Burgundy Restaurant

A craving for meatloaf took me to the Burgundy Restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. I haven't been to this place in about 40 years.This place is probably great for a weekend breakfast, but I was not impressed with the dinner. It was just okay. Golden Corral meatloaf is even better.Also, I can't figure out why the owner posted pictures of the food on the walls, just below the ceilings. It's tacky and makes it look more like a fast food restaurant.I was expecting much more from this nostalgic visit.

Seeing the negative reviews on here surprised me as I have been finding myself returning to the Burgundy Restaurant again and again. I typically only get the breakfasts and every time they have been phenomenal, and reasonablly priced. The service is always top notch and so kind! The ambiance is that of a chill, laid back, 70's diner. Out of all the newer breakfast spots that pop up in the area this one has stood the test of time for an obvious reason, consistency and quality from your first visit. Let me be clear this is not the greatest breakfast in the world where every bite will blow your mind, but the food is good and in my 4+ visits now it has been good every time. The menu is simple but executed exceptionally well with classics being served the way they should be. This is a no-frills family diner where you can grab a steak, a skillet, or just a slice of pie and know you're in for a well-made meal/snack. I Highly recommend for breakfast if your in the area and I am looking forward to trying them out for dinner sometime soon!

Burgundy Restaurant is a diner located at the corner of Irving Park and Austin. My buddy had been there before, but I made my debut visit there on Sunday. We were going to eat lunch at another restaurant, but that place was not ready to open at its listed opening time. Since Burgundy is big on breakfast, we figured that this would be a sure thing to be open for our noon lunch.They were doing a brisk business, with many of its booths filled with mask-wearing customers. Our waitstaff were all prompt and courteous, and we appreciated that our beverage glasses were being filled without us asking. I tend to order meat loaf at diners, so here I go again. The soup that came with my meal (I chose cream of chicken rice, my bud went with chicken noodle) was filling but bland. The crackers did not help too much. The meat loaf came with mixed veggies, and I asked for hash brown-style potatoes. The meal was fine but not particularly memorable. My bud wolfed down his plate of mostaccioli and meatballs with little comment. Burgundy Restaurant was fine for our get-together lunch, but I would not select it as a first-choice place to go.

Such a classic corner diner. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The servers are all very funny and clearly care about making sure the restaurant sticks around for years to come. This is a great place for a casual weekend brunch with family and friends when you don't feel like cooking. Love!

Great neighborhood place to grab a bite and a drink. Friendly people, clean, good food. We order a breakfast sandwich came with hash browns, and a #1 (eggs, bacon, pancakes). We were happy satisfied campers

This place took me by surprise. When we were searching for diners and came across this restaurant I was skeptical cause of the pictures I saw but on getting there it was very different from my imagination. The ambiance was GREAT! It was very neat and gave me nostalgia cause I am a diner person. The food was amazing, cooked fresh! We started with the rice chicken soup and it was so tasty. Even the Lipton tea I had there was amazing! I ordered a three meat omelet and it was really tasty! The server a kind nice lady was amazing too. In fact if I can give more than 5 star I would. I HIGHLY recommend!

This has got to be one of the worst efforts I've seen from a restaurant, we ordered a Turkey and gyros plate and it was literally the worst cooked meal I've had in a long time, I would've preferred fast food from the dollar menu over this. The gyros was burned to a crisp and looks like it had been re-heated and the turkey club had no bacon so when I called to ask why it didn't have bacon I was told that the one with bacon is the turkey clubhouse ?!?!? I live less than a block away and will never return to this place, not to mention the turkey seemed like it's been in the fridge for weeks. No pride in what they do here.

Best diner around! Everything I have ordered has been good. Wish it was open later in the evening.

Go to for hearty bfast or lunch. Staff are super nice, friendly & have been there for many years! Like the local neighborhood feel & booth seating best where you can watch the world go by.

The food is delicious and it has the Chicago old family owned vibe that the city was built on
