Nookies

The food was ok. The Eggs Benedict was good, but relatively classic and not remarkable. Personally, I don't get excited about country potatoes. I prefer hash browns.

I dined near the entrance and found the ambiance to be reminiscent of Perkins. It is a very busy restaurant, but I just find the interiors to be a little on the sterile side.

Our server Selina was great! She was super nice and welcoming. Not to mention, her accent was lovely!

Perhaps, I need to come back and try the cornflake crusted French toast in the photos because that looks delish!

Good Food, Good Location, Friendly Owner and Staff, love this place ,my favourite,
come here every week.
it's my favourite breakfast place

Nookies, Nookies, Nookies; oh how I wanted to enjoy this experience just a bit more than I actually did...

I was visiting Chicago (home) this past week and a friend of mine lives by the Nookie's on Wells St. We decided to check it out, as I had heard there was a Nookies that recently opened near where I had lived previously. It was mid afternoon so I ordered lunch items and my friend ordered breafast items. I been told before that their breafast was pretty good - but I was just not in the mood for it.

Anyway, my friend ordered standard eggs and bacon with hashbrowns. I ordered soup and a tuna melt. I can't speak for my friend's food, but everything was just mediocre. For all the hype that I had heard about this place, I thought the decore (which definitely left something to be desired) would have an edge.

I think I simply just had much higher expectations. The food was edible - but nothing to write home about. The ambiance/decor was that of any other diner type restaurant. Next time I a in Chicago I will probably not make it a priority to come back and visit a Nookies.
