Uncle Lou’s father started the family business in 1923, and then entered his son, Lou Mitchell.
Enough fresh eggs have been cracked, made into omelettes, cooked in skillets and sold at Lou Mitchell’s to go side-by-side more than a few times around the world. And to think, it all started with one man’s dream in Chicago, Illinois.
The man was “Uncle” Lou Mitchell. His graciousness, friendliness, hospitality and constant effort and attention to quality and excellence soon had the droves of hungry eager customers standing in line.
The fun part of Lou Mitchell’s magic formula was added one day in 1958. Since that day, millions of donut holes to all and boxes of milk duds to the ladies and children have been given out.

Classic in Chicago. Fun and delicious place to stop if your in Chicago. Not to far from the Museum campus. Since this is a popular destination, plan ahead for a short wait.
Love the breakfast. Expect a line but it usually moves pretty quickly they give little boxes of milk duds and pass out bite sized donuts to waiting guests.
