The ambience was so cozy, the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and smiling. The breakfast was incredible and the coffee was AMAZING. It was a pleasant surprise since we found the restaurant by coincidence. I wanted to go back just for the coffee, but it didn't fit our travel schedule. Definitely coming back if I ever come to Chicago again!!

This little place specializes in Greek or Greek inspired dishes and was a great find after spending a day in the city. The prices are quite reasonable, especially for the location. We had the Avgolemono soup, Gyros Plate, Curry Chicken Salad, and the Salonica Omelette. Everything was fantastic, but our favorite dish was the Curry Chicken Salad.

A cosy dine-in with a great variety of dishes, including some greek ones, at good prices. Very friendly staff, felt immediately welcome. Great value for money, I enjoyed a lot my Salonica burger after a long walk in the neighborhood. I recommend that, if you are a nerdy tourist like me, you go to the book store nearby (Powell) either before or after you get a warm tummy by Salonica.

I loved this place! Just tried it because was in walking distance from my Airbnb and food was amazing! Great service, staff was all very friendly. The Greek omelet was the best thing I have had in Chicago!

Located near the Museum of Science and Industry, this diner is a friendly and homely place nestled in a corner. Food portions were great and amazing service. Ordered the Gyro Platter (meat) and Corned Beef Hash breakfast platter. We were not disappointed! They have an amazing selection of sauces too.

Always a go to on a weekend morning. Great food given the prices. Huge variety in the menu. Servers are always so kind and great at refilling coffee! Love the chicken gumbo.

It was my 1st time ever dining in Salonica Restaurant. This restaurant is nestled in the well known area of Hyde Park in Chicago. It's quaint and it's clean. Closed on Monday, the restaurant offers daily specials of Greek eats and American comfort food. I was there for lunch and enjoyed the Gyros plate with a salad.

Stopped by for lunch during the weekend and was very happy we made the choice! Easy walking distance from the science & industry museum, and the nearby bus stop. It’s a cute little diner with a lovely atmosphere. Staff is friendly and service is fast. Food is reasonably priced and generously sized. Everything you could ask for in casual Greek fare. Has a huge menu for breakfast and brunch items too! We tried Nick’s Delight and Souvlaki. Meat was tender and flavorful. They have soup specials each day of the week and the egg lemon soup was fabulous. Definitely check it out if you’re nearby!
