“ We went for brunch on a Friday and had a great experience. The service was fast and friendly. The food was on par with tasty diner food. The portions were big, and the prices were very reasonable for the large amount of food. We got a couple classic breakfasts, one with the brisket corned beef hash and one with the country fried steak. Both were excellent! The brisket came in nice large chunks. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially during the week when it’s not packed like it probably is on the weekend. ”
“ Purely based on food, it's 4 stars. The reuben was excellent. The skillet was good. The other foods were a bit bland. The burrito I wish came with some salsa to brighten it up. The fries and has hash brown were not seasoned. The French toast was good. The service was great. The atmosphere is so cute. ”

“ This place is a find in the Lincoln park area across the street from the Tin Man (Oz park). Service was fantastic and the food was so good. We went prime time for Sunday brunch and it was consistently busy but just a slight wait for a table. Casual atmosphere, very unpretentious. Great place for brunch. ”

“ Stopped in here for the first time today. Officially my new favorite breakfast spot. The servers are awesome, food was amazing, and atmosphere was the cherry on top. Once the place died down a bit we were able to have a convo with our server - Liz. Liz told us the story of how this location of Dash of Salt & Pepper opened - truly incredible and you love to hear it. Old school neighborhood diner feel with delicious food. Like seriously delicious food. Soup of the day was to die for, ill be craving it in the days to come for sure. Green line omelette was delish.. the pancakes were dangerous. Oh and if you are a hot sauce lover... there is a hot sauce wall (I am a hot sauce lover!) If you have never been here I highly recommend it - Say hi to Liz & Wendy! Keep up the awesome work 3 ”
