Salonica Restaurant

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.

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 neighborhood, family restaurant that fits the bill for good food and convenience. Parking can be challenging, but it is perfect for those living nearby that can walk. It was busy the whole time I was there, which is a great sign.

The breakfast was great. The menu is exactly what I would expect from a diner. The waffles were great, but larger than expected. So I probably should've split one between the two kids. Great value overall. The 4 stars on food is for general lack of seasoning (salt). Our waitress was very friendly, and the vibe of the restaurant was exactly what I was looking for. Most of the other patrons seemed like regulars -- not a lot of tourists -- which is a desirable quality for me when searching for good restaurants in an unfamiliar place.

A surprisingly good casual neighborhood restaurant. Be prepared for big portions. Loved the chilli.

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.

Warm, friendly neighborhood spot with comfort food. The Braised Lamb was very tender and flavorful, with a choice of potatoes or rice, soup or salad, and vegetable. Good portions served.

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!
