Madison Park Kitchen

This is a great spot if you are looking for brunch or lunch food. Everything felt like it was homemade like a classic diner but alittle more upscale. The service was quick from when we sat down and the food came out fast as well. A ton of options so pick the first thing you can want or you'll keep back tracking to other options ha. Check it out for sure

Stopped in for a quick work lunch. I was greeted and seated promptly. The vibe is old school dinner with checkered tablecloths and kitschy art work. The menu boasts a little of everything. Breakfast items include omelettes, crepes, and pancakes or waffles. The lunch menu includes salads, sandwiches, and burgers. I went with a panini and fries and was completely happy with my meal.

This is the perfect local neighborhood brunch place to frequent. Every time their food is consistently good and just hits the spot. We got the two eggs and country fried chicken: the chicken was crispy white meat chicken breast that was seasoned perfectly with warm gravy.We got the two eggs and the corned hash: the corned hash is crispy and goes well with the creamy scrambled eggs.Service is so friendly and fast. They always come by to offer fresh hot coffee.

One of my favorite diners in the areaMPK as we call it is a family friendly classic. It's got everything you need in a hearty American diner- coffee, kind servers, and amazing food. A go to of mine is the Rueben. Never disappoints. I also get the eggs, ham, and hash brown plate, which for 8.50 and a side of pancakes is a pretty sweet deal. If you need a place to take out of town folks, you gotta stop by.

Christine's service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and great at guiding a newbie through the menu.As for the pancakes, they're a must-try in Chicago. Fluffy, silky, and downright delicious--the epitome of diner pancake perfection. I'm definitely coming back for more.The décor nails the upscale diner vibe with a clean and spacious layout, perfect for any size group.

I've been going here for a little while now, so I guess I can be considered a regular at this point. I'm writing this review now because I feel like their service and quality are high and consistent. I always love finding a great traditional American breakfast place I can frequent. On this trip, I had the country fried chicken with sausage gravy, eggs, pancakes, and grits on the side. The chicken was seasoned very nicely and perfectly cooked to keep it juicy and tender. Their sausage gravy is the best and closest I have had in Chicago, matching what I ate from my southern hometown. The grits and eggs were cooked appropriately as well. Finally, the pancakes were light and fluffy, and they are a side option for most meals on the menu. Other great menu choices are biscuits and gravy, skillets, and waffles. Overall, I will continue to frequent this establishment and can only advise others to do so as well.

I came here for brunch with a dear friend to knock this place off my to go list. Upon arrival, we waited about 10 minutes for seating. The place was packed so we figured the food and ambiance and service had to be good. When we were sat, our sever gave us menus and time to decide - we settled on the Desparado skillet and the portobello Benny. Food: I would rate our dishes a 9/10. Only one point off because my friend said the bell peppers were too big and didn't add flavor to the dish. Service: our server was amazing and diligent. She took care of us and did it with a smile. The pricing of the dishes versus the sizing is top tier. You definitely can expect to get bang for your buck. If you're interested in family style, good food and southern hospitality, I would recommend this place for me. I'll definitely be returning.

Madison Park Kitchen feels like you're in a small town where everyone knows everyone. It's such a cozy and homey restaurant.We came here for breakfast and were excited about the variety of breakfast options. We ordered the potato benny, chicken and waffles, and biscuit and gravy. The potato benny was amazing. -The potato pancakes are crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. They are well seasoned and flavorful. The eggs were perfectly poached. I would highly recommend the potato benny.-They use chicken breast for the fried chicken and waffles, which my friend appreciated. He said it was the perfect balance between savory and sweet. - The country gravy is perfection. Probably the best country gravy in the Oak Park / Forest Park area! Our server was very attentive to our tables needs and provided coffee refills regularly. The prices are very reasonable and the food tastes amazing. There's free parking in the back! We will definitely be coming back here!!
