"Service was amazing . We were seated quickly . We went for the restaurant week . Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful . We had the fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs for appetizers. For entree we had catfish and shrimp with mac and greens as well as jalapeño grits with lamb chops and ended with crunch cake with ice cream and brownie sundae. Everything was amazing and very fulfilling. Highly recommend. Beautiful decor"

"Brunch Review Went to Dawn AM Eatery for brunch and overall had a good experience. The food was solid, though I’m personally not a fan of catfish or chicken fried in egg, it can take away from the seasoning for me (just my opinion). Portions were generous. Must-try…the pot roast and grits, absolutely amazing and the standout dish. The cinnamon roll French toast was good, mac and cheese was decent, and the greens were well seasoned. Drinks were good too; I had the martini flight. Service was excellent, great customer service across the board. The vibe is exactly what the name suggests: a clean, neat, casual eatery. Bar service can be a little slow when they’re busy, and parking in the area can be tight, so be prepared to park on nearby streets. Would I go back? Yes, and again if you love pot roast, don’t skip the pot roast and grits."

"The salad was mmmmhhhh fresh blueberries, slightly dress, juicy mandarin oranges, almonds, strawberries, and salty/sweet delish. The cornbread pancake was at the top of my list with chicken skins/hot honey at a close second. Lastly, I had the Big Benny. I'm a Benedict lover, hollandaise, no muffins, poached egg, and green tomatoes. I'm in!!! Great concept just too wet once it got to the table. The hot honey was not consistent in heat. I got one that was hotter than the other batch."

"My mom and I were visiting Chicago for our annual girls' trip, and as soon as we landed and checked into our hotel, we made our way to Dawn AM for a late lunch. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived, but I always prefer having a reservation, just to be safe! We were warmly welcomed at the front desk by two lovely young ladies who seemed genuinely excited to have us. Their energy set the tone for a great experience. We were seated right away, and shortly after, our server Layla came by to greet us. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She patiently walked us through our options and made us feel completely at ease while we decided what to order. Here's what we ordered: The Fish Fry (Choice of fried or blackened catfish fillets, served with two comforting Southern sides) Our sides: Mac & Cheese Yams Greens Since we were sharing, we added an extra side, and honestly, everything was delicious. When I asked my mom what she thought, she said, "10/10!" We both especially loved the yams, they had a unique citrusy twist that was different from what we're used to, but still very tasty. The restaurant itself was bright, cheerful, and spotless. The color palette immediately lifts your mood, and the bathroom was just as clean and well-maintained. Overall: Amazing food, impeccable service, and a beautifully kept space. Definitely ask for Layla if you visit, she truly made our experience memorable."

"What an awesome place! The owner is a delight and greets the guests very frequently throughout the restaurant. The staff are so kind and positive. The food is AMAZING. The dishes and glasses are CRYSTAL CLEAR. The cleanliness and positivity radiates from the owner down to the silverware. Great work everyone!"
