Cafeteria Marianao

Crema's Take
“This West Side institution has built a devoted following over decades for their exceptional steak and breakfast sandwiches that keep customers returning generation after generation. While service consistency seems to have slipped post-renovation, the quality of the food itself remains a neighborhood anchor—fresh ingredients and satisfying sandwiches that locals consider some of the best on the North and West sides. It's a cash-only, no-frills kind of place where you grab quality breakfast and lunch classics, best experienced by arriving during posted hours and embracing the family-friendly, straightforward vibe.”

Came out of work excited for a cup of coffee, and the workers closed up the shop earlier than the time they’re supposed to close. Terrible, if the window says closes at 3pm then it should close at 3pm
After the renovations the workers don't do their job right they just thew the sause in the bag the whole thing fell the sandwich got so cover in sause
Hands down one of the best steak sandwhich in the west side of Chicago. Go check them out. I been coming here for years after they closed there California ave location. Always fresh and the staff is always friendly.
One of the best breakfast sandwiches on the northside. Decent cup of coffee. Cash only. Ham egg and cheese with steak sandwich.
Classic. Food you can eat anytime of the day and be satisfied. Love these sandwiches. Grew up on them but at the milwaukee location. Just found out this place was here and it was automatic that I come. Happy.
