    I wanted to send this message to the Owner/ Manger of Wake n Bacon I bought my mom up from Mississippi to spend Mothers day weekend with me. She lost her mom and my grandmother in January 2025. I wanted to make sure she was surrounded by love on her 1st mother day without her mom. I made reservation for Saturday at 2:30 at your restaurant for May the 10th, I currently live in Joliet IL when I checked my gps it stated it would take us some time to get there due traffic . I quickly changed my reservation to 3:45 p.m for my mom , my 2 daughters and myself. I received a phone call from your staff at 2:14 p.m stating that we had to place our order for food by 4p.m and that we had to finished by 5 pm. I made it clear to the staff member that we were coming and understood the instructions We checked into the Drake hotel and uber over to location . While in the Uber we viewed the online menu. We arrived at your location at 3:52 pm the doors were locked, I called no one answered. I walk to the front on the location / side door and a statf member seen me and open the door. He refused to let us in and stated the kitchen was closed. I told him I had spoke to someone here and even showed him my call log . I also repeat the instructions that were giving to me about having to place our order by 4 and been finished with our meal. I also explained to him I had my 75 year old mother with me and he still refused to let us in and did not provided with a number for management. I went online and pointed the 15 min holding reservation policy and we were only 7 min late . The way we were treated was heart breaking , the uber had left us and were in the middle of downtown Chicago on the busy weekend ever Mother's day just trying to celebrate my mother I hope this is not how you treat everyone

    I thought the flavors of each dish were complex enough for someone with a more refined palate to appreciate/enjoy without overwhelming people who haven’t been exposed to that sort of food before! The decor inside was so cute and trendy as well!

    Excellent food, friendly staff, smaller space but did’t feel crowded. Photo machine not working was kinda a bummer as I picked the place for the fun/photos. Thought there would be more to look at/ambiance. Street parking can be a challenge. Food was yummy!

    The chef came by our table and explained some of the menu offerings. He also shared a sample of his bacon ham, which is simply delicious. He prepares it fresh and it is the perfect topping for the burger and grilled cheese. The Tetris shaped tater tots are so fun for kids, and for adults too! Great service and ambiance!

    They’re trying way too hard here. You have to order through a QR code app or up at the counter when you first walk in.  Then they have a little buttons you have to push to even have the server come over to the table.  No salt , no pepper & I had to pay for ketchup. Great food, but absolutely nothing else about this place was good.

    The food here is overrated in my opinion but the portions are big so you get your moneys worth. Very pretty on the inside and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!

    The bacon was great! I’m not sure I fully understand the service and ordering system but I’d go back…

    This place is not worth the money at all. It’s over priced and the food is trash. You serve yourself too and there’s no way to refund you because you pay before you even get the food. Never ever going back.
