taking a bite. Â I did, and it was as if they had mixed Sriracha with the gravy (maybe that's where the pink hue came from??). Â It was definitely made spicy with something other than pepper all of a sudden. Â I'm telling you, I had been looking forward to this yummy bowl of slop that has never failed to make me happy before like you would not believe. Â I had thought about it all week. Â I had dreams about dipping my feet into that gravy and tucking myself into one of those biscuits for a long winter's nap.
We called the server over, and I asked "Is this by any chance the vegetarian gravy or something?" Â He said "Did you ASK for vegetarian gravy?" and before he could hear me say no, he went to check our ticket to see if I'd asked for vegetarian gravy. Â He didn't even glance at our weird bowls of pink watery gravy. Â He came back and showed me where "regular" or whatever was written on our ticket....which really proves nothing, because it's not like the chef explodes if he accidentally goes against the ticket and fucks something up. Â But, oh, the ticket never lies, stupid customer! Â "OK," I said, "it just, uh, looks weird....it's usually different." Â So the server points at the pieces of ham which are OBVIOUSLY SLICED AND ADDED TO THE TOP OF THE DISH SEPARATELY FROM THE OTHER INGREDIENTS, and says "Oh, it's because you had it with ham." Â Then he leaves.
Whatever. Â I've had it with ham before and it hasn't fucked the whole dish. Â I ended up scraping everything to the side and eating what hadn't been tarnished by the dog barf excuse for gravy, which wasn't much. Â And I paid for it and left and whined all the way home about how the Devil had his dong dipped in everything I loved, because the universe HATES MEEEE.
It's funny, I'd been willing to forgive the time we went and one of our group ordered the chicken fried steak, which came out bleeding all over the plate and squawking and mooing. Â They fixed that up pretty quick, so I was going to overlook that. Â Just before we ordered this time, someone said to me "I can't believe you haven't Yelped this place yet, you love this place!" Â Well. Â Now we know that love is a very strong word, which should be reserved for places that don't sacrifice quality just to get butts in and out faster. Â That crap gravy ruined my day. Â It will be a long time before I put my day in Flying Saucer's hands again, and if I do, I'm'a go back there and stand next to the guy making the gravy and give him some tips. Â Like don't let the Devil spit in it, perhaps?
Cash only! Just thought I'd through it out there right away. Not a problem once you get used to it, but maybe a bummer if you don't know and show up with plastic.
I love this place, but mostly because it is the only spot to which I can walk to on a hungover Sunday morning in less than 5 minutes. The food is good, but nothing that I can't make myself at home - it's just nice to walk over here and not need to cook it in my own kitchen and then clean up, blah blah...
The servers are reasonably friendly, as long as you are not a douche yourself. After a while they start to recognize the regulars and become much friendlier. I may have been here way to may times to go alone, but whenever family or friends are in town, FS is on the itinerary every time.
The Eggs Benedict are by far my most favorite, with a great twist on the sauce (roasted pepper). I've tried a few things, the bean cakes were nice, the Mexican bowl (don't remember the name, but it's one of the more expensive ones with everything in it) is delicious. The Lavender Lemonade is an interesting one time (ok, maybe twice) twist on a beverage. Coffee is good and comes with refills.
Do not believe the glowing reviews. This place doesn't deserve the positive praise and here's why. First, they only take cash. Second (and most importantly) the people who work there are obnoxiously rude, "cooler than thou" hipsters who don't know anything about being kind or giving decent service. And finally, the food isn't that great (I've been there only once before but it was a long time ago and the service was bad then - just try to get more water).
My friend and I were going to meet there for lunch at 1 p.m. today but she was running a couple minutes late. Although packed, there was a table for 2 available but the waitress insisted on having me sit at the counter. She claimed there were no available tables. Then, when a party of 3 arrived she moved me again so that they could sit at the counter. I had to ask for a menu and when I asked about their "cash only" policy I got a dead-pan, negative reaction from another server.
I walked out, called my friend and we went to Bite instead on Western. They had amazing food, excellent service, and a much cleaner/more appealing atmosphere. Just as I was walking away from Flying Saucer I saw that the waitress put a party of 2 at the table she claimed was unavailable.
You just don't treat people this way.
Where to start? My first visit to Flying Saucer was based upon another Yelp review, because it's a little tucked away from the typical hipster/casual diner crowd. Not incredibly easy to stumble upon, but after arriving and being greeted right away, we only had a ten minute wait for what was about to be the best brunch I've ever had in Chicago.
My girlfriend got the vegetarian trucker bowl- everything was delicious, and though a hearty list of ingredients, surprisingly light. The biscuits in the bottom are unbelievably fluffy and don't get soggy even with all the gravy on it. How do they do it??
I got the flying saucer eggs benedict (with ham) and it was out of this world! Pun not intended. I had no idea artichokes and roasted red pepper sauce belonged on top of an egg and english muffin, but now I won't have it any other way. Absolutely phenomenal.
Everything about the food was done to perfection, and the owner told me they've been there for ten years. The quality of the food and taste rivals, if not beats, any meals I've ordered at popular downtown spots for easily twice the price! I happily tipped generously for an experience I would expect to get from a location smack in the middle of the loop with a great reputation.
Do NOT skip on this one, Flying Saucer is amazing! As long as Flying Saucer is standing, I'll be coming back whenever I can.
I went in at about 11 am with a newspaper, an appetite and a desire to chill. All 3 happened.
I ordered the Trucker Bowl because it had everything that I wanted (Ham, Potatoes,Eggs, Biscuits, Gravy) and came in a cool bowl (per my roommate).
A bit salty, and by the time you get to what you think is the end, comes a mush of what was.
It's a smal place, so the customers tend to merge conversations eventually, but that's cool.
I'l be back
