Sarkis Cafe

I’ve been in the area a long time, but today, May 05, 2026 was my first time visiting this place. Saw a video on YouTube, figured I would give it a try. Enjoyable breakfast, the pans are a nice touch. Also, plenty of ketchup, and other condiments, and pump bottles of the Alcohol Gel (which a lot of places no longer offer). I had the Disaster Omelet. An enjoyable breakfast, I will be back. Also, plenty of parking.

Honest review from someone who has been eating here for 22 years; -Bacon Loretta still slaps like it always did -Hash browns are not as good as they used to be. It’s probably the same brand of hash browns, but whatever that brand is, it’s just not as it was 20 years ago. -Fountain drink Sunkist doesn’t hit like the cans did back in the day; the mix isn’t as good as it is in the can. -The skillets look cool, but they are made out of plastic. Glass plates were better than plastic skillets. If you’re gonna do skillets, use metal Atmosphere: Pros: -Glad they still have the inner part of the cafe

The best diner in the north burbs hands down. Been going here for years and am sad to see they have to sell the real estate to make ends meet. Support this restaurant if you can, some of the best breakfast food around and a long standing family owned business. They make good food, will not bs you, and will treat you well as they have for over 50 years. Support this restaurant if you can. They're among the best and yet are often overlooked for the usual chains

Sarkis is steeped in tradition as this restaurant dates back decades into the fabric of Evanston history. There’s not much to the place, in fact it looks like a little house on the intersection of Gross Point and Crawford. The interior is adorned with HUNDREDS of photos of customers throughout the years, many of them washed out but still discernible as to who is pictured. The menu is fantastic. There’s so many uniquely named items - such as my favorite sandwich the Loretta - that are oddly familiar the first time you eat it. And the taste is absolutely fantastic. Apparently they’ve kept the sa
