Delicious breakfast

Overall rating:

The french toast I had was delicious. The waitress was very nice and chatty. The service was quick. I had to be at work that morning and was in and out pretty fast. I look forward to my next visit and trying the omelets

I have lived in the area for 6yrs EVERYTIME I go to this place which has only been less than a handful of times the food and service is terrible!! I would not suggest this place to anyone!! I wish they would just close the doors cause I would not miss it being GONE!! I tried giving this place a chance but everytime I had gone over the past 6 yrs it is just as bad as the time prior!!

Overall rating:

Service is bad and slow. My toast was not delivered with my eggs, and I had to ask three times before it arrived. My husband's omelet did not come until LONG after everyone else had finished eating, and it was cold! Our waitress was clueless -- truly didn't seem to understand why we had a problem with the order of delivery or the temperature of the food.

We just moved to the neighborhood and thought we'd try Pauline's. Our first visit was horrible!! BAD SERVICE!! So, we thought it was just a bad day. We thought we'd give it a 2nd chance and again-BAD SERVICE!! Don't waste your time here-visit the other great restaurants in the neighborhood!!

I've lived in the neighborhood for years and I have to admit that I always meant to stop in and have some breakfast but didn't until about 3 months ago and now I can't go a week without breakfast at Paulines. Yes, the service can be iffy at times and yes it will definitly get crowded, but overall the place is great. Great food, great diner atmosphere, great portions, and great company if you plan it right! If you're in the neighborhood, I would give it a try. Just remember that like any other restaurant, when the place gets packed the staffs stress level will undestandably raise.

By Tigger from Chicago, IL, January 27, 2007

Overall rating:

IT's been a staple in my n'hood for years. So, I want to be fair. But, not my kinda place, anymore:

- Avg diner food
- Eclectic, bright decor, just not scrupulously clean.
- Packed, a line on weekends.
- Eat. But don't linger, don't ask for more coffee, while owner is hovering over staff like a hornet! No complicated questions. Hurry up, eat, pay, and get out!
- It's ALL business, here.
So, I'm sorry to report, Pauline, the atmosphere there = :(.
Better off visiting other local Ander'lle establishments like Augies, Angels, or Ann Sathers - where the customer always comes first, the food is excellent, and you can relax and enjoy your meal, without being ignored, rushed, or rudely treated!

By Scott from Chicago, IL, January 26, 2007

Overall rating:

Overrated neighborhood diner. The restaurant's namesake runs this place like a tight ship and it shows. Tension in the air that makes the staff touchy. And don't forget lingering over that 2nd cup of coffee is okay as long as others aren't waiting for a table. Or you will be told.

Overall rating:

This is a very hit and miss resturant, I live in the area and have been there many times, never has it been so bad that i wouldn't go back. And when vistors are looking for something special I just hope this place isn't too crowded. Its worth a try.
