Little Goat Diner

Little Goat Diner is one of the best breakfast restaurants in Chicago for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Lakeview.

James Beard winner Stephanie Izard relocated her Little Goat Diner from the West Loop into one of Lakeview's most historically charged spaces — the former Southport Lanes, a Schlitz Brewery–era tavern with a documented speakeasy past and hand-set bowling lanes dating to 1922.
