Steak N Egger Offers Quick Service and Great Prices

Even in Chicago, it can sometimes be hard to find a diner that is not only open 24 hours a day but has the kind of food you really long to find. The Steak 'N Egger is that kind of diner. Located in a blue collar area of the city, it doesn't put on airs but simply does what it does simply and with good, solid service - provide basic steak and eggs and other standard fare. In short, you know that when you return here, you'll find the same familiar, even comforting, dishes and sides.

Talk to any of the people who stop in here and you'll hear them describe the place as having a laid-back atmosphere. One waitress even said it could be described as a classic truck stop. Definitely casual, this diner is where people stop when they want to relax - not be wowed by expensive decor. If you stop in here very late at night or just before dawn, don't be surprised to see someone in a corner, possibly seeking relief from a hangover. Yes, that is a possibility, as all types of people stop into the Steak 'N Egger. I think that just adds to the authentic diner feel and everyone is always polite and relatively low-key, barring the occasional loud discussion or debate. It is a neighborhood hangout.

While I prefer to eat breakfast here, you won't be disappointed if you drop into the Steak 'N Egger any time of day or night. Breakfast choices range from a very decent sized ribeye or chopped steak ($6.29) to Corned Beef and Hash ($4.49) or Sausage "N Eggers ($4.49). All breakfasts are served with 2 eggs, hash browns, toast and jelly or 2 eggs and 2 pancakes. This is quite a deal for a meal in Chicago !
