Stopped in late night on way back from Cubs game. Cool atmosphere and a great way to sample some local fare. Street dogs and Italian beef all available here. Service is quick and efficient although not that easy to get a self seating table when busy. Good spot to get a dog and beer after the game.
I like Kitsch’n on Roscoe. Well, I have two hours to kill as I wait to meet my son, so I had brunch at Kitschn on Roscoe in Chicago, and now you get the benefit of an incredibly detailed review of the one item that I ate!!I ordered the Candied Bacon Brunch BLT.Wow, it was delicious, and I recommend that you try it if you eat here.Here is the menu description: Scrambled egg, candied apple-wood smoked bacon, tomato and romaine on butter-griddled Brioche with honey-mayo, accompanied by Danish hashbrowns.Although the bread looks like ordinary white bread, its actually brioche baked into a sandwich loaf shape. Butter-grilled makes it soft, not crispy. Soft might also be a general feature of brioche, Im not sure. I was satisfied with the soft texture, but normally I prefer crispy toast for a BLT. Keep that in mind if you, too, have a crispy/soft preference for BLT toast.The scrambled egg was delicious. Technically a folded egg, meaning I could see that it was cooked thinly and then folded over twice to give it a nice height and volume. I think that also makes a tidy sandwich, as chunks of scrambled egg dont fall off the sandwich when you pick it up.There was a generous amount of bacon, delicious, and the sweetness was subtle, probably appropriate for a sweet/savory sandwich like this. It seemed like maybe it was brushed with brown sugar while frying, it was not thickly coated with a candied crust or anything.The tomato and romaine were generous, fresh and crisp.The honey-mayo was thin and subtly sweet, not heavy handed.Danish hashbrowns are awesome and delicious, I loved them. They are thick cubes of skin-on potatoes, prepared with purple onions, red peppers and lots of fresh rosemary. These are very strong flavored and well-seasoned, so again keep that in mind if you prefer traditional shredded hashbrowns, or breakfast potatoes that are milder.Im here at 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so the place is empty. But they can be quite busy during normal meal times.Kitschn on Roscoe is a famous restaurant thats quite popular, its been featured on at least one television show, and has a great local reputation. The retro environment is wonderful. I suppose its an intentionally kitschy planned dcor rather than these genuine articles have been here for 50 years, but its definitely comfy and charming.I had an awesomely friendly and competent server. I saw other reviews indicating that some servers here are not always so.When it comes to the price of restaurant food, Ive totally lost perspective regarding what is bargain, appropriate or overpriced. Lately, to me, everything seems expensive!! The entre I described was $9.50. Thats probably normal for this type of restaurant in Chicagos Roscoe Village, Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.
I liked the atmosphere and my friend loved his chicken and waffles but my crab cakes with eggs Benedict was strange. Some menu items are better than others I guess.
Very cute place, but not so for the food. Could not sit inside because the music was too loud. Should have known when there were lots of plates being cleared with food still on the plates.
Amazing place. My girlfriend and I went to kitsch’n for the first time today for a late breakfast. We were very impressed with the staff and the quality of the food. This is a place I would suggest if you want great food, great service and a great atmosphere. Kitsch’n is one of the best and unique places I have visited. Its a must that you give them a try… and get the breakfast burrito!
Went for adinner– good, went for breakfast– strange, just wonna have a simply nice eggs and things. dont know if like it or not, maybe try again couse its next door
Just Like Breakfast Mom Made. The cinnamon toast is great and scrambled eggs are just like home. Offers cult classic of fried chicken and waffles. Warning: Strawberry pancakes have the fruit cooked inside. I love it, but not for everyone. Good coffee.
