Eleven City Diner

Chicago's Best - Old School - All Day Delicatessen
The concept of Eleven City Diner is to celebrate and preserve the diner culture. This is evident from the moment you pass through the vintage revolving door. You are graced by the sounds of organ jazz trios on the house for example (Jack McDuff, Hank Marr, Jimmy Smith, and Richard "Groove" Holmes provide the soundtrack of diners), pristine white tile, mahogany booths, polished chrome, and a long counter manned by an in-house soda jerk. Eleven City Diner makes their own phosphates, shakes, floats, and egg creams. Chicago's vanilla phosphate had a color more akin to ginger ale and just the faintest hint of vanilla.

General Info

The staff at Eleven City is attentive and accommodating with their personal recommendations. There are a lot of good things about Eleven City Diner. The menu is killer, the staff is friendly, and any place that plays organ jazz at 10:00 am in the morning says to me "let's check it out".
