Review by Luisa Bode

Thomas Restaurant is my go-to spot for breakfast in Chicago! ☕️ The atmosphere feels like home - cozy and welcoming, though it could use a little update. I absolutely love their pancakes; they’re big and fluffy! Don’t skip the salmon croquettes - they're simply amazing with a unique batter.

The service was swift and friendly, though the wait can be a bit lengthy during busy hours.

I highly recommend the steak skillet, too, but just be mindful of the consistency! If you're in the mood for comfort food, this place is definitely a winner! 🍽️
