Leif's No 2

If you wanna walk straight into an early 1970's  "Working Mans Lunch Counter", this is your place!  Inside, it hasn't been TOUCHED in over 30 years, even a broken stool top has never been replaced.  The cast of characters?  Everything from Factory Workers, City Workers, Old People, Families, Pimps, Drug Dealers, Gang Members!  You get it all here and everyone is cool... On to the food--Keep in mind that ONE Woman "Leif" runs the whole joint!  Cooking, Waiting Tables, Register, Carry- Outs.  I can honestly say I've never seen anyone flip a bigger pancake in my life/ definitely an art.  I would venture to say that the flat top in back has probably cooked over 100,000 pancakes!  This place is all about breakfast, Huge portions of everything all made from scratch and loaded up with BUTTER!  Also known for Burgers which are huge (At Least 3/4 LB) and served on white bread?  Meat had great flavor but the condiments were horrible.  Served on a bun with good condiments and this could be mind blowing to say the least..  Definite stop if in this area!  GTFJD

Good greasy spoon with HUGE portions. Mrs. Leif will scold you if you don't finish.

This place gives huge portions of food, but to say the food is good would be an overstatement.
Without a doubt its single handedly contributing to the Chicago obesity problem.
However, if you enjoy huge portions of mediocre food this is your place.
