What our guests are saying

If you’re looking for a true Chicago neighborhood gem, Stella’s Diner in Lakeview is it. Walking in, you immediately feel the history and warmth of a family owned spot that’s been around since the 60s. The staff treats you like you’ve been coming there forever and they’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The menu is exactly what you want in a diner: classic breakfast served all day, plus comfort food favorites that taste homemade. I also love that they offer lighter, healthier options, so you don’t have to feel guilty if you’re not in full “diner mode.” Prices are super reasonable for the portions you get, especially in the city. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee and eggs, a big family meal, or grabbing takeout through delivery, the quality is always consistent. Stella’s has that rare mix of nostalgia and neighborhood charm…….. Definitely a must if you’re in Lakeview East and want a taste of Chicago comfort.

Stella’s Diner is a delightful spot where I had the pleasure of indulging in a variety of their drinks and dishes. I started with a refreshing apple juice but couldn’t resist the temptation of their chocolatey, delicious milkshake—it was simply divine! For my meal, I enjoyed the Belgian waffles, which were perfectly fluffy, and the Corned Beef Hash Skillet that was packed with flavor. The Avocado, Tomato, and Onion omelette was fresh and vibrant, complemented by a side of crispy bacon. I also tried the Mac & Cheese, which was creamy and satisfying, and the Stuffed French Toast that was a sweet finish to my meal. The standout aspect of my visit was the fantastic service; the staff exuded good vibes and made me feel right at home. Overall, Stella's Diner is a must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!
