🥞 About the Venue:
Tucked in the heart of West Town, Uncle Mike’s Place is home to Chicago’s most beloved Filipino breakfast! 🇵🇭🍚
This cozy neighborhood diner has been a local favorite since 1991, serving up comforting lugaw (a savory chicken rice porridge similar to congee) and hearty Filipino breakfast platters with your choice of protein — from longanisa sausage to tapa beef. 🥩🍳
> “My mother-in-law lived with me for 25 years, cooking every day — eventually, we added her recipes to the menu.” – Owner Michael Grajewski
Come hungry and ready for warm hospitality — Uncle Mike’s is a true Chicago comfort food institution. ❤️
