I would recommend getting in early if you’re looking to have breakfast or have a reservation. The seating area is small and fills up fast. Here are the dishes we had.
The Goat from Ipanema – This drink was a blend of two rums with pineapple, coconut, miso, and lime. Very refreshing and a more bitter version of a pińa colada.
This Little Piggy – A deconstructed breakfast sandwich with sausage, sunny side egg, on a cheddar biscuit with a chili garlic chive sauce. It was fantastic and the sauce offered a subtle but sweet aftertaste.
Avocado Toast – My Mom got this and really enjoyed it. She raved about the herbey limey drizzle over the top of the greens the toast was under.
The Simple Goat – 2 eggs your way, bacon or sausage, fruit, toast, or hashbrowns. I recommend getting this dish if you’re looking for something light. My Dad is a light eater and this was perfect for him. Bacon was cooked perfect and crispy, just how we like it!
Great diner with an awesome service staff! Can’t wait to come back and try even more of their items.

while pricey, the food is pretty good. i really liked the shrimp sammie and the salted maple hojicha latte. service was friendly, and the interior was super cute. my group was sat by the door however, which got pretty cold from people coming in and out

For brunch, this is definitely a go to place. We had done our homework before we came to Chicago and had made a reservation but of course I screwed it up and we came late. The staff were very good about trying to accommodate us on a very busy Monday long weekend. When we did get our table the food was all spectacular. Everything was fresh and very tasty. The service was friendly. We were sitting outside so I’m not sure what you can say about the atmosphere other than you’re outside. It was a beautiful day to be outside. Everyone in our party got something they wanted, whether it was savory or the ooey gooey sticky bun. Prices seemed a little high but they make sure to pay their staff good living wages so I really appreciate that. This is definitely a nice place to stop for brunch if you’re in the area. I suggest making a reservation and then also showing up on time.

Elvis pancakes were amazing. The patty melt was delicious; the pickles were crunchy and the cheese just dripped off the melt. And the pork entree was also spectacular. Also, the fries were crispy and fresh. Overall, the experience, atmosphere and the server were excellent and I would come back in a heart beat, plus the place is clean and esthetically pleasing to walk by and be at.

Chicago is progressively becoming dominated by the flavors of Chef Stephanie Izard, delivering some of the best menus in the city at her restaurants like Cabra, Duck Duck Goat, and now – unsurprisingly – Little Goat Diner.
Little Goat takes the classic, nostalgic diner theme and enhances every aspect in a manner consistent with Chef Izards now iconic “Little Goat” branding.
Welcomed by pastel color, classic red diner booths, and friendly staff, Little Goat’s sidewalk appeal preceded its menu as the bustling patio was lit up by the neon “Diner” sign.
Sitting at the bar, my company and I ordered the appropriately named Sloppy Chicken Sammy with a cold brew.
The coffee, while initially forgotten by our server, was pleasantly spiced with cinnamon; an unexpected but necessary surprise.
The sandwich is best described as bahn-mi meets po-boy, combining flavors reminiscent of those found on Argyle with a presentation (and sense of soul) you would expect down in New Orleans.
The thoughtful marriage of pickled veggies, tangy ground chicken, and a generous topping of bean sprouts made this sandwich uniquely familiar. The soft hoagie paired well, absorbing whatever was left of the filling. Left in the plate was a generous serving of this curious filling, which on its own could be a killer slaw/salad.
Exited to try one of the many intriguing dishes left on this menu.
Great for a hangover, even better for a date. Be sure to make a reservation.

As someone who genuinely appreciates hospitality and understands the balance between cost execution and guest experience, I came into Little Goat Diner with high expectations.
We arrived with a reservation and were seated about ten minutes past it, which honestly was not a big issue. These things happen and the staff handled it professionally enough.
I do want to highlight that our server was excellent. Her customer service was genuinely great, attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. While the menu recommendation itself was not the strongest, her overall service was easily the best part of the experience and deserves recognition.
Where the experience fell short was the food, especially when considering value. My wife ordered a sandwich that was overloaded with coleslaw to the point where the bread became soggy, completely defeating the structure and intent of the dish. For the price point, the sandwich felt poorly composed and lacked the care and finesse you would expect. It came across as something quickly assembled rather than thoughtfully built.
My own entrée did not redeem the experience. The presentation was underwhelming and the flavor did not stand out in a way that justified the cost. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing felt memorable or elevated.
Ironically, the standout of the entire meal was the kids menu. The kids dishes were well executed, enjoyable, and more satisfying than the adult entrées, which says a lot.
Adding to the value issue was the beverage pricing. Charging four to five dollars for a can of soda felt excessive, especially when it was not even a Mexican Coke or a specialty offering. It only reinforced the sense that the pricing did not match the experience.
By the end of the meal, with a bill over one hundred dollars, the overall experience simply did not align with the value received. While I respect the concept and reputation behind Little Goat Diner, this visit did not deliver the quality or execution expected at this price point. Unfortunately, it is not a place I would return to based on this experience.

We took a day trip all the way from Houston to Chicago just to eat here — and I can honestly say, it was worth every single mile. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with genuine smiles and warm energy that immediately made us feel at home.
Our server, Danny, was absolutely amazing — truly the heart of our visit. He greeted us with such enthusiasm, guided us through the menu with confidence, and had that perfect blend of professionalism and personality. You could tell he genuinely loved what he did. He didn’t just take our order — he crafted an experience.
We started with the dish called “This Little Piggy.” Let me tell you, I have not stopped thinking about this dish since the first bite. The biscuit was out of this world — buttery, soft, golden, and with just the right texture to soak up that incredible sauce. The sausage had this deep, flavorful richness that paired beautifully with the subtle Szechuan spice. It wasn’t overpowering — it just lingered softly, leaving this delightful tingle that kept you coming back for more. Every element of that plate worked together like a song — bold, comforting, and unforgettable.
Then came the Yucatan Pork, and oh my goodness… what a dish. The pork was perfectly cooked — crisp and golden on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. It had that deep, savory flavor that can only come from time, care, and someone who really understands their craft. The texture contrast was perfect — the crunch of the outer layer giving way to the juicy softness beneath. If I could change just a couple of small things, I’d say a bit more sauce would make it absolutely perfect, and the chips were maybe a little too crispy for my taste. But those are tiny details in an otherwise incredible dish.
Everything about this place felt thoughtful — the atmosphere, the flavors, and the people behind the food. There’s something special about a restaurant that makes you feel like family on your first visit, and this place has that magic.
So, to Danny and the entire team: thank you for such a wonderful experience. You turned a simple day trip into a memory I’ll never forget. If anyone reading this is thinking about coming here — stop thinking and go. You’ll be so glad you did.
Sending lots of love and gratitude,
From a very happy gal from Texas

Such a sweet staff here! We’ve been in a few times, loved the mac and cheese (so fresh and tasty!) and today just a side trip in with the wife. Hot chocolate/matcha and loved every bit as much as the food they always serve with such care. Great little place, really kind people and good prices too for such high quality food and drinks.
