The restaurant also serves lunch and even has a few bottles of wine available. But they call it the Breakfast Club for a reason. Back to top Dearborn Diner. Not much has changed about this place since it was the Fog City Diner. The deep booths were built to accommodate at least six, so two to four people breakfasting here have plenty of elbow room.
Tables are deep enough to hold a little paperwork.
One of the specialties is the corn cakes, three thick, savory, pancake-sized corn cakes served with decent black beans, two eggs, a lively salsa and sour cream. Biscuits and gravy is good enough, with so much gravy it comes in a bowl and is served with a spoon. The chicken sausage with apple and sage is worth ordering. Back to top Heaven on Seven. But this cramped, converted luncheonette space on the seventh floor of the Garland Building in the Loop is where it all started.
