Top 100 Restaurant, Chicago
"Still the downtown breakfast spot, the place to go for a big, cheesy, perfectly cooked omelet with crispy hash browns and thick slabs of toast. There's often a line at the door, but the complimentary Milk Duds and doughnut holes make the wait tolerable."
– Chicago Reader
"Lou Mitchell's is the kind of place to which you'd take your out-of-town mother or favorite aunt. They'd approve of your good taste and the fact that you are eating well. The 14 kinds of omelets ... are house specialties. ... It's a busy place, but the logging-camp conviviality is good fun."
– Gayot
