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.

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out where we'll go for breakfast this Sunday since we're staying downtown...may just have to give this one a try! Other options are Orange or Toast (I know...a wide variety there!)
