Located in a great spot on the corner of Addison & Southport. I got the brisket & gravy. Don’t be fooled that it’s your normal biscuits and gravy because it’s far from it. This dish comes with an open biscuit with hunks of brisket on top, smothered in gravy and topped with two over easy eggs. If you’re not looking to take a nap immediately after, you’ll be fine getting the half portion. I was only able to eat half and took the rest home with me. It was so good!
They have indoor and outdoor seating. A lot of smaller tables if you’re dining solo like I was that morning. Staff is also really friendly.

Gluten free cupcake pancakes are great! Chorizo and eggs were also excellent.
The cortado was a nice way to start the meal.
Parking on Southport can be difficult but lucked out and there was a spot right in front of the restaurant.
Picked up some marshmallows on the way out. If you like marshmallows stop by and pick some up.

Spent a nice weekend morning walking around Southport and finally stopped in here to try and it was delicious. Nice casual vibes inside, and there was a fun selection of all kinds of jams, sauces, and other fun baking items for purchase. The breakfast we got was also delicious, with the breakfast sandwich being as tasty as can be and the bread pudding pancakes being a perfect savory bite to share. The sausage on the sandwich was delicious and it was light but filling. The bread pudding pancakes were so good but just note, they are a little dense. Maybe more cake-like compared to standard pancakes. But definitely worth getting. Really looking forward to going back.

Went on a Sunday, sat right away (group of 2). Service is quick, seating is a little tight, but the food is high quality and pricing is fair.
The pancakes are exceptional. Order the breakfast sandwich if you don’t know what to get!

Southport Grocery and Cafe is a gem! I absolutely loved the cozy vibe and friendly staff. The brunch menu is mouthwatering — the Bread Pudding Pancakes are a must-try! So fluffy and delicious! The Cappuccino ☕️ was spot on, and the freshly made sandwiches made it even better. Perfect spot for a casual catch-up or a weekend treat. Will definitely be back!
Highly recommend!

Just went for the first time and really enjoyed the food and service. Our waiter was very helpful and lovely. We had some questions and she knew all about the dishes, which isn’t often the case. Her recommendations were also good.
I was a big fan of the gooey and delicious, low key sweetness of the bread pudding pancakes.
The grilled corn and cheese sandwich was a standout. Think of creamy elotes in sandwich form. Really creamy and flavorful.
The red potato mash is very sour cream and chive forward and I found it delicious.
My quiche was a little lacking in flavor, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that. But it’s a big portion which some might appreciate.

Stopped by Southport Grocery and Cafe for brunch after hearing all the hype. The place has a cute vibe, but man, it gets packed—had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Ordered the famous bread pudding pancakes and the brisket & gravy. Pancakes were solid but didn’t quite live up to the buzz, and the brisket was tasty but kinda on the small side. With a coffee and tip, dropped around $25. Service was friendly but slow, probably ’cause they were slammed. Overall, decent spot, but not sure it’s worth the long wait.

We love this place. The food is excellent. We got the hash with wheat toast and biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs on top. The biscuits are the best I have had in Chicago. The pulled pork gravy is absolutely amazing. The staff are very friendly. They were apologizing to us when we accidentally spilled our coffee cream. Completely our fault and thank you for being so helpful in cleaning it up. The free cupcake for checking in on yelp was also amazing. The seating is community so you can be potentially set next to louder people. But everyone was very friendly. Definitely recommend if in Southport.
