Little Corner Restaurant

Little Corner Restaurant is a pillar of this community. I don’t know what we would do without it.
I strongly suggest getting green peppers and onions in the hashbrowns. I also enjoy the split pea soup on Thursdays. Greatest staff ever.

I will not waste much time on this review — they suck.
Stopped in for the first time when we moved to the area Nov 1^st, food was ok, service beyond slow, price fair I guess for a greasy spoon joint. Not organized when seating or taking names, heard a few people complaining.
2^nd time (last Sunday) we waited 15 mins to be seated on a less than crowded part of the day, when seats were obviously available. After 10 mins of waiting for our orders to be taken we reached out to a server and she said rudely «I am not your server! Someone will come over, we are really busy.» We got up and walked out, I doubt anyone noticed. They suck.

This is basic, old-​school diner food. Has a very old-​school feel to it, but it is bare bones good food. I usually get a breakfast special when I go — pancakes or french toast, eggs and either sausage or bacon — for about $ 7. For a no frills breakfast without the bells and whistles, this is good.

Just like the name, a very cozy little diner, we like to go to for brunch any day of the week. Their service is always great, although the the space inside is little muggy sometimes. We like to sit on the patio and order a breakfast menu item usually eggs, sausage, potatoes, and pancakes, and a lunch type item like the buffalo chicken salad with ranch. The chicken is crispy, the vegetables fresh, and the portion is ginormous! Definitely recommend as a place as a neighborhood diner.

Really lovely place, staff are friendly and very attentive. The breakfast special is a great deal since you can get the pancakes, meat and eggs all together at a fair price. They have outdoor searing which is nice, but watch those sugar bees haha. It seems like this place is mostly for lunch and breakfast, so bear in mind since I’m not sure they are open in the evenings.

This is my favorite little place to go when I am craving breakfast for lunch. Or even just breakfast for breakfast!
The food is tasty (and affordable). The coffee is hot and always promptly refilled by the great servers.
It’s a relaxed environment and I never feel rushed to leave.
They serve breakfast and lunch meals, including burgers, salads and sandwiches. Plus milkshakes!
Come enjoy this little place on the corner for a hardy meal with a tiny price!

For the price, this place is 5 stars! It is simple, good, food… at a bargain price. The staff is nice. The place is a little run down, but again… for the price, you can’t beat it. The food really is prepared very well. I really wish that they were open in the evening.

Definitely like exploring the city’s diners and all they have to offer. This cute place does in a pinch. The food is cheap. Lots for the money. This past Sunday, I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with country fried steak, hashbrowns and toast. As other Unilocalers have pointed out, the food is standard fare. It’s average comfort food. Attentive staff. Restaurant was clean.

Cozy little diner in the heart of Edgewater!
My fav part of this diner might be the seating. The whole place is sort of quaint and laid back. I generally only come here when I just don’t feel like cooking as the food is just standard diner fair.

I love it here.
It is a diner done exactly how diners should be done — they even have a circular bar for eating at!
They have quaint outdoor seating too.
Their hours are short but it is so worth it!
I recommend the French toast, it is done just as an adorable diner would do it.

I loved this place. I went in expecting a classic diner feel with classic diner food and got exactly that. Its comforting and delicious. My boyfriend got a skillet and I got a reuben, both were phenomenal, and the waitress was attentive and nice not overbearing or distant. Such a great weekend brunch for us and we will be returning again and again.

The food is your standard diner fare, but the service from my first visit rates a four star review.
Great little outdoor seating area for cyclists like me who don’t want to smell-​up the place after a sweaty ride.

I frequent this place way too much because it’s my favorite cheap neighborhood breakfast dive! I love the staff here. The kitchen is super fast. There is always hilarious outdated décor. The same ugly Easter egg wreath has been up for seasons. Sometimes I stare at the ceiling tile grease and pretend it’s 1987. Great diner food for cheap.

A neighborhood breakfast place with decent renditions of standard fare.
I was exploring my brother’s neighborhood (without my brother, oddly enough) and we ended up sitting down here for breakfast. I ordered a grilled cheese with bananas for my daughter, and a vegetarian skillet over hash browns for myself. My wife had a bacon chicken sandwich with fries, which she said she liked.
Nothing here really stands out… which might be your kind of thing! My skillet had great eggs and well-​cooked veggies but was very underseasoned on top (which is why, I suppose, the hot sauce bottles were easily within reach.) The hash browns’ largest liability was that they weren’t crunchy… at all. I thought that was one of the requirements of hash browns?
On the bright side, the grilled cheese was nice and toasty. And the bananas were sliced nice!
The meal set the three of us back about $ 30 including tip, which seems pricey, or I just don’t know how much food is supposed to cost in the city.
I would be interested in seeing if this place is still here in five years.

Food was typical diner breakfast food. Service was awful. Took them 15 min to get creamer for the coffee, and there was only two other couples there. The whole eating and ordering process took much too long. We sat there with cold, sad coffee and were very unimpressed.

My mushroom burger came SUPER FAST, as if they had it ready for me before I ordered! I barely got comfortable and she’s already bringing it to my table!
It reminded me a lot of the restaurant I would go to as a child with my Mom in my hometown, except there weren’t the juke boxes at the table. A nice dive spot, and the prices are very reasonable!

I’ll tell you what Little Corner is good for: DINING ALONE.
Honestly, if you come here on a weekday morning, you’ll see about 10 people scattered about and 8 of them are rolling solo. And people are cool with it. Read the paper. Read a book. Do the crossword. Stare into space. Enjoy the solitude.
This is 100% a divy diner. The menu is really small. It’s dumpy and dingy and some of the seats are uncomfortable. The same gal servers almost every morning and she’s really nice. I love, love, love it here.
I haven’t had anything except breakfast, so my understanding of the lunch/​dinner menu is nil, however, I’ve been really happy with the 2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns (shredded — super crisp on the outside and SO soft in the middle) and the option to get toast OR pancakes. By god, get the pancakes. They’re really simple diner pancakes, but they’re awesome.
Service is excactly what it should be: They keep your coffee cup full and they don’t bug you. The food comes out hot and fast.
LOVE Little Corner.

A neighborhood diner with good standard high cholesterol American breakfast, reasonably fresh hot coffee and acceptable fresh pie. Service is a little slow and disorganized, the inside temperature is too warm, but that’s because I’m still about 10 or 20 years too young to fit into their target demographic. When I’m 64, the service speed and temperature in here will be just right.

I always love simple breakfast places where you can go and just read a paper and relax without being rushed out. Hard to find in Chicago on the weekends with all of the fancy ‘brunch’ locations that want to shuffle you in and out.
This, along with Heartland Café, are my two favorite breakfast places in Chicago. I frequent here more though because it’s more low-​key and quiet.
Food was cooked perfect. 1 egg, potatoes (real potatoes, not shredded, not entirely diced; can tell they’re freshly cut), with two nice thick pieces of rye toast. Plus a generous size mug of free refill coffee! Good was $ 4.25 ($ 4.75 if I wanted 2 eggs instead of my usual 1 egg), and $ 1.75 for bottomless coffee. Great good, peaceful atmosphere, out the door under $ 8 with tip, can’t beat that.

Classic Chicago diner experience, right down to the blue-​collar Russian customers. My only complaint is that their potatoes are sliced rather than shredded hashbrowns.
Open early, always friendly — my kind of place.
