4.0 of 5 stars. They always give you more than enough food, and the cinnamon rolls are delicious. However, you have to get there at a good hour or you will be waiting for a while.

OK, but not great

You get a lot of food for your money. The food is ok. Not great, not bad. The sweet rolls were really good.

2.0 of 5 stars. Breakfast here is pretty good - I'm a big fan of the eggs benedict with watercress and tomato. The cinnamon rolls, which is what Ann Sather's is famous for, are mediocre. I often find them hard and…

3.0 of 5 stars. I don't quite get why this place is so famous, particularly for brunch. I actually prefer the dinners over the breakfast. They have several vegetarian options and it isn't usually so busy then.

Ordinarily, Chicago breakfast places have a hard time realizing that breakfast=coffee. In this case, however, a terrible breakfast is nicely paired with an equally terrible coffee. Like the two pewople that...

Always reliable

The breakfasts here are always good, but this location is huge -- try not to let them put you in the far-back room. Head in on a weekday and the crowds aren't a problem. And I've never waited more than a few...
