Rate-A-Restaurant, #10 in a series
Restaurant: Lou Mitchell's
Location: 565 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago
Type of restaurant: Coffee Shop/Diner
What we ordered: Egg white omelet with a side of bacon (Maria), spinach & mushroom omelet (Mike) and a cheeseburger (Ann).
They stipulated: Cash only, no checks or credit cards.
High point: As you wait for your table, the hostess walks around with a basket of donut holes (cooked in no cholesterol peanut oil) to tide you over. When you get seated, the hostess hands over mini boxes of milk duds to the ladies (and only to the ladies) and when you finish eating, everyone gets a mini tub of vanilla soft serve ice cream. How nice is that? Oh, and the omelets are the fluffiest ones we've ever had, they come in a skillet with a side of potatoes and the servings are huge. Ann said that her cheeseburger was delicious too.
Low point: Parking was a b*#ch and the wait could be long since you have to wait for everyone in your party to be there to get seated.
Overall impression: Enjoyable.
Chance we will go back: Next time we're in Chicago.
