Eden's The Original

Each day, the cooks at Eden’s the Original fire up grills in preparation for the breakfast rush before the sun has risen over the Chicago skyline. Some fold blueberries and strawberries into buttermilk pancakes, and others sizzle up sausage, bacon, and eggs. Come lunchtime, they turn their attention to pure-beef burgers, meaty sandwiches, and subs, and shower plump Vienna dogs in chili, cheese, and onions. The dinner menu’s goods include deep-fried perch, barbecue ribs, and chicken alongside mountains of fries and slices of garlic bread.

The restaurant’s casual setting hosts feasting, but guests can opt for delivery to enjoy meals at home or at that fancy furniture store they sometimes pretend is home.
