This place literally looks like a shack on the outside right now with its camouflage olive green painted exterior and wooden boards guarding the entrance. I could hardly make out the “Bongo Room” sign. But when the place is packed at 9:30a.m. on a Saturday morning, you know it’s gotta be gooooood.

As everyone reviewed, Bongo Room is a MUST TRY brunch place. Our party got a main dish for each individual person plus a chocolate tower to split between 3 people. Each bite was a mouthful of absolutely delicious, guilty pleasure – loads of eggs, sauces, chocolates – mmmm, I’d do it all over again!!

this place rocks. you have to get there and try the french toast. it is stuffed with something and covered with something else. and the sauce is out of this world. wow. can’t wait to get back there and try again.

So I have been wanting to go to the Bongo room for the longest time after hearing about their crazy pancake and french toast options, I mean you are talking to a dessert queen over here. We went with a group of 11 people – yes so we had to wait for at least a hour but our food came out rather quickly and it was definitely worth the wait! If you could I would go with several people and get different dishes so each person can have a taste of everyone’s dish. The portions are so huge here that it is hard just to eat one thing by yourself!

i love coming to bongo room for brunch! the only downside is that it can get super crowded, and the wait is painful…especially when you’re running on an empty stomach in the morning. there’s actually another bongo room in the south loop that’s much bigger & spacier – i prefer it over this location.

Holy crap this place is great. If you want HUGE portions of either breakfast or lunch, this is the place to go. I go there for breakfast and have to get half portions because I just can’t finish the decadent meals. They are tasty beyond a doubt and the price is good too. I bring all my friends there when they visit.

Bongo Room is well-known for their brunch items but I tried two of their sandwiches for lunch. The sandwiches were GIANT! It also comes with a side of hash browns, caesar salad, potato salad, or mixed greens. You may have a hard time finding parking in Wicker Park but this place is worth it.
