Located in The Old Town neighborhood of Chicago, Nookie's on Wells is a family diner that has been serving gourmet breakfast dishes to Chicagoans for over 50 years. Great food and service. 5 out of 5 stars.

Went to Nookies for brunch! It's a really great spot for a laid back Sunday brunch with your family. Great options on the menu. We got the green skillet. There were a lot of greens and we got the eggs done sunny side up! Well cooked. Wish the sourdough bread was a bit fresher and more toasted so that it would go better with the rest of the dish.

I'm not entirely sure how I hadn't been to this spot before...having been in the area countless times at many restaurants. But I found myself there today after a show for lunch. We were seated quickly and greeted with water and coffee almost immediately. We were not rushed at all, but when I was wavering between two choices, our server helped us and even recommended a tweak to the chicken wrap (blackened chicken vs plain) and it was perfect. Pancakes were delicious and a large portion and the gyro skillet special was eaten in approximately 5 seconds, so I assume it was also tasty. One in our party commented on the amazing amount of toilet paper in the bathroom - which honestly is a great touch. You never want to run out at a bad time... Food was delicious - even the soup with my wrap was delicious. Really flavorful (chicken noodle) and bits of chicken, small shells for noodles and nice pieces of chicken - it really was a standout. Reasonable prices, clean, delicious and friendly. What more could you ask for?

Who doesn't love and need a classic breakfast spot? The staff was super friendly and kind, FAST service and guys the portions are double what you're gonna find anywhere else. Expect to take home leftovers. What a great breakfast place. I'm a huge fan of anywhere I don't need a far in advance reservation for these days. Give them a visit for a lovely classic breakfast experience! Also, the chili omelette is genius. Give it a try!

Good atmosphere and good food. The waitress was very friendly and the area is very nice to sit down and eat a quick bite. Definitely be back to try some other dishes

Very nice neighborhood restaurant. This was close to our hotel and easy to walk to. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Nookies on Wells is all about the food; the creative breakfast dishes, portion sizes and variety with something for everyone. Whatever breakfast dish fits the appetite at the time, whether it be pancakes with different ingredients, egg dishes, omelets and skillets, Nookies chefs do it right. So I ordered the Pesto Scramble made with Pesto sauce and goat cheese. If you like pesto and goat cheese this is a treat. Soft, fluffy egg dish with amazing flavor. It is nothing like I've had before. We also split (4 of us) the Banana Nut Pancakes o and the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes. Large thick soft pankake portions and both not subtle tasting but full of flavors. Also other egg dishes we ordered over medium. All these breakfast dishes were served with delicious Canadian Bacon. What a treat. The menu has a huge creative variety of Omelettes, Skillets, Pancakes, Frittatas, Egg dishes and breakfast sandwiches. It seems that no matter what we ordered, they cooked it better than anyone. Nookie's service and cheerful attitude added to a great experience. Our waiter was very enthusiastic when explaining the choices we made and he was right on. There is a coffee bar you can sit at in the middle of the dining rooms and added to the atmosphere if you want to get served there. Nookies does not take reservations so there could be a wait (unless you read this and decide to get there early). We will definitely be coming back and because there is so much more to try we will come back often.

Excellent service and solid food. I had the corned beef hash and eggs which had the salty goodness you'd expect from corned beef.
