Bump...

Found a good diner on a recent trip -- Tempo Cafe, on Chestnut in the Gold Coast area. Great breakfasts, open 24 hours a day, etc. You know the drill. Lots of cops, neighborhood people and out-of-towners who know the place. I had one of the best waffles of my life there. My wife had an excellent corned beef hash and eggs. Both dishes were perfect.

Tempo is a classic Greek diner with good, efficient service. Prices are not super-low but the food is more than good enough to make it worth a few extra bucks. (Two enormous breakfasts with coffee were about $20 w/tip, which is not bad for downtown Chi. Portions are huge, too.

I believe the same family who owns/operates this diner also own Santorini, a nice restaurant in Greektown.

Thumbs up on Tempo.
