About this business
You probably will not find any actual artists in Artists' Cafe, as the Café is named for the Fine Arts Building, where the restaurant resides. Artists' Cafe serves reliable diner fare, such as burgers, omelets and roast chicken. The prices are a little high for a diner, but it is a better bet than the chain restaurants found nearby. The patio is a nice place to sit in the summer. Grab a bite and go play in Grant Park, just a couple of blocks away.

I ate at this place for 3 evenings running whilst on a visit to Chicago from UK. I found it good value for money, the staff really friendly. Nice to sit outside and watch the world or be cosy inside. Anyway, I enjoyed it and was happy.
Good Breakfast – This is such a good restaurant to go to especially since it's located on Michigan Avenue near alot of Chicago's attractions (the Art Institute, Millennium Park, etc). Good diner for breakfast.
HATE THIS PLACE – Did not know until time to pay that they only accept American Express credit cards and also I was counting the change to give to her and the lady at the counter told me to give her whatever I have. Food was not that good for the prices and customer service was horrible. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone
The RUDEST restaurant experience I have every had – I was running the Chicago Marathon yesterday. I was walking down Michigan Avenue and I stopped in the Artists' Restaurant for a quick cup of coffee. I purchased the coffee and then asked where the bathrooms were...the woman said only paying customers can use the washroom. I looked at her and said I just bought a cup of coffee. She said the washrooms can only be used if you are ordering food and sitting at a table or the counter. I said okay, I will have blueberry muffin and... read more
Best Breakfast – I had breakfast at this restaurant and it was fantastic. The hashbrowns and coffee were great. Much more reasonable then hotel we were staying at. The service was fast.
Great food and great prices – Turkey club was great and fries were delicious. Service was fast. Definately a great place between classes and they give student discounts
WORST RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN! ~ Accross from Grant Park~ – Yes!.. I had lived in Chicago for 20 years and I've NEVER had the WORST GYROS and HOT DOG I'VE EVER HAD!.. They served OVERPRICED GYROS with 5 pcs of potatoe wedges FOR $9.75 + TAX... hot dog with the THINEST fries you'll ever have in you life for $6.75 + TAX . I went at this so called Artists' Cafe / George Mitchel's Artists' Snack Shop: artists-cafecom on Jul. 3rd. to have a good time but it turned out to be the worst day to start my July 4rth weekend... It was ... read more
One of the worst experiences at a restaurant. I've had better at stand up counters. – All my friend and I wanted (we are both Chicago natives) was to do two things: enjoy the weather at a cefe we've seen but never been to, and have something to drink (after all it is a cafe). We saw on the menu that the minimum was $3.00 per person. So, he ordered a 2.95 iced tea, and I ordered a cup of hot tea at 1.95, planning to get another. The waitress we had was awful. If you ever get her, I recommend switching tables. She is middle ag... read more
Great Outdoor Cafe – I had a cheddar burger and it was out of this world. We went back the next day for breakfast and it was excellent. Loved the food and character of the Fine Arts Building. We also enjoyed a great cappuchino sitting outside and gazing at the people as they worked their way around local attractions.
