Dove's Luncheonette

I've been to Dove's many many times. And I've recommended it to friends coming to Chicago. The ambiance, service, food have been consistent every time. It is a local neighborhood diner with Southern inspired Mexican dishes, lots of mezcals, and vinyl records. It is not Mexican food. It is INSPIRED by Mexican dishes. My last visit we were taken care of by Miranda and I brought my family. She was attentive, and accommodating since we asked to be moved to one of their center tables. Dove's is not the best for a large group. It's small and cozy. My boyfriend and I love sitting at their bar, right by the record player. Dove's is a staple for me. I no longer live in Chicago but I try to stop by every time I'm in town. This last time felt a bit different, it felt busier and more popular, I guess. But I also went on a Sunday summer morning. The farmer's market sets up right next door in the Wicker Park - you can stop by before or after brunch. Food is on the heavy side, some of the menu items change and they make sure to top off your coffee. One thing - I do not like the masa pancakes...and the mole spiced syrup that comes with it is also a miss. I've had the taco Norteño, brisket hash, Dove's deluxe (classic if you really don't know what to get), and the Tlayuda (made with blue corn). I appreciate the effort.

Dove's brings a unique, lively Tex Mex flair to traditional diner food and vibes, and the service is excellent. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and come out fast. It's kind of pricey, but the portions are large and filling and my group of 4 had some leftovers afterwards. Make a reservation if you can-- seating is limited and it gets quite busy for brunch especially on weekends. Food I tried:- Taco Norteno (4.2/5): The brisket in the taco was delicious, flavorful, and well-seasoned, but I wasn't a huge fan of the tortilla which felt too thick and dough-y for me. - Tlayuda (4.3/5): I enjoyed the crispiness of the tortilla and the freshness of the ingredients, though it could have used a bit more vibrant flavors. It was simultaneously light and filling.- Brisket Hash (4.4/5): Great flavors all around. The potatoes were crispy and well-sauced and the brisket was meaty and umami. - Masa Pancakes (4/5): Probably my least favorite out of everything we ordered, but I'm also just not the biggest fan of pancakes. The flavors here were just okay.

I love a good brunch and especially if they have good breakfast potatoes! My friend and I split the burnt ends hash and it filled both of us up! My other friend also really enjoyed the chicken fried chicken. No complaints here!We stopped by on a weekday so there was no wait but this spot gets pretty busy on the weekends so try to come early if you can. The service here was great and our server was very kind and thorough with the menu and gave us recommendations since it was our first time!

Super cute and cozy place to enjoy a casual meal in a convenient spot right off the blue line. The service is quick and attentive. All of the food I tried was amazing, but the potatoes in the hash were SO addicting.

Back after two years and I brought my partner to try it this time. I have been craving their tlayuda, TRYING to find something similar the past couple years, with no luck. The ingredients were slightly different, however, they still worked perfectly on top. My partner got the masa pancakes with mole syrup which he really enjoyed. This place is a gem. I will keep coming back every time I visit Chicago.

The OK Onion Burger is fantastic. Definitely need more of that style in the city. Service was attentive and the ambiance was fun - great playlist too.

Every time I come here I get a friendly greeting right away. I always get the brisket hash and it's always so good. You have to try the chili oil they keep the m the tables. It's a good smoky flavor. It's busy every time I come but very cozy. A must try!

Loved everything about this place location, service, and dining options were all fantastic!

Dove's is your usual neighborhood diner but with a Mexican & Southern twist. They have the old school, vintage-y vibes and friendly staff, making it a great spot to start your weekend. Space is limited, mostly counter seating with one communal table so prepare to wait in line! My pick is the chicken fried chicken. Buttermilk fried & covered in chorizo verde gravy. Appreciate the crunch - fried rly well and the chicken is juicy Gravy is pretty rich so the sweet peas and pearl onions help cut through it all. Dove's deluxe is your classic option. Solid execution but nothing too special. If I lived in Wicker Park, I would go more often but it's not worth a commute AND a thirty minute wait imo. Chicken Fried Chicken $19 Dove's Deluxe $15 시카고 브런치 리스트에 꼭 있는 Dove's. 미쿡스러운 다이너 갬성이랑 친절한 직원들 덕분에 주말을 시작/마무리 하기 좋은 곳이다. 공간 자체는 협소해서 웨이팅이 필수고 메뉴는 멕시칸 & 남부 스타일을 적절하게 조합했다 맛은 낫배드. 흔한 다이너 보다 좀 더 맛있는 정도? 추천 메뉴는 치킨! 요걸 제일 많이 시키는것같음. 굳이 찾아갈 필요는 없는데 근처라면 가볼만하다. 파머스 마켓 열릴때 가면 이름 적어놓고 한바퀴 돌면되니까 그때가 베스트!

Diove's is devoled to providing excellent food and seevice. Thw food is fabullous as it is curated by the same all str restaranteer grouo that brings you the oh so fabulos Big Star in the same neighboorhood.Service is fabulous as one woukd expect if you have ever been to Big Star. The Ambience is a modern day dinner. Not the old schiol diner like tbat of Blue Line that folks of Wicker Park became accostumed to, but its modern day dinner feel is aces here.
