Janik's Cafe - Chicago

I love this place. The staff is great and the food is always hot and delicious. It’s inexpensive and quick but the quality is fantastic. My fiancé and I come here all the time and will keep coming back (I get the Chilaquiles every time).

Stopped in morning after July 4 to carry out some brunch for my family visiting from out of town. Welcomed at the door and order was ready on time. Food was delicious and prices are extremely reasonable. They packed utensils and gave us all the syrup and sauces we requested! I live close by and I will definitely be stopping by more often! Breakfast croissant was a good basic (bread probably could’ve been toasted more) but the breakfast potatoes were so flavorful and crispy that it made up for it. Cheesy grits were a fun addition that was just decadent enough for me with some hot sauce on the side. Pancakes and French toast were amazingly crispy and fluffy, after 3 minutes in our air fryer after the walk home, a perfect hack if you can’t eat them fresh on-site. The breakfast quesadilla was definitely the most unique and was what hit the meal out of the park! Without an air fryer it might not travel as well as the quesadilla could get soggy but it would be perfect fresh and the air fryer did the trick for us nicely. Loved the rice beans and salsa that it came with. All of this (there’s more pancake and toast not pictured) for $45!! It fed and satisfied our family of 5. Thank you Janiks for being a Wicker Park staple!

Quick service and the food was excellent. I ordered Huevos Rancheros, which can be disappointing most of the time, but Janiks delivered! Food was hot, fresh and a good portion. Friendly service as well.

I came here once with a friend and did not disappoint. I decided to come here recently and brought my parents alongside and they loved it. We tried the Lime chicken soup, and it was delicious! It's definitely one of our favorite places from now on. We left the place very happy. The customer service was phenomenal, and it moved at a very quick pace. For everyone that have not come here yet, we recommend you guys to come in and give it a try.

Absolutely huge menu, and every item we got was better than the last. The honey Sriracha chicken was some of the tastiest chicken I've ever had, and the waffles were sweet and perfectly sized. The mimosa pitcher was generous as well, and complemented the food perfectly. I can't wait to go again.
