Fantastic modern Jewish deli.
Food was VERY good and the staff was very nice (if a little busy).
The knishes were just right and the latkes tasted like they should.
The brisket sandwich was tasty, but needed some acid or sauce.....
Will return and sign Eleven City's praises .
Oh and the draft root beer is very anise-y, but good

We were visiting Chicago (Michigan Ave) and looking for something near the hotel and activities we had planned and Eleven City Diner popped up as an option...with picky kids you try to find something with plenty of good options. The food was amazing and the huge portions left us full with some leftovers for the kids for later. The staff was so welcoming and friendly right from the moment you walked in the door. When we visit Chicago again, Eleven City Diner will be on our list of must visits and we will gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun place with great food!
Came for lunch while at a conference. Our server Johnathan was AMAZING. He was efficient, professional, personable and genuine. Decent amount of options for both breakfast and lunch and creative drink menu. Food was good, seasoning on the fries was even better. Prices seemed a little high but worth it. I hope the ownership sees this and gives kudos to our waiter, he was a cool dude.
From the moment you walk in the door they create an experience that makes you want to come back again and again. Warning: come in with an empty stomach because the portions are HUGE. You definitely get a bang for your buck. The staff are very kind and the fun vibes, decor, and music bring you back in time!
Sorry I can’t give this place more stars. The lady who greeted us was full of personality and welcoming, after that our service went down hill. Just lots of waiting - never received our hot sauce and our drinks were never refilled. We felt like an after thought.
The food is really good, fresh, and big portions.

I went to a convention for magic the gathering with buddies of mine. One my friend knows the owner and they hooked us up with an amazing breakfast. This diner style restaurant is one my favorite place to eat in downtown Chicago now. Please give it a try and I know you will love the atmosphere and the heart meal.
Had a beautiful brunch at Eleven City Diner! Busy place, but a relatively short wait for a table. Amazing challah bread 10/10 we ordered a whole load to go from their in-restaurant store. Fun, friendly and happy staff.
Had a small mix up with our order and overall odd way of interpreting our minor menu substitution (hence the 4/5 star). But overall a welcoming and family friendly vibe. Fun atmosphere, perhaps on the louder side for some, but was very typical of a busy diner.
Nice variety of the menu, fair pricing, a little more $$ for a brunch compared to a typical diner however nothing outrageous.
