6/2022 5* I TOTALLY recommend this place! Found the place clean, and super friendly. Small and quaint. Lots of "regulars" stopping in. Was like watching a happy family interact. Was busy, but not too busy. Food was cooked fresh and too order. Had weekend specials. I got the "Chicago Breakfast" for $9.99. Good deal, good food, good atmosphere. Totally worth it! The staff was so friendly it was crazy. I loved it! Always saying Thank you and things like that. It was awesome! Next time I am around, I will stop back in. Try something new.

Old School diner, but in the best way. Didn't see the sign that said hours were 6:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m. Well, did, because it's right on the door, but it just didn't register. Server didn't say anything as we came in, and seated us, but then shortly said, "Are you ready to order?" We said, "in a minute," which was when she said, "we close at 2:00." It was 1:52! Our mistake We asked if it was all right to order and they were happy to serve us. Two other customers also came in and were served. Didn't get the bums rush, and food was very good. Wife and I both had the patty melt special and for $10, it was a deal. Fries were perfect and my wife is very finicky about French fries. And the rye bread was crisp, onions grilled spot on. We were treated like regulars and so nice and friendly. Plenty of parking in the back and side. All in all, like the sort of place you hope to find on a road trip. Good food, well priced, great service. It's about 25 miles from our place in the suburbs, or we'd be back often. Nothing fancy, but very, very comfortable. Oh, cash only. No cards. That was probably on the door, too. Would have left better than the 20% tip we did for making them stay late, but who carries cash anymore? Nice place.

Very nice family ambiance. Loved everything about it. The corned beef hash was real beef, not from a can. Really great!

This is one of the true hidden gems of Chicago! A true old school Diner. Glad that I bought a house near here and discovered it. Friendly staff and truly incredible food. You have to try the Homemade corned beef hash! Homemade hot sauce and the fruit preserves for toast. Seriously can not miss.

OUr breakfast at Yellow Rose Cafe was a delightful experience. The corned beef hash was exceptionally delicious, perfectly seasoned, and a fantastic way to start the day. The cozy ambiance and friendly service added to the overall enjoyment, making it a great spot for a morning meal that I'd happily return to.

Amazing find for local, affordable yet high quality and flavors for a diner experience. The staff is super friendly too! Highly recommend. Their pancakes with sautéed bananas are delicious but even a simple egg and ham plate is amazing!
