Walking in we were greeted with smiles. My husband and I are both ordered double cheeseburgers meals where you pick what you want on them. He got the onion rings and I ordered regular fries. (They offer garlic fries, WHICH BOTH ARE HAND CUT FRESH) FIRST OFF- the onion rings were crispy on the outside, and perfectly cooked on the inside, yes I am took a few of my husband's! My French fries we're perfectly cooked to be slightly crunchy on the outside but not dry. They're hot and soft on the inside, as they should be cooked. SECOND- both of our hamburgers were cooked to the point where they melted in our mouths- both buns was extremely fresh and soft, and as for the condiments, they were layered on perfectly to where when taking a bite, you could taste every condiment equally. THIRDLY- Timing on the food was fast! We had sat down long enough to absorb the environment, next thing we knew the food was brought out, and in front of us piping hot! I took a bite of my hamburger and could literally see the steam, from it just coming off the grill. FOURTHLY- Our drinks- We had the perfect amount for just us two without having to get seconds, otherwise the perfect amount. The boss man made sure to tell us to enjoy our food when we received it, as well as the staff asked us half way through how everything was prepared for us as well as asking us if we needed anything else. When we went to leave they asked us if everything was cooked up okay. FIFTH- Prices - Everything was extremely well priced so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank if you come here to eat. For two double cheeseburgers with higher-priced items like blue cheese on my hamburger, while my husband got onion rings plus the two pops (otherwise two double cheeseburger meals) it was at or around $28 before a tip. SIXTH- Atmosphere- This is a smaller building so most of the tables were two-seaters, don't let that stear you away- I'm sure they'd allow you to put two tables together if you have a larger crowd?! They have tables outside if you're looking to have some fresh air on nicer days, it's extremely clean and well put together. I saw a couple people get up to leave, and the employee was on it, cleaning the tables as soon as they left. LASTLY - If you've been driving by wanting to try this place, I would highly recommend it! Even if you're in a rush they have a drive-thru, and they're super fast cooking up your order. (I believe there was two to three orders in front of us, and we still received our food quickly.) This is also a mom and pop shop, family owned, and you can taste the love, quality, and care they put into the food! The employees are extremely nice, informative, and the prices are cheap, but the quality of the food is not! Check this place out! You won't be disappointed! I don't believe I've ever a review this long before, and that's just because of the fact that, I can't stress how nice and comfortable this place is... AMAZING JOB, I can't wait to go back and get a meal made from basically...
Read moreThe Chicago Post Cafe is a spot that we stumbled upon and can't get enough of!
Despite its small size and limited seating, the cozy atmosphere and welcoming outdoor patio make it a perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal. The menu is surprisingly extensive, offering a wide range of options to satisfy every craving, from classic Chicago-style hot dogs to mouthwatering chicken and biscuit sandwiches, fluffy pancakes, and savory bacon.
As a personal fan, I can attest that their chicken and biscuit sandwich is a must-try, but don't miss out on the diner-style sausage gravy and home fries – they are truly some of the best we've had!
The staff is the heart and soul of this diner. Their friendly smiles, warm greetings, and genuine hospitality make you feel like you're catching up with old friends over a delicious meal. The restaurant is always impeccably clean and well-stocked, ensuring that your order is always fresh and never disappoints.
The combination of fantastic food, affordable prices, and exceptional service makes the Chicago Post Cafe a true standout. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this charming diner is definitely worth a visit – you...
Read moreI'm all about being fair and understanding. I also agree that this was my first visit. I was very disappointed in the fact that the cashier was very undertrained on the ordering system to the point that I needed to look at it and try to help figure things out, because as hard as she tried to get the attention of a man who appeared to be at least a manager, he wasn't very helpful to her at all!. I ordered a vanilla latte and got the most putrid tasting coffee with a shot of vanilla in it. My mom ordered a Greek omelette. The menu states it has "feta cheese, tomato, onion, spinach, Greek meat topped with house made tzatziki sauce". There was no meat or sauce at all! Yes I could have said something while I was there, but my elderly mother is one of those people that will not allow you to do so. So my hope with this review is that you'll do some more training to show your employees how to use the register/ordering system and you'll let your cooks know to double check the menu ingredients against what they're...
