Stella's is your classic American diner in the heart of Chicago. The service was fast, efficient, and attentive. Great bang for your buck! The food was great and large portions were served. The server offered us an iced coffee to go - a rarity these days. Overall, very satisfied with the quality of food and service - we will absolutely be coming back.

The rest of the food looks good, however I ordered "mom's meatloaf" and it was a 1/5 stars. It was just three hamburger patties with some sauce and was not like any meatloaf I've ever had. Hadn't had meatloaf in a while and I was looking forward to it but oh well.

Decent diner experience in Lakeview. Good service, they seat you quickly and food comes out fast.

Solid is the one word to describe this adorable and bright diner on Broadway. First off, order their fries. If you want to just gain the best advice fast - boom you got it. This was my first time stopping into Stella's and I had to get the turkey bacon club; especially when you see three others in the joint order it while you're there. This sandwich was fresh and fast. The meat was flavorful and the bacon was cooked perfectly. The bread held up throughout the meal. My partner had the breakfast sandwich. Get the fried egg and add avocado! Will be coming back when hungover.

Was seated immediately on a chilly Thursday morning! Ordered the west coaster with extra hash browns, with a delicious chocolate shake.

Stella's Diner truly screams old school diner. I went there this morning for the first time and thought it was a great breakfast experience. The service was incredible and attentive. The food is your typical breakfast skillet- nothing ground breaking but still delicious. Portion sizes were also pretty good. I wish Yelp allowed 0.5 ratings because I'd give them a 3.5/5 because they were good but nothing about it stood out to where I'd go again. Would still recommend checking them out if you're in the lakeview east area!

There is simply not a bad thing I could say about Stella's for breakfast. You get exactly what you're expecting from this place. The food is satisfying and the entire diner just feels like a warm hug. It's familiar! We've all been to a Stella's in our lifetime even if it wasn't actually Stella's. You can find me here, in a booth in my sweatpants on any weekend. An order of french toast or pancakes never misses. They keep the coffee flowing. And it doesn't break the bank. If you're looking for a trendy spot for an Instagram-worthy brunch with the girls, this isn't the place for you. But if you want a damn good breakfast served by friendly staff in a homey diner, then stop on by!

It has gotten more expensive (way more) than the quality warrants. Hamburgers are 1/2 pound...I'll get another one when I grow hair on my palms. I asked to have half of the patty cooked and the other half tossed, but of course paid for the whole thing, which is fine. Servers (different than what they used to be) and quality have gone down. For what they charge, you sit on a seat that is falling apart (really?). All the workers speak Spanish to each other now while serving you, making diners feel left out and not important. Been going there since it was "Wheel Around"... I'm done now... I'm sad to see it and the Bagel go down-hill since I have loved both of them in the past and I live right there. What happened?

This place is old and worn, but gives you a real sense of nostalgia. A true Chicago diner. Filled with regulars dressed in well worn Bears attire talking sports and many young adults looking like they're nursing hangovers. lol I listened in on glassy eyed college kids talking about their Bumble hookups while I ate my breakfast. It seemed fitting. Lol The menu is very old school. Skillets, omelettes, hash browns etc.. You're not going to get trendy menu options, but that's not meant as a negative. I enjoy old diners sometimes. You can schlep in in your sweats and not feel the need to impress.I had a chorizo skillet. Didn't love the jarred jalapeños, but the chorizo wasn't overly greasy which was a win by itself. -I've had some really greasy ones in other diners. Service was good. Friendly. I'd never go out of my way to eat here, but if I lived in the neighborhood I might show up if I wanted a very casual sit-down breakfast. Grabbed a Butterfinger shake on my way out. It was the kind you can easily drink (eat?) with a straw. Not my favorite consistency for a shake, but since I ate it on the drive home, it was kinda perfect.

I've been here several times over the years, and the food is always good and fair priced, the service is quick, and the staff is friendly. 5/5 Diner!
