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.

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.

A little spot for breakfast or lunch, right across the street from Grant Park. – In Short Located in the historic Fine Arts Building, this cafe draws a mix of students from the nearby Art Institute and tourists visiting Grant Park. The Mediterranean menu features salads, pasta and vegetarian plates. Bargain breakfasts are a specialty: The Taylor Street offers scrambled eggs topped with mozzarella and marinara sauce, while the Athenian features an omelette with tomatoes and feta cheese, along with hash browns, kalamata olives... read more

Hit and Miss – I ate there three times in three days. First night, I had a reuben sandwich. Delicious! This simple sandwich is easy to goof up, but they did it right. Excellent sauce, not too greasy, perfect. Fries were nothing special. For dessert...the super chocolate cake. Excellent! Great service that night and the second night. The second night I had a malt. It was runny, and came in a glass--I expect shakes/malts in a glass with the remainder in the metal mixing container. Not a lot of variety, either. Third time was b... read more
