The name says it all. Or does it? While BRUNCH may be serving up brunch everyday, you can definitely expect more from this Orleans joint. Sure, they have the classics, you'll find eggs Benedict, buttermilk pancakes and skillet scrambles on the menu, but you can also expect unique twists, like the unbelievably sweet sounding s’mores French toast topped with vanilla bean marshmallows. Ingredients are organic and locally sourced right down to the herbs from Michigan and those delectable seared blueberry muffin tops are fresh from Evanston. If you don’t feel like brunchin’ it, flip to the lunch side of the menu and delve into the BRUNCH burger served on a thick pretzel roll that comes from a little bakery in Northbrook. Who says Brunch is just for the weekends? Go ahead and treat yourself to the Sunday morning tradition on Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday…

Brunch classics with updated twists are being served up daily at this River North hotspot. Red velvet pancakes with swirls of cream cheese frosting arrive fluffy and packed with flavor. And while strawberry stuffed French toast bites sound small, don’t let the name deceive you. These inch and a half thick pieces of toast are oozing with fresh strawberries and cream. For those of you lacking a sweet tooth, BRUNCH has a bevy of egg-y options. You can’t go wrong with the Chi-town skillet—housemade sausage, cherry wood smoked bacon, sweet cherry tomatoes, jalapenos and aged cheddar are tossed together over heaps of potatoes, then topped off with two eggs cooked any way you’d like. However, the food isn’t the only updated part of the menu. BRUNCH's “adult” drink menu is filled with fresh juices and bubbly sure to get your day going or be the perfect cure to last night. If you are lucky enough to grab a seat on Saturday, be sure to keep your Friday night buzz going with $5 mimosas. view full menu here
