Reviews for The Bongo Room in Chicago, IL
Small Bar up front, dining room in the back and a nice patio out back. Great coffee served up in diner mugs, awesome pancakes... and good service. The space is cleanly decorated and seating is comfortable. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly (wearrive right when then opened on a weekday), and our waiter had a good grasp of the menu. The coffee was very good. Read more
Great brunch spot in Andersonville. Bongo Room never disappoints. I've been to this location 2-3 times and their food and... ambiance are both excellent. Most recently I got the egg benedict BLT and the blackberry & lemon cream brioche french toast.Both plates were delicious. Their back patio is very nice for warmer summer days. Definitely recommend!

Whenever people ask me for breakfast or brunch recommendations, I always include the Bongo Room. Everything I have ordered from... the menu has been delicious. The portions are generous and the quality is consistent. Great variety of options. Highly recommendthe chocolate french toast tower, the breakfast burrito loaded with fresh avocado, and the veggie croissant. The staff isfriendly and professional. Read more
Used to love going to bongo room, but ever since covid, not only has prices risen and portions have gotten smaller, the quality... is horrible. If I have to pay more for a smaller portion for my food I expect it to taste good. It’s so different now. Notsatisfying at all. Read more
Great neighborhood brunch spot. The watermelon mimosa was incredibly fresh and refreshing, clearly fresh watermelon juice and... perfect for summer. The breakfast burrito was incredibly solid and what really made it better than most was the cook on thescrambled eggs in it, they were very soft and fluffy, unlike a lot of other places preparation of scrambled eggs. Great go tospot in Andersonville! Read more
I’ve been here for a few times already during the weekends. Tasty breakfasts with out of menu dishes (for example, I’ve... ordered a sautéed spinach on a side)… be prepared to rather go vegetarian here… and ready to have a good time with a fewcocktails as well which are quite generous! Great vibe, great food, bring friends like breakfast vibe! Try them out! Read more
For a late couple breakfast we chose the Bongo Room. Nice Service helped us to our place in the quite crowded restaurant and... took our orders. There was a special brunch menu with great choices. I went for the deconstructed lobster roll benedict - whichwas a really good choice. A little under seasoned on the salt level, but that's changeable. I also want to highlight the highquality of their cafe latte - delicious. Overall nice restaurant experience and recommended for everyone who wants to have anice brunch in Andersonville. Read more
My favorite brunch spot in Andersonville. Always friendly and knowledgeable staff who are constantly getting their butts handed... to them. <—expect to wait 10-20 mins on weekend brunch. Don’t worry-it’s well worth the wait and the delicious cocktailswill keep you in a great mood while you wait for your Carmel and pretzel pancakes! The only downside is the small front waitingspace but hey..that’s what happens when everything is great and everyone wants it. Read more
