The Brunchery

This morning, my family and I enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Frances' Deli and Brunchery on Clark Street. We ordered pancakes and eggs, which were both delicious and generously portioned. The pancakes were fluffy and perfectly cooked, while the eggs were fresh and flavorful.The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable, ideal for a family outing. What impressed us most was the reasonable pricing, especially given the location in Lincoln Park. For a family of four, we found the cost to be quite affordable, which is often hard to come by in this area. Overall, our experience at Frances was fantastic. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices makes it a standout choice for breakfast in Chicago. We will definitely return!Sources[1] FRANCES' DELI AND BRUNCHERY - Updated May 2024 - Yelp https://www.yelp.com/biz/frances-deli-and-brunchery-chicago-2?start=40[2] Frances' Deli - Chicago, IL | Review & What to Eat - Roadfood https://roadfood.com/restaurants/frances-deli/[3] Frances' Deli and Brunchery - Chicago Restaurants - Tripadvisor https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/Restaurant_Review-g35805-d430783-Reviews-or55-Frances_Deli_and_Brunchery-Chicago_Illinois.html[4] Frances' Deli and Brunchery Reviews - 2552 N Clark St, Chicago, IL ... https://www.grubhub.com/restaurant/frances-deli-and-brunchery-2552-n-clark-st-chicago/806394/reviews[5] The Brunchery - Restaurant Reviews - Yelp https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-brunchery-chicago

Cute spot for breakfast and lunch! Get the Mimosa Flight! Our favs were the cotton candy and the dreamsicle. We also tried the peach and blue curacao.Our server was informative and she showed us real pictures of certain dishes off the phone. We ended up getting the french toast flight, which included lemon, apple, strawberry, and blueberry. The lemon was my least favorite, but the rest were equally delicious.The ambiance is very comfortable. They have indoor or outdoor seating, and it's in a walkable neighborhood with lots of places nearby.

The ambiance was great! When you walk in you immediately feel welcomed. I love the patio and indoor seating are. It's like it is all meshed together which gives it the new, modern, hip vibe. We had a large party, but we were well accommodated and received excellent service during our visit. We even had the chance to meet the owner. On to the food, we placed our drink order first. Once we received our drinks, we placed our food order. I had the steak, egg, and potato combo. I wasn't too impressed with the food. It was not seasoned. Everything I had was bland. Now I must say they give you a nice portion of food, so you are definitely going to get your money's worth. I will also say that the drinks weren't as good as well. I love that they have flights available; however, they were syrupy. It took away from the overall taste and flavor of the drink. I hope things with the food get a little better. I believe season will change the game for them.

Omg!!! A total vibe from beginning to end! I recommend sitting inside if you want to feel and hear the music! A wide range of selections on the menu and the staff were all friendly and cool! The prices were decent so I didn't feel cut short or ripped off at all which is sooooo nice in this day and age! Traveled from StL and Im pretty sure I will be hitting this location for brunch for many future Chicago trips!

So this place was a bit of hit or miss. We got in with no wait on Sunday around 11:30 for two, which was nice. The place was pretty busy and VERY LOUD. Our server arrived right away and gave us plenty of time to order as the menu is pretty big. Lots of options that sounded good including the specials but we went with:Biscuits and GravyHash brownsBreakfast corn dogsCreate a scrambler (egg whites, broccoli, onions and peppers, with homemade chicken sausage) + grilled potatoes2x cinnamon roll pancakesMy husband's biscuits were fine but the gravy left flavor to be desired. The hash browns were good with the hardened cheese though! He also liked the corn dogs but again I thought they lacked flavor.My scrambler was delicious! Would def come back for this, especially with the homemade chicken sausage! but my potatoes were COLD. Like bad. The waitress was nice enough to bring me new ones which were piping hot but asked for the old ones back which was kinda strange... I certainly wasn't going to eat them all so it was fine but a little awkward as I attempted to scoop them onto a tiny plate.My pancakes though were a huge disappointment. Silver lining for my diet I guess but my husband and I combined ate less than half of one pancake bc that's how flavorless and dry they were. Def the worst cinnamon roll pancakes I've ever had which was surprising bc they looked fluffy and delicious! Would not get pancakes here again.Overall, our waitress was great and I really enjoyed the scrambler and grilled potatoes but that's all I would come back for.

Wanted to switch up my breakfast outing and tried Frances' Deli and Brunchery. Arrive shortly after they opened for business so that I could get in before the breakfast crowd.So that I could get a sampling of their French toast offerings, I ordered the flight. That came with strawberry, lemon zest, blueberry granola crunch, caramel apple, and a French toast of the week. All of the slices except for the French toast of the week was a hit. The French toast of the week had a heavy-handed rum sauce that rendered a mix of licorice and medicinal flavor to it.Accompanying the toast flight were eggs scrambled with cream cheese and cheesy hashbrowns. Both were perfect and didn't need any additional table seasoning to perk them up.If you go for breakfast, I recommend getting there as early as possible. The stretch along Clark Street tends to have a lot of pedestrian traffic, and brunch is already a popular outing event in Chicago anyway. One other thing to note is that if you get the French toast flight, it may be advisable to inquire as to what the French toast of the week is, so there won't be any surprises.

Best French toast EVER!!! Cute spot...but it is very loud in here. I couldn't really hold a conversation with my partner at the table. The space seems limited and the cram a lot of people in a small space. The food is really why we are here right?? You will not be disappointed. They have daily specials and then they have a very extensive menu. I tried the flight of French toast. Every single bite was delicious. Each flavor taste like the bread was infused with the flavor. So freaking good and nothing basic about this French toast. Have you ever had jerk turkey sausage?? Neither had I!!!! Had to try this and it was good. It is made in house and so going. The red grits were a special for the day. They are more purple than red. I wasn't a huge fan of this but the gravy was the saving grace for this dish.The service was great and the food was served quickly. We tried the mimosa flight and that was good!!

Lovvvved the space and ambiance. Our server, Jamie was full of energy and knowledge! There were so many options to choose from! Lots of options which is a Good problem to have.Lovvveed the French toast flight! Fresh, fluffy, sweet and delicious! Maple chicken was a bomb! Flavorful and tender! Potatoes were seasoned and crispy! Jerk chicken omelette was delicious and juicy! The Man loved the sauce on that meal! He says he thoroughly enjoyed it (and that doesn't happen often). Such a savory meal overall! Last but definitely not least, Cocktails! Expresso did not disappoint and he enjoyed the Blood orange sunrise. Boozy and Smooth.

Great food and service in this busy little restaurant. I enjoyed a special purple grits with lamb. It is the first time I had stone ground blue corn grits. Delicious! The chicken and waffle is really awesome. Everyone enjoyed this meal

The prices were very reasonable, the owner/chef introduced himself and we felt a welcoming spirit. We tried the mimosa flight which consisted of 4 mimosas of varies flavors to your chosen $25. I had the crawfish omelette which was tasty with a large portion. The ambiance of the restaurant was very whimsical and reminded me of Alice and Wonderland with vibrant and fun colors. They offered seating on the outside in a closed areas. But we decided on inside. Definitely would recommend it to friends and family d family
